Feel good, Look good---part 2

Part 2 of 2 - check out my first post HERE if you missed it.... 

Let me try and paint a picture. Bear with me as my skills with this are not that good.

You see a young woman walking with those pretty heels you say at the store, she has on shorts that don’t really cover her bottom and a cut-off tank-top. Over exaggerated swag is incorporated into every step. And with all the make-up on her face you wonder how she really looks underneath.

Then behind her walks another girl, wearing jeans that are fitting but not a second skin, a shirt that is loose but attractive, her face free from make-up, no more than lip gloss and she has on boots. She walks with confidence, and seems happy.

Now, can you see them? What do you see?

I see that both of them do have confidence, but one seems more comfortable and at ease then the one hoping not to fall.

Which one would you choose to be? But please understand that I am not trying to pressure you into anything, this is just another opinion in a sea of them, but I would like it if you could stop and think.

Do I want to live for myself or others?

Do I want to display all of this (come on, be arrogant) just because all the other girls are doing it?

I’m not saying you should put layers upon layers, just be greedy with your body!

What you do think? I welcome your comment(s).

Feel Good, Look Good --- part 1

Part 1 of 2:

Okay, let me tell you now why I like to be modest in my clothing.

For the Fall. by thesamegirl featuring 18k yellow gold earrings

A lot of girls today seem really taken with booty shorts and plunging, tight low tops that leave nothing to the imagination. The typical teenage girl’s outfit, really. But I don’t want to be typical.

And there are so many other ways to: feel good about yourself, look good, and make an impression on others from a glance.

First, feeling good about yourself is only how you feel about yourself. If you’re thinking that you’re not pretty, or that you don’t look good in anything you try, you’re destined to fall before you stand. This is something my Dad and I try to tell my Mom, but she doesn’t know that she’s beautiful. Otherwise where did I get my looks?

Second, looking good is not skin deep. It’s in your attitude and the way you present yourself. If you are down and grumpy or snappy, people might always think you’re like that. Same with the way you walk. If you walk with tall pumps (not hating on high heels, which can look awesome) with your hips swinging out of control and your eyes half-closed and seductive, well, that just gives anyone looking at you the wrong idea.

Walk with confidence. Yes, you can strut how you want but be comfortable with it. Walk for yourself and no one else.

Third and last, people can make opinions all they want, but you honestly don’t have to give reason for a bad one. Your clothes make all the difference.
