NYE BREAKUP RECOVERY THROUGH FASHION
So, you’re single close to New Years and trying to pick up the pieces this holiday season. Trying to find the urge to get out of those sweatpants and enjoy the time of joy and laughter with your family and friends? Well, have no fear I, Katherina, have the tips to fix a break up from Head to Heel.
Coco Chanel once said,
"If you are sad, if you are heartbroken, make yourself up, dress up, add more lipstick and attack."
Step one: Put down the yoga pants!
While they are comfy for sitting on the couch and eating your favorite ice cream while you watch some sappy Hallmark movies. You have to put them down and get your groove back! It’s time to grab a fresh color of lipstick and that winged eyeliner. Give your makeup routine a fresh start for the new year by going bold using bright lip colors, bold eye makeup, give off a new you and a fresh vibe, without fully changing every part of your look.
Step two: Leather, Heels, & Little Black Dresses.
It's the holidays, and of course, everyone is having a party. Don't let it stress you that you don't have a date. Confidence is key. Yes, a breakup is a natural thing and it is hard to deal with, but don't let it hinder your holiday party. Find your confident clothing! Grab that leather pencil skirt or that motto jacket. Favorite pumps? Grab those too! Also, for those fancier parties, the sexy classic little black dress will do the trick.
Step 3: Finding Yourself Again Through Fashion.
After a breakup, everyone goes through the phase of ‘Who am I?' 'Who was I before this relationship?' 'I have lost my other half, I feel like part of me is missing.' Well in all reality, you didn't lose yourself. Remember relationships are learning experiences. One way to get back into who you are is to express yourself with your fashion. Get creative. So, dig into your closet, dress up and even reinvent yourself! Those jeans that fit your curves just right with a nice pump, and a t-shirt or even bold fashion choices to spice it up. You will come out stronger and of course look fabulous!
Step 4: Make a Statement!
Once, you finally want to hop back on the dating horse again you will want to be noticed. So, statement pieces are definitely the way to go! A shoe, a dress, a necklace or even a bold hairstyle. Trying to get back out there is a very admirable thing and fashion is a way to get noticed while out on the town but, remember just be YOU!
These steps will not only help you survive the holidays but also during any breakup or struggle in life. Need some help? What are you waiting for? Grab a glass of wine, put on some fun music! Your closet is calling your name!
