Daring to look different

Having a big event coming up and yet you haven’t wrapped your mind around what exactly you want to wear?
You know in your mind, you want to look unique but you are finding it hard to settle to a style that will embody everything you wish to achieve. Fret not, because there is a trick that will help you crack this with just a little bit effort. Sticking to your uniqueness and daring to be different!
Being unique actually matters a lot, and will save you a lot of time thinking and browsing the internet looking for what to wear.

Your own style
For big events such as weddings, people tend to put their personal preferences on the backside. It is healthy to seek advice and tips elsewhere, but don’t let anyone/anything else run the entire show apart from you. If you are the kind of woman who would never wear an open back dress or blouse, don’t do it on your big day. It doesn’t matter what is trending; you don’t have to be like everyone else. Your personal style is very important.

No one forgot the day Anita Fabiola showed up at a fashion event wearing a face mask.

Practical ways to stand out

With the following tips in mind, you will easily and effectively choose an outfit that will make you stand out from the crowd. Break the norm, and you never know you might even inspire a new trend amongst your peers.
1. Impress you
The focal point of choosing the outfit should be making you feel good and beautiful. Don’t be afraid of choosing an outfit that is bizarre, if it is what excites you. The most memorable outfits we see at red carpet events are usually the unconventional ones. And, shortly after, they become the trends of the next season. Your individuality matters a lot, and it’s what will set you apart.
2. Be true, authentic and real
Are you fun, exciting, quirky, sophisticated or eclectic? Create a wardrobe that is really you by sticking to everything you are. Choose colours you love, styling tricks that excite you and cuts that feel comfortable on your body. There’s no point in wearing something that is not you. Your individuality will shine through so easily.
3. Go to a tailor
While others run to boutiques to buy outfits off the rack, pay your tailor a visit. A good tailor is every fashionista’s best friend. There are a number of packs of taking this route. With a tailor, you’ll have the creative freedom to choose what should be and not be on the outfit. They can as well alter something you find boring and infuse your personality thus making it the exciting outfit you envisioned.
4. Seek inspiration from the past
With the obsession with trends everyone has, the idea of seeking inspiration from what is in history is a lot more exciting. What is better than picking styles from the 70s and 80s. You will find unique pieces that are probably not on the market anymore.
