Girly Girl

How does pearls and pastel pink sound to you? Well, they remind me of chicness and elegance. 

珍珠和粉红色听起来怎么样？给我的感觉就是别致和优雅。

For the longest time, I've been trying to determine who I am and what kind of style I have. I felt that I had to put my style into a specific fashion category in order to contain the sense of being normal and secure. Finding this answer was just like chasing after a string- I was once so close but then became so far again. Sometimes I like anything girly and dreamy; sometimes I'm into everything that is edgy and bold; and sometimes I'm crazy about styles that are eclectic and unpredictable. With the consistent changes my mind was going through, my heart was also beeping like crazy. Did I have this-skirt-is-so-not-me kind of moment? Of course. Have I experienced that I-don't-know-what-I-am-wearing type of day? For sure. So recently (yes, I didn't think this through till very recent), I started to ask myself: "Why do I have to put a label on my style?"
To draw a conclusion, I don't think we HAVE TO match an accurate answer to the question of who I am and what kind of style I have. Seeking who we are is truly a piece of art which could be confusing and frustrating sometime, but should also be a never-ending and self-improving process because everything is changing, including us and our taste. 

有很长的一段时间我都在寻找自我并想鉴定我的时尚风格是什么。我总觉得只有把我的风格归类了，才能说明我是正常的，才能给我带来安全感。寻找这个答案就像追着一条绳子跑一样，若即若离，忽近忽远。有的时候我对小可爱和梦幻的东西特别青睐；有时候我沉迷于很野性和大胆的感觉；有时候我又对那种不拘小节，扑朔迷离的风格特别钟爱。随着我的感觉不停在改变，我的心也跟着波动不少。直到最近我才领悟到：“我为什么一定要给我的时尚风格贴上一个标签呢？”
总结陈词吧，我就觉得我们不一定要完全给“我是谁”或“我的时尚风格是什么”找一个准确的答案。一切都在变，我们和我们的品味也在变。找到自我应该是一种艺术，一种自我提高的长期过程。

If you want to put a pink bow on, do it! If you wish to add an edgy twist to your outfit, don't hesitate! If you'd love to wear your mom's over-sized vintage sweater, why think twice?
如果你想戴一个粉红色领结，别犹豫！如果你想给你的穿着增加一点酷酷的色彩，为什么不呢？如果你想穿你妈妈的那件很大的复古毛衣，别再想啦，穿吧！
