Why is it that heels make you feel just a little bit better? I just purchased a pair of peep toe booties. I practically became another person when I placed them on my feet. I actually gave my little miss muffet a bath while wearing them... (mostly I pranced around the bathroom in awe of how tall, confident and cheeky I felt!)
They made me want to bump in to an ex, all done up right... just so he'd think "damn she looks good." It made me want to text my man to tell him what a treat he was in for that night. Even typing this, just thinking of those peep toe boots, makes me want to play Ella Fitzgerald and french enhale.
In the end- the lesson is: Spend some effort in making yourself feel good. If a silly pair of shoes can make me want to work wall street... imagine what a pencil skirt and blouse could do!
My advice to you sweet girl:
1. Find a good tailor. Wear well fitted clothes.
2. Wash your face often. Invest in some good quality blush, concelear and mascara. That's all you will ever need.
3. Brush your teeth before you go out and before you go to bed. Drink plenty of water.
4. Invest in some gorgeous boots and comfy heels. Spend a little extra for quality. They'll last longer.
I am just learning how to dress right. I am not the most fashionable, however I am thinking more about it. The investment in a well thought of wardrobe is worth it. Don't buy too much, buy what feels right. Wear yourself with confidence. People will notice.
Confidence is the one quality I promise to give to you. It may not come easy or always, but I'll take that challenge to live it. I want you to feel it, absorb it, create it. Chin up, my love.
