I Love Fashion Because I Like My Money Where I Can See It

Fashion is the unspoken language between groups.

Fashion is such a cool and unique way to speak without even saying a word.

It's a universal language between literally any person, culture or group. Your personality shines brightly through your ripped jeans and white tee. Maybe you're inspired by James Dean, or perhaps you were just born in the wrong era.

From just a slight glance, people recognize a style that they like.

High school is a pivotal point in a person's life, during which they're trying to find themselves and learn who they are. Fashion is there to inspire and break boundaries.

It's easy to get lost in all of the cliquishness of high school. Alas, style is there to be a stable community you can always run to.

Some people in high school masque their insecurities with fashion. They use it to boost their self-confidence, and that is really what it is meant to do - freely express your personality.

Once you find your sense of style, your confidence will be boosted. And that's an amazing feeling.

Knowing YOUR unique style is recognizable by the way you carry yourself.

Inspiring people to feel that same exact way is heroic. Not all heroes wear capes… BUT if you do, make it look good!

I wrote a paper during my junior year of high school, and I mentioned that certain clothes automatically toss you into cliques you might not want to be in. And sadly, that is true.

If you like dark articles of clothing, do not let someone label you as "goth." Or if you like Nike but you aren't athletic, do not be labeled as "athletic." Clothes are meant to be interpreted as whatever you want, but being mislabeled because of what you wear is not cool. (By no means, how women dress does not mean yes!!!)

Being confined to one group of friends gets boring anyway. Be friends with everyone. You will find yourself growing and learning from these people in high school. Always grow and learn from people.

Never limit yourself to one mentality or to one style. Switch it up! Keep 'em guessing!

Fashion is supposed to bring people together, not separate them. This includes any event for any age.

Embrace the uniqueness of people, and let people be happy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
