Embrace yourself, embrace the new you

Embrace yourself, embrace the real you. A recent gathering with my school mates made me really open my eyes. The guy i used to know is no longer here in the room. The person i see today is a new person, changed exterior wise to embark a new journey.

Ending school life is like telling yourself that you are free, liberated from those school rules that inhibit you from dying your hair with rainbow colours or dressing up like a superstar. To me, ending school life does not make such a difference to me as i am rather this conservative, casual, simple guy. My style consists of just a pair of cool jeans and simple T-shirts. Thats me.

Fashion sense can be drawn from inspiration. You could look through the magazines and be like "hey, i want to look just like him". You could have a celebrity you adore and want to be a duplicate of that celebrity. To me, fashion is more of being comfortable, showing the correct image you are trying to portray without being explicit, showing your personality and feeling good of your attire. Sometimes, i truly agree that less is more as simplicity is sometimes the best medicine to a fashion disaster.

Changing your image can range from changing your hair, spectacles or even your attire. I find Asians(mostly Chinese, Japanese and Koreans) in particular are more like street fashion. its like, the way they dress, they present themselves are like more street, punk, rock. You could walk along the streets of Tokyo, Hong Kong or even Kuala Lumpur seeing teenagers with those spiky hair dyed in different shades of colours, wearing heavy accessories and trendy spectacles. Fashion is always changing. As Heidi Klum from Project Runway cleverly quotes ' in fashion, one day you are in, and the next day you are out'. Those words are true as today leather pants might be the what 'hot' but tomorrow, maybe metallic may be the new leather. Get it? That is why i prefer the more laid back type of dressing. looking simple, timeless, elegant(not in exact for me) and comfortable.

what i would like to say is that every era has its trends. Like the 60's is all about the Big hair, those polka dot skirts, those heavy and disco like accessories but you won't want to look like your era. what you would like to look like is like your age. Dressing up like your era is like looking back at the old photos and be like " Did i look like that back then?..." Its all about the timeless effect that i am trying to say. Nevertheless, dressing up is all about being yourself, thus before buying anything, think again. "Is this the image i am trying to portray? Am i going for that street fashion look?'. Fashion is after all a way of expressing yourself.

who does want to look like Prince charming or Cinderella. Yet, finding the right style for yourself is crucial. finding the right attire, the right look can make you feel from zero to hero. It can make you feel great as if you have finally broken free from your silky cocoon and break free, metamorphosing into something beautiful, gorgeous.

A friend told me that he after getting his first salary, he was going to get himself a D&G Mens' fragrance to award himself. And i was like..what?....OMG...why wear perfume when you are only 17? Its like...speechless. And for your information, D&G stuff can cost you your life.

Simplicity is beauty to me. Looking simple yet thoughtful about your attire is the hardest thing to do. My friend urged to send me for a makeover when we went for tea. Well, lets see how things go first ....
