My style evolution 😎 My intent with this video is not to bash my old outfits, my 2019 fits were top tier lol. It is simply to show how my self image evolved with each phase :) 2018 - rainbow boi phase - 0:40 2019 - edgy baggy phase - 2:53 2020 - feeling fem - 4:40 2021 - timeless fashion - 5:23 Haircut phase - 6:28
I love it! 2020 kinda brought me to also have more of a capsule "minimalistic" closet, and I love it, also have been doing way more thrifting, so definitely have been inspired. Pretty pls make more videos on how to thrift the perfect peices, and actually putting stuff together❤ keep being a chingona!
Please do a video wherein you give us a breakdown and guidelines on how to assemble a timeless capsule wardrobe. Your tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated 😊
Actually i like the old style as much as the new style. Both are authentic because they reflect the personality of the time. Her style changed because her personality changed too. Now she's a more mature person, but it's still cool.
I think we should normalize dressing how we feel for each day, everyone always tries to pick a style and stay with it 24/7, some days I wana dress more "masculine", some days more "feminine", some days more baggy or sporty, one day more dressy, they're all me, just different moods!
Honestly very well put. We box ours in way too much for no reason 😂😂 wear the dress or wear the cargo shorts or both no one should care that much! You just do you hun!
I don't doubt billie liked your post purposefully, and was maybe looking for style like yours, because her style until recently was very similar to that 'tomboy era'. don't undervalue yourself ♡
dude, but you were ahead of the game with those looks. i used to avoid shorts, skirts, v-necks because of my curves. i'm almost 30 and finally realize that i look good and i shouldn't have to "hide" my body. i'm still covering a lot (grew up with the "modest is hottest" burned into my head), but i still get "the looks" 👀 definitely looking for well-made, staple pieces to define my style.
My thing is that I currently feel content, probably because I’ve had the same style since high school. I feel confident, but I feel like I’ll be even more confident if I develop a new style. On another note, I’m so glad that you’ve grown and you’ve found your confidence!
@@PennyTovar hello ,penny oh my Jesus ! I can relate to you in so much I think we had the same struggles but I just wanted to say ur videos have been very helpful and ur funny too ! So u go girl!! ...but Can I ask what r your pet peeves?
Yo, thanks for talking about the whole, "Being afraid to be feminine" thing, of course your story is a bit different than mine, but over the last year I really decided that I wanted to wear dresses and skirts more often, because there's nothing wrong with it! It's just what I like, and so what if they aren't figure hugging and short, I feel most comfortable in a long flowy dress/skirt because a) I think it just looks good on me, b) I don't have to constantly worry about bending over and showing everyting, and c) I can still do yard work yo! I have found that for me, putting a little more effort into actually putting together an outfit is not as uncomfortable or time consuming as I thought it would be. Long story longer, thanks for sharing!
I have absolutely loved all of your style phases. You've looked incredible every step of the way. But I absolutely love what your style has evolved into now, solely because you are so much more confident in your own skin and that looks good on everyone.
Your old style gave me confidence to be content in who I am, without feeling the need to conform to today's beauty standards. I really appreciated seeing that.
Ive always felt uncomfortable with feminine clothes like dresses and heels. But also very afraid to wear masculine pieces, because of the stereotype that all gay women dress like men. But the way i have learned to not be afraid is to find the sweet spot for me, by wearing both traditionally masculine and feminine pieces. And playing around with makeup, but also to anyone reading this, just because you feel comfortable and confident in “mens” clothing doesn’t mean you aren’t a women. Mixing both is the way I express my femininity!
Thank you so much for this post.:) I’m in a space now where most times I’m wearing tomboy, masculine however one wishes to put it most often. But I still do like the feminine side as well and bringing both those ideas together. I’m reminding myself as a person I can wear whatever style. We don’t have to stick to one aesthetic. Trying to learn to let go of stereotypes and judgments of others. And it’s okay to try things out, you aren’t bound by the stereotypes. This is our lives! Let’s live it!🥰
Don't be too hard on your 22 y.o. self! At the time, you thought that was the best for you and honestly you seemed happy. I've been watching you since 2018 and I enjoyed seeing you develop into what you are today. 5 years from now, maybe your style will be so different that you'll make another video like this. Luv u ❤
I honestly loved your rainbow baggy boy phase, it was so cool and unique to you. If it is something you still love, you can mix it with the vibe that you are going for today. Also the femininity, I don't believe in quitting one thing just to stick to a style. There are ways that you can think about to blend everything together inna cohesive way. At least that's what I've done and I am happy with the results.
