When you are overweight, it is hard to find a style icon; it is hard to find stylish clothes the fit you. If you would walk into any of those cutsie botiques, you would rarely if at all find clothes the fit oversized women. So for me it was really hard finding a style icon to fit my body. For most of my life I have been self conscious about my body and lacked the confidence needed to advance in life. I remember at a young child going shopping with my mom and sister; my sister, though I love her and now she is my best friend, would in a matter of 5 minutes or less would have a pile of clothes stacked way about her head. I on the other hand would have nothing.
In and high school and most of the college years, I still lacked confidence. But as the years went by I learned, with the help of my sister, how to dress my body.
Now as I am losing the weight, I am becoming a little bit of a
FASHIONISTA. I am beginning to love clothes and heals (I still am practicing on how to walk in them). I now have many Fashion Icons.
The first is Audrey Hepburn.
To me, this woman is one of the most classic beauties that this word has every had. She has the grace of one of the most perfect women. She had the beauty but also had the brains and a wonderful since of humor.
The second was Grace Kelly, another classic beauty. She was an award winning actress who became a princess. What girl wouldn't dream of becoming a princess?
Now it is time for my modern style icons; they are Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, and Idol Alum Carrie Underwood.
These three women are beautiful and have a great since of style; they too know how to dress their bodies.
