On the Street

It seams to me that block colours are in this summer so i decided to try on a lilac Closet Dress, newly in to see how it fitted for size and what the colour would look like on. I would say if you were to sum up my normal dress sense in colour, i mainly wear Jean Blue, Black and Red. Lilac is not a colour that i would have thought would have suited me but i was pleasntly surprised. I felt very summery.

Whilst i was outside in the streets of Knaresborough i bumped into two ladies, Estel (with the black hair) and Hannah (with the blond hair). Firstly i told them what Sasparilla girl was all about, and Elstel loved it she thought that women somtimes need a bit of guidence when it comes to trying on new clothes, stlyes and especially dresses. She felt that the block colours were a bold statement and she would never had imagned trying on a block colour dress if she hadnt seen me wondering the streets trying it on.

When i spoke to Hannah i was pleasantly surprised that she had studied fashion buying at Manchester Met University so i was keen to hear her opinions on the dress and what advice she would give women when they are shopping. She said "Have the courage to try things on, even if you wouldnt expect it to suit you" she also made it clear that "You are never to old to try different styles on". She would love to be a personal shopper and cant wait to help people herself.

When i was on the streets i did feel self conscious and worried as i had not worn a dress like this before, i felt like my knees were on display or the colour just wasnt "me". However when people passed me and i spoke to Hannah and Estel i felt that i was just being paranoid and all of those initial feelings i got were just immediate reactions, as if they were programmed into me regardless of what dress i was wearing. Just like Hannah and Estel helped me with my confidence i hope that i can help you too and make you realise that those "progammed reactions"are not always right.