It's crazy because I always felt like I had equal amount of masculine and feminine energy but only "embraced" the fem side and along with this timeline, I learned to embrace both and all because I follow you!! Ily :,)
as a fellow 2018 rainbow boi phase girl, I FELT this. It's been amazing seeing your style evolve parallel to your content & mental health :) excited to see where your fashion inspo takes you next!
I’m so proud of you. I didn’t realize how uncomfortable with my body until I look at old pictures of myself and how I dressed. It didn’t help with my confidence at all and I had no idea how to even learn how to dress the way I wanted to. Thankfully I finally figured it out and the past year I have been in the most confident and comfortable with myself.
i started watching you in 2019 and at the time all i wanted was to dress like you. i followed so so many accounts with that style. now i want more of a mature, simplistic style. it feels like we’re going through it together 😭😂
The moment you posted your vlog about cutting your hair. I always kept saying to myself how you were truly being your true authentic self. I’m very proud of you Penny, can’t wait to see what phase you’ll be in next. And personal opinion your current fashion style is my personal favorite of yours
i can’t imagine how damaging the internalized misogyny was to deal with as a child. it’s insane how toxic a church can be because that’s where we go for spirituality
I love the progression of your style. It's so refreshing to see online how your style progresses through your life changes and personal identity unlike the other style progression of other influencers solely hopping on every microtrend there is.
This came just right on time. I'm in the middle of finding my style, having that weird relationship with fashion, trying to be the most comfortable I can be and this helped a lot ❤️
I met you on your old style and totally loved it. I love your new style as well. The thing is that you've always dressed just as you felt like it. That's empowering. Love from México and sorry from my english hsjs.
What you said about becoming confident both with your masculinity and your femininity definitely resonates. Goals! I liked seeing the transformation and enjoyed all the looks you showed. 💞
I’m 55 and have been watching you for years. Style, who you are as a person, and how you choose to express yourself is ever evolving. I have had so very many phases in my life and expect that won’t change. Stay true to yourself!
I've been trying to be more girly since i lost weight.. Before that i was dressing boyish and baggy to see less of myself ...but I got a lot of comments about that i was just trying to show off my body or trying to hard in general Confident and comfortable is all that matters. You really have taught me a lot tbh like thank you
All I will say is that every style evolution that you have had has been a style icon for me I love every single aspect of it and I incorporate it all into my life. Because I’m a little bit of all of it
So happy for you Penny!! I love this new look and your evolution not only outside but inside! I’m sorry you had to go through religious trauma. As a Christian, it hurts to see you go through that. You are so beautiful ❤️ sending love and positivity to you
It's okay to have different styles over time and accept your stylistic choices! Your journey is interesting and how your tied it to your mental health. Thank you for sharing this with us :)
Honestly, you seem very self aware and it shows; you've grown so much and I think confidence comes from that, too. That's what youth is for, not to have it all figured out :) Love seeing you shine, Penny!
I am 16 years old going on 17 anytime I’m I get self conscious about my femininity or masculinity I always come back to this one video I love it so much and I could literally listen to you fashion journey story on repeat to help me gain more and more confidence. Thank you am for being such a role model you are super dope and I love your eyebrows(random lol)🥰
I’m so proud of you penny!! I saw a video a while back where you try on tight clothes and had a feeling you struggled with embracing your femininity. I grew up with brothers and it also took me a while to find my feminine style. Today I literally wear any style feminine or masculine and everyone compliments my outfits. Thank you for making this video for all the young girls out there with the same struggle!
