I am not a fashionista by any stretch of imagination. In fact, most of the time, I am quite clueless as to what clothes would be flattering on my body type. There have been plenty of instances where my dress etiquette has been downright sloppy.
However, now that I am in my late twenties, I am more conscious while shopping and I make a lot more effort to pick out clothes, shoes and accessories that are fashionable while not sacrificing comfort. I do think that it is important to look good. It has nothing to do with being vain or narcissistic really. It is just taking the time to look after and feel good about oneself. After all, our choice of clothing does reflect our state of mind, attitude and thoughts towards a particular event, person or activity. Don't you agree?
We usually look at celebrities and envy them for their flawless appearance, slender figure and fabulous wardrobe but isn't it in their job description to look good? They have the best fitness trainers, dieticians, beauticians, stylists and designers at their beck and call so it's no wonder that they manage to look like a million bucks pretty much all the time. For regular women with careers, families and countless other responsibilities, the pressure to look good is real. But with the adequate fashion know-how, you and me can still look good minus the celebrity tag.
