Inspiration with Fashion: Being confident in who you are!

Do you sometimes feel or wish you had more confidence? I used to feel that way. (well sometimes I still do :) ). The pressure of society trying to dictate how much I should weigh, how I should wear my hair or even walk can be a bit daunting. If you are anything like me then you would totally disregard society and embrace the unique beauty that God has given to you.

I know sometimes it can be difficult. Maybe as a child you were meeted with negative words by those close to you or even now as an adult. I can relate to that fully. It took me a long time to embrace me but I did it. If I can do it then you can as well. Do not allow anyone to define you!!! However if you are still struggling here are a few things that has helped me maybe you can try it as well.

Accept the way you are -There is no other person in the world with your smile, your laugh, your hair etc..that's right (look in the mirror and smile :)) ).
Wear what you want to wear- make sure it compliments your body, choose flattering colours..and try to be as natural as possible.. you do not need to mask your beauty with overdone make up.
Talk to youself in the mirror-smile, words have power, the more positive things you say, the more it would be felt.
Take care of you- love your body, excercise, treat yourself ( and it is ok to have ice-cream :) )

These are just a few things that helps me. I hope it will help you..
Remember you are beautiful and unique...Love yourself..

Now put on your Smile ( which is your best assest ) and step confidently into the world.

The Importance of wearing the right colours to the office

Have you ever noticed that when you wear a certain colour/s it does something to your mood. Well there is a reason for that. Based on the Psychology of colour, colours and mood are inextricably linked. Apart from  wearing the most appropriate colours in our social life, it is also important that we choose the most appropriate colours for the office.Wearing the right colours at the office will not only boost our confidence but also allow us to be more efficient and effective.

Some of the best colours to wear are green, blue, brown and of course black. The colour green is known as the money colour. It denotes freshness and harmony and is also pleasing to the eyes. Blue has always been known as a calming colour. Wearing this colour tends to keep you calm and in control. Brown is the colour of stability and Black is the authority colour and can also be very elegant.

Colours that should not be worn to the office are red, yellow and grey. Red is the passion or aggressive colour and wearing it to the office may cause you to be seen as not too friendly. Yellow is a happy colour but for the office it can be considered to be unstable or overenergizing. Grey deotes negativity and lack of energy, so you definitely do not want to wear it.
Of course there are colours you can wear in moderation or as accents such as purple or white.

Although wearing certain colours do affect our mood. I believe that by cordinating our colours properly we can still look great, feel great and be effective at the office.

Be Unique
