An Ideal Sense of Style

What defines an ideal sense of style?  Who defines an ideal sense of style?  Have you ever seen a woman in an outfit that you thought was ugly or right on point?  By now I hope you have caught on to the notion that an ideal sense of style is determined by each woman.  The type of style that any woman decides to model should ultimately be left up to her.  Yes, there is a place and time for suggestions, but that should not be the final say; women are entitled to what they want to wear and how they want to look.

This, however, does not mean any and everything is appropriate for different occasions.  For example, what you would wear to a job interview should be different than what you would wear out to dinner.  I am not suggesting that you cannot incorporate your personal style into your everyday look.  Instead, you must know how to tactfully blend it with the appropriate style for that specific occasion.  For instance, there are certain functions at which you do not want to appear either under or overdressed. But there is always a way to twist a style and make it as unique as yourself.

In essence, there is no ideal sense of style.  Just like there is an ideal woman in every woman, every woman also has an ideal sense of style.  The flare and flavor of each individualistic style is one of the things that make women very unique.  My prayer for every woman is to be proud of her individual style.  Do not be afraid to try out new things and explore other possibilities; what is the worst that could happen?  If you happen to not like the new things you try, it is ok.  Keep your individualistic ideal sense of style alive.

My Hair Doesn’t Define Me

So, as women, how many times are we judged or defined by our hairstyles?  It is as if the types of hairstyle we have spell out the women that we are.  Certain hairdos have either a positive or negative connotation.  I don’t believe a hairstyle should define any woman.  It’s very shallow to identify a woman’s worth and strength based on her hair.  Hairstyles I believe should enhance a woman’s already God-given beauty, but it shouldn’t be grounds to determine a woman’s worth.  Our self-worth must be found in God.

The responsibilities placed on women can sometimes be pressuring.    For instance, women with short hair are sometimes given   different treatments compared to those with long hair.  Just because a woman has short, long, or any type of hair doesn’t make her any more or less of a woman.  It’s so easy to get caught up in the hype of what others expect of you.  Women should be given the opportunity to express their individuality; with that individuality comes different hair types that accentuate each woman, but does not define her.

Beauty, is truly skin deep and growth is of importance when it comes to a woman’s development.    

As individuals, we ought to set the standards for ourselves.  No one can make you feel inferior unless you allow it to happen.  Take control of your life and be the woman you desire to be.  When it’s all said and done, your hair does not and should not define your womanhood.
