To Blend In

Posted by Nikita at 9:00 AM
I have decided to be 100% "myself". It is because I realized there is no use trying to change color just for the purpose of blending in. I have to admit that in the beginning of my career I changed my styles a lot to suit the work environment. It includes what clothes to wear and how I do my hair. However after a few years of working, I understood about one thing. I understood that although my clothes don't necessarily describe who I am as a person, it does reflect how I want people to view me. You get it? ekekekek.

Now, I want to feel relaxed and I no longer want to draw a line between being me at home and me at work. I would like to be myself the way that I really am everywhere I go. I want to be comfortable being me whatever I am doing. The reason why I stated that is because I used to feel very insecure about being the real me in a working environment that requires people to be in a certain standard. But then again, maybe it was my wrong assumption that lead me to that thinking. Perhaps also I was looking for someone I could follow in terms of styling but found none. Everyone is indeed very unique and to "blend" in is good but hard to do if somehow you can't find your own identity in it. It is like wearing someone else clothes when you are prettier wearing your own clothes. Unless of course you haven't found what truly suits you.

The real issue here is "blending in". As a teenager we try to look cool by blending in with the popular kids and do stuff we don't necessarily agree with. It still happens in the work place especially for women. They try to wear clothes or wear make up approved by their peers to blend in with them and as a way to not completely look like a black sheep in a herd of white sheep. 

I like myself as I am now and I think as long as I don't break any rules or do anything that will cause me to face prosecution or something, I am free to express myself however I like through wearing clothes that I think are suitable for me. By the way I really don't mean wearing sexy clothes at work, I only mean wearing clothes that I really do like without being influenced to wear clothes like the other people simply because I want to be accepted by them and because I do not want to look like a completely odd person among them. 

Wow..what a long story about "blending in"..:) hehehe..

Well..I guess I am loving myself much more these days that I don't mind people seeing me completely different. 

Okay. What should I wear tomorrow ya???..hmm..peplum again? ahh..I think that bright orange peplum really sets my mood. kekeke. Off to iron clothes now..*singing  huhuhuhu

XOXO
