Whatever You Find Yourself Wearing, Choose To Wear It Well
With additional special events scattered throughout this holiday calendar I'm guessing that you may have found yourself hitting the panic button once or twice when it comes to deciding what in the world you're going to wear.
We'v/I've all been there but the panic can quickly turn to peace if you keep a few things in mind.
I think we can probably all agree that when we put some time and effort into looking our best we magically feel better and more at ease whether it is at a special event during the holidays or even if we're just out doing life.
Am I the only one who dislikes when you run into someone and they spend the first five minutes apoligising for their appearance or make comments on how good you look and how bad they look? C'mon ladies, you can do better than this. How do you want to be perceived? Answer that question and carry on.
Five Fashion Pointers For Your Peace-filled Party Presence
1. If you're getting your panties tied in a knot over your party outfit. Ask yourself why? What's riding on the line....are you needing to make a special impression on someone hosting or attending the party or is it that you have the need for approval that is twisting your core? If that is the issue then you want to address this bigger issue first. Are you as hard on others as you are being on yourself? I bet others aren't judging you as harshly and if they are that's their problem, not yours. In keeping with the dress code....wear what you feel best in and go!
2. Know thyself, accept thyself. This needs to be first and foremost. Your outfit of choice should express your personality as well as compliment the caliber of the event. Your choice will determine your comfort and ease but your inner confidence will shine through whether or not you are dressed appropriately for the occasion.
3. Adhere to the dress code on the invitation and if there is no dress code error on over dressing rather than underdressing. None the less, getting dolled up will express your respect to the host.
4. If you aren't wanting to spring for a new outfit, spring for a little pre-party pampering whether it be a mani-pedi, new make-up. or a blow-out or an up-do. It's the holidays, embrace them and yourself in the process!
5. No matter whether the dress code reads: Christmas Casual, Fashionably Festive, or Outrageously Tacky remember to always wear it well!
Remember you want people to remember YOU and not just your outfit. If they remember both,you got it going on, girl!
