How to Style Yourself ♥︎

As an aspiring stylist myself, I am still in the process of deciding for the things that I really want. I also have plans on styling other people and letting me choose outfits for them but before achieving that milestone, I must learn how to dress myself up first before putting my passion onto someone else’s. In this journey of becoming who and what I really am, I’ve learned a few basic necessities and tips on how to style and change your clothing game. I have here five (5) tips and tricks on how to stand out and how to make people turn their heads again to see your outfit for the second time around.

1. Do not get tired of exploring different ways of dressing up until you’ve finally chosen a style that you want. If you really want to change your looks then you should try wearing clothes that you haven’t tried wearing. Wear maxi dresses, chino pants, off shoulders, wide-leg trousers, ambel jeans, turtle-neck sweaters and whatever you want to try that you haven’t yet. There are tons of styles and ways on how to dress yourself up but don’t forget that when you’re just starting your game, you must stick with something that you��ll wear anytime anywhere. 

2. Do not be mindful of those who will judge your look and the way you dress. Trust me, it’s never gonna be easy especially when people around you aren’t fond of you wearing something different. A few people laughed at me because I wore a wide-leg trousers but that didn’t move me but instead, it has motivated me to really pursue becoming unique and not to adjust to what they want to see in me. If they laugh at you, just ignore them. In this game, you really have to master the art of deadma. They will soon realize that your looks are unique and they won’t bother you nor laugh at you the same way again.

3. Ready your pockets, purses and wallets. Just like moving into a new house, buying your new phone and other gadgets, styling yourself is never a cheap thing. It will cost you so much, not just money but also your time. The deciding part alone is really time-consuming. I do not suggest you to buy clothes from known brands because thrift shops are always open to cater you and they also offer beautiful clothes in good conditions but if you have extra money, why not spend some of it in brands like Zara, Uniqlo, H&M, Forever 21 (etc). 

4. Learn from the experts and be inspired with what they do. What should we do to the fire inside the fireplace to cause bigger and brighter flames? We add fuel to it. Just like in this game, you really have to put your effort to achieve your dreams. Learn for other people’s passion and live by it everyday. You can watch fashion vlogs or even live fashion shows, ask professionals and your stylist friends and many more. There’s no building if there’s no foundation and you have to build your own. 

5. When you started your game, don’t ever give up or lose heart in doing it. Of course, money is involved here, you’re gonna spend your time for your decisions, you have to go to different shops BUT always keep in mind that once you started that dream and stepping onto every single step of it, you have to really achieve it. It may seem so far away but I promise you, it’s better to keep moving than don’t move at all.
