Playing Dress Up

So I get a little too excited about dressing up for a 20-year-old.

But, honestly, it is so much fun.

Tbh, I have been planning and working on this year's Halloween costume for at least a month.

And I am so psyched about it.

I've always gone all out for dressing up.

Whether it's Nerd Day at school

Or being Vanellope Von Schweetz for Halloween

Or dressing up all 40's style for Comic Con

I love dressing up.

And I don't know about you, but dressing up as something else really transforms how I feel.

I get to explore a different side of myself.

For Nerd Day, I got to really ham up my nerdy side.

As Vanellope, I was extra sassy and sweet.

And as Captain America's USO girl, I felt glamorous.

When you allow yourself to believe you are one thing, that's how you act.

Sometimes even the smallest changes can have a big effect on how we feel and behave.

So you know what I say?

I say put on that lipstick and be that ultimate confident girl.

I say wear that dramatic long coat and let the wind whip it behind you.

I say slip on those huge sparkly earrings and treat the sidewalk like your red carpet.

I say give yourself extra boosts to help you feel confident.

Dress up.

Go out.

Embrace your nerdy side, or your sassy side, or your glamorous side.

You never know.

Hopefully one day you can feel that way no matter what you're wearing.
