My mom told me “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” I can’t tell you how many times growing up. Not because she wanted to, but because her little girl seemed to have her panties in a wad anytime someone “copied” her.

What a narcissistic kid I was.

With age, this immature pattern of thinking has changed and now I find myself intentionally copying other people. Success leaves clues, as Tony Robbins has drilled into my head, and that is what I am always looking for. Whether it be a life-hack I learn from one of my favorite people, Danielle LaPorte or a personal style-ism from one of my favorite bloggers like Happily Grey, I am always on the prowl to learn something new or as my younger self would say “copy” success.

It’s as if the stars aligned perfectly for this post when Rebecca told me at 8 am that Justin Bieber’s new single had unexpectedly dropped with Major Lazer (have you heard it?) because I am, in fact, copying him in this outfit post. I am exploring the streets of Richmond with my own version of #mycalvins in this Calvin Klein tee from ASOS. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and if you do something wonderful – people around you may do something wonderful to! How is that for a copy cat?
