some people hate my style, and i don’t care

In this episode, Emma Chamberlain discusses her journey to developing confidence in her personal style and not caring about others' opinions. She shares that in high school, she dressed like everyone else to fit in, but later realized that in the real world, there's more variation and less judgment. Emma outlines key factors that contribute to her current mindset, including trusting her taste through continuous learning and experimentation, dressing for her own satisfaction and self-expression rather than seeking external validation, viewing fashion as a joyful hobby, not trying to fit into any particular group, acknowledging that not everyone will like her style (just as she doesn't like everyone else's), recognizing that a strong negative reaction can indicate uniqueness, and understanding that fashion is subjective with no defined right or wrong. She emphasizes that personal style should be a tool for self-expression and encourages listeners to wear whatever makes them feel good, while also noting that it's okay if criticism is sometimes valid in retrospect as taste evolves.
