It's easy to get lost in the crowd mentality. But you always hear people say that it's bad to fit in. Don't be run of the mill. Don't be a bland blade of wheat in a wheat field or a useless drop of water in the ocean. Be a rare pearl. Be a diamond. Be an unusual tropical flower or an endangered animal instead. But what does this mean?

As far as fashion goes, this means standing out. Do something unique. Change things up. Set the mood, don't let the mood set you. Walk down the street and wear something so bold and sensational that everyone's eyes will have no choice but to follow your every step as they think to themselves: "why didn't I think of that?"     
Still not feeling it? Trust me, it's easy...especially with today's fashion market. Do you know how many diverse apparel options are available right now? And that being "different" fashionably anyway is considered something to be admired and respected. Look at Karlie Kloss, world famous supermodel at nineteen. In just four pictures, she takes you from a timeless beach look reminiscent of the 1950s to casual plaid and jeans straight from the 1990s to a classic 1940s business suit ensemble that also pays homage to the 1980s with the enormously large hair and finally to a shimmery flirty sequin-covered bodice mirroring the more risqué side of things.     
This summer, don't feel confined to any particular one look. There are so many different styles and trends on the market now. Summer is a time to explore new things and take risks, and why not start this with your wardrobe?
