Beauty, Fashion, and Accessories: How They Shape the Way We Express Ourselves

Okay, real talk, beauty, fashion, and accessories aren’t just random extras we throw money at. They’re honestly how I express myself without having to explain myself. Like, I’ve got this lipstick I swear I’ll never get rid of. I try new shades, but somehow I always end up back with that one. It’s basically my mood booster in a tube.

And my sneakers? Yeah, they’re beat up, but they’re mine. People can keep their shiny, fresh-out-of-the-box pairs, I’ll take the ones that feel like they’ve lived life with me. Oh, and the necklace I never take off? Don’t even ask me to. It feels weird not having it on, like I left part of myself at home.

Beauty: It’s a Whole Mood

People always think “beauty = makeup.” But nah, it’s more than that. Don’t get me wrong, I love makeup (when my eyeliner actually matches, it’s basically a personal holiday). But beauty is also skincare, self-care, the way you carry yourself.

You know that feeling when your skin actually cooperates and you don’t even need makeup? That’s power. And don’t get me started on perfume. The right one sticks to you like an identity. You walk past someone, and they’re like, “yep, that’s her.”

Trends? Fun, but whatever. Glass skin, clean-girl, bold liners, they come, they go. Feeling good in your own skin? That sticks.

Fashion: Clothes Do Talk

Fashion is lowkey one of the loudest languages we speak. Some people shout with prints, some whisper with neutrals. I kinda bounce between both depending on the day.

High-waisted jeans? My ride-or-die. Comfortable but still makes me look like I tried. A leather jacket? My instant “don’t mess with me” energy. And what’s crazy is clothes carry memories. Like, I’ll pull out a hoodie and boom, I’m right back in whatever season I wore it nonstop. Fashion is basically a scrapbook you wear on your body.

Accessories: The Secret Weapon

Listen, accessories are underrated. You can wear the plainest outfit, and if you add hoops, a belt, or even a cool watch, it’s a look.

But accessories aren’t just “style,” they’re stories. I’ve got Religious Rings from my grandma that I wear all the time; no fancy brand could replace them. I saved forever for this one bag, and every time I carry it, I remember how badly I wanted it. And sunglasses? Let’s be real, half the time I wear them it’s not because of the sun, it’s because I don’t want to deal with people.

When It All Clicks

The magic is when beauty, fashion, and accessories vibe together. Like, a red lip with an all-black fit and chunky gold jewelry? Chef’s kiss. Or soft makeup, pastel clothes, and delicate silver chains? Feels like spring in outfit form. That’s when you don’t just look good, you feel right.

Why It’s Not “Shallow”

People love to roll their eyes and call this stuff shallow, but honestly? They’re wrong. This is identity. It’s mood. It’s confidence. Some days I want to be bold, some days I just want to disappear into an oversized hoodie. Both versions are valid, both are me.

It’s not about impressing strangers. It’s about walking into the world the way I want to.

Final Thoughts

So, yeah, beauty, fashion, and accessories matter. Not because they’re expensive or “on trend,” but because they’re little extensions of who we are. Trends will come and go, but the style you claim for yourself? That sticks.

It’s not vanity. It’s not surface-level. It’s me showing up as… me.
