Make it Your Own: Personal Style

whether i like the clothes someone wears or not, i always have to respect their personal style. if someone wants to wear blue shoes with a brown shirt and leather pants-who am i to judge?

when someone expresses thier personality through their clothes, its called 'personal style'. You can show your bohemian laid-back attitude by wearing neutral-colored long flowy dresses and cardigans, or show your indian roots by wearing a multi-colored sari and a bindi on your forehead.

however, personal style should belong to you. it should reflect who you are. therefore, copying someone else's style is not okay.

Swagger Jacker: someone who steals or copies someone elses style, slang, way of dress, ect. and passes it it for their own.

In the picture to your right, you can see how this girl is 'swagger jacking' Nicki Minaj. Check it out:
Black and pink two-toned hair, pink bra peeking through a black tank top, and the pants are (almost) identical.

Bottom Line of personal style: be yourself and not someone else.
