Being a fashionista is very interesting. You can explore new things through clothes. You can create art and you can also put your personality and feelings in your style of clothing. It is truly a very artistic and creative way to show your talent. But being a fashionista in our country, the Philippines is kind of hard.

Whenever I go outside all dressed up, I can feel all the eyes on me, not in the way that would make me feel confident, but the way that I would feel scared and judged. Our countrymen are not used to seeing new fashion. They think that if a person is dressed up very nice, they are overdressed. This is why a lot of Filipino fashionistas can’t show their style and talents because there are a lot of judgmental people.

Regardless of how confident a person is, being around a lot of judgmental people may damagetheir confidence. Put an end to this, folks. It’s time for Filipinos to express their uniquenesswithout worrying about being criticized for it.
