Dressing for an event is not just for celebrities, we have all had to do it at some point, whether it was your sweet 16th, your graduation or a friends wedding, that undeniable stress arises......
For a lot of women, having to style theirselves for such an event makes something that is usually fun, very stressful. It's suddenly not about what you fancy, its about what you need, you have to fight unflattering fitting room lights, unhelpful sales assistants, raking endlessly through a sale rail, in the hope you will get a fabulous designer item at a more high street price, and don't get me started on accessories!
I've recently found through personal experience, that a dress size is but a mere number, simple as that. If you have to buy a special dress for an important event, or shopping for 'a little bit of what you fancy', buy what suits your body shape. Whether you are a girl who used to be a size 12 and now needs an 16 or someone who used to be a size 16 but now wears a 24, if you buy for your body shape and take your time perusing the rails, shopping all of a sudden becomes fun again!
Every women is beautiful, period!
I have a 3 day wedding on the horizon and I've had to style myself for all 3 events, I found that once I stopped stressing about my size and relaxed, I found the most gorgeous dresses, and I'm recycling some vintage accessories I have in my wardrobe, as always with style!
For my girls....
Next time you walk into a shop, don't hide behind the rails hoping no-one catches you looking at a bigger size, or don't sit in the corner of a fitting room upset because the size that used to fit you now won't go over your hips. Smile really wide, hold your head up and enjoy it like it was your 16th on Saturday night!
Remember girls, always with style!
