This Summer, Dress to Feel Like Yourself

I dress how I like.

This Summer, Dress to Feel Like Yourself
Dress Up

This is a response to the article, "Dressing For Yourself and Not Others, With Confidence and Comfort."

I always like to dress comfy but stylish. I like to dress to feel the best version of myself. Even on my lazy days off. I couldn't care less if people judge about what I wear or not. I only want to please myself. And in opinion, anyone should do the same. People should dress to only please themselves.

When I was a preteen, I wanted to dress to impress my fellow peers. I tried to dress like other girls. But I knew I didn't feel like myself. I thought I would be more popular if I tried to dress what was trendy at that time. But now as a 25 year old, that did not matter anymore. As I grew up, I've learned to not conform to society pressure because I've figured out it doesn't matter and life is too short to worry about the silliest things. I figured that I would be happier to be my authentic self.

For now on, I only dress to impress myself. I like to dress in sundresses, leggings, crop tops, big chunky sweaters, heels, shorts, and sweats of course. I dress how I want, depending if I'm going out or not or how I'm feeling that day.

To anyone reading this, dress to feel like yourself. Do not care if people judge or not. Haters are going to hate. It's your life so live it by wearing what you want. Since it's getting closer summer, you can catch me wearing sundresses, shorts, and crop tops.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
