ugh i too am sick of the "personal style" movement. Especially when its the trend like "things I wore before I found my personal style" and they are just nineteen. Everyone looks bad when their nineteen! Its a rule! And its not "bad" personal style its just...not the same because YOU AREN'T THE SAME. YOU ARE FREE TO CHANGE WITH THE WIND.
