The sweltering Oklahoma heat is already at 90+ degrees, meaning you are perspiring minutes after you get out of the shower and full out drenched in bodily fluids the second you walk outside, complete with frizz hair and an oilified face. But…how HOT are you? I’m not talking Fahrenheit or Celsius either. Do you know what’s hot this season and what’s not? Do you even care? If you don’t, you should and I’ll tell you why. As seemingly superficial as some people think fashion and personal style is or can be; I have a different philosophy. I believe in lifestyle dressing within a budget that your busy life will allow, especially with fuel prices and college tuition going through the roof. If you are a stay-at-home mom (the hardest, lowest paying and least appreciated career of all…you teachers come in second), a soccer mom, executive, entrepreneur or artist, it can be done. You can look “put together” all of the time with just a small investment of time and energy. Time + Energy = Results! What kind of first impression do you want to make? How do you want the world to portray you? Do you want to feel different on the inside? I am not saying style is paramount to spirituality, religion or overall well-being. Perhaps that is just an illusion thereof. Most people know that happiness and fulfillment are inside tasks. Filling yourself up with material things, most of the time, creates shame and guilt, like impulse buying. If you are unsure about something, don’t buy it. Put it on hold. If you are still thinking about that same item the next day or for many days ahead, then purchase it. Feeling good is also an outside task. How you define your style CAN change the way you feel on the inside. Fashion make-overs ARE life -changing. Skeptical? I have many testimonials to prove it. Try it. If you are unhappy with the results, you can always go back to baggy tee’s, jeans that are outdated and either too big or too short and Nike’s. Or, better yet, continue wearing the all black that you insist is slimming. To prove this concept, I am offering a complimentary fashion consultation, complete with one-on-one dressing room set up (by appt). This service is offered after hours, which saves you time and energy that you shouldn’t have to part with. For people braving the fast-paced lifestyle, curbside, home pick-up and deliveries are available as well. Every body type can wear any style or design. You just have to know how to dress for your body type, what separates to put together and in what ways to pull it in and pop color. The most important catch is the “BIG A.” ACCESSORIES! … The ultimate key to affordability while staying with the up-to-the-minute seasonal trends. What’s HOT and what’s NOT: Your T-Town Summer Style Guide COLOR, COLOR, COLOR! Please…push the black to the back! If you insist on wearing it, be sure to pop it with a pattern, metallic or bright hue of some sort. Yes, we all need the perfect lil’ black dress, but save it for a black tie event or a funeral: or better yet, when you’re dead. Let’s talk trends of the season, starting from the bottom and working our way up. Shoes: Separates/Denim: Dresses: Headwear/Handbags: So if you are stuck in your little fashion box or are somewhat style-deficient, then wake-up and re-create yourself! It doesn’t take much either. Help is out there…and complimentary at that. You have nothing to lose and only self-confidence to gain! _______________________________________ Kim Abdo |
