Frozen Obsession

So a lot of people don't understand my obsession with Frozen, so I thought I would explain. WARNING. Really long explanation.



My sister and I really relate to the characters in the story. Now I don't have secret ice powers or anything, but for a lot of my life I lived in fear and honestly didn't get to close to anyone to protect myself from being hurt. I struggle with and work really hard at being transparent and not disguising who I am with white lies. I've been working hard to wear everything on my sleeve, so when I am fully exposed I won't be ashamed. I don't let anyone close; it might seem like i do, but i don't normally. So if you are close it's a big deal. And I see these traits in Elsa, she hides things and never lets anyone close, she lies and hides her powers. Conceal, don't feel. But then she realizes letting go of those precious secrets will truly set her free. She doesn't have to live in fear anymore.



Also my sister and I have literally had almost the same exact relationship as Elsa and Anna. We used to be best friends when we were little, then we faded apart when I went to high school, until about a year and a half ago. I love Brianna with all my heart, and she's gone through a lot and I wasn't always there for her like I should've been. I spent a ton of time in my room whenever I was home, and now I'm constantly at work or school to avoid being home. But i realized by separating myself from that home environment, I was separating myself from her. Elsa was separated from her sister and she didn't know how to fix it. It tore her to pieces inside, it caused a storm inside that she could never escape. But once she reached a certain age, she realized that she might not be able to fix the problem, but she didn't have to hide to fix it. She became herself and realized being proud of who she was wasn't a wrong thing to do. She didn't have to hide who she was to get her parents acceptance, because that's who she was and they loved her no matter who she was.


I am terrified of never seeing my sister again, or not being there when she needs me. I love her so much, like more than words can ever describe. I've had people comment on us, and say they had no idea sisters were so loving towards one another, but it's because we missed so much time together and I'm terrified of her being gone from my life. I think Elsa and Anna feel the same way, maybe not for the same reasons, but a lot of our feelings are the same. So I'm sorry that we both post about it all the time, but that is why.

Maybe you don't want to be a model.


These women liked themselves but these photoshoots changed them into something they're not. Who do you want to be?

#OOTD: Numero Uno.


Alright, so I know this isn't necessarily a Selfiespect post saying something about myself but instead a fashion post.

I love clothes. I love the feeling I get when I wear cute clothes or make a great outfit or find a great deal while out shopping. Most of my clothes I get from relatively cheap places like Walmart, Target, or Debshops.

My Outfit:
Gray Beret, $5, Walmart
Eagle Necklace, $3.80, Forever21
Faux Leather Jacket with Fleece Sleeves, $40, Debshops
Red Plaid Studded Shirt, $15, Kmart
Black Jeggings, $13, Walmart
Boot Cuffs, $5 (Materials), Homemade :)
American Eagle Ugg Boots, $40, Payless Shoe Source

So as you can see all of these are the retail prices when I got them on sale so less than this even. I love the rebel, leather punk look. I love how independent and confident the wearer looks and feels. Some may think it might look grungy but as long as you wear a smile and not heavy dark makeup.

With this outfit the blacks and reds really accent each other. I think it honestly looks very crisp. With Christmas coming in the next few weeks the reds also go along with the Holiday season. The plaid kinda makes one look wider than they are but it accentuates your shoulders which adds to the confident look.

What types of styles do you like?
