Wear What You Want!

So I have never done a discussion blog post before but I really want people to comment on this one and tell me their opinion on it. This discussion is based on something that I am guilty  but I am challenging myself to change that this year.

Recently I was in a TJ Maxx clothing store and a girl (we will name her K) picked up a couple pieces for her friend (we will name her P),however her friend immediately shut down the idea of even trying the clothing on because she said that she doesn't like the way her legs look in things that go above the knee. Of course her friend K looked disappointed but she agreed to go find some other pieces that her friend P would wear. Now me still being nosy, couldn't help but notice that P picked up the first items and starred at them for quite a while. This to me clearly signifies that she really wanted to try to the clothes on but was to afraid. 

As I mentioned above, in the past years I have have been guilty of this by pretty much shying away from anything that showed my arms. When I was ages 6-11 years old I LOVED showing my arms but then something happened, I just stopped liking them. Therefore I didn't want the world to see them either. Then last year around March the desire to show my arms came back as I became more obsessed with fashion. In my opinion there are just to many amazing, beautiful, artistic pieces of clothing out there for me to shy away from some just because I dislike something about my body. After I finally broke down and got a Polyvore account I became obsessed with it because it is the closet I dream of hour by the hour but it helped me realize something: One day that closet will be my reality (budget willing) and after years of waiting for it I don't want to turn down wearing any piece for any reason other than it just being COMPLETELY UNFLATTERING TO MY BODY. I don't want my insecurities to stop me from anything and that includes wearing clothing I LOVE. I want to wear what I want and I encourage you to do the same. Beyonce launched a campaign #WhatIsPretty and I believe that when someone lets go of their insecurities and finally wears what they want IS #PRETTY...NO ABSOLUTELY  #BEAUTIFUL

Please let me know you thoughts, if you have been found in a similar situation and how you over came it.

Until my next post, wear what  YOU want! Forever, MIKO!
