Anonymous asked you: I love your style! Fashion wise. (and art wise!) I was wondering how you got your own personal style?

ah, thanks! uhm, well, towards the end of high school i became more interested in cute clothes and started wearing dresses every now and then but was still mostly wearing jeans and shirts

don’t believe me? here, i’ll give you all proof

that was senior year

this was taken in junior year and i’m only in a dress bc it’s from a wedding (that’s my brother next to me)

that summer i went shopping with a friend of one of my brother’s.  she was larger than i had ever been and she is so full of life and so not ashamed of herself and so goddamn beautiful.  she is one of the best people to ever happen to me and i wish i could spend more time with her.  i’d never really had anyone that i enjoyed shopping with before - it had always been a chore - but she was so upbeat and i never felt judged and, to boot, she was on top of trends!

so i started to get together certain outfits i’d wear every now and then

which eventually turned into all the time

and somehow that lead to this!
