1. Know YOUR character
With the right clothing, and a little inspiration decide who you want to
be for the day. Do you want to be serious or light hearted? Flirty
or tailored? Your personal style should express on the outside, who
we are on the inside. Challenge yourself to try something new on,
next time you find yourself in the mall. You never know where it
might lead. Clothing is often misrepresented on the hanger.
Don't judge it! Try it on! :)
2.Know YOUR shape
Know thy measurements... and love them! I do not know a single woman
who doesn't believe they have 5-10lbs to lose, or some sort of change
they would like to make. No two shapes are exactly the same, and thank
goodness for that. Don't wait for that change to start feeling good!
Learning to dress for your shape will hide our least favorite
features, and excentuate the features we like. Try standing infront
of the mirror and admire your best assets out loud. Do you love the
contours of your hips? Say it! Do you love your bare shoulders? Say
it!
3. Brand YOURself
Your signature style, much like the way you sign your name is one way to
quickly establish your presence. Maybe you love wearing green, and
find a way to put it in your ensemble every day. Perhaps you love big
chunky accessories, red lipstick, or Brigitte Bardot "cat eyes"...
Whatever it may be, make sure you LOVE it, and that you are consistent
with it. My signature style always includes my Pearl Necklace. I feel
naked without it, I wear it to the gym, to sleep and everywhere
else.
4.Get ACCESSORIZED
My family and friends might tell you that I need to join a Handbags
Anonymous group... but I will tell you that I am so inspired by
Handbags, and specifically the combination of metal with textiles. This
bag inspires an interesting collection of colors, mixing pewter and
gold with bright orange, and red. When I am designing a room, or
deciding what I am going to wear... or purchase I always look to
textiles, accessories, or prints for inspiration. The perfect bag will
always put you together! Word to the wise,... if you are in the habit
of carrying a large handbag like this, make sure you mind your
posture! Don't let your bag, turn you into a bag lady down the road!
