My style tip for those who feel less brave or shy: Try to think how you would feel if you saw a girl wearing this item that you are not sure about… Let fashion take you outside of yourself and stretch the edges of your comfort zone and creativity. Don’t be afraid to feel a little strange at first – that is what it’s all about.
