I have been anxiously awaiting to write and share this post. Diane von Furstenberg is obviously an ultimate role model and style icon to women and fashion lovers everywhere. I recently just finished her book, The Woman I Wanted To Be, and am completely transfixed with her journey to become the woman she wanted to be in life. I can't express how many highlighted notes and bookmarks fill up my book due to the amount of wisdom that is within it.
DVF stresses that confidence, knowledge, character, strength, and style is what makes you beautiful. Being the woman you want and inspire to be is what makes you beautiful.
"The way you look is important, but who you are and how you project it is eventually who you will become and how you will appear."
She taught me that passion and persistence is what leads you to achieve your dreams. You cannot sit idle in order to make your dreams come true, but work hard. Her story of believing in her suitcase of wrap dresses, going door to door at department stores, and then building her brand up to become an international phenomenon and the president of the CFDA is truly inspiring. She had a mindset of the woman she wanted to be, and made it happen.
"Sometimes there are doors that will open and you think it is not an important door and yet it is - so it's very important to be curious and pay attention, because sometimes you learn and you don't even know you're learning."
Feel like a woman, wear a dress! is what I thought of when I wore this classic wrap dress by DVF. The jersey silk fabric clings to your skin, but the structured nature of the dress makes you feel sexy and strong at the same time. It is although that you feel like you can conquer the world.
Since black, white, and pink are the core colors of DVF, it was essential to mix it up and add a pop of color to the outfit with this clutch from Kate Spade New York. I slipped on my go-to classic pair of black pumps by Steve Madden and thin silver hoops from Michael Kors - and voila! A DVF girl emerged! Not only does this dress make you feel powerful, but it makes you feel very joie de vivre!
Through all of her failures and successes, she stayed true to herself, which is something that I admire and is something that has been taught to me within my family. After reading her book, it made me think...who is the woman I want to be? The woman I want to be is based off of my role models in life - my mother and my sister. They emit strength, intelligence, style, beauty, joy, and love. They both carry on my grandmother's wisdom and strength. They help shape me into the woman I want to be, encourage me everyday and are the biggest and most valuable support system in my life. They work hard and put everyone else before themselves. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today or on the way to a future I want to fulfill. I am inspired by them everyday and they are both the woman I want to be.
