Transition from fitting in to standing out.

Young people today don’t want to feel left out. Everyone wants to belong to one social group or cliques. In the process they end up trying to ‘fit in’. As a teenager, I know what it means to feel left out. Your friends at school wear everything in vogue from short skirts, to high heels etc, and all you have is a pair of sneakers, faded jeans and the ‘apoche’ dresses your mother made for you …. Your friends go to the coolest parties and have the gorgeous guys as boyfriends, they go to the coolest places and all you do is sit at home taking care of your siblings (who are practically driving you crazy), you never get invited to parties because you are not popular. Then you start dressing like them even though you are not comfortable, you hang out with them even though they say ugly things to you, you laugh at their dry jokes just to make them happy, but one thing you fail to realize is you are just a SHADOW. Fitting in makes you a shadow of others because the real you is lost in the middle of the heavy make ups, short dresses etc. I don’t have anything against short skirts and heels don’t get me wrong, I love heels ;) ….. (5 inches babe)…… but don’t wear them if you are not comfortable in them. Standing out on the other hand, is being you, being different, being outstanding. Define your style; wear what you love the most. You don’t have to dress like ‘Hannah Montana’ to stand out. ;) . The basic tips to standing out are: It’s not only when you wear expensive clothes you look good. You can purchase good clothing from local designers, stalls, boutiques etc. make ups are optional but you can try just powder and lip gloss. Paint your nails occasionally and make sure your dresses are well ironed. Ensure you pick the right color combination. Ask people around you for advice, so you don’t end up looking awkward. Buy what you can afford, and rock ‘em. Be confident, lift your shoulders high. You don’t have to have a lot of money to look elegant, and you don’t have to go contrary to values and tastes just because you want to fit in. the number one key to standing out is CONFIDENCE.
