How does one become a Fashionista?

Hello Welcome to my Blog!  This is a place for fun fashion tips, trends and just things I find FABULOUS!

First let me tell you a bit about how I got to be a FASHIONISTA!

Since I was a little girl I found fashion to be a great thrill!  If you ask my mom she will tell you I had "my own style" from early on.  Apparently this caused many a fight as I would head out to school...."Are you wearing that??" YES! What's wrong with it!?  The worst incident was my fifth grade school picture...I had the coolest red and white Coke-A-Cola pullover shirt, I combined this with a tasteful strand of pearls, and wait for it... globe earrings..no not globe like shape, GLOBE like blue and and the countries marked in other primary colors.  The conversation went.. "Are you wearing that?" YES "Do you know it's picture day?" YES, I think I look nice! Mother said at that point it just wasn't worth the fight... This picture is still the center piece of family fodder... I wore that, one time I remember wearing a hot pink tank with my brother's camo pants, always trying different textures colors styles etc...  My best friend growing up was always dressed perfectly looking back as adults I said "I always envied you.  You were always dressed so well"  she turned to me and said "I always envied you because you were always so confident, I was scared to pick out my own clothes, scared to death I wouldn't match" 

 

So that's where a fashionista is born! Blazing her own trail!  I was so honored by my friends words, how great my mother was to let me wear my own thing, be my own woman even if that was in tacky globe earrings advertising a soda product.  In a lot of ways I am still that little girl always wanting to push the envelope, my profile picture for example I saw purple lips on Pintrest so I looked until I found just the right shade with my feathers in my hair...yep yesterday's Coke-A-Cola shirt is today's feathers and yesterday's globes are today's purple lips!

So these are things I like, I have come a long way baby and I hope I can blaze some more trails and let you know what I find - so you can blaze one with me!
