Personal Style

In this crazy materialistic world that we live in today, how's a girl to decide what to spend her money on and what to pass up?? The answer is simple: buy things that fit your very own personal style. By personal style I mean the style that was created for you by you, not what the magazines advertise or what the celebrities wear or what your friends have; your personal style should only cater to YOU. Don't invest in a Chanel because your best friend has one, don't buy Louboutins because Christina Aguilera swears by them, and don't buy clothes that looked awesome on your co-worker. Buy a purse because you absolutely cannot live without it, buy shoes that go with the rest of your closet, and save your closet space for items that YOU look hot in. If you always look to someone else for the next buy, you'll end up losing in the long run. Other people don't have you in mind when they shop so why should you have them in mind when you make your purchases?? Don't force yourself to like something just because everyone else says its beautiful, if you don't like it, you don't like and thats fine! You know your body and style the best so why not make yourself your very own personal stylist?? Have confidence in what you love and don't look for others to validate your choices, if they don't like it, thats great for them and for you! Another thing to avoid? Buying things just because its on sale, the store is having a special event, you get money back if you spend a certain amount of money, or the prices are going to increase in the near future. Anyway you look at it, you'll be spending money, whats saving a few bucks if you don't truly love what you buy? In the end, you'll waste more than you spend because those items will just sit in your closet collecting dust. Okay sorry for the tirade...I'll stop now cus I realize I could potentially go on forever...
