Developing a Sense of Style

"Celebrating your authentic style through the clothes you wear is an art form" ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

I still haven't set aside those 2 hours to go through my wardrobe but I do get rid of one item at a time. Usually all I have to do is ask Kristen, our traffic coordinator and FDG (front desk girl) yes or no, and she will let me know if I should keep what I am wearing or give it away. Pants too short? Shirt too tight or loose? Shoes too ugly? That girl has fashion sense and she's barely 30. I'm so glad I have her guidance because it's a very slow process to discover your own style and it needs to be nurtured. Plus, you don't need much. Just a few key items and as long as you've got attitude, you're set. Style is not trendy, it's the "intersection of what you wear with who you are". Today you are to remind yourself that you are the artist of your outer authentic self and are on the path of uncovering your signature look. Can always wearing black pants be my signature look? I don't think so... so I bought 2 pairs of brown pants! w00t! They are still the classic, tailored department store pants that everyone buys and wears. Oh well. I'm going to have to lose those 25 lbs and break out the retro size 6 dresses of '03 & '08. At least it's not the wardrobe of the 70's or 80's, although I actually still do have several pieces of that wardrobe left. They can be used for Halloween costumes. Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
