Style dilemma's

Do you know this feeling of not knowing where exactly you belong? I'm having a huge difficulty figuring this out lately, especially when it comes to fashion style.

Me wearing Moi-même-Moitié

I don't know what my style is these days. For the past few years I have been into lolita fashion, but in the past year a lot of things happened, and I started to wear more casual clothing. It's been a very tough year for me, and so I didn't have the energy to dress up in lolita anymore. And it seems the energy and enthusiasm I used to feel still haven't come back to me.

I do still like lolita fashion a lot, it's truly beautiful. But it seems I'm falling in and out of love with it all the time. One moment I can consider selling everything I own, the next moment I want to buy more things to match my items.

I suppose I'm searching for who I really am. On one hand I feel like I'd love to be a lady from the Rococo Era, wearing pretty dresses and riding in carriages, and my house beautifully decorated.

On the other hand, I feel like a modern woman, who likes to wear sophisticated tops and skirts which compliment the figure, in simple black or in bright colors. Someone who wants to make a career, and who likes to follow the fashion and make-up trends.

It's quite contradicting, to like both alternative fashion styles and fashion trends. I know I don't have to choose between them, but I wish to be confident in whatever fashion style I like.

I think that's the most important thing of it all, isn't it? To be confident.
