Description of Style: My style shows who I am, and where I have come from! In what better way are we allowed to express our identity and deepest experiences, without saying a word? Style to me is a road that leads to an opportunity for the world to see who God has created me to be.
My style shows confidence, while providing the chance to lift up others. This confidence that I speak of was not easy to find. I journeyed through a dark road full of images of what society told me I should look like. But one day I finally saw myself the way God saw me, and that dark road began to lighten.
I can’t help but to reference to Yves Saint Laurent’s quote that states, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” Style is unique, and cannot be duplicated. Sometimes I like to wear jeans, a comfy tee-shirt and a baseball cap, other occasions I slip on a nice conservative skirt/slacks, collared blouse, while not forgetting the perfect pump of course! The interesting thing is, through creativity style is never lost.
My style is not what I wear, or even how well I wear it, but it’s the God given confidence on the inside. As a woman who has had many challenges with self-image, I have learned that I have the power to choose how people see me. The way I’m seen by others, often stems from the root of how I see myself. So I encourage every woman that may be experiencing difficult with appearance, to find your Confidence that will lead to your own personal STYLE!!
