Fashion is art. Fashion is an expression. When we wake up in the morning our emotions determine the outfit of the day. I like to look at fashion as our shield to represent who we are while telling our story. What we wear expresses who we are in so many ways. No matter the obstacle you experience in life make sure you own who you are.

We made it to 2021! The year of curiosity. I had conversations with a few people and some had  no hope “this year will be the same as 2020” and there were a few people who said “this is a new year let's go all in and forget about the past. For me this year started off rocky and I almost became doubtful but I had to check myself. Life experiences are not thrown at you to break you but to help build your character. Sometimes we go through things and think we’re the target. As you continue to progress in life you come across different challenges. You know the saying “more money more problems” I like to look at life that way. The more I progress the more hurdles I will come across in order to get to the next phase. 

Every journey comes with an obstacle big or small no matter the stage of life. These obstacles come in many different forms such as deaths, relationship problems, adjusting to living in a new city, adapting as a new parent, finance issues, etc. Whatever obstacle you may face we all come across emotions that may feel impossible to overcome. You can’t give up. Accept the emotion find ways to deal with it so it doesn't overwhelm you. This is where self-care plays a major role. Take care of your mental and physical space so when you come across obstacles you have a strategy to help you get through them. Shifting your mindset and focusing on what you can control will help you to relieve that stress.
