Smart Question #10: Do you feel good and proud to be wearing it?
This is perhaps the single most important question you can ever ask yourself when you are browsing for clothes. Never mind if you can’t remember the other 9 – this is the one to sear into your brain. If you are not proud to wear something, there’s no point in owning it. Even if you’ve considered questions 1 through 9 and reach the conclusion of a beaming YES, don’t buy it if putting it on doesn’t make you feel flippin’ fantabulously. An item can be:
- affordable
- a dream addition to your current wardrobe
- great for mixing and matching
- an absolute classic
- worth its weight in gold
- of top notch quality
- a perfect fit
- flattering to your body
- so very unique to what you already own
BUT.. if you don’t feel comfortable enough to wear it PROUDLY, it’s a no cigar. Simple as that. We’ve all seen girls with tops too low and skirts too short trying to adjust themselves awkwardly every 5 seconds. How about people who wear things to impress certain crowds of people or portray an image they are not even comfortable with? Au contraire, something can be totally wrong for you in every imaginable and unimaginable way, but if wearing it makes you feel fierce, power to you! Clothing is just an extension of who you are. Be true to yourself. You are too wonderful to sport anything that makes you feel less than that.
Now get out there, shop (or not), and ROCK your clothes!
My wallet rejoices!! :]

how very true! I’ll have to memorize this one
