Stop blending in.
Take a moment and ask yourself:
Who are you?
What do you stand for?
What makes you different?
Personal Style is the biggest trend of our times. Fashion Industry promotes Fashion Trends as they are the way the industry makes money. With sustainable voices getting louder, and the general mind shift, our focus is gradually switching from "fashionable" to "personal", and we couldn't be happier.
Understanding who you are and what you want is therefore the first important step.
Follow it by:
How do you communicate your message to others?
What do people around you think of you?
Those close to you and those who put a label on you based on how you look. Because you know that we all do. Pretending it doesn't matter does not mean people don't judge us by our appearances. And who isn't guilty of passing a judgement on someone's look once in a while?
Why should it matter what others think of you? – it shouldn’t. But it does.
Suppose your appearance is not your priority. When you think of it, the lack of the message is a message in itself.
And by not giving a damn this is exactly what you communicate to people: ”I do not give a damn about myself.” Think about it: no message is therefore maybe a stronger message than you realise! It is not rare that people would think: "If he/she doesn't take themselves seriously, why should I?"
If you know who you are, you have no problem transmitting exactly exactly the right message. If you don’t – you might want to start with the easiest step on the journey, and call in a help of a professional who is trained to tune into you and translate the message to the others.
Style and personality are inevitably connected with each other. I am not asking you to follow latest fashion trends. I am not asking you to spend hours and hundreds on your outfits. All I am asking is that you start taking care of yourself by looking into the mirror and aligning what you see with who you are inside, and let others enjoy the wonderful personality that you are.
Stop blending in.
Start standing out.
