diva
/de`va (noun) a self-important person who is temperamental and difficult to please (typically used of a woman)
So we have clarified the definition of diva but how does that interact with fashion? I mean we are constantly seeing advertisements anywhere from how to apply multi-color smoky eyes to applying face crystals or even polished waves but how about fashion??? Well I can only tell you by my own personal experience that there is certainly more to the definition of Diva....."a famous and successful woman who is very attractive and fashionable" is more like it. So how about we simplify it and give you the top 7?
7 signs your a Diva:
1. A MIRROR IS YOUR BEST FRIEND
You might be a Diva if you are constantly checking yourself in the mirror. Are you "that girl" that always has a hand mirror in her purse? Do you find the need to constantly check the restroom mirror when at a party? Do you spend hours in front of the mirrors at your home? If you answered yes to these questions, you are certainly on your way to showing signs you're a diva!
2. YOU LOVE SPARKLES
You might be a diva if ninety percent of your clothing is covered in either sparkles or has "look at me and know that I am in the house!" if you are known for the over-the-top clothes you might be a diva!
3. YOU CRAVE ATTENTION
If you are a girl in love with the spotlight, you might be a diva! Do you crave attention? Are you willing to get all eyes on you, even if you have to step on someone else to get high enough to be seen? If you answer yes, you might be a diva!
4. FACEBOOK HAS HUNDREDS OF PICTURES OF YOU!
If your Facebook photo albums are crammed full of pictures of you......you.....and more of you, you are probably a diva. Is life all about you? This is a picture of me reading my favorite book, this is a picture of me brushing my teeth and another walking my dog.
5. YOU'RE NEVER SEEN WITHOUT MAKE UP!
You might be a diva if your friends have never seen you without make up. I love make up but I'm not so in love with it that I don't mind going all natural every now and then. How about you??? Are you "too Diva" to head out bare every now and then??
6. YOU HAVE BIG HAIR
If you are in to Snooki poofs, you might be a Diva! The bigger the hair the better chance you might have Diva blood cursing through your veins. People know you're in Wal-mart because they see your hair towering over the shelves! Look out! Diva coming through!
7. YOUR HANDS HAVE ATTITUDE
You might be a diva if your hands are saying as much as your mouth is! You know the type...finger pointing AND SWAYING SIDE TI SIDE saying.."oh no she didn't." (yes..Honey Boo-Boo...that is you, dear)
So you have clearly read the top 7 "you're a Diva if..." signs. But what about fashion? The sophistication, grace and elegance of a European designed dress stitched to perfection accompanied with the perfect pair of stilettos and Italian leather handbag....is that a sign you're a diva? Maybe?
I am often asked what I look for (as a fine boutique owner) when buying for our clients. I really don't know how to answer that except for that I strive to choose collections that are versatile, classic, sophisticated and yet...screams ownership. I truly feel your wardrobe is a silhouette of your very own, unique personality. Some may be brighter than others...but never the less none of them are dull.
There are many types of personalities in fashion and some may very well be considered...Diva! From Ultra versatile prints that perfect blank slates of color to add to your own stylish spin with a touch of color, metallic or textures or the relaxed chic that curates a look using "simplistic elegance" as your touchstone.
