Watching confused people scream "who the heck are you?!" made me think, I for one know that on particular days, one might consider me to be Catfishing with my outfits. I'm a girly girl, I like flowers and full skirts and fitted tops, I love high waisted everything and I'm a firm believer of the power of a belt, but from time to time I wear floaty non figure hugging pieces and it's weird to look in the mirror and see a different side to my style, or if you will, a different person staring back at me. Just last week I'd rushed an outfit together and ended up at work in black skinny jeans and a blue tank top only to be greeted with "you're wearing jeans today, who is this girl?". It's true, you caught me, I catfished as a casual chick with a little rock edge. I also had a day in a little loose black slip with a scarf jacket thrown nonchalantly around my shoulders, I thought about adding a belt to make the outfit a little more "me" but I decided against it, because I was so darn comfy! I think the same could be said for when you dye your hair a totally different colour. In just a few weeks I'll be going from Californian blonde to European brunette. Effectively Catfishing into a completely different person. Or so it seems.
I think that's actually why I love fashion so much, because it allows us to try on different personalities and try different styles. We can change ourselves to suit our environment, and change who we are to fit in with the crowd or stand out and make a statement.
I enjoy my catfish days, but I always love coming home to my own personal style, it reminds me who I am, and let's me show the world just who the heck I am!
