Your image is your brand and you have only one opportunity to make that first impression. Choose to make a positive first impression.

Cindy Ann Peterson

Style means no shield at all. It means no front at all. Style means ultimate naturalness. It means one man alone with billions of men about.”

A wise friend once told me, ‘Don’t wear what fashion designers tell you to wear. Wear what _they_ wear.’ His point is that most designers, no matter what they throw onto the runway, favor simple, flattering pieces for themselves.

Tina Fey

What is style but a form of silent speech? When I put together an outfit to wear, I am putting together chapters of a story that needs to tell itself to the world in merely a minute! When I choose an outfit to wear, I am choosing a speech, a certain flow of mind-to-skin that is important to be understood. Style is the sentiment that I make without needing to speak to anyone and it’s also an internal conversation that I make with myself throughout the day, I share those intimate words every time I look into the mirror or every time I look at my photographs.

C. JoyBell
