As we move from being a toddler to a young giggling girl, a teenage diva right through to becoming a glamorous woman, we all begin to discover our own style of dressing. From the love of the color pink, floras, frills and dainty hairstyles, some of us have always had it in us to want to look good. Style is eternal they say while fashion comes and goes. It is a woman’s pride to look stylish.
As a young girl grows she becomes aware of her likes and dislikes and what works for her. Some people are born with instinctive good style, while others develop their own through practice, experimenting and exposure.
A number of people are quite shy to express themselves and would rather not be noticed, they give off the thoughts that standing out makes them look as if they are somewhat showing off.Whatever your style you should be happy, confident and exert a positive attitude.
Your style should be a good expression of your goals in life, personality, character and lifestyle.Why feel shy in your clothes, diminishing your self-esteem when you can shine like a diamond, have a spring in your step and feel good about yourself.