Hey Penny! Thanks for this video. I’ve also dealt with feeling strange in clothes. So much so that in high-school I dealt with body dysphoria and thought I was trans for a while. I cut my hair, changed my name amongst friends, wore baggy clothes, etc., but then I graduated. I took a long hard look at myself and realized this wasn’t me. I still deal with feeling uncomfortable in certain clothes. I like feminine clothes but whenever I put on an outfit I find cute, I can acknowledge I look good but it feels like a “performance.” I feel like someone playing dress up or like I’m cosplaying. I’m trying to build a sustainable wardrobe like you and instead of keeping my hair short, I’m growing it out. I still feel weird in dresses and heels but I feel a lot better and more confident in myself than I did three years ago. ⭐️❤️
I'm so proud of you. I have been a subscriber and a supporter since 2018 when I was a middle schooler. I wasn't doing so good either, I was being bullied very harshly and that made me feel very insecure for being a bigger girl. And watching you grow all these years has made me so happy and proud of you and hopefully one day I could do the same. I still feel insecure and now I'm in 11th grade but hopefully, I could embrace my femininity as well. Love you penny ❤
I am 7.5 months pregnant now and I haven't had a haircut for over 1.5 years(I know, disgusting and disturbing). However, when I saw your cropped haircut, I'd love to try something similar as soon as I give birth and donate my hair. Thanks for always being an inspiration, penny 🥰😘
I love the confidence you show, I love how you try new things you like without losing your essence! I love you Penny and I’ve followed you since 2018 and I’ve seen how much you progressed emotionally and professionally! You’re an inspiration ❤️✨ I’ve been a “not girly” girl since I was a kid but thought it was wrong, ever since I met you, I found out it’s not wrong at all ❤️ you’re a superstar!!!! ✨💜
This was an interesting video. As a fashion enthusiast I can appreciate going through your past looks, and connecting them with personal growth. I don’t have any drastic changes to my style. My entire 20’s I wore sun dresses, fashionable glasses, statement bags, and athleisure wear. The only change happened during the pandemic when I had the drastic change of not wearing jeans anymore and seeking to prioritize comfort in all of my clothing choices. So I stopped wearing heels, bras, and jeans in my late 20’s. In my 30’s I’m embracing wearing statement business suits with comfortable point toe loafers. Other than that I still rock maxi dresses in all four seasons. I’ve become drawn to puffer coats instead of faux fur coats. However I’ve always been a trench coat and riding boots type of girl in the fall. I’d say that my style has always been timeless whether I’m rocking kimonos, cami dresses, or sweater dresses.
SHE IS BEAUTY SHE IS GRACE!!! I admired every part of your fashion evolution and I think every part reflected you very well at the time, Im finding myself in the same fashion predicament each year. Much love to you and thank your for sharing your journey.🥰💗
my style in 2018-19 was a lot more masculine and I took some inspiration from your fits. I always wanted to dress feminine but I was approaching it from "will this make a man want me?" During the pandemic I realized I had the chance to consciously leave my 2019 style behind and start over. There was no one to dress up for except myself so I allowed myself to experiment with different styles to find what makes me happy.
Girl you’ve got style! You had style then and you have it now. I love the way of dressing you used to do, the colour choices are so good! I really relate to not wanting to be dressing super feminine and the safety in dressing more masc/covered up. It’s interesting how style can reflect how we feel in so many different ways. I’ve had similar extreme phases with being either hyper fem or really masc and now i have really happy balance and playful mix of the two 😊 love seeing you become more confident too!!
For me confidence is when i wear what i want and what i like not waiting for others to like or hate it... fashion is just a business for money, no one should shame others because of their body, their colour or their clothing.... and that is my dream of a wonderful world. Between, i liked all your clothings without exception!
anyone thinking it's kinda ironic she mentioned billie and they're kind of having similar self live and growth parallels? from baggy to experimental femininity, probably for the same reasons 😳
I LOOOOOVED your new look and outfits! They’re 10/10 I myself love fashion and I do think too that it’s a way to show how you grow and I loved you mention that
All your styles are amazing, everything looks so good on you, I'm so happy you're feeling more confident and you went through that healing journey, your confidence is really showing and we love to see it 💜💜💜💜
Happy for you Penny! It's been fun to see you evolve and grow into different styles! I keep coming back to your videos not just to see that, but because of who you are and you're great personality!
I'm glad you talked about feeling comfortable in both your masculinity and femininity! This something I'm trying to figure out as a 30-something year old. It's like, on one hand, I want to be fashionably consistent, but on the other hand, I have these two completely different fashion feelings, so I'm working on finding the commonality between them. I like flannel shirts, and I like cute, soft looks, but as it turns out, flannel shirts look pretty bomb with a long pleated skirt. The perfect combo of "I will build a log cabin and survive in the woods, but I will also put my axe down by the door and finish this apple pie while I sing to the birds."
I always loved how unique and daring Penny's fashion was. She never tried to blend in to the crowd or avoid attention. I loved how bright and colorful the outfits were. It's kinda sad she views that as less mature because the older I get the more I want to enjoy being young and being able to wear so called "childish" things
I relate so much to what you went through with feminity and religion my father did the same to me. and throughout my childhood, I was never allowed to enjoy being a girly girl and all of that, so I grew up super hateful towards feminity I used to wear all black from head to toe every day during my adolescence. I'm glad I came out of it and learned a lot about who I truly am and how to express myself and be authentic .
rainbow boi phase was when i first found your content! seeing another person who identifies as a woman embrace the baggy and colorful "boy clothes" was so cool.
