As someone who is about two extended shopping trips from being sent to Shoppers Anonymous, I believe that your clothes are a part of what makes you who you are... the clothes might not make the person but, it sure as hell is a big part. Your clothes help show the world a part of your personality. So why not make yourself feel like the gods opened the skies and plopped you down here on Earth so that the world could be graced with your fabulous sassy self? When you look good, you feel good, and the last time I checked no one enjoyed feeling self conscious about themselves so why not slide yourself into something you love and enjoy every minute of it! So here are my top 3 tricks and tips for loving what you wear and wearing what you love:
1. Dress for yourself, not for attention:
No one needs to lie, everybody loves a little attention of the positive persuasion. This doesn't mean that you should go out of your way to get it though. Don't wear clothes just because you think that you'll get more attention from people for wearing them. Chances are doing this will make you feel more uncomfortable then comfortable because you'll probably spend a majority of your time wondering whether people are staring at you because they like what your wearing or because they think you've recently been styled by Amanda Bynes. Picking out clothes should make you feel good, not paranoid about what other people think about you.
2. Trust yourself:
Do you like the outfit you put on today? If you do, OWN IT! Don't second guess yourself. Like I've already said a million times and will probably say a million more times ( just in case you don't get it) it's about making you happy & feeling good about yourself, not some basic chick who doesn't even matter. You know what you like and what you look good in so roll with it and wear it with confidence. It really is amazing what a little confidence can do! No matter what your style, people will love it if you wear it with a smile. It might not be their style but if you rock it with a little pep in your step and you won't believe how many people will tell you how well you pull of your style.
3. It's not about what's "in style," its about YOUR STYLE:
Your clothes aren't all about what the latest fashion trend is in this season. It's about the things you like to wear. If you like whats in fashion that's freakin' fantastic; it will make stocking up your wardrobe a hell of a lot easier but, if you don't thats cool too. So what if you don't like what's in style, just let it be and watch it die as the next new thing comes in. There is no sense in changing your style every time something new comes out just because it's what everyone else is doing. The only thing that is going to happen from that is wasting a lot of money on things you'll never wear again and forever feeling uncomfortable trying to fit in.
Always remember that not every piece of clothing fits every body type or fashion sense and that's okay because it wasn't meant to be universal. What makes you feel good might not make someone feel comfortable at all. So find the styles you love, put on a smile, and rock them! <3
