One thing many people pick up about me, is that I have a HUGE love
for clothing and fashion. Let me start off by saying that your clothing is not what makes you, you! It does not define you. I view it as a way to enhance what
you already like about yourself and as an avenue to express that joy. How you
use fashion to express your joy and beauty is how I would define style. Everyone has their
own style and that is something I find so beautiful when I look at those around
me. As I have mentioned a few times
before, sometimes when I am feeling down I put on a rocking outfit, look in the
mirror, do a snap in the Z-formation, and say “Shimmer, Sparkle Shine!”
Unfortunately life gets in the way and we do not always have
the financial ends to express our style and dress our body like we would want
to. Luckily, we can work with what we got and places like thrift stores make it
easy to focus on celebrating ourselves for once through our style. With that
being said, the joy I get in finding a one of a kind discounted piece of
apparel at a thrift store is WAY more gratifying than getting clothes for full price at normal retail stores. You do not have to spend a lot of money to express your style and beauty!
I always appreciate finding quotes by a fashion designer
about how fashion/style is meant to enhance our natural beauty and that it
isn’t meant to replace or be mistaken for as the reason for our beauty. Here
are a few of my favorites;
- “Everyday is a fashion show and the world in your runway.” –Coco Chanel
- “Style is the way to say who you are without having to speak.” – Rachel Zoe
- “Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever.” – Ralph Lauren
With Love,
Ciara
