Prioritize Fashion

As we get older, fashion becomes a smaller priority in our lives. We allow our jobs, rent, relationships, financial concerns, and a myriad of other things dominate our lives. It's understandable. But, as a result, regardless of the legitimacies behind the reasons, we deny ourselves. At the end of the day, we're the only ones that can prioritize fashion back into our lives. It'll be hard, but life is hard. That shouldn't stop us from feeling good about ourselves. I'm not suggesting that we retreat back into the frivolous and materialistic world that consumed us in high school where our entire lives revolved around lipgloss, the perfect shade of lipstick, the perfect tan, and a kick ass wardrobe. But a little attention is good for us.

Beauty matters. That may sound like a desperate marketing gimmick, tempting people to indulge in their vanity for profitable gain. I can't in good conscious legitimately deny that, but there's more to this message than what's on the surface. Physical appearance is important to many of us. It makes us feel good about ourselves because a little attention enhances or improves our appearance. Additionally, making ourselves a priority is good for us emotionally. And I truly believe that it can make a difference in our outlooks. We develop and maintain regular habits that we exercise daily. Committing to something and having loyalty for things that make us feel good about ourselves are undeniably good for us but actually exercising commitment is also good. It gives us a sense of control in a world of unpredictable mayhem. People who feel that they have more control are more stable. By making time for yourself, you're saying, "I'm worth the attention." That perspective is going to transfer over in other aspects of your life. We see things in relative terms. If you won't take even fifteen minutes to pull yourself together, you're likely to deny yourself even greater things you deserve. Show yourself you're worth it in small increments, so you don't feel guilty about indulging. Ultimately, as frivolous as it is, when you peel away at our vain layer, we like feeling attractive. I'm not suggesting that you let it consume you. I'm suggesting that you do a little bit to make yourself feel better.
