PSA (Public STYLE Announcement)

It's been brought to my attention that a lot of people doubt themselves when it comes to a lot of new trends. I admit, I have too. It's totally normal.

But see people doubt and do not attack. But there is a secret to get through it.  Here is my secret for you:

YOU HAVE TO TRY IT ON FIRST!

You never know what the outcome could be. I mean, yeah, its one thing to not like a trend (which is fine) BUT to like a trend but refuse to try it because 'it wont look right'...NOT TODAY!

How will you know unless you try it. Take that dare, try it on. Now if it's on your body and it doesn't work, then yes I understand. You can like it from a distance. I've done it plenty of times. Its better for you to know for sure than not at all.

Being that it's now fall, trends are coming left and right so be prepared. Fall is a HUGE season for fashion and styling and it's important to stay on point.Personally, it's the best season.

I am challenging you to Challenge yourself!
Choose 3 daring trends for yourself and make them your own. You can tag me on Instagram (@StylishProportions); I would love to see them.

Let's make Fall 2014 a season to remember.

'til next post. Peace & Style.

Bee's Personal Style Facts

If you've been reading Stylish Proportions since the beginning, you may have noticed a few traditional trends within my style. Some more obvious than others. I definitely wanted to bring them out to you to show what most of my styles are centered around. Let's take a look

- The Bigger the Earring , the Happier I Am

It's no secret that I love big earrings!! I always have them on and it's sort of hard for me to step away. I love them, what more can I say. I noticed that they bring out something in my appearance and I just stick with them. I know that the bigger, the bolder and I just love what that does for me. 

You should see what I act like when I see some big statement earrings! Love at first sight might be an understatement.

-  I Do Not Wear A Lot Of Make-Up

Make-up can be very fun. I love watching YouTube tutorials all the time. For me personally, I'm not sure if I have enough patience for me to do it myself on my face (LOL). I have my own staple products I use, however, that does not include a foundation, concealer, blush, and highlighter. The most you may catch me with is eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, lip liner, lip gloss, and/or lipstick. Simple right. 

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against full faces of make-up. I know plenty of make-up artists. When they need a model I would be in first in line and I will be EXCITED! I just know for myself what my hands can do, make isn't exactly it.

- No Labels

Yes, I am one with a curvy stature. However, I do not label myself. When I say labels I'm saying as to identify myself as plus size or regular size or whatever size you can think of. Why don't I? Simply because of whats in my closet. I can't begin to tell you how many different sizes I have in my jungle of fabrics. Some are plus size and some aren't. If I can fit it, I will wear it. 

I support all sizes in this world, never singled one out. I put myself in the middle and support them evenly.

- Clearance

Whoever said clearance isn't good is a LIAR!! I love a great clearance rack. A lot of my clothes are from clearance (LOL). Most of the time when I go into a store I will walk straight to the clearance rack first. You never know what good finds are there. The only thing wrong is that sometimes you may not be able to show where it's from because it was on clearance.

Don't be scared to say 'This was on clearance'. It's nothing wrong with it. It's not for everybody but there is NOTHING wrong with a budget. :)

These are just a few facts.
Enjoy.

Peace and Style. xo

New Year, Focus on you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I hope you all brought in perfectly, had a great time, and looked Ahhhhhhhmazing!

We're already three days into 2014 and what a great feeling!! We all have these goals and let's stick with them. Let's all make this productive and challenge ourselves. Just like 2013 was over in a blink of an eye, 2014 will be the exact same. However, take note of 2013. "What did I do right", "What did I do right", "What do I want to do" are a few questions to ask yourself. Write them down or make a concept board. Create and Inspire (yourself, first).

I definitely wand to thank you ALL for the wonderful support and sticking with me through this journey. I'm growing more and coming with more ideas, thank you so much!

I wish you all greatness this year!

xo, Bee
