“The secret of great style is to feel good with what you wear.” 🤩
⠀
I used to be so insecure with my physical attributes.
I was born in an era where morena girls were bullied because we are said to be “too dark” for this country’s beauty standards. There were also those who kept telling me that my elbows and knees were dark and ugly. This is what I experienced in my childhood years. ⠀
When I became a teenager, I always wore black shirts so that I wouldn’t look too dark and would always partner it with jeans so that my dark knees were hidden. I was too scared to explore and wear other clothing pieces because I was worried that I’d be judged or laughed at.
⠀
As I grew older, I slowly accepted who I am and what I look like.
“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” - Psalm 139:14
This is how God made me. I am beautiful in His sight. 🥳
⠀
With this self-love and confidence, I truly love exploring the world of fashion. So now, the question is, “Why do I love fashion?” There’s more to fashion if you think deeper. With fashion, you can express yourself and stand out! Generally, you feel good when you look good. Wearing the right outfit can also make you feel strong and powerful. Remember, your positive attitude can be a good influence on other people too. ✨
Now, as I embraced the color of my skin, I would wear clothes that can make my morena skin stand out! I am also not scared to show my legs anymore.
Accepting oneself is really the key. 😚
⠀
Along with sharing my story, I would love to empower every man and woman who is now reading this. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU LOOK GOOD. YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE. Never compare yourself to others, YOU ARE UNIQUE. Don’t be afraid to explore. YOU ARE LOVED. 🤗

Let us all support each other. Empower each other. Care for each other 🌻
