COMFORT OVER FASHION, NOW AND FOREVER

Many are the times we as women prioritize fashion and style over comfort. One would rather wear as per trends and fashions regardless of the imperfections on their body; because we all think that fashion is what defines us.

Well, it's no news that your wardrobe says alot about you. We all believe that what we wear can inform a passerby of our type of employment, as well as our ambitions, emotions and spending habits but I think to us women, this doesn't apply much.

To me, comfort wins with an appalling gap. I personally enjoy wearing stereotypically feminine wardrobe items like form fitting clothing, dresses, pencil skirts, low heels, poufy sleeves, sheer blouses, lace camisoles etc. As long as this is what makes me feel comfortable leaving alone fashions.

Clothes are ever so revealing (our personalities) that is; what messages they are sending and how one can use their wardrobe to change how people perceive them- and how you also think about yourself as an individual.

Especially now with this economy with people losing status, maintaining a sense of who we are becomes even more important. Our clothes help place us be where we think we want to be. This believe makes women be more likely to marry a well dressed man than one who ain't as put together.

I think it's important first to know the parts of our body we want to highlight or downplay. When you know that, body type becomes less important the same as fashion. Just focus on your figure priorities.

Why wear a pencil skirt when you are aware of the shapeless bulges on your body while wearing it, just because it's fashion? I'm sure this finally causes discomfort and also adds an extra layer of low self esteem and lack of self confidence. 

It's true that mostly girls dress to impress fellow girls. Others also dress to impress men since they are sexually driven by what they see and this becomes easy for them to objectify women based on how they are dressed which is not right. Let's dress for comfort and also as per our styles. Impress yourself first and care less about what's trending as a lady.

Fashions you can buy but styles you can posses. The key to style is learning first who you are, which takes years. There is no road map to style. It's about self expression and above all, attitude.
