Pick Your Poison

I lovingly refer to myself as an "accessory whore". Though my wardrobe is jam-packed with denim, skirts, dresses, sweaters, and tees (and when I say "jam-packed" I mean it - my closets are overflowing, and that is with past-season wear in storage!), I most often find myself in my tried-and-true uniform - jeans and a black top. The way I differentiate is through accessory. I love scarves. I love jewelry. I love shoes. I love handbags. I can tell the world how I feel about life on any given day through my manipulation of those four things: if I'm sleepy or feeling underwhelmed? Black on black will do. If I'm feeling sexy and saucy, ready to conquer the world? My ultimate motto applies: "excess is best"...I want red patent leather, 5" heels, and blinged out jewels. That's just me.

Today's blog is short and sweet and is about giving you license to find what is just you. I know gals who never wear pants - bring on girlie skirts and dresses every day of the week. I know divas who don't own heels - converse for day and ballet flats for night keep them feeling fine. And for the more hair and makeup focused chickies? A basic outfit and slammin' turquoise shadow and liquid liner put them in the zone. Take some time to think about what really flexes your fashion muscles and own it! Spend your energy (and your dollars) in the right places, and getting dressed in the morning will become as much - if not more - fun than the rest of your day! Pick your fashion poison, fashionistas, and I'll see you next time!
