Dressing Like Yourself

It's no secret that we all want to be the coolest cats around town. Sometimes you may think "well, who cares what I look like, only my personality matters". Although your personality matters MOST, first impressions are based 70% on appearance, so if you think someone new is going to stick around to hear the amazing things you have to say while you look like a bum, you might be wrong in your assumption. You're not a bum or lazy in your life, so why make people believe that you are with your appearance?

I've recently been working with some people that have different needs image-wise. Although they were looking to portray a particular image, I still knew it was most important to still keep them look like themselves. Have you ever seen a picture of a celebrity in a movie or part that just totally isn't "them"? You can see right through it and it is just a bad scene. The most important part of getting dressed in the morning is making sure that you feel completely comfortable -- as in "I feel like myself today", not "I love wearing track pants to work". 

Wondering how to show this if you are you laid-back and relaxed? Skinny jeans are not for you! Hop on that wide-leg jean trend train! throw a funky scarf around your neck and go for wedges. 


Control freak? Blazer. Any fabric that has lots of structure and is stiff. 


Nerd? Suspenders! Do it, they look so funky and cool. Tuck your t-shirt into your jeans. 


Funkster? Belt your dress with an opposing colour, high-heel it up and grab an outrageous bag. 


Class clown? Colour, colour, and more colour! Pass on the red foam nose and gigantic plastic shoes. 


Most importantly: have fun, and make conscious fashion decision. Don't let the snooze button ruin your morning fun!
