STYLE

 

 Ladies does your age(30's, 40's, 50's), or your title(mom, grandmother, wife) dictate your style?
Do we allow certain categories determine what our clothing style is or what is considered age appropriate? I had a great conversation at work that I wanted to share with you.
    I feel that the way a person dress says a lot about them, but sometimes it seems that your style of clothing could be deceiving to others, I will explain. For some ladies their style of clothing makes them appear older than what they may be. It hides there sex appeal, conceals their beauty and labels them. Their clothing styles don't bring out the best in their style or beauty. Take myself for example, I wear a lot of button down sweaters for 2 reasons. First reason, I am always cold so my sweaters keep me warm especially at work because I am in an office environment. The second reason is that I like sweaters, they are cute, versatile, and come in many colors, and styles to be worn with just about anything. A comment was made to me by my husband as well as my boss about my choice of clothing(sweaters), it was pointed out to me that they are older looking and not as appealing as I thought they were. I have never thought of it that way, I just thought of them as being cute, and warm. This got me to thinking, how many of us wear clothing out of comfort not realizing that we are hiding or sacrificing that sexy part of ourselves.
    Now of course I could not have a blog titled Getting to Sexxy, without working on myself as well. I am not perfect and want to enhance my sexy side and continue to grow, love, and show off the beautiful woman I believe myself to be. I am a work in progress just like any other woman. We all want to be beautiful, sexy, empowering women who command attention(at least I do). I am open to feedback because sometimes others can see what you do not. My solution will be to up my wardrobe choices and look for blazers and jackets instead of my go-to sweater assortment. I took advice earlier this year and wear more heels to work instead of my go-to flats. I am still evolving and loving it.
     Do you feel like you have become to comfortable in your style? I have learned that sometimes we dressed according to what we believe is accurate based on our ages, our jobs, or our titles. Just because you are a stay-at-home mother does not mean sweats and no make-up is your uniform. A hospital worker does not have to limit their clothing to gym shoes, and scrubs or loose fitting clothing for comfort on their days off. I feel we all should step up our game, and evolve. By nature we are creatures of habit, but sometimes those habits can hinder us. Start stepping out of your box, whether it is switching from cotton panties to lace, or waking up putting on makeup with no place to go, start changing the way you do things and the way you see yourself.
