Since middle school I, like many others, have used the way I dress as a means of expression. Today, my clothes are more conservative than my years in middle or high school. I believe the way I dress is conservative due to my upbringing. I grew up in a very conservative and religious family, where dressing anything but modest wasn’t acceptable. I have however, been able to branch out from this and slowly be more comfortable with myself and my body. Still, I feel the way I dress remains applicable to my sense of self and self-expression. Now, I am drawn to unique and unusual garments. Some might call them old fashioned, and I don’t disagree. Many of my clothes have unique accents such as buttons and quirky stitching or other features.

My clothes also have to be comfortable for me to wear. The colors of my clothes tend to include many earth tones such as burnt yellows/oranges, greens, and dark blues. It wasn’t necessarily by design, but I almost never wear bright colors. I think this is because I dislike bringing too much attention to myself. A lot of my clothes I find from thrift shops because I like the idea of giving clothes a second chance, especially considering the waste of the retail clothing industry. Depending on the weather and what I have to do throughout the day, my style can change. My shoes vary depending on the weather. If it’s cold, I’ll wear boots and other days I’ll wear flats.
