Seeing, feeling, thinking, believing - these are the stages of how we change our style on the outside and our self-image on the inside.
I really do believe that my style is informed by the fact that I had such issues with my appearance at various times of my life.
I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.
Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.
What is magical and mystifying to me about style is not that by seeing we can believe. It is that eventually, we can believe, because we can see we can embrace change the more we can make it tangible.
I think that the way to have style is to accept where your body is right now, heavier or skinnier, whether you're going to change in the future and dress it as it is. The fact is you can always find clothes. It may be harder for plus sized people, I completely understand that. But I don't believe that it's impossible to dress with style.
Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.
Don't get hung up on the size. If you feel bad about yourself because a 12 is what fits, take a Sharpie, and write '6' on the label.
A lot of women don't realize that even a small heel helps you throw your shoulders back and keep your chest up; it really does make a difference in the way you present yourself. It changes your posture and makes you look more confident.
Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.
I think style is very different from fashion. Fashion was what I went after when I was feeling incredibly insecure and monstrous on the inside.
I'm not as snarky as I used to be.
Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.
Nothing's too girly and nothing's too masculine. But I do love color, and maybe that's a little girly - especially pink.
