22 Oct 2017 Step out of your closet comfort zone

by Georgie McCarthy

This month, I’ve decided to challenge myself and to face my fashion fears! I might not normally have the confidence to show a little more skin, wear some gorgeous colored sunnies and some oh-so-rocker boots, but today I’m ignoring all my insecurities.  

The outfit I chose for this featured a couple out-of-my-comfort-zone elements. I thought I might feel a little self-conscious wearing this, but instead I felt quite the opposite. Wearing this gorgeous outfit has surprisingly made me feel more empowered. The V-neck dress made me feel pretty and feminine, and the sunglasses were so cool.

After rocking this gorgeous outfit, I decided you guys should try to think outside your comfort zone, too, to see how liberated and amazing you may feel. I’ve included some ways you can try something new when it comes to your wardrobe.  

Show a little more skin

Of course, I’m not talking about walking around in a bikini top and short-shorts, but if you are at all self-conscious about any parts of your body, I challenge you to show a little more skin than you usually do, while the weather is still warm. Let go of some of those worries that hold you back when it comes to your outfits, and you might start to feel a sense of freedom and acceptance of your body. 

Maybe you hate your arms or don’t like to show too much leg. In my case, I almost always avoid V-necks. If you find a piece that you really love, but worry about showing too much skin, just give it a go! 

Wear a new color

An awesome and pretty easy way to step out of your comfort zone, when it comes to style, is to try a color you normally avoid. Who knows, you might find a new favorite color to wear, and your friends and family might notice your outfit more. 

These sunglasses are not normally a shade I’d choose to wear, but they add that unexpected and gorgeous pop of color to this already colorful look.

Try a different style

If you’re normally a boho girl, try a structured piece for a change. If you’re style is more grunge, try a little pop of pink or a dainty frill. Try something a little unexpected, and you might merit yourself a little more attention than normal, in a good way! 

To try out a style I don’t normally rock, I opted for these amazingly hardcore boots. They may be a little more rock-and-roll than I usually go for, but I’ve completely fallen in love with them.

They add that little touch of rock-and-roll to any outfit, and contrast this floral girly dress perfectly.  

So, next time you go to throw on your favorite jeans and your go-to tee, try something a little out of your comfort zone for once. Show a little more leg, wear a color you wouldn’t normally choose or try that new style you’ve always secretly wanted to give a go.   

I appreciate you all so much! If you’d like to see more of my face, you can follow me on Instagram at @georgiemac3 or on my blog, thestyletransplant.com.
