Side note: Keishisms are defined by the way I view the world, interpret, write, feel, etc.
I wanted to write a post about fashion, but to be honest my mind is NOT there which is odd for someone who has their storage space dedicated to shoes, their second bedroom closet dedicated to dresses, and a walk-in complete for two women to get through a month and never wear the same outfit twice.
I’m an amateur wannabe fashionista but what I’ve learned in the last two weeks; by no means am I a fashion writer.
I would rather talk about sisterhood and being an obsessed planner that embraces the universe. So let me tell you what happens when you tell your awesome followers that you are going to write about fashion in your next post – WRITER’S BLOCK.
Fast forward two weeks later, this is what I can share courtesy of the universe telling me to write this post while I was trying to sneak off into Oprah’s latest magazine this morning, aaaaand of course…. literally the first few pages in the magazine all about fashion.
>> YES, universe I get it!!! The next blog is about fashion!<<
Sooooo, here we are from head to toe, this is how I attempt to be the fashionista that I tell myself I am. It helps to tell yourself that you are a fashionista even when you may feel that you are not. Affirmations baby, they do wonders for you.
Seven Fashion Keishisms
In my teen years, I wore flower printed cords with polka dot shirts (see pic below), when I was in my early 20’s I wore inappropriate tacky trends (I thought I was cool, like most people in their twenties 🙂 ), and in my thirties I channeled my inner Oprah (basically, pretending that I have a stylist).
(Check out my shoe game!! I will choose to ignore the nylons at this point 😛 )
I looooooove fashion, not for what’s in style but because it makes me feel ways. Whether it’s comfy, strong, sexy, smart, powerful, I feel fashion. It’s how and why I choose to embrace that side of me as part of my everyday, like meditation, yoga, fitness, music, wine – it’s a part of my day.
As I prepare to get back to reading the O Magazine, and seeing as it’s what got me to this crossroad to share a fashion blog. Oprah asked her staff and contributors to the March magazine How Would You Describe Your Style in Three Words? Ladies, I would love to hear how you would describe your style in three words, or not – I’m actually just hoping you enjoyed this post because it totally took me out of my comfort zone this Sunday morning.
