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 more desires I have to continue to step forward into looking better and feeling better about myself.
I’ve become much more satisfied with my weight, and have lost three to five pounds within the last three weeks. I know that this may not seem like a lot, but to me, it is a huge step forward in the right direction. As I continue to exercise, I also have noticed that I have begun to feel better about myself and how I feel with my body image - starting in my head.
Because of this new found style in my confidence, I have decided to match my mood with my clothing. The new trend that I am building for myself is one that highlights the areas that I like about myself, while letting others disappear.
From the Become Stylish program, I have learned that highlighting your body type through your clothes depends on finding specific sizes as well as cuts to get the best form. This doesn’t always depend on the latest trends and styles, but instead depends on a combination of comfort and looks that work best for you.
I have found out through this, that the specific cuts that fit me best also bring out my shape and my figure. I instantly look thinner, younger and more vibrant. This is combined with the colors that are fitting me best, which instantly allows me to look like I am younger and more excited. I had never noticed how much this could make in my appearance, as well as how I feel about myself.
With the different cuts that I have found, is a new progress that I have also begun to initiate with my self esteem and confidence. I am finding that as my confidence progresses, so does my ability to have the image that I truly desire. I can also notice when others do not hold this same esteem or have a specific mentality towards their body image because of how they dress and carry themselves.
My new measurements for my success with my image has now begun to reach a new figure. I’m expecting that this will continue to change in the up and coming months with my ability to see myself as I am, instead of what my mind wanted me to believe.
