About My Style:

It has taken me many years to develop my own style and create my own brand. The outfits I wear today are not ones I would have worn when I was a teenager. Back then, I cared too much about “fitting in” and wearing what all the other girls were wearing, but as I entered my 20s, I realized that I don’t care what other people think about my outfits as long as I like them and feel good in them.

I want people to look at an outfit and say, “Oh, Lily would wear that,” or, “That is so Lily.” I want to stand out and be noticed, and this isn't a bad thing. Too many women are shamed for being confident and knowing their worth. Society labels that as “cocky”  or “selfish,” or that you are seeking attention, but what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with wanting to wear an outfit that expresses who you are in hopes that other people will see it and see that it's okay to dress differently or dress the same? One trend that has to go is “shaming” because that isn't cute. I like the unique style I have cultivated because not only does it help me express myself, but it also links me to my mom.

My mom has such a unique and creative style, we are definitely both maximalists, and I draw inspiration from her every single day, so wearing an outfit that reflects her style is how I feel close to her even when I am states away. (Fun Fact: The only time I have seen my mom wear flats is when she works out in her tennis shoes because even her slippers are heeled, and that’s just the kind of woman I want to be)

Someone once told me that you should dress how you want to feel, and I want to feel like I have a major serotonin boost, I want to feel confident, happy, and I want to glow, and there is nothing wrong with that. Style is a way of expressing, and no one should have to apologize for their way of expression, nor should they be shamed for how their style is displayed.

If you don’t like what I wear, then don’t wear it!
