Marilyn
Monroe was famous for stating “Diamonds
are a girl best friend!” but I truly believe fashion has become my best
friend. I have two storage boxes of fashion magazines from Glamour to Vogue.
Ever since I was in high school I would spend endless hours in the library
looking at all the fashion magazines. Fashion has a way of telling a story
through the way you dress, wear makeup and wear your hair. Fashion can help you
create your own signature look effortlessly. As I have become more confident in
the fabulous years of my 30s I am realizing the clothes, hair and makeup that
create my signature style. I am a firm believer that everyone has a style of
their own but many women may not know how to create it. Before you become one with
fashion you have to convert to the real you. Many readers who follow my blog
know I have discussed my authentic journey; dealing with my issues, building my
confidence and getting rid of toxic people in my life. Before I could truly
walk into the fullness of who I was I first had to face my issues head on and
learn to be okay with my imperfections. Many women hide behind name brand
clothes, makeup and hair because they have no concept of who God created them
to be. So instead of allowing their makeup, hair and clothes to compliment them
they allow these things to define them. If you struggle with finding your
fashion niche or that signature style that makes you authentic, follow these
tips to allow fashion to become your best friend.
Tips
To Dress Authentically:
Tip
#1: Be Authentic. Its ok to get
inspiration from someone else style but always make it your own.
Tip
#2: Experiment. It is always good to
spice up your look in fashion by wearing something bold whether it’s red
lipstick, printed paints or a bright colorful shirt. Never be scared to step
outside your comfort zone.
Tip
#3: Signature Look. Start creating
your own signature look whether it is how you wear you hat, makeup or
something that simply states who you are. My signature slogan and look for
myself is “less is more”. I love to
be bold, classy and elusive at the same time.
After taking these steps you should be
well on your way to making fashion your best friend.
