Ntando's Corner

I'm just sending a BIG thank you to everyone who take their time to read my blog, I truly appreciate it and I'm sending LOVE to all of you

Thank YOU ..

Okay let's get to other stuff

I've been getting a lot of people asking me why I named my blog ''Fashion Beyond Trends''

let me tell you why ..

So I thought of that name because, fashion IS beyond trends (cliché I know) but like if you think about it, fashion is more than just your Mr Price , YDE, or Zara trends or what they have in stock at that time. It's about how you look in them clothes you buy. For me ''trends'' are just way of reminding people what's in and what's not. Fashion is about what looks good on YOU and not the mannequins you see. We all see fashion in different way and that's MY opinion.

This post will not revolve around fashion and all BUT it will be about general stuff
(not to bore you I will just move on.. )

#ThingsIwillLikeToSeeIn2014 ( okay this is one long hashtag LOL)

MORE people to read my blogs!!! (so carry on reading ..)

LESS people who will use the word "SWAG'' (I don't really knows what it means...just like the rest of the population that uses it)

LESS American flagged leggings or pants (WHY?...PLEASE STOP WEARING THEM)

MORE confident people (YES PLEASE!) especially my ladies!

LESS people who will use the term '' I'm doing me" -----------> like really? it's 2014

Seeing MORE dudes who wear Chino pants and leaving the baggy jeans behind that stop to their knees why even wear pants? ( I am not hating, but Chino pants do look better)

MORE independent people. YES PLEASE!

LESS Tumblr pictures that will tell me to ''just smile'' or something ( I HATE them but if you like them...uhm okay )

Life is not a Tumblr picture, it's rough outchea

UHMM... that's about it (for now!)

2014= STYLE IS WITHIN YOU

I see a lot of people trying to copy celebrities or their friends fashion sense or style.

WHY?
Because they believe if they look like twins or dress the same they will look the SAME

Well.. let me tell you
It's most likely not going to happen..
Don't do that to yourself, your style is WITHIN you. You can use someones fashion sense as GUIDANCE but not totally wanting to be their clone. I write this because I see lookalikes EVERYWHERE ,it's sad that people cant define or "find" their OWN STYLE but they see a need to copy others.

Buying the exact same blazer as Bonang or Kelly Clarkson will not make you look like her or buying that skirt your friend has might not flatter your body like it flatters hers or buying that expensive outfit your "brother from another mother" (Guys call each other that, right? LOL well I'm not sure ) has will not help you score the same girls (Hope that shows you, only YOU can find what is suitable for YOU )

Rather buy something that will scream your name, something that will show who you are ! (might sound cheesy but it's true )

DON'T lose yourself in someones style.
After reading this I hope some of you will stop trying to look like other people :)
Let's make this year about YOUR personal style,

REMEMBER: Trends come and go but style is FOREVER!
