about the friends hating on you, I totally hate when people do that and have a friend who does that upon occasion. she’s just sharing her opinion though, but in a negative way. I don’t like it and I ignore it, but I don’t see it as a reason to end the friendship. We’ve known each other for years.

Bjorkismyhomie…do it, girl!

Rock those outfits with ATTITUDE and be true to yourself. I live in a town where very few people make the effort to look good and treat others with respect. I’m typically very shy, so fashion is one way to express myself.

Unfortunately, you will always encounter haters no matter what.

i had a smile on my face throughout this whole blog! i actually looked like i gave a damn in high school, starting junior year throughout. (my friend gave me fashion inspiration because she ALWAYS looked good) people stared and the teachers liked my style, and i even had a catty run-in with some girl when i wore a camouflage mini. her exact words? “camouflage is played out!” i paid her no attention and get walking. i was actually a bit scared of college, thinking, ‘no one else is gonna dress like me’ but those doubts are gone! i’m gonna look so good, and people are going to notice. i’m talking oversized blazers, lacy tights, doc martens, cardigans, pearls, leather, latex, the whole nine! fashion is my way to express myself, and if it worked for me in high school, no doubt it’ll work in college. :D

This article is really insightful. It is true…so many people hate on others because of what they wear.

I’m now 26. When I was in high school, I definitely had my own unique style. I’ve always been the girl who naturally stands out without trying. I believe this is partly because I’m multiracial and have a very “diverse” look. Both guys and girls didn’t understand the concept of individuality.

Anyway, I would sometimes wear my mom’s clothes from the 80’s to school. She had the coolest stuff. I would do my makeup differently too. People were constantly making fun of me. They laughed at me because of my clothes, my hair, all of it.

I agree with you guys…people who make fun of others are pathetic. Stephanie is right when she said that “fashion can really be an artistic expression of who you are”. Clothes/fashion can be so much fun when you’re being true to yourself. It is all about having fun and being artistic. Creativity is key.

I’ve never been a follower. It says something about the haters who judge people for having originality and INDIVIDUALITY.

I loved what Ashley said, too. It seems like whenever I fix myself up a little bit and actually show that I care about myself, certain people have a problem. My sister-in-law once made a similar comment about me being “dressed up” to visit the doctor. I simply took the time to shower, comb my hair, put on a nice shirt and some decent shoes…how is that “dressed up”? She also had a noticeable attitude on MY wedding day because I wore a cute pink halter dress with high heels to brunch. It is weird because she doesn’t show any interest in fashion or style at all, so why is she judging me for liking beautiful feminine clothes? I wear jeans on a daily basis (not by choice) and I wanted to be different. Some women feel insecure when they see somebody who has her own style and does her own thing. Why? Stop hating. Experiment with your own styles and see how much fun it can be, instead of trying to make others feel bad.

If I see a girl/woman who looks good and appears to be having fun, that makes me feel happy for her. If I notice somebody wearing a cute outfit and she is unabashedly unique, I will admire her. I won’t belittle her. My ex-boyfriend’s mom made fun of other women all the time. I would think, “Ugh…you are sooo bitchy”. All girls can be beautiful if they discover what works for them. We don’t all have the same style and that makes us who we are.

This is a great article! To be honest, I’ve never been very interested in fashion, and my wardrobe reflects this. In high school, I was put-off by all the girls who dressed the same just to fit in–Abercrombie t-shirts, skinny jeans, etc. In my mind, I associated shopping and fashion with trying to conform with the norm, so I always said “I hate shopping; I don’t care about my clothing” (even though I don’t really enjoy the clothing I wear). Now, I’ve realized that fashion can really be an artistic expression of who you are; it doesn’t mean you’re trying to conform or show off or you’re being materialistic–as an artist, I really appreciate that.

I’m actually looking forward to shopping now!

I really dont get why everyone hates everyone has there own style and ppl seriously need to stop this is why so many ppl have low self esteem wear your clothes with pride and confidence because your the one wearing it. I use to get looks but it was my style unique so who clame I don’t dress nice it s your problem

Great blog! Being true to yourself is the best advice. I’ve learned to be confident in my differences, altough it took forever lol. I’ve very petite and have a lot of defining features, not to sound rude, but I guess you could say I got good features all-around, no one seems to have a body even similar to mine! Especially not in a small town where there isn’t much diversity.^^ I use to hate it! But I’ve learned to embrace it. The point is If you naturally stand out like I do, work with it, own it. Dress the part.

To be honest, I used to NEVER get dressed up for class, and it would be kind of embarrassing because I would wear ratty sweats and a giant T-shirt. Most of the people in my school wear sorority t-shirts and PINK sweatpants paired with ugg boots. But yeah, I don’t really dig that anymore and I am DEFINITELY done with dressing down at school!

I don’t know if I’m going to pull out all the fashion stops (i’ll save those for going out :D), but I definitely want to be much more fashionable when I go to class. I think people who fashion hate are really only doing so because they’re jealous – they either can’t pull off what you’re wearing or they are afraid of something different and outside of the “norm” (exactly what this blog said.) It’s ridiculous when people give you snarky stares for what you’re wearing! GET OVER IT! This article has made me feel loads better, because if they wanna hate, let them hate! If people judge me or guys think I “dress too weird” to be approached, WHAT-EVER. I will wear what I like and you can take it or leave it!
