“Style is a reflection of your attitude and personality.”
After watching all the snow in Utah these last few days, it made me start to think about snowflakes and how there is not one that is the same. It made me realize that the same can be said about everyone on this earth. Even identical twins have many similarities but they are not absolutely identical. You might be wondering where this is going, so let me fill you in…
Now we have established that we are all have unique personalities, opinions and more, shouldn’t that also mean that our styles also be unique. I do realize that it is all too easy to just throw on an outfit without really giving it much thought, just following what you see someone else doing, or even worse, seeing the latest trend and wearing it because a fashion magazine or store tells you its the new “hot” thing. But, what if, just what if, you had the confidence to wear an outfit or rock a style that fits YOU and YOUR unique personality? I’m not saying that you can’t copy other cute outfits that you see others wearing, but I have always found it’s better to adapt those styles to your unique personality rather than trying to stick a round peg into a square hole!
Fact: Balancing in heels on a curb is actually really difficult…
For some this may sound to be a lot of work and even overwhelming…so here are a few tips to get you started thinking about how you can really show your personality just by how you dress:
- Colors are a great way of communicating. I am definitely a Red girl, and I feel like Red says a lot about me and my personality – bold, confident, sassy etc. What colors best describe your personality? My guess is that if you know this, those are the colors that are going to make you feel the most at ease and comfortable in what you are wearing.
- Fabrics just like colors can say a lot about the person wearing them. Some fabrics are luxurious, some are sexy, some are durable, versatile, etc…the list goes on. Think of a way you would describe your personality, and think of a fabric that fits that characteristic…for example, if you’re shy a simple cotton might work great, if you’re very confident in yourself, you might wear satin or silk to express yourself.
- Don’t forget the shoes – wearing an outfit that fits your personality but forgetting about the shoes is almost the same as not considering the outfit. I am definitely a stiletto heel kind of girl, so when I am really looking to express my personality and let people know who I am, I tend to wear some pumps or heel that make me feel more like myself.
- Don’t be afraid of who you are – what I mean is, don’t let the fear of trying something new prevent you from really being yourself. You haven’t always thought the same way, worn the same things, or had the same opinions, so your style shouldn’t be any different. In every area of your life growth is necessary and whether we choose to or not, we are always growing one way or another!
- There truly are so many styles and even adaptations on styles that there is no reason for you to be wearing something that doesn’t make you feel great about yourself. I’m talking about dressing the way that makes YOU have those days when you really have a spring in your step because you know you look good.
Most of the people in our lives are there because there was something about not just our looks but also our personality that attracted them. What if we could sync both together, what if we could match our style with who we are? I have found this to be a game changer in my life – it helps me let people know, at least in part, what they can expect from me even before I speak…
I have found that people tend to take others more seriously when they are not afraid of being themselves – whoever that is – because when we are ourselves we are most content and more likely to attract others to want to be around us. Most people can pick up on whether someone is genuine or not, and when you are as authentic in your style as you are when you act and speak, it definitely makes a difference.
