An Outfit and Thoughts about Style

I may have worn this outfit in October, but it is still worth posting. Time just keeps getting away from me.

This outfit was inspired by Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky. I love how she remixes her items of clothing here, and I thought I would try the same. 

This outfit made some of my peers a bit surprised, but as I say, I wear what I want to wear. The other day someone saw a different outfit of mine and said that she liked my purple pea coat but hated the rest of my outfit. Fashion blogging has made me realize that this is a compliment, that if someone has feelings about my outfit, I should be flattered. I wear what I want to wear. I have my own sense of style, and I should stick to that. Yes, I take inspiration from other fashion bloggers. Yes, I have made too many fashion mistakes (example, bright blue tights and cutoffs in 8th grade; I have no idea what I was thinking.) But I am still proud that I, the ultimate introvert, at last have the courage to wear my orange pants with a forest green top or my purple rain boots with a plaid shirt on a lace dress, hold my head high, and show the world that I have style, however strange.
