As you know, I can relate to your scenario almost identically. Unfortunately, it's easy to be blind-sighted when it seems like everyone around you is criticizing (yet ironically copying). Just keep in mind that the people that are copying you, or criticizing you, or un-authentically trying to befriend you, do not matter. The people who do matter, including yourself, are the only people you should pay mind to. <br /><br />Can't wait to see you posting again. :) Also, here's to more collaborations!<br /><br />-BlakeBlake Jacobsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04802972519231838705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-81801726429644111592010-09-30T23:18:28.112-04:002010-09-30T23:18:28.112-04:00After following your blog, I think I have an idea ...After following your blog, I think I have an idea what Santa might bring you for Christmas -some socks!

You're a trendsetter!!! But I understand how you feel. It's hard for people to be themselves sometimes 'cause they're worried about how 'the real them' will be recieved by people (I know I've been there!! lol) you're lucky you're so comfortable in your own skin. <br />But I really 100% understand what it's like to have kids (and teachers!!! lol) from school reading your blog. That's what happened to me. It kinda feels like you have to filter what you post, you know? <br />Can't wait to hear your new mindset!!!<br />--- JenJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968615344327052791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-86828672875470290172010-09-27T22:40:59.265-04:002010-09-27T22:40:59.265-04:00Well, I love your outfit.

I WILL COPY IT AND I AM NOT ASHAMED! <br /><br />I think most people in high school have too low a self esteem or are too lazy to make an effort to dress. It is a sad time that Unfortunately lives on forever in our memories. <br /><br />Don't worry though- soon you will be in college where people are encouraged to express themselves. There is so much less judgement and much more celebrating our individuality and style. <br /><br /><br />Look forward to the conclusion of your hiatus.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466753365699282860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-80799940414221919162010-09-27T21:34:00.087-04:002010-09-27T21:34:00.087-04:00awh Lauren, I totally understand how you feel.

You look gorgeous...as for the way you've been feeling, I don't blame you, it happens to all of us once in a while. The important thing is that you stay true to yourself, just be you, the way you've always been. You are setting a trend, and people are following you now, which is pretty cool if you ask me. Don't find it offensive if you are being copied in fashion style, but rejoice, and know that you are leading those who have know idea how to put themselves together. Take as much time off as you need, but do come back soon...you'll be missed... <br />Your Friend,<br />The Darling Homemaker, JacquelineJGOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07963357361466567224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-36098353614179768202010-09-26T08:02:12.730-04:002010-09-26T08:02:12.730-04:00Here's something that I'm thinking. I am ...Here's something that I'm thinking. I am wondering if the other girls at school are copying your looks, because maybe they always wanted to wear heels and skirts but were afraid of what people would say or react. You were brave enough to not give a crap what other people thought, so you sort of broke down a barrier for those girls. Trust me, it happens at every highschool. I remember being the first to decided to wear those Spice Girls platform sneakers at school (yeah I was in highschool 10 years ago), and damn it did it not take the other girls at school to start doing the same thing after 2 weeks. Or how about in my adult life, I used to shop at NY and Company and my manager would purposely buy the exact same top, pant, skirt...only in a different color so we could be "twins". Yeah, that pissed me off, so I understand where you're coming from. But remember that you may be taking your blog into real life and giving people inspiration at your own school.The Semi Sweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458898444291933852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-26649025970391476372010-09-25T22:33:33.278-04:002010-09-25T22:33:33.278-04:00I'm sorry people at school have been getting y...I'm sorry people at school have been getting you down:( For me, it's kind of the opposite...people don't really copy me, they just stare, which is really nerve-racking also. Don't worry--most high-schoolers copy you probably just because they don't have a personal style as unique as yours yet! Don't pay any attention to them--it's your style, and nobody can change it. I get so worried when I think about people from school and swimming reading my blog...I mean I haven't even told like, any of my best swimming friends about my blog, so I can understand what you're going through...and it totally stinks. Well, we'll miss you while you're gone, but I'm sure you'll come back more inspired than ever.:)<br /><br />xoxoMilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895806613400347107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-44017919504053376702010-09-25T21:00:04.091-04:002010-09-25T21:00:04.091-04:00Lauren,first i want to say I'll miss you and y...Lauren,first i want to say I'll miss you and your posts way to much.

High school can be a vicious place, just by its nature. I hope you know how much you're valued in the blogging community-- how much I enjoy seeing your outfits, yes, but more importantly reading about YOU as a person! Take all the time you need to figure things out, and know that all your readers will still be here when you get back! <br />(ps.

anyw...be back soon... i love seeing your posts. :)<br /><br />anyway, don't worry about those copycats. just think that you are the trendsetter. let them copy you and dress how they want.. at least you know for a fact that you started it and they copied you. you don't have to stop anything that you love for those kind of people. people have their own intentions and as long as yours are good and will hurt no one, you are all set. let them be and just keep doing what you do. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://barestudy.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://barestudy.blogspot.com</a>BARESTUDY (Janelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04837461138399413521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-83464000497895021312010-09-24T23:32:34.743-04:002010-09-24T23:32:34.743-04:00Oh, Lauren, I'm so sorry to hear you're go...Oh, Lauren, I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all of this. It sucks to be surrounded by people who are ready to tear you apart every day, and I know how tough that can be. Don't allow them to strip you of your passions. If you're uncomfortable with them knowing about your blog, then minimize the amount of people you give out your address to. While some people may be genuinely interested in your blog, others will lurk for other reasons. jealousy is a strange thing.<br /><br />I hope that you will take the next week or so and gain some perspective and then come back to us renewed and refreshed and ready to take on life again. I will miss your cute outfits and stories. Until the, take care my friend.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083115170638995687noreply@blogger.com
