I think now would be a perfect time to talk about her sense of style. Now of my family, I am definitely the most fashion conscious and fashion forward (some of my sisters like to think they are... but they're not) though my siblings do have wonderful sense's of personal style which is something I will push over and over again on this blog. For example, my sister Hayley has an incredible beach style. She's hip, she's cool, she's calm, and she HAS style. I saw her a few days ago in California as we prepared for the birth of our new niece, Abygail Grace Maxson, and I noticed her color combinations of brown, salmon, white and a pair of denim jeans the way they were meant to look. I couldn't believe that I had never noticed it before. That I had thought, for whatever reason, that the fashion gods had only given me a sense of style and an eye for fashion. But lo-and behold my young, professional sister bringing this color combo into the mix so well, so effortlessly and with the fabric that hung the way it was supposed to.
This made me think- which isn't that hard to do, but still- and I realized that this combinations could really work on anyone and the cut and fabric should come this way for everyone. So my style tips for this day on this occasion include the following:
1. Find your PERSONAL style and follow it. This may take weeks, months or even years, but its worth it for you to show everyone who you are before they even meet you.
2. Experiment with color combinations and patterns. Something may come out wrong & some things may really come out wrong, but it will push you in the right direction until you know what is an isn't your taste and what is and what isn't a funky cool look.
3. Always stay true to yourself. My sister has always been the person I described and she's held true to that & it has paid off in innumerable ways.
& 4. Have fun with your clothes and with your life, make every item and extension of your self, your mood, your idea, whatever. Just make it you.
