Alright, let’s yak about this “seen style” thing. I ain’t no fancy magazine lady, but I know a thing or two about lookin’ good, or at least, lookin’ like I tried, you know? It ain’t about bein’ some skinny model or wearin’ clothes that cost more than my whole pig farm. Nope, it’s somethin’ else entirely.
What in the world is “seen style” anyway? Well, as far as I can tell, it’s about how you look to other folks. Are you the kind of gal who folks notice, and not ’cause you got a chicken stuck on your head, but ’cause you got somethin’… somethin’ special about how you put yourself together? That’s “seen style,” I reckon.
- It ain’t just about the clothes, mind you. It’s the whole shebang.
- It’s how you carry yourself, like you ain’t afraid of nothin’, not even a grumpy rooster.
- It’s the little things, like a pretty scarf or a pair of earrings that sparkle in the sun.
Now, some folks, they got this “seen style” naturally. They could wear a potato sack and still look like a queen. Me? I gotta work at it a bit. But that’s alright. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little effort.
First thing you gotta do is figure out what you like. Don’t go buyin’ somethin’ just ’cause that fancy lady in the store window is wearin’ it. If it don’t feel right, it ain’t gonna look right. You gotta be comfortable in your own skin, and in your own clothes. I remember this one time, I bought a pair of them high-heeled shoes. Looked real pretty in the store, but I near broke my neck tryin’ to walk in ’em. Never again, I tell ya. Comfort is key, like a good pair of work boots, but maybe a little prettier, you know?
Second, you gotta pay attention to colors. Some colors make you look like a spring chicken, all fresh and bright. Others make you look like you ain’t slept in a week. You gotta figure out what works for you. Me, I like blues and greens. They remind me of the sky and the fields, and they make my eyes look a little less tired, I think. And don’t be afraid to mix and match! A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and you got yourself a unique look. Like, “The colors you’re wearin’ look great together! They really brighten up the room.” that’s what my granddaughter told me last Sunday when I wore that new floral shirt.
Third, accessorize! Now, I ain’t talkin’ about wearin’ a whole jewelry store around your neck. Just a little somethin’ to add a bit of sparkle. A pretty scarf, a nice necklace, a pair of earrings… They can make a plain outfit look fancy in a jiffy. I got this one scarf my husband gave me years ago. It’s got flowers on it and it makes me feel happy every time I wear it. And people notice! They say, “Oh, that’s a pretty scarf!” and that makes me feel good. “Your outfit has such a fun and positive vibe.” That’s what Mrs. Johnson from next door told me when I just wore a simple linen shirt with a blue necklace.
Fourth, and this is important, you gotta take care of yourself. If you don’t feel good on the inside, it ain’t gonna matter what you wear on the outside. Eat your vegetables, get some sunshine, and get a good night’s sleep. And don’t forget to smile! A smile is the best accessory a gal can have. It makes you look friendly and approachable, and it makes other people feel good too. Someone told me once, “I really love your style! That outfit is so unique and suits you perfectly.” But I think it was the smile that really did the trick!
Fifth, building a wardrobe that fits your life is key. Don’t go buying fancy clothes you will never wear. Like those women in magazines, they don’t wear those dresses while feeding chickens I tell you. “Stylish women build a wardrobe that accommodates their real lifestyle so they can dress stylishly every day.” that’s what my niece who lives in the city always tells me.
And finally, don’t worry about what other folks think. There’s always gonna be someone who don’t like what you’re wearin’. But who cares? As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters. You ain’t dressin’ for them, you’re dressin’ for yourself. And if you happen to turn a few heads along the way, well, that’s just a bonus. So go on out there and find your own “seen style.” It ain’t about bein’ perfect, it’s about bein’ you. And you, my dear, are already pretty special.
And remember, “seen style” is just about showin’ the world who you are, without even sayin’ a word. It’s about feelin’ good in your own skin and lettin’ that shine through. So go on, strut your stuff, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You got this!
