Posted by Barrett in Weight-loss on June 28th, 2009
After realizing that I couldn’t get my image and style together, I decided it was time that I begin to take some new matters into my own hands. I know that criticism is one of the main features that most women are just naturally able to grow into. I also knew that the constant backlashes [...]
Stepping Back and Moving Forward
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 [...]
Defining a Body Shape of Confidence
Posted by Barrett in Body Shape Tips, Diamond, Hourglass on June 18th, 2009
The first thing that I have learned on my adventure of changing my fashion after 20 years is that defining yourself and your body type is the beginning to feeling more confident. We grow up believing that there is a specific image and body type that is the best, which most women don’t fit into.

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.
When I signed up for [...]
First Steps in Fashion
Posted by Barrett in Feeling confident on June 9th, 2009
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 [...]

Posted by Barrett in Overall Style on June 5th, 2009
Now that I’ve gone through my personal clothing line and dumped out the “must have nots,” I have found myself in a completely new prediciment.

I’ve been writing about my steps toward becoming more stylish, but I’ve only alluded to the important first step I took several weeks ago - enrolling in a weekly online eclass from www.becomestylish.com.
At first, I found myself hesitant to talk about this with friends or family. I didn’t want to brag to everyone about how [...]
Throwing Away the Frump
Posted by Barrett in Behaving Stylishly on May 29th, 2009
It took some careful evaluation to decide what I needed to change about the way that I looked and how I felt about myself because of it. After questioning what I was really thinking and feeling, I finally determined that it was time for a clearing of the past. My hope was that this would [...]
How I’m becoming confident through style!
Posted by Cassie in Behaving Stylishly, Feeling confident, Overall Style on May 27th, 2009
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 [...]
Journey Back to “Me”
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.
