Don't let anyone dim your light
"Don't let anyone dim your light."
A few blog posts back I started discussing style bullies, which in my opinion is one of the top reasons why we don't see people wearing what they really want and/or love every day. Style bullies are everywhere... some of their comments can be more passive than aggressive, but nonetheless , it's still bullying. For instance, have you ever heard something like this: "Where are you going all dressed up like that?"
When you speak fashion, you do not only become fluent in a new language (which as with any language, expands your brain capacity); you realize its communication superpower. We could go even further and make an argument around compassion. But we will discuss that another day.
Why do people bully? They might feel powerless, they might feel insecure, they might be surrounded by bullies, etc... When you wear what you love, you not only show #confidence and #self-esteem, you show intention and effort to be your true self. When you are legitimate and real, you invite and encourage others to do the same. I don't know about you, but I want everyone to shine their own light and live their best life.
My dream for #Columbus is that our #community feels the power of fashion and experiences the freedom that comes from it!

Whatever your creative medium may be - you'll find that as long as you know what you're doing - it doesn't matter if you're designing clothes or you're marketing them - Fashion has always been an exciting field where one could truly find their passion! -
Let's celebrate National Fashion Day
Today is National Fashion Day, and we're celebrating by remembering some of the most iconic fashion moments in history. From Audrey Hepburn's little black dress to Marilyn Monroe's white halter dress, these looks have become timeless classics. From Coco Chanel to Elsa Schiaparelli, there are so many wonderful #fashiondesigner and #fashiondesign creations to admire all over the world and back many centuries.
And while fashion these days may often be associated with the glamorous world of celebrities, it's important to remember that fashion is a language for all people to speak. Whether you're dressing up for a special event or everyday wear, fashion is a way to express your feelings, your individuality, your creativity, and your message.
On this #NationalFashionDay, we encourage you to make an extra effort and listen to your inner voice, find your aesthetic, be true to yourself and have fun with fashion! . The moment you realize fashion as a platform, you become fluent in a new language, and you turn on your #Fashion #Superpower. Don't let any "style bully" change who you truly are, wear what you love every day!

#WearYourLove: Turning Your Fashion Superpower On
Wear Your Love: Turning Your Fashion Superpower on written by Priscila Teixeira.Talkingfashion is like talking about breathing — it's one of those things you need to do without thinking. And yet somehow it feels like it's become harder than ever before to make good style choices without feeling self-conscious or pressured by what others think..
.Our feelings around what we wear come from an inner voice that speaks louder when we're unhappy or feel out of place — these feelings then translate into thoughts and behaviors related to wearing clothes. We want you to start talking back to those thoughts, flip them around and remember that you are the only person who has a say in what you wear — if you're happy then dress the way you want!.Create an amazing wardrobe and stand tall knowing you're rocking your signature look!.Turn on your fashion superpower!Xoxo, Priscila
