as our quest continues for finding our personal style…i ask you…what do you feel good in?
you will ask more of your clothes than you would in a spouse…you will demand that they make you feel pretty, and witty…and why? because you can!
you may wear a perfectly cut suit like a coat of armor – to conquer, to defend…at times, your clothes will announce you…at other times, disguise you…
your daily uniform? the things you reach for…time after time…one really great thing about clothes? they will never complain that you’re simply too demanding or hard to live with…but you need to know what makes you feel secure…even if that changes depending on whether you’re at home, or at work, or at your best friend’s wedding…sometimes, security is knowing that you look drop-dead fabulous…
cut, color, and pattern are what you must consider…you start this by “facing the facts” as to your body type…that is…really focus on your size, your proportions…it really does make a difference in diciphering if a style is right for you…or not…
style is not about clothes alone…if it were, a white shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and a glen-plaid jacket would always look the same no matter who was wearing them…
style is about making something your own…coco chanel knew this…maids’ uniforms, costume jewelry, men’s yachting clothes – all were reinterpreted by her to suit her taste and sense of fashion…
style looks effortless…it removes any possibility that the wearer should ever dress any other way…did anyone ever wonder what katharine hepburn would look like in flashy clothing?
syle is confident…it can be brash and loud, or soft and demure…years ago…madonna, for example, was known for constantly reinventing herself; she tried on every possible look…others, like lauren hutton or jodie foster, have perfected a more low-key approach…
what will your mark be?
