5 Ways to Step Out of Your Box

My goal as a designer and stylist is to make you feel and look exactly how you want, but to also bring you out of your box. So there will be days that I will allow you to feel how you want to feel then there will be days where I will tell you to get out that hole you have dug of self pity, get dressed in your best, put some mascara on, smile and let’s take care of business.

Here are 5 ways you can easily get out of box.

5. Stop wearing the same color you’re used.  Black is not for every body.

4.Stop shopping at the same stores! Try a new store, you know that one store you walk past every time you go the mall and say “they’re too expensive” Or are intimidated by their bright lights and flashy display. Yea, Go in there!

3.Stop shopping for comfort. Shop for what fits you nicely. Not those super baggy pants that make you have saggy booty and that includes those mom jeans! Buy the jeans that fit. You can not wear flats and tennis shoes everyday all the time. Heels are ok. Kitten heels do not count!

2.Learn how to wear your clothes. The easiest way to learn this is…… TRY the clothes on while in the store! And don’t try it on see if it fits and then take it off. NO! Try it on, look in the mirror and decide how it makes you feel.  Can you move? Is your booty saggy? Does it make you look bulky?  If you answer YES to any of these questions, get a different size. Try it on again.  When you learn how to wear your clothes correctly, this opens up your options, you start to feel different about clothes and you encourage yourself to try something new.

1.The #1 way to easily get out of your style box is to GO FOR IT! Instead of buying that same ol’ black button up shirt and grey slacks. Go for the floral print. Go for the leather skirt you have been eyeing and unsure of. Try the yellow! Try it in red! Go for the colors and prints! It is ok to just Go for it! I do it all the time! If it makes me turn my face up in confusion “should I try that? That’s different” I try it. Simple!

If you ask me to style you, be ready because I am the type of stylist and designer that will put you in the best color that suits your skin tone and body type. So if you’re a chocolate diva, honey I’m putting you in bright colors. If you’re caramel latte like myself I’m putting you in cool colors like purple, dark green,turquoise blue etc. And if you’re that honey golden brown that looks great in everything then Amen, we have so many choices to play with and we are going to play with as many colors and prints as possible. If you have an olive skin tone then sweetheart I’m putting you in warm colors that don’t wash you out! But I will not just dress you in anything because that’s what your comfortable in. I do what’s best for you and teach how to step out of you box.
