Tough Love

Fashion, to me, is a beautiful, playful, artistic vein. I think there are vast numbers of people who possess it, but have tamped it down or completely shut it out. We're so creative and fearless when we're children and we can finally dress ourselves, but over the years people get into our heads and tell us what looks good and what doesn't. What is acceptable and what isn't. 

But it's always according to someone else's standards of beauty as opposed to our own beautiful creativity and expression. 

You were created as a beautiful individual; so why try to look like everyone else? You are a vital and important person with a vital and beautiful role in this world! Only you can fill that role! No one else is equipped to be you. So, go forward confidently and don't be afraid to try something new! 

One of my favorite looks that would have been deemed "unfashionable" up until a few years ago is pairing my trooper boots with a cute sundress! I just think it's sweet and adorable :) It's a look I like to think of as Tough Love. The perfect blend of strength and sweetness ^_^ 

Here's the list of items I used to create this look, and remember to use the hashtag #wardrobe2thelookingglass if you decide to recreate this outfit! 

Jacket: Charlotte Russe

Dress: Altar'd State
