#Quoteivation: “Put yourself out there with no apologies.”

Don’t be afraid to show your talent, your skills, your personality. And don’t apologize for them. Don’t mind the reactions of other people. What matters is you’re being yourself without harming others.

#Quoteivation: “Let yourself like what you like.”

Don’t be ashamed of what you like, whether it’s clothing choices or sexual preferences. Don’t invalidate yourself by making it seem like your choices are less important than others’.
You matter. Therefore your preferences are not things to be dismissed.
And while it’s also not okay to tout your preferences and throw them in people’s faces to seem unashamed, it’s also not okay to dismiss or demean them in front of others.
You like what you like. As long as other people are not being hurt, no one can tell you to stop liking what you like.

The Importance of a Strong Internal Support Group

You know those times when you need guidance, when you need support, and you feel like there's no one around you to lean on? We all have moments of weakness. Most times we are strong, but there are times when that strength fails. Those are the times when we need a support group, but it's not everytime we have one. Then we feel alone.

On the Color Pink and Being Different: Be You (Quote-ivation)

I know it has been said a lot. Be yourself, be who you really are, etc. But it's true. In life, there would be times when being you might not be the best idea, but

#Quoteivation: Criticism and Compliments

Today was a very good day for me - I'm on cloud 9. 

It didn't start off well at first; I only had three hours of sleep and that always makes me feel sick and cranky. But I pushed on. And it was fantastic.

On Outfit Colors and Personality

I love wearing black. I posted my all-black college outfit before and I still wear variations of it even now. It's my uniform.

I don't feel comfortable when I'm not wearing black, or at least dark colors. I don't feel myself. If necessary, I can stomach lighter colors, but only if I absolutely have nothing to wear anymore.

I also don't like prints that much, especially florals. If I have to go for prints, I'd go with stripes, preferably in black and white or navy and white. I haven't tried wearing other prints like checks or houndstooth. And god-forbid you try to make me wear pastels. I hate pastels. For dresses, I can be persuaded to go with pastels, but for "normal" everyday clothes, NO.

I don't know why this is. Does it reflect personality? Maybe. All I know is if I want to feel 100% for the day, I have to don a black or at least a dark shirt. Oh, and it's much easier to look put-together with this color palette, and it's better for your budget since you won't need to coordinate that much in terms of accessories and footwear (check out my footwear below :P ).

What about you, what's your preferred outfit palette?
