What makes your style stand out?

I only aspire to be the best version of myself, not anybody else, so my style speaks to who I am and what I’m building for myself, and as they say, there’s only one of you, so me being original, myself, fearless and hold makes me stand out because I put the same energy into my outfits

What’s your dream fashion moment?
