DRESS TO EMPRESS

Dress to empress; the makings of a true Goddess.
A woman with great power and influence. Are we dressing to impress or empress? The difference between the two is more than just a letter.

Are we using our 'great power' to influence style or imitating and regurgitating styles already recognisable for social acceptance. Your true aim may be to be unique and distinct but in struggling and striving to achieve that, the sole purpose is lost and wasted on the norms of a confused society. I too am a victim captivated by the world around me, but I know I have the power to change that.
After all 'the impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way' -Marcus Aurelius. The only thing stopping you, is you.

Protect the opening of your mind, what you think is what you perceive, and what you perceive is what you become. Use your mind in a positive manner, don't let the boundaries cloud your judgement and chances to succeed.
Fashion is very much about storytelling, marking the changing seasons of any person's life and styling them through it.
Whether we like it or not what we wear is more than just clothes. We 'put on' and clothe ourselves to portray a different persona each day through what we wear.
What story are you trying to tell? Who or what does it involve? What does it say to others? These, amongst many other questions is what you should think about before you step outside. If you don't know the answer - find out.

This may not apply to everybody, some of you may wonder what I'm babbling on about but the truth is I myself don't understand why I felt obliged to write this, at 12am, staring at the screen of my phone, but hopefully somebody understands and appreciates my words.
