My Personal Inspiration

Since I have gotten a couple requests for me to make a fashion blog, I thought I would share with everyone my appreciation for fashion! Fashion is something that I love because it is expressive. Appearance is salient when navigating relationships with other people. I choose to represent myself as a person of class, intelligence, and poise. I hope to portray those traits with the clothes that I wear and the values that I cherish. My hope is that people understand that fashion is not contingent upon the amount of money that you have. Fashion is about creativity. It is about creating a representation of yourself that people are sure to remember! A fashionista needs to be innovative, smart, and flexible. Fashion is never stagnant. My goal with this blog is to make fashion a little more accessible for the average consumer like me!

If I had to describe my own personal style, it would be a cross between traditional and preppy. Let me shed light on the term "preppy." Many are quick to confuse preppy with labels. Preppy is more of an attitude. It is holding yourself to a higher standard. I believe that regardless of self-esteem, if you carry yourself with confidence, you will eventually learn to embody the qualities that you want others to see! In that sense, I have fun with bright colors and patterns. I let myself experiment with sparkles and fun prints. Any outfit can be customized with unique accessories. As far as traditional goes, I like classic pieces that can be worn for years! It is always good to have staple items in your closet that will never go out of style. If you are going to splurge, spend that extra money on your traditional pieces. For instance, I have a pair of Steve Madden stiletto boots that I have gotten SO much use out of. A basic brown trenchcoat, a little black dress, and a nice pair of boots are items that you will cherish for quite some time!

 Make people take you seriously. This means do not be the girl that gets attention by showing too much skin. Be the girl that turns heads because she is powerful, elegant, and a force to be reckoned with! Happy shopping and styling to all!

Xoxo!
