Dare To Wear

Hanzky

Hanzky/ 11

Do you feel insecure to go all out when you’re dressing up? Are you afraid that people will think that you’re trying too hard to look good??

I just read an article in US Vogue September edition that talk about this topic and I thought that’s really interesting that makes me wonder if anyone here have felt the same way. You know the feeling when you’re done dressing up and when you look in the mirror you just feel too put together that makes you instantly take your jeweled stilettos off and slip into your peep toe flats instead? Or when you mess up your hair in purpose so you don’t look like you really care?? Or when you wipe the red lipstick just to take the edge off?.

Let me ask you this…..How many times do you buy special outfits that never seen the light of day? The silk blouse that has that wow effect, the dress that makes you feel like a million dollar, the gorgeous pencil skirt that guarantees a few turning heads when you wear it? They are still hanging in the closet. Your excuse? You’re still waiting for the right occasion..but that right occasion just never seem to come and you fall back into looking casual because it’s just easier.

It happens to me too..sometimes there’s just something that tells me not to waste a big effort into my appearance. I don’t go out looking like a train wreck but I can actually do much better had I put more effort and time into planning together my outfit. Often times, I also don’t put on some lipstick, just so I don’t look forced, or change the earrings into something simple to warrant a lesser attention. I don’t know why, but sometimes I just do..it’s always “I’m just going to the mall anyway”, or “I’ll put the lipstick on in the car”, but then I forget about it.
