OUTFIT | Red Sleeveless Blazer & White Skinny Jeans

Fashion says "me too", style says "only me." 

"Create your own style ... 
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?
