Could I Pull That Off?

“I couldn’t pull that off” - How many times have we heard this ladies?

Either from our own mouths, or a friend's. The phrase feels self-deprecating - as though we don’t have what it takes to express a super cute outfit. What if, instead, we simply said: “She’s dressed in a way that embodies her personality, I can feel the authenticity of what she’s wearing, and the fact that she loves and feels comfortable in the outfit” (It’s a little lengthy, granted, but you get the idea.) 

Sure, you might not look great in that particular ensemble, but it’s not because you can’t “pull it off” - it’s simply because it wouldn’t feel authentic to you.

We shine when we wear what we love, what feels like an extension of our spirit, when we’re having fun with what we’re wearing.

This look is completely different for everyone - so the next time you’re tempted to make it about comparison, as we all can do at times - choose celebration! Celebrate that the spirit of that girl is shining, and know that you can, and will, choose to let yours shine as well! Happy dressing!
