How many can relate to this hairstyle? How about the Jelly shoes, Risky Business glasses or the eel skin purse? These are definitely some trends I personally am glad are over. In high school, having the same purse as everyone else, the coolest shoes that are the latest rage or your hair styled as high as the other girls can make a difference in your high school experience. Even if you did not like the trend, most of us followed along just simply because it made life easier.
As adults, it has changed some, but not a whole lot. You are critiques on whether you have a smartphone (and what OS). We are judged by whether we drive a mini can or an SUV. Are we still wearing our hair curly or using a flatiron everyday.
Does your ponytail sport a scrunchie or just a simple hair band. Do you refuse to give up your cobalt blue eyeliner or have you moved on to the natural look. My point is, to a certain degree, most of us are still trying to fit in. I don’t stress about brand name clothing anymore, but I do want to be stylish, even wearing Merona
But what if you were self-confident enough to wear ANYTHING you wanted to? How about your hair color, would you try a crazy color?
Would you cut it all off and try the sassy short do? I have always felt like some women have either the self-confidence, the “I don’t care attitude”, or possibly a certain male anatomy to pull off some things that I never could.
I’m truly jealous of those who are comfortable enough in their own skin to be whatever they wanted without regard to what others thought of them.
I would love to try a cool red color with the chunky blonde streaks. What would you do or be if you had no one watching? Would it be something as simple as a hair color or a whole different life? Let’s all try to take that baby step toward loving ourselves enough to not worry about if we are going to fit in with the “in” crowd. Make your own team, set your own rules, and be unique!
Until next time- safe picking
