Stay True to You!



For those who know me I'm more of a Betsey Johnson meets Coco Chanel when it comes to style. I've always joked about about being a style schizo hence what landed me in this position with waaaay too much stuff in the first place. I guess I never really got over playing dress up and although I wish I could always just brave the world and let my inner style shine through, I really do need to be realistic and accept the age old saying – there is a time and a place..... So I save my different styles for my different personalities and too be honest it suits me just fine. In a way I kinda prefer it. It gives me the opportunity to be a different me every day.

While I adore my tucked in Pussy Bow blouses and high waisted pencil skirts with thick banded belts for work and then my 50's party dresses with peekaboo lace petticoats for the not casual Friday's, they don't work on weekends since my boyfriend is virtually married to his dirt bike I'm almost forced to tone it down. Now this does NOT mean because I find myself at some or other freestyle park or show that all style sense goes out the window.... no no.. all it means is finding a different style to suit my surroundings... so whether it be some Boho chic long flowy maxi dress with strappy thongs and cut off baggy tank with a bikini underneath or a short tight denim DC skirt, vest and flat cap its still a style of my own that matches who I am and what I love!

You'll notice the quote I chose for my fashion page is “Style is way to say who you are without having to speak” by Rachael Zoe and what I love most about that is the way its so true. Its one thing to look at fashion magazines and follow the latest trends but its a whole other story staying TRUE to who you are! If you a merely a poser in someone else's clothing then you wont be comfortable and you wont look good - its simple! There are some fashion trends that suit the masses and some that need careful slow infiltration into your wardrobe.... Others are purely ther to look at and be admired. You need to be smart about the trends you choose!

Always stay true to you!
