Here at Blaque Diamond Fashions we have the philosophy that when you look good, you feel good. With that you radiate a sense of happiness and well-being, and the world sees you as a woman of style and substance. People are naturally drawn to you, they want to be around you and the world opens up.
Style is not defined by name tags or charge cards. Whether you’re a big spender or a penny pincher, everyone has the potential to be stylish. Style is creative and simple. Style is not about the latest designers, seasonal fads or whatever else may be in or out in a fickle fashion movement. Looking great had nothing to do with trends, but EVERYTHING to do with classic lines and flattering fit.
Now… getting dressed in the morning shouldn’t be the MOST important thing you do to start your day… But it should be pretty close to the top of your priority list. Here are a few simple tips to get you on the road to style.
1. INVEST in a full length mirror. It will be one of the best and time honored fashion investments you will ever make.
2. FORGET about the size tags. So many people get caught up in the “number game” that limits their willingness to think outside of the box and experiment wit different shapes. Every designer and manufacturers cut their clothes differently. One company’s size 11 may be a size 9 in another brand.
3. INVEST in a tailor. This is a minor cost that reaps MAJOR benefits. It is better to have only a few clothes that offer an impeccable fit than to have an abundance of clothes that are hit and miss.
Finally, know yourself. Style is all about YOU. So understand yourself, your figure and your face. At the end of the day, ask yourself the following questions and see what you come up with.
What are my three best features?
When I picture myself, what am I wearing?
What are my favorite outfits?
If I should take one woman’s style, who would be?
When people tell me that I look nice, what am I usually wearing?
