Ho Love Yo' self

What makes an outfit? What makes someone fashionable or trendy? What part of the outfit makes heads turn? Some say the most important addition to any outfit is the hair, some say the shoes, and others believe its in the type of jeans you wear, how dope your shirt is, skirt, jacket, accessories, or the handbag, o the list goes on. But I am afraid if any of you thought of these "typical answers" first you were WRONG. The most important part to any outfit is the amount of confidence you have in it! In this fashion world you have to be a lion. Now there is a good lion and a bad lion. You can either be Mufasa who was a the most B.A. of them all, and I know some will try to argue the fact that he died early on in the movie, but I would like to remind those buffoons (sorry I get really touchy about my favorite movie) that he died for a cause he believed in... making him a hero in my book. OR you can choose to be the cowardly lion from The Wiz  who was as confident as the next guy, until the smallest bit of opposition arose, in which he would then lose every bit of backbone he owned, and turn into a whimpering-cowering little kitten.

 In order to make a transition from the Cowardly Lion to Mufasa you have to take a few very simple steps.

You don't have to be a celeb to reach this level of confidence!

1. HO LOVE YO' SELF. This is a simple concept, love yourself better longer stronger and harder then anyone in this world. Understand that you are one of a kind and the best you there is out there! My theater teacher once explained it to us like this: they could hire the best actor in the world, and he/she could study your movements your laugh your responses your facial expressions and gestures for years, they could gain or lose weight to try and match your body figure, take speech lessons to learn to speak the same... BUT even with all the training and research in the world no one would ever be able to play a better you then you! Remember that and be the best you that you can be, which should be easy if you love yourself, and these last few steps will fall right into place with little work.

This man has enough confidence to be confused with a celeb any day

2. Be confident in yourself. There is nothing worst then seeing someone in an AMAZING outfit that is wearing them instead of them  wearing it, people who let there clothes personality outshine their own. Buy clothes that elaborate on and compliment your personality. Now that does not mean if you are shy you must buy regular "boring" clothes or even that if you are loud and boisterous that you need to buy busy, outgoing outfits. No, it means that if you wear it then you need to know in your mind and soul that you can wear it better then anyone else out there!! Do not cancel out all the hard work, attention to detail, and creativity that you put into your outfit by selling yourself short in self confidence.

3. Now one of the most important things to remember is that with all great things come some bad. If you have talked yourself into loving yourself and being confident in yourself then this last part won't be too bad. The cons that comes with loving yourself and having confidence are haters. These people due to the lack of love for themselves and the lack of confidence, have no choice but to pull down those opposite of them and while you may wanna hit, scream, or shout, just remember they may haven't been granted to the same information you have. So take a deep breathe calm down and repeat these words to them  exactly, "Ho love yourself."
Sincerely yours,
