There is a fantastic article in this month's Allure magazine about style. As in personal style. Think about icons that are well known. Audrey. Marilyn. Jackie O. They had amazing personal style. And they were all different! The article encouraged the reader to discover and embrace their own style.
That got me thinking that I needed to bring it up on the beauty blog. Quick, think of something that makes you, YOU. What is an element of YOUR personal style? Do you have amazing curly hair that you emphasize? Do you have a great vintage jewelry collection? Are you a fan of bright colors? Do you know how to rock the current trends, no matter what they are? Are you a makeup artiste extraordinaire who can do a cat eye like nobody's business? Can you work a pair of stilettos no matter what time of day or what you're wearing?
If you can't think of something that helps define you, then take a minute. Ponder this. What do you want to add to your look to give you that extra oomph? Do you want to try the current scarf trend? What about committing to using lipstick more regularly to really bring out your gorgeous lips? Mix and match jewelry for a really unique/funky look.
Every woman should feel special and beautiful and unique. Having something personal that not only makes you feel good, but makes you memorable is a GOOD thing. It's not about vanity. It's about showing a little piece of who you are on the outside.
Now, that being said, where are my purple, patent leather pants? ;)
I LOVE this article! My personal style is still evolving. . . so thanks for the vote of confidence! I do love to slap on a dark lip!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am rocking the current trend with the gray/smoky eye thing. LOVE IT and can't get enought of it, along with my new purple suede shoes for fall.
