“Stepping out of the box”

Pants: Ola’mair

Shirt: Amazon 

    It’s so easy to fall into patterns in fashion that make us feel safe. Everyone has their favorite jeans, top or little black dress that makes them comfortable. We lean into the same colors and patterns time and time again. We stick to what makes us feel safe.  I’m just as guilty as everyone else. While there isn’t anything wrong with that, sometimes it is empowering to step out of the box. 

    Recently, a friend pulled these pants and suggested I try them on. My first impression was to gracefully decline but then decided I was going in to the dressing room anyway. The moment I put them on, I was in love! The cut was amazing and they had a great “feel” to them.  Moreover, it wasn’t just how I looked in them, it was how I felt in them. Maybe it was the bold pattern, or maybe it was because I tried something new but I noticed I held my head a little higher and stood a little taller when I put them on. 

    It may seem a little silly,  but I think we can all admit the right outfit can change your mood and boost your confidence.  Maybe it’s a bright and colorful accessory or maybe it’s an entire outfit but sometimes the small changes we make in life can lead to the big ones. So when in doubt,  buy the pants!
