Fashion Cassettes Side B: Getting Through The Storm

Both literally and figuratively speaking there are certain types of fashion selections that help me get through those stormy days. You know what I’m talking about! Whether it be a day filled with an incessant downpour or even those moments of feeling slightly irritable from mere situations of life. There is always something about fashion and art that I take away with me making it my own style-inspired demo. 

Sounds like …

The beat would drop in an in your face Swarovski way of course, and punchy soundbites of platform struts would slowly fade in …

 

Oh yes, a soul-lifter, a smile maker, and sparkled embrace it would be: I would grasp it and let the style potion run its course! The result is typically an inspiring air that radiates throughout whatever room I am in.

So, I thought that I would be so kind to grace you with a few fashion pick me ups, which are diverse types of inspiration that helps me get through the storms. A partial ode to followup from my fashion cassettes mixtape if you will. Enjoy!

For those times … 

When your loved one is away: If you have an ultra-busy schedule like me then you may not be able to spend as much time with your significant other as you want, so cherishing precious and playful moments are even more important. However, when they’re away there is still plenty of fun things to do!

Pull out a spectacular outfit from your closet and round up the girls for a night on the town! Every lady needs a fun party dress or even an over the top style that’s perfect for such an occasion! This is truly a winner and an excellent mood booster! Especially, if all of your best gals don’t get a chance to hang out very often. My friends and I generally have a fun dinner party twice a year where we come together from whatever location we’re in, dressed glamorous and with no time constraints!

Inspiring

When it’s raining outside: perhaps a cold chill is in the air, and you feel like it could not be more relaxing. Your eyes are engrossed in your favourite book, you’re covered with a luxurious blanket, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window pane simply gives you that good ol’ cuddly feeling inside. You know special tunes are required. Create your custom playlist or get inspired with soft melodies of rainy days.

 -In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

                              -Albert Einstein   

When you’re going through a life storm: one that seems like everything is impossible, try reading inspirational words and center yourself around positive people. This is definitely easier said than done, but I will tell you it truly works! We’ve all been there … in times of turmoil or feeling a bit dispirited. There may be moments when it merely feels like it’s pointless!

These daily affirmations and uplifting words will create a powerful shake of inspiration and soon you will be the one inspiring others during their moments, and without even trying to. Go ahead, embed optimism in your life!

    Man, you have a really fantastic style of writing. It's almost a form of poetry, and was really really enjoyable to read. 

    Such great pick me ups here. That white dress is out of this world gorgeous. It's so sexy, but really feminine and classic at the same time. 

    I totally need that rainy day advice too! It's raining like crazy here in Paris and I seriously am going out of my mind. You remind me I just need to chill, embrace the moment, and persist. 

    You've got an exceptionally unique blog. Love it.
