Life is not about finding yourself-

Life is about creating yourself!

I saw these wise words from an editor I know. When I saw it I got so inspired because that is exactly how I feel one should dress.

When you get up in the morning, it’s not about outing something on just because it is in style at that present time ere, but putting something on that says who you are or how your are feeling today. I was told by one of my lecturers once, that if you wake up feeling down and dull- dress up. Put on heels, red lipstick or some colour. Eventually during that day people will compliment you on something, whether it is the way you look different, or even your lipstick; you’ll end up smiling and feeling much better than you did originally.

You know how some people always say dress according to the weather- well I beg to differ. I say keep the weather in mind but dress how you feel; but keep the fact that being stylish ends the look. Suffer for beauty if must but don’t freeze to death if it’s cold or give yourself blisters in a small shoe. I mean just be prepared to be a bit different.

Don’t’ be afraid to wear colour if you never do. I love colour but I know colour can be a disadvantage in some places, especially in the work place when you expect people to take you seriously.

Now back to how I get dressed in the mornings. I choose something as a main focus to arrange everything else around. Whether it’s a pair of earrings or shoes. Maybe it could be your hairstyle or nail polish colour- just get a focus point. I then start assembling your outfit like a puzzle. So my main focus today was my shoes- it is a pair of peep-toe laced up ankle boots. I added my favourite jeans which is a boyfriend styled jeans that is tucked/rolled up. I then added a bronze belt as the shoes are also similar to bronze, with a bronze bangle and chain.  My hair I swept all to the back in a little bun. My top is a blue off the shoulder baggy blue knitted top. This was my creation!

So for the future- dress yourself like you are creating yourself. Don’t care about what everyone else is wearing, but keep the trend in style.
