8 tips for developing personal style when you have none
I have never considered myself “fashionable.” Growing up, I had the tomboy thing down and wore jeans and t-shirts through high school. Every so often I would get the urge to “dress cuter” and swear not to acquire any more free unisex t-shirts, and wear a skirt here and there. But inevitably I ran out of outfits to wear and reverted back to the same jeans-and-t-shirt look, not because it was more “me” but out of habit and because it was easy. Then, I decided this was the year that I would finally dress the way I really want to, as part of my quest to figure out what being an adult really means to me. After a few months of going through my closet, lots of online searching, and one exhausting trip to the mall, I am starting to get a wardrobe I really like and figured I could share some tips for those of you who also didn’t just figure this stuff out at puberty.

It might not be a sweater at all; it could be sweatpants, a hopelessly faded t-shirt, or jeans so old and worn it’s like they were molded for your ass. I think it’s time we celebrated this much-maligned garment.
Ok yes fine, I got a haircut: on ditching your signature style
After I off-handedly changed my Gravatar over the weekend, several Offbeat Empire commenters asked if and why I cut off the pink-tips off my hair recently. As one said, “I guess this is the kind of staff gossip we want.”
These days, I mostly my personal life private, but heck: it was sort of a weird thing to cut off the pink tips that have defined my head for the last seven years, so fine: let’s talk about it.

Turn a sock into a scarf for your cold little doggy
My California dogs aren’t used to cold weather. On a road trip through some pretty cold weather, I improvised with a scarf for my big dog, Jackson, but I had nothing for my little one. So when my Jackson ate one of my knee high socks, I took the remaining sock and made an infinity scarf for a my little dog.
And if I can do it, so can you!
