My 3 Deadly Sins of Fashion

1. Shopping Greed
I've fallen prey to this one, thanks Instagram. You go out shopping with your friends, get a couple steals, feel yourself in them and then pull up Instagram or look around to see someone else with what seems to be the next big thing. Immediately what you already have doesn't appear to matter so you're back to the clothes drawing board spending more coin than intended (which almost always comes back to bite you). DON'T BE FOOLED! Work with what you have! When you bought it, you felt good in it, savor that. Instagram and social media is becoming more of a competition especially for girls and women and hwat we really need to do is band together and hype up what we got. Wear the clothes, don't let the clothes wear you.

2. Clash Monster
I've seen makeup unblended and caky, clownish looking really, and it was bad enough. Imagine your whole "masterpiece" of a look coming out that way. What I do is stick to a color palette much like an eyeshadow palette, with the transition color base and accent colors, sometimes with additional pops of color to shake the look up.

3. Jealousy
This goes back and ties in with shopping greed. For me shopping greed stemmed from envy. I was jealous of the body type and how much "better" the clothes looked on them, jealous of the money spent, and jealous of the confidence, if I'm being honest. At some points I've gained that lump in my throat before he tears roll, because of another girls beauty and fashion expertise and that's embarrassing, and not like me. I can't do that anymore. We can't do that I should say, because more people compare themselves to people on Instagram and all it does is take away what makes us powerful and unique and THAT is what we need to be challenging. We are our own competition.
