Yesterday my roommate came home with these shoes she thrifted, &amp; they were the cutest platform sandals that I have ever seen. Despite wishing I had them for myself, they suited her well &amp; I started to feel jealous about it. I feel like I can buy as many cool things as I want to, but still not much of what I have suits me nicely. Most days I dread getting dressed because I have to confront not knowing what I like or what looks good on me.

I can’t count how many times I’ve had a friend or seen someone and tried to replicate their style (doesn’t always serve me well because body, skin, &amp; hair can’t be easily copied). Sometimes I wonder if maybe I just lack the creativity to curate a really cool personal style. I want to be more sure of myself.
