I love feminine, floral printed mini skirts as much as I like high tops and loose fitting tank tops. My personal style is a pretty even mix between a tom-boy skater girl and a pretty in pink girly girl. Both of these looks express who I am. Some days I love to ride my bike and be comfortable in cut-offs and converse high tops and other days I love to dress up in tights, high heels, and an awesome headband.
I'd say the most important thing to me when I'm deciding on an outfit is that I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard. I want my clothing to be straight forward and laid back. I don't want to make a person say "that doesn't seem like Dana" when they look at me. I want my clothes to be believable and honest. I strive to wear the things I do with confidence and edge while showing appreciation for the most delicate, beautiful details. Even though no one designer beholds all the desires I listed above check out freepeople.com for a line that comes pretty close.
So, the question is, how does my personal style parallel with my writing style? Well, it's pretty simple. As with my personal style, I am a fairly straight shooter when I write. I don't want to beat around the bush and I'm not going to try and convince you of anything. I want to make sense, communicate well and leave the rest to the reader for interpretation, inspiration, emotion, whatever. When someone reads my work or checks out my outfit I want them to leave with something. Maybe they want to attempt to write on a similar subject better than I have or run back to their own work and revise to make it more creative. The same is with my clothing choices. I want to inspire people, not to copy exactly what I wear but to take a risk and search for the exact article of clothing that fits them best. It may sound cliche but for me whether it's with personal style or writing style confidence is key.
P.S. I posted two pictures in attempt to portray both sides of
my personal style.
