I was very much close-minded when I was younger, towards people who are different from me. Haha like only my kind of people rock?<br /><br />Yeah, so it's great you shared your thoughts with us here! I'm guilty of having evil thoughts about the way people dress but I definitely don't show it on my face or laugh out loud... so here's to teaching me a lesson about being even more open minded!!mellyhttp://www.greenlaundry.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-40754302103480545222010-02-01T16:01:48.518-05:002010-02-01T16:01:48.518-05:00i hate people like that coffee shop girl.

That happens to me ALOT, not many people in Portugal dress like I do, and i get looked at alot, giggled at and some people even say for me to "contemporize". well, it used to get to me, not anymore. I'm happy i don't look like a clone like they do. I believe clothes are a way to express yourself. I love vintage clothing in particular cause they have so much more meaning than a chain store garment, so much more history.. <br />anyway, keep having your own personal style, not only it's a way for your to express yourself, but you look utter adorable in them!<br /><br />(sorry for the long comment. and btw, i have added you to my blogroll. thank you for reminding me^^)Nessie McInnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793860978586426749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-55426784466443149132010-02-01T08:46:24.729-05:002010-02-01T08:46:24.729-05:00Very very lovely shoes :DVery very lovely shoes :Dyiqin;https://www.blogger.com/profile/08832675032174105468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-44799242015265956262010-01-31T20:23:38.253-05:002010-01-31T20:23:38.253-05:00You look so gorgeous in all the outfits - I adore ...You look so gorgeous in all the outfits - I adore the second one.<br /><br />It's funny because I'll read on so many blogs, even some of my favorites, about how one <i>should</i> dress - with makeup, heels, no jeans, etc. And it seems so odd because, well, would we really want everyone to dress just like us? I think it's marvelous that there are girls who like to wear heels all the time but I could never handle it (my feet are wimpy). I love the variety of fashion.<br /><br /><a href="http://iamemmamusic.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> iamemmamusic.blogspot.com </a>emma wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521112479153552434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-59783000284483111072010-01-31T18:59:17.528-05:002010-01-31T18:59:17.528-05:00what a rude employee! i have seen many a wackadood...what a rude employee! i have seen many a wackadoodle outfit in my day, but i dont think i've ever laughed at someone else's appearance. you should keep your head held high and keep on looking beautiful!Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113599692927851843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-76552363287692247282010-01-31T17:42:11.993-05:002010-01-31T17:42:11.993-05:00Well, all she did was reveal her own level of bree...Well, all she did was reveal her own level of breeding -- a classy person would never act that way. That exact thing happened to me and my friend the other day, and it can be very shocking. I know people stare sometimes, but when they actually make remarks (or a derisive snort) one can really experience a moment of crushing self doubt. I always try to shake myself of a do exactly what you did -- feel a bit sad that such individuals close themselves off from their fellow humans. <br /><br />Anyway, that ultra blue neck tie is shockingly amazing!<br /><br />xxJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522743459936260901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-72221597741843578032010-01-31T11:19:09.546-05:002010-01-31T11:19:09.546-05:00I think it's good to care about fashion - it&#...I think it's good to care about fashion - it's often an outward expression of ourselves. People get so caught up in what they think is normal that they don't appreciate uniqueness when they see it.

Also, I wish people wouldn't be so afraid to try things out and wouldn't limit themselves!