I have so much respect and love for you Penny .. You are unique and beautiful. Your energy and self-respect LITERALLY make me wanna love myself too .. Thank you for everything ❤
So happy for you penny!! You’re light always shines so bright and I’m happy you finally are at a comfortable phase with your style and also mind! Much love. Xoxo
I am so happy for you penny!! It's crazy now that you share more details about the background of everything I'm surprised to see how many similarities we share in our story. For the longest time I have not felt confortable in my femininity and also I have grown up in a religious cult where we were taught tons of really weard things. Anyways, I experienced a lot of healing even though sometimes I this struggle a bit with the femininity stuff. But a Loooot has changed! Thank god, jesus is no religious cult. So because I know this struggle and also the healing journey I can relate to your story very much and I feel so happy for you! I wish you all the best! (sorry english isn't my first language, in case there's mistakes)
Girl, thank you for this video, I totally relate and am somewhere in the edgy boi phase for THE EXACT SAME REASONS. I actually am quite aware that I'm in it already, half a year ago I would still say I'm comfy and bla bla, but really, I'm just healing, my masculine and my feminine and I enjoy having less eyes on me at this time. Until I'll feel comfortable enough to embody all of my parts and take up that soace. ✨🌷
Thank you so much for sharing your process. I feel like I was going through the same thing but with gender norms and what society wants women to look like and I was taking it to an extreme and it wasn't really me. I still learned a lot from the process and I'm listening to myself more ✌

Girl your style is beautiful in each phase! I love it !
I love it! 2020 kinda brought me to also have more of a capsule "minimalistic" closet, and I love it, also have been doing way more thrifting, so definitely have been inspired. Pretty pls make more videos on how to thrift the perfect peices, and actually putting stuff together❤ keep being a chingona!
Hey penny
Can you please try out the Phil Smith curly locks curl cream next?
Please do a video wherein you give us a breakdown and guidelines on how to assemble a timeless capsule wardrobe. Your tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated 😊
Actually i like the old style as much as the new style. Both are authentic because they reflect the personality of the time. Her style changed because her personality changed too. Now she's a more mature person, but it's still cool.
Yes!this! The evolution of her style is golden 😂😂
my thoughts exactly and its okay to go between the two
I think we should normalize dressing how we feel for each day, everyone always tries to pick a style and stay with it 24/7, some days I wana dress more "masculine", some days more "feminine", some days more baggy or sporty, one day more dressy, they're all me, just different moods!

Honestly very well put. We box ours in way too much for no reason 😂😂 wear the dress or wear the cargo shorts or both no one should care that much! You just do you hun!
Girl don’t even sleep on yourself like that, you were the shit
Facts !
Wdym?

I remember the rainbow boi phase and i still like it. Back then you inspired me a lot to experiment with a more masculine look
I actually want to experiment with a more refined masculine look! Def wanna experiment with more androgynous fashion
Same!
Same i recently cut my hair short as well and love the androgynous look
"now i find myself being 100% comfortable in my femininity AND my masculinity"
babe, you ate in every era. and you're still eating 🤪
she is! she could wear a paper bag and still be snatched

I would say look at the current pieces that make you feel the BEST. Analyze the color, texture, fit, cut, and aesthetic. And try to build on that!
@@PennyTovar Thank you for the advice, I’ll definitely try that!

I just prefer feminine style on my part
samee here i try to dress and act feminine so i don’t have to be that typical lesbi but now im trying to dress more androgynous to stop hiding
I can't afford fashion, but when I can it's over for the girlies.
Most of my clothing is thrifted, my fav jeans cost $10 :)
The tomboy phase will never leave. It helps with being able to move thru the gendered norms. I love it, you grew so much! Continue to mix it all up! 💕

Don't despise your younger self/style, it was cool! We're all evolving, and one day you'll look back at those early pics with nostalgic affection.

This came just right on time. I'm in the middle of finding my style, having that weird relationship with fashion, trying to be the most comfortable I can be and this helped a lot ❤️
I'm currently transitioning my life and trying to get used to wearing what makes me just comfortable. This video is perfecttttly timed ✨.
Love the duality of your feminine and masculine side. Such an important message for people to hear. You are amazing! 🤩🥳
I met you on your old style and totally loved it. I love your new style as well. The thing is that you've always dressed just as you felt like it. That's empowering. Love from México and sorry from my english hsjs.
