For about 1 month, I have been taking my free time to find out what it really takes to be in fashion and style.  So far, I have found that it begins with the  mind and manifests in the clothes.
While my progress is definitely different from what started, I have also found that there are [...]

Posted by Barrett in Feeling confident on June 23rd, 2009

With my new found knowledge of knowing my body type and understanding exactly how I was able to fit into things, was also a new found confidence of how I felt about myself.  For a few days, I have been walking around holding myself a little straighter and feeling comfortable in my body.  This is [...]

Having a stylish body

Posted by Cassie in Beauty, Exercise, Feeling confident, Fitness, Overall Style on June 9th, 2009

I’ve got 42 years of history with exercise and few of them are good.
I’ve tried everything, excelled at nothing, and usually found any sort of exercise too boring and too depressing to continue. Every year I was a bit more out of shape than the year before. It’s a familiar story.

With the realization that I needed to take a different approach to fashion, while listening to the experts, was also a new set of rules that I needed to apply.  This was the first concept that I learned, one which didn’t just include what I was shopping for, but also which implied what I was [...]

Improving make-up techniques

In the past, I’ve sometimes thought of style as being a trivial issue, one that is only about vanity and selfishness. I had heard that looking good could improve your self-esteem and make you more dynamic and vibrant. But I guess I thought that worked only if you were vain to begin with. Having a [...]

Posted by Cassie in Feeling confident on May 26th, 2009

For over 20 years, I have been dealing with the “looks game.”  The one where you can’t    figure out what to wear, are trying to cover things up and aren’t able to become your true, fashionable self.
This journey started when I was around 12… I’m sure you all remember this time.  All of a [...]

Can you learn self-confidence when it comes to style?

Posted by Cassie in Behaving Stylishly, Feeling confident, Overall Style on May 19th, 2009

I have a glamourous friend. She’s thin, of course. And though she’s in her early 40s just like me, she looks a lot younger. Her skin glows. Her hair shines. She’s always wearing stylish clothes that I can’t afford and no matter what she wears - even if it’s just jeans and a t-shirt - [...]
