Ninety-three percent of what we communicate in our everyday lives is nonverbal, meaning our facial expressions, eye contact, the way we walk, body movement, the way in which we carry ourselves, the tone in our voice and the way we dress and look is all communicating something to those seven billion people.
Fashion, for me, is a way to show creativity, share passion, create inspiration, express confidence and show people who I am. Fashion is something that can be uniquely your own and uniquely personal.
In today’s world, everyone is so different (likes, talents, personalities), so there is a wide range and variety of style. Some people love dressing up, and some people prefer joggers and sneakers, and that is okay.
Something I have realized, is not everyone will love what you will wear. You may think it is really awesome and really cute, but someone else may see you and not understand or like what you’re wearing.
I used to take offense to this, but now not so much. If you love what you are wearing, you feel you look great and your outfit gives you a great energy and a positive spirit, then by all means go out and rock it!
Just by loving what you’re wearing, you’re communicating a sense of confidence, pride and understanding for who you are, and that is such a great thing the world needs to see. You may not realize you’re inspiring other people to be who they are, be creative with what they wear and communicate who they are with the world as well.
Fashion is a form of art that allows one to really be exactly who they want to be, try new things, keep it the same, test the limits or stay in their comfort zone. As long as one is communicating happiness and confidence through what they are wearing, then there is no better form of communication.
