Deep down in the Underworld, there lives a little creature

What I've been wondering today quite a bit is that why do I consider people who dress colorfully my INSPIRATION when I myself mostly use dark clothes? This is a thought I've been thinking the whole day. A stupid thought. It won't leave me alone.. So what is the answer to my question?
  
Let's take an example. Susie Bubble. She mostly dresses very colorfully and with lots of decoration and small accessories still managing to make her outfit always look BALANCED. That is what I like and have found it very inspirational. Always when I read her blog and see what she has worn makes me extremely inspired to look something up, write something or do something crazy (that I actually won't even regret later on!). I love the feeling but why don't I look like her, like, at all?
  
Another example is Nicki Minaj, she does the same thing to me as looking at Susie's photos. But still I can't adapt to her style. I wear very dark colors, maybe a glimpse of red and green under my shirt or around my neck but that's about it. I want to wear more colorful and extreme but it seem like I simply just can't. I like my style as it is now but I would love it to be more like Susie's or Nicki's.
  
Then I started thinking more deeply. WHAT IF I am not meant to wear clothes like Susie? Maybe I'm not supposed to be as bold as Nicki. Maybe this is who I am and the only problem I have is to accept myself. You can improve your style all the time but you can't change it. I now know that my style will evolve through out years but it will never change because I don't really believe in the claim that people could change their true selves whenever they want to. A person is who a person is. To some people it might sound depressing but all isn't written in stone: as I said, you can develop yourself. That is what I learned. I should be happy with the fact that I only have little color in my clothes because that is what is me. I might never wear completely as colorful or spicy as my inspirational idols do but I can take snips of boldness to my style - at the same time keeping it mine.
  
 What a deep THOUGHTS I've had today (if you can call thoughts considering clothes deep). I think I'll do something less serious the rest of the day: might read the book a bought on weekend. The Devil Wears Prada, here I come! Now here is some inspiration for you to the end (and I believe I've posted way too much about Susie so here is Nicki!).
