I feel people get caught up in trying to be what they're not, trying to dress like who they are inspired by, dressing like a celebrity, getting caught up in the "designer", getting carried away.
Fashion is about expressing your personal style but also your inner self. Wearing fashion for fashion's sake is pointless. Wearing fashion should extend your personality and express the person people see standing in front of them. It is not always worth following the trends, emulating what is on the catwalk if it is not the person you truly are. People can tell you are not comfortable in what you are wearing if you are wearing items that aren't really "you".
I always tell women when I am doing personal styling consults that it is better just amping up a little, the person you are and what you feel comfortable wearing instead of trying to be something else which is not you and you will feel uncomfortable in and more importantly will buy and will not wear!
Fashion is about self expression so therefore embrace the person you are and let the world see YOU, the you that is the true you not a front of makeup and elaborate clothes with you trying to be someone you are not. Whether you're the bohemian boho chic, the girly girl, the laid-back casual, the polished sophisticated, the loud & out-there, the goth, the beach babe, the corporate.
Whoever you are, be true to your own sense of self and you will truly shine!
Sending my love across the world,
