Heidi Klum sept_08_2009

Being confident in your personal style is key to looking and feeling great. With the runway dictating what trends we should be wearing every season, it’s tricky to figure out what works for you and still be one fashionable mama!

Glamor Magazine, November 2009 issue, has a great article called “The Seven Different Kinds of Confidence Every Woman Needs“. Super model, business success and mom of 4, Heidi Klum contributes how to have confidence in your style. I think you may be pleasantly surprised by the advice she gives. Having style confidence is easy!

“The first step to having fashion confidence is simpler that you might think: Know yourself. Don’t follow the trends; follow your instincts. A fashionable woman wears the clothes; a fashion victim lets the clothes wear her! So choose a few basic pieces that are flattering to your figure, clothes that you feel good in. And since some people are naturally more flamboyant, and some are quieter, don’t try to be the opposite of what you are- embrace your body and your spirit. Then, when you’re ready to take your style up a notch, step out of your comfort zone a bit with an accessory or just one piece that’s you but more- more sophisticated, more rock ‘n’ roll, more feminine, more of whatever you’d like your style to be.

I think fashion should be fun, and I”m willing to take risks. Sometimes that means others don’t like what I wear, but as long as I’m being true to myself, I don’t care.

When I”m not feeling as confident as I’d like, I have two secret weapons: One, I wear super-high heels. They always make you look more sexy and even change your posture and the way you walk. (Just make sure you can actually walk in them!) Two, I always smile. It’s the best accessory, and most times, people smile back.”
