Fashion says "me too", style says "only me."
"Create your own style ...
Let it be unique for yourself &
Let it be unique for yourself &
yet identifiable for others." Anna Wintour

I totally agree with Anna, except for the identifiable part.
Let me explain: for years I've followed many fashion rules.
- don't wear horizontal stripes
it makes you look larger than you are
- stay away from white
- befriend all A-line shapes
and so on.
I did this to fit in, to not be visible.
I thought if I blend in with the crowd,
I would be less likely to be picked on.
For some time, it worked perfectly for me.
Till I started really paying attention
to my inner voice and my needs.
Conclusion?! I was unhappy. I felt restraint.
I wasn't showing my heart through my fashion.
Hence: the emotionsista credo was born.
These past 5 years I've been on a journey.
A journey to stand still. To stay close to my heart.
To really listen.
This means I will not be a people pleaser.
I will get noticed, because I'm not blendable.
But I will feel free.
Free to be my own.
Free to wear what I like.
Free to play with fashion.
Free to create my own style.
How about you?
