Vow this New Year to love yourself

 “Elegance comes from being as beautiful inside as outside."- Coco Chanel


Ah 2014! It’s a brand new year. It’s time to start anew with resolutions to look better, feel better and change what you don’t like. 
STOP!!! 
Take a deep breath.
 Get out a piece of paper and list what you do like? What are your best features? What are your favorite things in your closet? What is constantly bringing you down when you pull it out and try it on.
Spend a few hours going through and ditch all those items that have someday written on them and live in the present.  I know how difficult it is I have a lot of clothes that say someday when I lose ten pounds or someday when I get the right color shirt for that outfit I will wear it and look fabulous. 
The sad thing is I’ve wasted a lot of some days which turned into years. I have a lot of clothes I never took back trying to have the perfect body to squeeze into those way too skinny jeans. 
So the most important thing about Styling is to love yourself first, love your body and don’t be intimidated!


Now is the time! Dress to highlight your assets instead of always comparing yourself to skinny magazine models, an unachievable goal for most of us. Who wants to be that skinny anyway? I am a foodie and I love it! Bones are not attractive.

Here are some pointers from Stylist Stacy London from a recent article in Shape Magazine whose mantra is dress your best today and every day.  Dress as if you have the body you long for.

  • Get rid of the baggy sweatpants.
  • Make fashion part of your journey not the final destination.
  •  Looking good is feeling good!
Some picks that make that journey easier include wrap dresses to cover and hide flaws, high-heeled colored pumps that add a little height, a statement necklace that draws attention to your face not your body, a great cashmere sweater that won’t add bulk but will gently caress your curves and boyfriend jeans that are relaxed and fit across your hips and thighs. Team them up with a tailored top and you are Styling in Delco!
