During the hours of 8-4 I educate teenagers. Let’s be honest, educators as a whole are not known for their sense of style. Compassionate? Yes! Dedicated? Yes! Fashion plate? Not so much. Since last August I’ve worn a t-shirt and jeans everyday unless an important meeting popped up on my Outlook tasks…this my friends…must stop. Allow me to explain why…

Our sense of style is one of the only things over which we have complete control. It has the ability to communicate who you are before you even speak a word. It is an external message of your internal self esteem quotient. It is…quite simply…you expressed in a physical form. In this definition of style our choices are more important because they literally have the opportunity to dictate how we feel. I posit that style is more than a choice of clothes; it is choosing to be creatively, individually, and brazenly you without apology from your choice of vernacular to career to shoes to hairstyle and beyond. All of these factors contribute to the genuine article of personal style that we observe in each other every day.

If my theory is true it makes me wonder what we seek to express when we get dressed. I think I’m screaming overwhelmed! I can admit that these days I’m so busy trying my best in the mornings to get to work on time with plans, grades, and sanity intact that I forget about style and go for ease. However, this is going to change. Two weeks outside of my 28th birthday I’ve decided it’s time to woman up. I’m not talking about fulfilling some societal belief of how a woman should dress; I’m speaking of showcasing on the outside the passionate and genuine woman that is inside. It’s as simple as paying attention because every morning I have the choice to blend or not to blend. I’m choosing to be unapologetically CassandraDione and that is something that will turn heads simply because I’m the only me on earth. So this is for those of you that feel like you’re on point; keep on expressing yourself in the way only you can. This is for those of you in a rut; know that you are beautifully made and it’s all a matter of choice. Wherever you find yourself ask this very important question, “Does my style authentically communicate who I am?” If yes, welcome to lando!

Make today count you sexy beasts you,
