Fashion to me is more than just wearing articles of clothing. I love to think of fashion as if it is your own way of self expression. To me, it is like a wearable art form and you are the artist of this wearable art form.

In art, each artist has their own preferred medium they use
to create art which helps make their art theirs. Some use pencils, some use
paint and others even use recycled materials. I think that applies to fashion. Each
person has a part of their outfit that they focus on to make that outfit their
own. Some people focus on the clothing pieces, some focus on shoes and others
focus on accessories.

I have a very casual style most of the time so my favorite
accessories are printed socks and caps. 90% of the time, I am most likely
wearing printed socks, a cap or even both. If you need proof of my devotion to these
accessories, the photos you see in this blog post are actual photos from my instagram.

In these chosen photos, I give you a glimpse at my everyday style. Minimal and simple clothing pieces, a neutral color palette with some pops of color and cool accessories is how I summarize my outfits in a few words.
Whenever I buy both printed socks and caps, I always go for ones with one-of-a-kind designs and prints.
My sock collection is a mess of different types of socks. My personal favorites are the ones seen in the photos. Most of my socks are bought online or bought from my trip to Japan.
My caps are all bought online and their designs are usually spin offs of beloved logos or inspired by famous tumblr posts.
This is my own way of making how I dress my own and no one else's. The way how I accessorize gives me a sense of individuality. People who see me everyday remember my cool socks or cap. They know that it is my thing to wear printed socks and a cap with practically everything. Which I personally love.

Sometimes I like to change it up and play with different
focal pieces in my outfit but when in doubt, I always stick to the style that I
know best.
Sadly, there are sometimes other people’s definition of art
is not yours and people will critique art works differently. This also applies
to fashion. Not everyone has the same taste as you and may think how you dress
is strange.
In my own personal experience, I have gotten looks and
whispers from people looking at how I dress and there are times when I can’t
help but let it ruin how I felt on that day.
I know that I am not alone in that situation and many of you
probably can relate. My only advice for you is to continue doing what you are
doing.
Fashion has no rules. It is a form of self expression and
like I have said at the start, it is a wearable art form. Do not let anyone
dictate what you can and cannot wear. It is and always will be up to you.

So please yourself and wear whatever you want. Express
yourself through fashion the way you want. Just remember to stay completely
true to yourself.
Now let your creativity flow and have fun with your outfits.
Since you are the artist of the way you dress.
Good luck!
