The Fashion Genius (How to define Your Style)

 
     What should  define your style;  should your style be defined by your personality, by the opinion of others or by the trend in the society? Your style represents you, before you utter a word, your mood and personality can be determined by your appearance. Thus,  your style should be defined by YOU, not by the opinion of others or by the trend in the society,create your own image with your style. 
 
       When I was a teen I always loved wearing all my sisters clothes and I will wear their shoes even though our shoe sizes differ, having four fashionistas as elder sisters. I was a stubborn teenager  so when they  declined  and failed to give me a dress to wear, I made sure I did something annoying but overtime I realised I didn't like the appearance I got from the clothes I was always fighting for and one major factor that I considered when I defined my style was the LOVE FACTOR, it is important  you love your style. My style was not what I portrayed and I decided to make a great change.  As a designer, creating different  styles has become a part of me, so everytime I have a complete look that I love.

    We are created differently; we have different personalities & our body type differs. So when shopping  don't buy a size 12 dress that an instagram chic has on,  when you are a size 8, purchase outfits that will fit perfectly, it is totally  necessary  to look and feel amazing  everyday. You are different so don't try copying the style of another person, create your own image.
 I will be giving Three basic steps on  how to define your style,they are:

•know your body type- Always  buy outfits that fit perfectly, not too tight  and not too loose but just right

•know your personality- Ask yourself "what image am I portraying?" represent  what you
stand for with your style.

•Have a striking confidence- without  confidence,  the style of an individual will appear tacky, great confidence is required  for your style. Always slay with confidence.

A girl with a dream

     As a young  child, every piece of fabric  that was colourful caught  my attention, having a mother as a designer made the dream of becoming  a fashion designer appear easy.  I always wondered if I was ever going to design as a child being a terrible artist, at least  I made effort to make  Ankara dresses for my dolls "Tina&Jenifer" hmm... I guess that's  what I called them,feeling  like a badass seamstress then.  I had to give up on that dream, but as the saying goes true dreams don't fade away. Some years later, the passion for designing returned.  I was  still a terrible artist, my drawings were "hu-ugly" but then that just made me mix the two things I love the most, I described my designs by writing, that seemed weird but it was totally  possible because  then  I didn't forget the design and whenever I read what I wrote  down the image of the design became clearer
   
       Anytime  I said "I design" I was asked for the design and I was unable to provide any sketched work, being a terrible artist. I had the idea so I had a strong believe  that I was a designer even though I didn't know how to draw. God sent an angel who  later assisted me by teaching  me the basic aspect of designing, designing  was something I never felt I was ever  going to be able to do "still learning though" . Skills and talents can be acquired when there is a great interest in learning about  the skill or talent. If you have an interest  in something always  make every effort to learn it or make it better, don't accept defeat, because  as a warrior you are totally more than a conqueror. My favorite  quote  is "success is you versus yourself" this is because in everything I do I decide to make myself better than I was and I don't  settle for less and I strongly  believe  that nothing  is impossible . Be in a competition with yourself  to learn that skill that seems impossible . I don't make clothes for dolls anymore but I make my designs for beautiful  ladies. Make your dream your reality.
