The World is Your Runway...



On the wall of the store we have a quote, “Every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway. So, always dress your best and walk with confidence” (Coco Chanel). This quote did not find its way onto our wall by accident. I carefully went through hundreds of fashion quotes until I found the quotes that resonated most with me and what I wanted the store to express.
I truly believe in the philosophy that if you look your best you will, in turn, feel your best. Throw on a pair of stilettos and – though it may be painful - it will add some sass to your step. Put on some makeup and style your hair - your walk will become a lot more confident.
Now, I’m not sure if there are statistics to prove this, but I know for me it’s true. If you have work to get done at home, put on a nice outfit, shoes, or even underwear and you’ll be a lot more productive than if you’re lounging around in your sweatpants. Walk in to a business conference wearing a cute (but professional) blazer and some adorable shoes - you’ll probably shake a lot more hands and make a multitude more introductions.
For me, when I’m dressed to impress, I begin to impress even myself. When I don’t feel good about myself, I don’t feel any desire to show anyone else who I am. But, when I feel good about the way I look, I present myself in a completely different way.
So, put on some lipstick, style that hair, throw on some cute shoes or a nice pair of earrings- don’t worry about what anyone else thinks of you. It’s said that it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed. In my opinion ….dress for your confidence level. If what you’re wearing makes you feel confident, your personality and character will speak for themselves.
The world is your runway…so let’s start the show!