I like how penny dressed more masculine when she had long hair but when she cut it she dressed more feminine, but she still pulled off both styles ♡
Penny, you look amazing, and you’ve always rocked your own style. I’m very glad that you’re feeling more comfortable in your own skin. It shows.

Salem and Penny uploading on the same day is the universe trying to tell me that everything is ok
I looove sliding between feminine and masculine looks and especially looking a little androgynous.
I've always liked your style because it's very authentic! You always look like you and no one else, and I love how it has changed 😍
It's okay to have different styles over time and accept your stylistic choices! Your journey is interesting and how your tied it to your mental health. Thank you for sharing this with us :)

I still feel insecure and now I'm in 11th grade but hopefully, I could embrace my femininity as well. Love you penny

Please do a video of “must have” pieces of clothing for a capsule wardrobe ❤️❤️
Yeah Penny. Rainbow era was really cool. It wasn't trash girl. I actually wear those outfits and I'm your same age and I really love it 😍
I am 7.5 months pregnant now and I haven't had a haircut for over 1.5 years(I know, disgusting and disturbing). However, when I saw your cropped haircut, I'd love to try something similar as soon as I give birth and donate my hair. Thanks for always being an inspiration, penny 🥰😘
I love the confidence you show, I love how you try new things you like without losing your essence! I love you Penny and I’ve followed you since 2018 and I’ve seen how much you progressed emotionally and professionally! You’re an inspiration ❤️✨
I’ve been a “not girly” girl since I was a kid but thought it was wrong, ever since I met you, I found out it’s not wrong at all ❤️ you’re a superstar!!!! ✨💜
This was an interesting video. As a fashion enthusiast I can appreciate going through your past looks, and connecting them with personal growth. I don’t have any drastic changes to my style. My entire 20’s I wore sun dresses, fashionable glasses, statement bags, and athleisure wear. The only change happened during the pandemic when I had the drastic change of not wearing jeans anymore and seeking to prioritize comfort in all of my clothing choices. So I stopped wearing heels, bras, and jeans in my late 20’s. In my 30’s I’m embracing wearing statement business suits with comfortable point toe loafers. Other than that I still rock maxi dresses in all four seasons. I’ve become drawn to puffer coats instead of faux fur coats. However I’ve always been a trench coat and riding boots type of girl in the fall. I’d say that my style has always been timeless whether I’m rocking kimonos, cami dresses, or sweater dresses.
I'm actually so proud of you. It really shows that you're confortable with yourself
SHE IS BEAUTY SHE IS GRACE!!! I admired every part of your fashion evolution and I think every part reflected you very well at the time, Im finding myself in the same fashion predicament each year. Much love to you and thank your for sharing your journey.🥰💗
It’s so cool to see your fashion evolution:) I can see how each year influenced the next. Nice!
I love your videos!!!!
my style in 2018-19 was a lot more masculine and I took some inspiration from your fits. I always wanted to dress feminine but I was approaching it from "will this make a man want me?" During the pandemic I realized I had the chance to consciously leave my 2019 style behind and start over. There was no one to dress up for except myself so I allowed myself to experiment with different styles to find what makes me happy.
Yo, all your fashion was a look. I think you looked fantastic the whole time, all of it and even now. You're indeed a style icon imo. 👌👏
I can’t believe I’ve been subscribed this long to see the evolution. I love that !
Girl you’ve got style! You had style then and you have it now. I love the way of dressing you used to do, the colour choices are so good! I really relate to not wanting to be dressing super feminine and the safety in dressing more masc/covered up. It’s interesting how style can reflect how we feel in so many different ways. I’ve had similar extreme phases with being either hyper fem or really masc and now i have really happy balance and playful mix of the two 😊 love seeing you become more confident too!!
everything is about it's time and these were amazing for the time
You're such an icon. Every season was incredible
You're still a QUEEN no matter what you put on your body😘
For me confidence is when i wear what i want and what i like not waiting for others to like or hate it... fashion is just a business for money, no one should shame others because of their body, their colour or their clothing.... and that is my dream of a wonderful world.
Between, i liked all your clothings without exception!
I miss your acne content ! It helped me so much
anyone thinking it's kinda ironic she mentioned billie and they're kind of having similar self live and growth parallels? from baggy to experimental femininity, probably for the same reasons 😳
I have been following Billie for four years. And our paths are VERY similar! She even cut her hair a few days after my haircut! She my soul sister 🥺
Penny, you were crushing it and still are. You rock whatever you wear. You're an icon.
