I think about writing this a lot and then never get around to it. Well, on this first day of summer, I'm sitting down to write some very profound words of wisdom and I'm asking you to think about them and then and go and do something with them. It's going to be amazing ... promise!
It's simply the act of giving someone a compliment. I know, it sounds scary and you might ask yourself why but when you do it, you will wonder why it took you so long.
Receiving a compliment is so nice but giving one out, in my opinion, is even nicer. It's kinda like when you were in elementary school and you got to pick a friend to sit with on the bus. It makes you happy, even giddy and you can't stop smiling and feeling good about life. It's unexpected and comes from the most genuine of places.
On a regular basis, I see some really cute women floating around Kelowna. They put some effort into their outfit and sometimes, that is really hard to do. We get so used to hanging out in the same clothes and throwing on what is most comfortable. It takes a little bit of courage to pull off something that you adore but haven't had a chance to wear.
Today would be a day I feel like I kinda stepped outside of my comfort zone. Jeans and cute tops, I have no problem with but I fell in love with a dress months ago, purchased it and then it has sat mocking me in my closet ever since. It's bold and has a very ethnic tone to it but I loved the boho inspiration and I couldn't pass it by. Today was the day I put her on and I feel really pretty in it. Exactly how I imagined I would feel.
I don't think everyone feels my sentiment on this piece but ... so what!! It's how you feel, how you carry yourself and how high you lift your head. Own your look and don't second guess it. Chances might be that you are the only one paying attention to how out of your comfort zone it might be. To everyone else, you look pretty spectacular.
I think I've just come to realize that if you just want to wear something that you adore, then you should. Why stop yourself from being amazing you! Life is short so why not be the girl you wish you were. We would love to help you get there and who knows, you might even receive a compliment.
