The other day I realized that I have lived in my comfort zone my entire life. There have been times where I have strayed a little and tried new things but for the most part I keep coming back to what is comfortable for me. This affects all areas of my life but today I am specifically speaking about my fashion sense.
Growing up I never really felt good enough, cute, or like any of my peers. I usually reached for jeans, a sweatshirt and comfortable sneakers. Actually at times the idea of stepping out and being noticed freaked me out so I literally did what ever I could to just blend in.
I would say I didn’t follow the crowd or that I was unique but honestly that was a lie. I lacked the ability to truly dress the way I wanted because I wanted so desperately to fit in. Now that I’m 23 years old I kind of want to step out of my comfort zone and try styles that I would only pine over from behind a computer screen.
Celebrities like Beyonce, Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus all share a style that I find interesting and daring! More often than not the style post that I share regularly on Fridays are inspired by one of the above mentioned people. I have an eclectic style and lately I just want to show that side of me more. Instead of just posting my favorite fashion looks I want to actually wear them in real life.
While mulling this over I made a style inspiration board and I would like to share it with you all! The pieces are all over the place and may take some of you back a bit but remember I did say that I am very eclectic.

Both of these looks are scary for me because I usually go for a more laid back look but I am going to try to push myself out of my fashion comfort zone. What do you think of the two outfits I created? Is it too much for a shy fashion virgin? Sound off in the comments below!
