Individual style

I got quite creative today, I took some pictures; baked some cakes and attempted to make some earrings. I also found this rather awesome book called More dash than cash by Kate Hogg, it is my mums and was published in 1982. But I just love the pictures and the helpful tips on how to look stylish on any budget. I have only read a few pages so far but it is really good, it talks a lot about tweed and having an individual style. This is a fairly long quote from it that I rather liked ' Style is part of a personality and, like every other trait, is unique to each person. Everybody has a style, just as everybody has some sense of humour; what counts is whether it is an original and true style; whether it comes naturally and feels right. It is like an instinctive sixth sense to make the best of yourself.' I try to make my style as individual as possible, but sometimes those attempts fail. I used to be stuck in Abercrombie and Fitch hoodies with jeans; however since I started this blog I have tryed to stay out of them. Because that isn't what I would call unique; everyone one at my school dresses like that. I wish I was more original with my outfits and clothes but I just don't have the confidence; although one day I hope to find it. Sorry, that was a rather long ramble. X
