Fashion

Those who know me, must surely know that I looooooooooooove fashion. And, unfortunately for me and my bank balance.....I always seem to fall in love with the highest priced item, before realising it is the highest priced item that is ;-).

Anyway, I was just wondering, do I and others potentially derive too much of our confidence at times from the clothes we wear? We all love to feel good about ourselves, nothing wrong in that. When I look in the mirror, and see a good looking, well put together outfit staring back at me, it brings a smile to my face and a bounce to my step. And then off I hop!

Sometimes though....I notice that I can leave the house feeling a million dollars...and then notice a gorgeous looking individual and I wrongly (but before I can stop myself) compare myself to that person.....the end result being that my confidence is diminished. Was the "confidence" I felt when I originally looked in the mirror misplaced......or is it that I lacked the self belief to continue to believe in the fact that indeed I looked, and still look good?

The whole idea makes me think about confidence, self belief  and how the root of such positive values needs to come from within. However, this will not stop me loving fashion and it is no harm to feel good, when you look good in a new clothes ensemble. Added bonus.
