Let your sparkle sparkle! Sequins, metallics, and everything shimmery sparkly are trending. And they are trending hard. Every fashionista across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and TikTok (I didn’t check Mastodon) is showing off their sparkles. And, not just in the typical gold or silver either. This season no color is exempt from the sparkle craze. No venue or occasion either. From holiday parties to the grocery store — everywhere is fair game.
However, It’s interesting how we take our cues from fashion shows. It’s no longer “doing too much” or “extra” to wear sequins every day if we choose. I couldn’t help linking it to how we sometimes wait to be accepted before we let our true personalities shine.
Perhaps growing up or somewhere along the way we were told you’re too loud, too talkative, too this or too that. Or even the flip side, you’re not smart enough, loud enough, or not _______ enough. Fill in the blank.
Here’s a gentle reminder for that fierce individual you see in the mirror. Don’t lose your “sparkle” for anyone or anything. Your quirks, mindset, vibe, energy, and soul feed who you truly are. Please don’t wait for society to accept you or tell you it’s ok to shine before you shine either. Your ‘sparkle’ is that trait that makes you uniquely YOU.
So while you run out to add some shimmer to your wardrobe remember to shine right now, just as you are.
