Self-Esteem June 25, 2007

Filed under: Fashion/Beauty — askdesi @ 9:48 pm

Self-esteem is very important for your physical, psychological, and spiritual health.Life begins to take on greater beauty as we open up and appreciate ourselves. As we value and love ourselves, we gain an acceptance of others.

Self-esteem is something we can change and when we do, everything in our life changes. None of us deserve anything but the best, we’re all WORTH IT! We just don’t know it yet. Bottom Line? Enough is Enough! Time to stand up for yourself and gain RESPECT for yourself, and others!

What is Self Esteem ?

Self esteem is the opinion you have of yourself. It is based on your attitude to the following:

  • Your value as a person
  • The job you do
  • Your achievements
  • How you think others see you
  • Your purpose in life
  • Your place in the world
  • Your potential for success
  • Your strengths and weaknesses
  • Your social status and how you relate to others
  • Your independence or ability to stand on your own feet

Ever “over-think” about anything? Ever make decisions or choices based on what you think other people might think? Ever put up with nonsense or crap you know deep down you don’t deserve, but still put up with it anyway? Then you have Low Self-Esteem!

What is Low Self Esteem?

Low self esteem results from you having a poor self image caused by your attitude to one or more of the above. Example: you do not value the job you do highly or you feel you have no purpose in your life.

What is High Self Esteem?

High self esteem is the opposite! It is a very important aspect of your life. If you have a high level you will be confident, happy and sure of yourself. You would be highly motivated and have the right attitude to succeed.

Self esteem is therefore crucial to you and is a cornerstone of a positive attitude towards living.

 

Finding your clothing style based on Body type June 25, 2007

Filed under: Fashion/Beauty — askdesi @ 9:27 pm

All of us have trouble finding the perfect outfit that fits us right in all the right areas. Check out these simple Guidlines for finding your clothing style!

  • High collars shortens necks
  • Tight tops with short sleeves and breast pocket is detracting from your figure. Shoes with straps shortens your legs. The torso can be shortened or narrowed with seam lines, belts, bows, and collars.
  • A short necklace can shorten your neck.
  • A scarf or belt that hangs down toward the legs will make the legs appear longer. Knitted texture, lace, floras, prints, and plaids can assist in creating an illusion.
  • Thicker vertical lines in plaids lengthens and slims.
  • Wear a larger print where you want people to look and smaller print where you do not want them to look.
  • An all over print can camouflage figure problems, but prints here and there can create a fuller you.
  • Prints around the neck and over the shoulder can make your shoulders appear wider. Just wear prints near the parts of your figure’s assets, because they are usually more eye catching than a solid color.
  • When buying pants be sure they fit well. Defects are emphasized in a pair of pants that may go unnoticed in a skirt.

PETITE WOMEN

Petite women need to keep clothes in line, slim narrow belts. A slight contrast in colors and fitted lines will flatter you endlessly. Also stay with fabrics that are soft and flowing that fits well. Over powering prints should be avoided.

TALL WOMEN

Tall women can indulge in wide belts, avoid tight clothes and skirts that are to short or to long. Beauty expert Stephanie Faber recommends tall women play down their waist by wearing their blouses over the pants and skirts and avoid tight belts.

HEAVY-HIP TRIANGLE SHAPE

A hip heavy triangle and round full figured women can use clothes with vertical lines to make an up and down illusion. V-necks and skirts with slits up the sides are also good. Clothes with small padded shoulders should be chosen . Too big of pads will make you look like a foot ball player. Wear long tops that go passed your hips. Choose jackets, tailored suits and shirtwaist dresses with straight, classic cuts. Lighter colors on top can be worn, this brings eyes up. Wear dark stockings and avoid patterns. Select vertical, fluid patterns and avoid bulky fabrics. Adopt the just below the knee look in dresses and skirts. Choose accessories close to the same color clothes you are wearing including shoes. This gives your body an unbroken slimmer look. Avoid very wide pinafore skirts. Stay with straight or Aline skirts.

TOP HEAVY WOMEN

The top heavy body types need to choose long jackets without shoulder pads. Do not wear blouses with fancy details and ruffles. Do not wear clingy fabrics on top, choose darker colors on top. Do not wear tops that are to light. Tops with dolman or raglan sleeves and ones that fit loose and slims down to hug the hips and waist are good. Wear pants or skirts that are pleated to bring the eye down. Choose thin materials like cotton, or cotton jersey. One color dressing will also be thinning. Flat shoes are best unless you are short, then wear heels. If your legs are in good shape shorter hem lengths will draw attention away from your top.

RECTANGULAR SHAPED WOMEN

The rectangular type can accentuate curves by wearing jackets or tops that hug the waist, feminine thick sweaters over skirts or pants. Use patterns in your tops or bottoms to add dimension. Round out the neckline with necklaces, scarves and other accessories, and use shoulder pads.
