Style Like Me: Part 3

Friday, November 3, 2017





I decided to end this series on a big note: instead of putting two people in this post, I'm putting THREE PEOPLE (so in short, it will be a little bit longer post).  I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took part in this series. I have a passion for taking pictures of people and asking cool questions and I got to do both for this. I hope I will have more upcoming photo series because I LOVE THEM!

 1) How would you describe your personality? 
 My personality has shifted drastically as I have grown older. When I was younger I tended to be more on the shy introverted side. Now as a young adult I’ve realized that I still am pretty introverted when I am on my own but when I’m with a group of people I’m very social! I also like to think that I have some what of a good sense of humor. Laughing and joking is good for the soul so I try to share that part of me as much as possible with the people around me. 


2) How would you describe your style?





My style varies and shifts depending on my mood. I would consider myself a thrift store aficionado, therefor a lot of what I wear and influences  usually comes from thrift or second hand stores. If I were to describe my style it would be laid back, comfortable and cheap. Feeling comfortable in what I’m wearing influences my confidence and the way I carry myself throughout the day.  Many of my go to outfits for a typical day in my life would consist of comfy leggings and a band shirt. 


3) Do you ever connect your style to your personality?

 Personality serves as a huge influence on my style and goes hand in hand with who I am as a person. The way I dress allows me to make connections with people. Style creates a platform for the development of relationships and connections. We tend to gravitate towards people with the same likes and values and style plays a huge factor while making those connections. I can name countless occasions on where I’ve been stopped on the street for wearing band t-shirts that strangers can relate too. I usually tend to take advantage of those opportunities to spark a conversation and force myself out of my introverted nature. 


4) Name 3 things you love about yourself.

 I love my taste in music, my natural curly hair, sense of humor and how easily I can connect with people. 








Mark


1) How would you describe your personality?
I'm pretty laid back. Different environments and energies bring out different sides of me but for the most part, I stay chill. I'll sum it up: just listen to the song "Go" by Common. I try to keep that vibe in all aspects of life.

2) How would you describe your style?
My main thing is with how I dress. I just have to personally dig it and be comfortable. A denim jacket, a flannel shirt, Disney shirt, joggers and a pair of Converse. If I could do that every day, I would.



3) Do you ever connect your style with your personality?
I try to. It's funny, sometimes people I've met tell me I don't dress like how I would act. Depends though, if I have a guitar in my hand or I'm at the dance studio or at a coffee shop with a book, then the scene fits. 

4) Name 3 things you love about yourself.
I don't know if I could pinpoint. I love how one of my eyes is bigger than the other. I love hoe my head doesn't fit most hats. I love how buying pants is impossible. I love that I'm scared of frogs. I love that I dabble in too many hobbies. I love that I'm in love with Latina women. I love that I can't control my sweet tooth. I love that I feel too much. I love that I'm blessed with my all my struggles. I took a different take on this one. 




Melissa

1.) How would you describe your personality?

I would describe my personality as quiet and more reserved. I tend to be very compassionate towards animals, mainly dogs in all honesty. I really like learning and reading. I'm a type of person that if I put my mind to it, I will make sure I achieve it. 

2.) How would you describe your style?


 My style varies most of the type. Sometimes I'll wear sweatpants and a t shirt. I go from sporty to girly and kind of a more gothic girly rather than colorful girly. I like skirts and dresses but on a regular basis I wear pants and sweats. 

3.) Do you ever connect your personality with what you wear?

I tend not to, because I usually don't feel confident enough to wear it. My personality and actual style never really match up since my personality to me, is more of a person and my style is another person and they're kind of opposites.  I wish I would be confident enough to wear something similar to my personality since it's so wild. 

4.) Name 3 things you love about yourself.

 I honestly really love how independent and responsible I tend to be.

I really love how much I tend to get into something, or have a really strong passion towards a book or a celebrity. 

The third thing I love about myself is actually my curly hair. It took me a really long time for me to be able to fully embrace and love my curly hair because people always pressured me to straighten it, telling me they didn't like it. It wasn't until I was in high school towards my junior year that I actually began to just leave my hair curly and noticed that people started loving it. I stopped caring about what other people though about my hair and started doing what I felt more comfortable with.
