The husband’s birthday is coming up this week. We stopped celebrating our birthdays a long time ago, including purchasing gifts for each other. This year, we went through something together that has proven life is short! I’m not quite ready to write about it yet, but the event has taught us to love each other even more and not to […]
…style starts with personal confidence. When you have that, you can basically wear whatever the hell you want. The 9th assignment in this Closet Confidence challenge has me writing about my style evolution from childhood to today. First Time Expressing Style I recall VERY vividly the first time I cared about what I was wearing. In kindergarten, it was time […]
As I attempt to explore and discover my personal style, sometimes it seems easier to start by determining things that are NOT my style. However, as I sit and give this list some thought, I’ve only come up with one item so far: ripped denim. I’m generally pretty opinionated about what I like or don’t like, so I felt it really unlikely […]
Fall is here in the YYC! A little too early for my liking, and a piece of me died inside once the cold front hit. What can you do, though, that’s Calgary, Canada for you! Today’s Closet Confidence challenge produced a lot of gut busting laughs! The challenge was to wear something that’s commonly considered a fashion no-go. I didn’t […]
My sister and I were blessed to have the opportunity to attend the Nick Jonas / Demi Lovato Future Now concert this past weekend. Seeing Demi perform live, I have such mad respect for her! Amazing voice. She opened up with “Confident” and I thought the lyrics in the hook would be the perfect title for this post. I’ve been […]
Today’s challenge asked me to write down 10 things in my life I am proud of. To be honest, I have been stuck in a thought block starting today’s post. In reality, this post has been sitting unfinished in Drafts for two days as I mull and try to organize what I want to say. This exercise did not come easy for me. […]
“…to fit in, please or cover up.” Day 4 of the Closet Confidence challenge asked me to look through my closet and get rid of clothes I bought to fit in, please or cover up. I actually completed a major closet edit/purge earlier this year, so looking through the closet again so soon to find items to purge was a […]
Have I mentioned that I love this Closet Confidence challenge!? I’m pretty sure I’ve conveyed my love for this challenge every single day…and it’s only Day 3. Hehe. I cannot believe how great I already feel about style and clothing. I was feeling incredibly lost and down prior to this week, so am welcoming the good vibes as a result […]
Continuing with my style challenge, next up in discovering my confidence was to ask a friend what she likes about my style. I ask my girlfriend at work this question, practically cringing in prep for the answer. “I like that you are not afraid of colour, and that you always go for fitted silhouettes. Your look is professional with a hint of […]
One reason I started this blog project was to understand fashion and style better for myself. I believe that this is one piece to reuniting myself with my confidence. As previously mentioned, I have done an insane amount of fashion blog perusing to pinpoint what looks I like and how to better develop and define my personal style. I discovered Alicia Winnett’s blog – Alicia […]
