starting over before beginning

Is it possible to know one's self fully? We're always changing. Every moment is different from the last. And every person is different from one another. The point is we're constantly evolving. Some change quickly while others take years.

It's been more than a year since the first post I made and I haven't made any sense, none that counted. In that time frame, I have struggled to figure out who I am, what this blog was really about and how I should best approach my whole take on personal style. At the time, I daren't post anything because I was not confident, in what I felt about my body or about the styles I liked. I was never sure if it was really who I am. I didn't want to go through the motions and I I felt there was nothing to share since I am not in a place in my life where I feel I could create any interest.

Still despite the lack of posts, I have been growing and moving and am starting to get a good feel about who I am (at least for this moment. I can never say if one style or another will continue to stay with me.) I realized I can be a pretty complicated person (I promise it's not on purpose.) However, in contrast, at this time, I find I don't want to be fettered with fussy clothing...that is not unless I choose to.

For a while I have considered myself a mood dresser so my tastes change with the wind. But overall I've grown to like simple and clean styles.

The tough part is...finding out how I will be able to pull those things off in my own special way.

...a veritable jungle.

If you've managed to stumble upon this modest and mostly empty blog, then I'm glad you came.

I'm Amber and I have decided to start a blog sharing my adventure to developing a sense of personal style. Although my intention for this blog was mostly personal, if anyone out there can get something out of what I write, then I am glad it could be of some benefit. (And of course, any advice coming my way would be most welcome and appreciated.)

As a person I'm grossly indecisive but I have many different interests. (I can get scatter-brained and overwhelmed at times, but hopefully that won't spill out onto the internet.) I'm not a person to take risks, but having created this blog, I just made a big one. I've been an introvert most of my life, so putting myself out there like this is a big scary step but that's also a major aspect of why I did this: to gain more confidence. I've never blogged publicly for fear of going ignored, but I figure if I just use the blog as intended, it'll all be cool.

Anyway, hey to everybody out there.
Despite my title of the blog, I don't bite.
