thought i would share a little piece of nina garcia’s book “the little black book of style”…love this description of what nina says that personal style is…
“it is truly unique when you see that one girl who is so different…the one who you just have to walk up to and ask her about her skirt…shirt…bag…etc…i don’t see that girl nearly as often as i would like…be that girl…anyone can be “in fashion”…all one has to do is follow the herd and abide by the rules of the season…but style is personal…there is no herd to follow…there are no rules…there are no seasons…style comes from within…if there is anything absolute about style…it is that it holds you accountable to yourself at every moment…you have to be confident with who you are on the inside before you can ever fully be comfortable presenting yourself to the outside world…and how you present yourself to the world is important…it is inherently related to your sense of self…every time you dress you assert some aspect of yourself and your identity…with style…you tell the world who you are…or at least the story of who you would like to be on that particular day…style affords you opportunities…it opens doors and allows you the chance to showcase a facet of yourself in an obvious and inimitable way…”
well said nina…so let’s go out there…and show the world who we are..
