Who Doesn’t Love Taylor Swift? Now I love her even more…

Who Doesn't Love Taylor Swift?

“Here’s the thing: Every girl, every woman, has different priorities, different things that make them feel powerful or strong or sexy, or special, or unique.  It’s just so strange to think that we would all have the same triggers, the same priorities, we’d all have the same definitions of fun.” -Taylor Swift in Elle, June 2016

I love you Taylor Swift for placing before us, like a gift, a description of the various and delightful differences that exist in all women.  We’re not the same and it’s gorgeous.  And allow me please, to add that every girl and woman differs in the colors in her hair and skin and eyes, she’s unique in her shape and her personal style. It’s totally cool that we all have different definitions of what’s stylish, powerful, sexy or strong!

And that moment when a woman finds an outfit that’s just right for her own body, her colors and her desires is so awesome!  I’ve seen a woman strike a little pose or throw back her shoulders with total confidence and satisfaction. The pants are perfect she thinks as they hug her curves.  Or another one says, these jeans are just right the way they suit my straight lines.  Taylor Swift calls it perfectly, that every women or girl is unique and each has a different way of looking powerhouse, in-charge or sexy.

What’s sexy to you?  Is it a color like midnight black, outrageous red or shimmering gold?  Maybe sexy to you is something less overt like a close-fitted Armani jacket that outlines your figure stunningly and only reveals a little bit of cleavage. Or maybe sexy is a sun-filled beach day in cut-offs and a bikini top.

Which clothes fortify your radiance and power or make you feel unstoppable?  My grandmother Pearl strutted in her red blazer when she knew she had a meeting at work with the head of her department.   Other women feel righteous wearing black four inch heels with a pointed toe.  Other women swear by the close weave and flattering fit of a Theory pant suit in dark indigo blue.

And what do you wear to fortify your strength?  Is it a cowboy boot, scuffed and worn in the heel that’s great for coming through the door with a little noise?  How about a superbly-made handbag that subtly reminds others of your good taste and polish?  Maybe your close-knit, black turtleneck gives you leanness and length and adds to your authority.

It’s not the clothes that make a difference.  It’s the unique way that boot or black sweater honors your own kind of power, sexiness or strength when you wear it that’s important.  It’s knowing what’s fun for you and wearing an awesome little ensemble to wear while you’re out there.

    Hi, Kerry!
    I’m a fashion stylist and communications consultant, and I appreciate so much what you say. When you get to see a myriad of clients with their different shapes, skin tones, hair, and personalities, you get to know how many ways a woman can be beautiful. It feels wonderful to be able to help a woman highlight her beautiful eyes, hair, skin, and/or shape and to help translate the beauty within into a look everyone can see.
    Thanks for the post!
