Young people these days have so much to face mainly because
of the media. The stress of exams, having a new fancy phone or the latest
clothes just to name a few! It’s hard but just remember that happiness is the
most important thing of all. There is a recession on at the minute so be
grateful for everything you own. It’s lovely to be on trend but Macklemore has
taught us something from his catchy song to ‘thrift’. Thrift is quite an American
word, but it basically means pre-owned. Now I’m not saying everything is always
good pre owned but in charity shops you can sometimes pick out really nice
things! I love have a looking in the local Oxfam in Galway! Have a look and as
well as gaining a bargain your supporting a charity. I really like old earrings
the clip on ones they would nearly break your ear but some of they are just so
beautiful. I worked in two charity shops and most clothes are steamed before
they hit the shelves but just pop it in the wash when you do your next wash.
And if you’re a student buying clothes always ask for that
student discount everywhere you go! Save a few cent or pennies! I love shopping
and sometimes I have to avoid Pennys (Primark in England) in order to save
money. I have a habit of buying stuff I’ll never wear. Always try on clothes it
can be a pain but it’s worth it in the end trust me. If you want to look your
‘best’ look up fashion magazines, fashion bloggers or Images on Google find
something you like and develop your own style.
And don’t worry, we all make mistakes (velour tracksuits aren’t for
anyone!!)
Personally I think your hair is your best accessory. Don’t
be afraid to play around with your hair although if your 90 and want a Mohawk
think of your grandkids please haha! And make sure your parents don’t mind you
experimenting with your hair. I can’t
wait for summer if I can call it that! Really want to Re-Ombre my hair and put
a pastel colour in it! I love dying my hair; I think my parents don’t notice anymore
the amount of times I have come out of the bathroom with different hair
colours! Be careful though you can damage your hair! Also if you’re dying your
hair think of the maintenance you will have!
I always wanted to design as a child or style people. Being
a student I don’t have the funds for the latest trends so leggings and hoodies
are normally my style haha!
Thanks for reading petals J
