"It seems like everyone is starting to adopt the 'F it' attitude and just wearing what they want. People are playing with colors, textures and patterns and going against the grain, which I always love to see. Trends will always come and go, but style is in you and only you. We all need to stay away from looking for outside validation or abiding by what's popular at the moment and just rock what feels good to you personally."
-Dani DMC

-Dani DMC
11. Above everything else, Dani wants people to know she's always been the same person.
"Before social media was around, I was always this girl. I've developed into an even better woman, but I am exactly who I am in-person as I am online. What you see is what you get. I think I'm the s***, my confidence is unwavering and I want you to feel the exact same way about yourself. I want us all to radically love ourselves and I will never stop fighting for that."
