SHE's GOT StyLE...

I have always had a sense of STYLE ever since I was a little girl. I remember how I refused being dressed up for parties in bright pink. I have never been interested in fashion; as in following the trend and being part of the herd of worshippers of designer labels. I don't have the patience trying on clothes in my shopping sprees; let alone digging for bargains during the seasonal sales. Basically I know exactly what I want / need and I am too stubborn to take up suggestions of any kinds especially when it comes to fashion. I trust myself enough to decide what is best for me and it is important that I feel comfortable in what I wear.

My clothes or how I present to the world are my visual shorthand. My personal style and preference are what define me, it is my conscious self-expression. I know from experience what suit me and hence I can simply ignore what doesn't. I stick to what I know to be the best fit for me and my personality as I stay away from whatever that is not my cup of tea.We have the freedom to highlight aspects of ourselves including our mood, our fantasies and the roles we play through our choices of what to wear on a daily basis.

Although I don't have a degree in fashion design and none of my magazine subscriptions is fashion related, I am instinctively drawn to clothes that look good on me and I do believe that accessorizing helps to alter the look big time. I have my own colour palette and I stick to the plain and classical as I add accessories to match the occasion. It is the versatility that I like about the combination. I don't want to revamp my wardrobe from one season to the next like a fashion model when I have the basics in store. Of course my taste changes over time in terms of colours and patterns but comfort remains the top factor in my decisions. You won't see me in wedges or killer heels or you would have mistaken me for someone else. 

Knowing what looks good on me saves me a lot of money, effort, and time. On the other hand it is a creative challenge to mix and match, dressing with authenticity and uniqueness while being comfortable. You can probably get to know quite a bit about me by looking at what I wear and how I wear what I wear. Personal style is always evolving but finding out who I am and what I stand for is more important than the latest fashion trend at my age. Fitting in no longer holds me hostage and standing out is only natural when I don't care what others think of me. After all I have to be comfortable in my own skin, together with the freedom and confidence which I gain from being true to myself.
