Why You Should Buy Clothes That Give You Confidence

Hot take: we really need to stop allowing people to say that clothes and makeup are frivolous items that women give too much value. When I’m well dressed, I have more confidence, higher self-esteem, and feel ready to take on the world. While there are things that I value more than my clothes, I do place high value on my self-esteem. And that’s why I believe that you should buy clothes that give you confidence.

Why I Blog: Does Representation Really Matter?

I’ve been writing and creating content here on What Nicole Wore for two and a half years {WHOA}, but today I wanted to get a little personal and share my why. Friends, family, other bloggers, brands, etc. ask this question a lot and the answer is admittedly a bit long-winded. Today, I’m digging into a hot topic, that shouldn’t be hot, why representation matters, how it helped me decide to launch my blog, and how blogging’s made me more comfortable in my own skin.   Plus I’m sharing an easy to recreate fall outfit featuring some seriously cute embroidered mules!
