When it comes to style there are two types of people; The
Trendsetter and the Fashion Follower. It
is quite cool to know what celebrities are wearing and what's in at the moment
but should we follow these trends blindly or do we adapt them to fit our own
personal lifestyles? A fashion trend
setter enjoys putting fashion pieces together in a way that is different,
fresh and new. They always grab the attention of others because of their
unique style. They are daring, creative, imaginative, but yet original when it
comes to fashion. A trend setter always has followers as they are highly
admired for their great fashion sense.
A fashion trend follower looks toward others for the next big
fashion move. They appreciate the fashion ideas of trend setters and will
create those same ideas with their own wardrobe.
Fashion trend setters set the do's and don'ts of fashion while
fashion trend followers look for the next fashion do or fashion don't. Whether
a person is taking the fashion scene by surprise with their interesting
creations or wearing the latest pieces seen on their favorite entertainer
is still their own form of expression. It's okay to be either a fashion trend
setter or a fashion trend follower as long as a person is comfortable,
exude confidence and enjoy what they are wearing.
Street style is usually the mix of both but those who usually
catch out attention are those who have their own unique take on clothes
Being stylish consists of a complete package and goes beyond
what you're wearing. Here are a few
pointers to know if you are a fashion follow or fashion trendsetter.

It is said that a beautiful woman is one that is confident in the way she looks and feels. Feeling confident comes in truly loving what you look like in the moment. Wearing clothes that fit you properly provides comfort, accessorizing those clothes with something that makes you smile when you take that final look in the mirror, gives you the confidence you need which intern translates to beautiful. Forget the term “less is more”, the new term is “more is more”, stack gold necklaces on top of each other, stack a few bands on top of your engagement ring, add bangles on top of charm bracelets and cover a few fingers with large cocktail rings. You are today’s Marilyn Monroe, you are diva!
A trend is a style set by someone that gets followed by many, be the one, not the many. Be the person that understands what makes you comfortable, what makes you feel sexy, what really fits your style and follow it. Don’t ignore the popular trends out there, pick and choose the little pieces and ideas that you can translate into something you call your own.
Remember, you are beautiful, love the skin you’re in, dare to be different but most importantly, dare to be comfortable and confident, your comfort and your confidence is what makes you a trend setter not a follower.
