Fashion (no) Fear

Was thinking about fashion stumbling blocks today. Why do we let so many people or how about a few labels tell us what to wear and how? ... Yeah we need an outline or a skeleton if you will, but should we let someone who may have a name but doesn't know shit about "real" fashion tell us what to wear? HELL NO!!! In fact, some of the best lables do nothing but recycle anyway ... we need more I say. Lets lay a classic foundation, build a blended house and pepper it with the right kind of trend!

Don't be afraid to try a little something different. Mix a pattern slightly, contrast colors slightly and play with texture slightly. See how it feels on YOU! Have no fear in fashion ... remember it's the ones who are different that get noticed, especially what it looks like you're NOT trying. Being you is good enough, yeah take notes, use guidelines, everyone needs that. But don't let it dictate the outcome, let it be an element not the reason or the cause.

Feeling Fashion

I saw this quote and couldn't help but post it ..."When you tend to your surface, you are making a statement of faith. You are saying, I matter. You are saying, The world is worth dressing for. You are engaging in the best kind of optimism, an optimism that propels you out of bed in the morning, that directs you to the day. When you put on nice clothes, you are putting on hope; you are saying, Here I am. This is fun. Look at me." -- Lauren Slater

This quote inspired me to start a blog about fashion. Seeing that this is a part of my business, I thought that it would be nice to give a my thoughts on fashion from a emotional and spiritual perspective.

No matter what gender/sex you are fashion is a key indicator to how you are feeling about "you". Don't get me wrong ... it's not an indicator of who you "are" just how you're feeling. We all know that a hot outfit/ensemble, with some color, clean lines, flattering shape, great pattern and texture can change your attitude, walk, swagger, strut, posture, and engery.

So today if you're feeling a little out of sorts and not so put together, put on a outfit that looks effortless, but hot, put it on, do your hair, makeup, shave and dress how you want to feel.