I LOOOOOVED your new look and outfits! They’re 10/10 I myself love fashion and I do think too that it’s a way to show how you grow and I loved you mention that
All your styles are amazing, everything looks so good on you, I'm so happy you're feeling more confident and you went through that healing journey, your confidence is really showing and we love to see it 💜💜💜💜
Penny's videos have always made me feel validated in my feelings but i think this one has probably been the most validating one I've seen
Happy for you Penny! It's been fun to see you evolve and grow into different styles! I keep coming back to your videos not just to see that, but because of who you are and you're great personality!
I'm glad you talked about feeling comfortable in both your masculinity and femininity! This something I'm trying to figure out as a 30-something year old. It's like, on one hand, I want to be fashionably consistent, but on the other hand, I have these two completely different fashion feelings, so I'm working on finding the commonality between them. I like flannel shirts, and I like cute, soft looks, but as it turns out, flannel shirts look pretty bomb with a long pleated skirt. The perfect combo of "I will build a log cabin and survive in the woods, but I will also put my axe down by the door and finish this apple pie while I sing to the birds."
Also, please do an update make up and or skincare routine! Loving this new red lip and smokey eye you’ve been rockin recently. 💖💖💖
Your style back then and now, I really love!!!! Ain’t no shame in your drip game!!!!! ❤️
I always loved how unique and daring Penny's fashion was. She never tried to blend in to the crowd or avoid attention. I loved how bright and colorful the outfits were. It's kinda sad she views that as less mature because the older I get the more I want to enjoy being young and being able to wear so called "childish" things
Thank you! It's not so much that I view my old style as immature, it's my mindset. The mindset I had was carrying a lot of emotional baggage.
it's been a while since i watched Penny's vids and I'm so so so sooooooooooo happy to see that Penny is feeling so happy and confident!!!!
I relate so much to what you went through with feminity and religion my father did the same to me. and throughout my childhood, I was never allowed to enjoy being a girly girl and all of that, so I grew up super hateful towards feminity I used to wear all black from head to toe every day during my adolescence. I'm glad I came out of it and learned a lot about who I truly am and how to express myself and be authentic .
rainbow boi phase was when i first found your content! seeing another person who identifies as a woman embrace the baggy and colorful "boy clothes" was so cool.
You're style was and is 🔥🔥🔥!
I have so much respect and love for you Penny .. You are unique and beautiful.
Your energy and self-respect LITERALLY make me wanna love myself too .. Thank you for everything ❤
Your old style was dope too! i hope you keep that edginess that made you so unique and authentic.
I love to see how comfortable you are with yourself now☺️
So happy for you penny!! You’re light always shines so bright and I’m happy you finally are at a comfortable phase with your style and also mind! Much love. Xoxo
I love you so much Penny! You are an amazing human being!
Would love to see an entire video about your capsule wardrobe! Great video❤
Penny, your style has always been poppinnn
I'm so proud of your growth Penny
I am so happy for you penny!! It's crazy now that you share more details about the background of everything I'm surprised to see how many similarities we share in our story. For the longest time I have not felt confortable in my femininity and also I have grown up in a religious cult where we were taught tons of really weard things. Anyways, I experienced a lot of healing even though sometimes I this struggle a bit with the femininity stuff. But a Loooot has changed! Thank god, jesus is no religious cult. So because I know this struggle and also the healing journey I can relate to your story very much and I feel so happy for you! I wish you all the best! (sorry english isn't my first language, in case there's mistakes)
You are the most wholesome thing on the internet.
Girl, thank you for this video, I totally relate and am somewhere in the edgy boi phase for THE EXACT SAME REASONS. I actually am quite aware that I'm in it already, half a year ago I would still say I'm comfy and bla bla, but really, I'm just healing, my masculine and my feminine and I enjoy having less eyes on me at this time. Until I'll feel comfortable enough to embody all of my parts and take up that soace. ✨🌷
I want you to know that I started following you on instagram BECAUSE of your 2018 style. You're gorgeous.
I just need to tell you again that your haircut is absolutely stunning on you. You're sparkling gurl✨✨
Thank you so much for sharing your process. I feel like I was going through the same thing but with gender norms and what society wants women to look like and I was taking it to an extreme and it wasn't really me. I still learned a lot from the process and I'm listening to myself more ✌
I freakin LOVE your style! If I had the boldness and confidence like you did, I’d wear every single one of those outfits!
