How to Exude Confidence Even When You Don’t Feel Particularly Confident
Every year both during and after New York Fashion Week I find myself scrolling the internet for pictures of what people wore both on and off the runway. While Fashion Week takes place in various cities all over the world, there’s just something about NYFW that inspires me the most. Maybe it’s because I lived in New York City for so long, or maybe it’s because there is something distinct about the fashion and the people in New York City.

Whatever the reason, this year, as I scrolled through picture after picture two things stood out to me the most:
- Glasses. Sunglasses in particular. Sunglasses have a way of completely transforming a look and taking it from classic to edgy with barely any effort at all. Take a look:
- Confidence. I know it sounds like a huge leap to go from sunglasses to confidence, but hear me out. While looking at the pictures of these women in their fabulous shades, it occurred to me how I was instantly drawn to them. And it wasn’t just what they were wearing, either. I was more so attracted to the confidence they exuded without even saying a word. I was so impressed by these ladies that I committed myself to doing a photoshoot rocking my FlashFrames sunglasses to see if I, too, could recreate the mysticism and confidence that seems to pervade the streets of New York City.
FlashFrames, by the way, makes it easy to do so. FlashFrames is an online shop where you can upload a picture of a pair of sunglasses you like and the site will instantly provide you with authentic designer or designer-inspired alternatives with prices starting at $9.99 a pair. I spotted a pair of aviators I wanted so I uploaded the pic and snagged this pair . It was super easy.
I’m pretty sure you nailed the mysticism and confidence by rocking those shades. By the way, the sunglasses are perfect on you. I also agree that there is something to be said about faking it until you make it. No doubt.
true indeed! thanks for stopping by!
Every time I need it, a pair of heels gives me EVERYTHING. Especially now that it’s fall and I can pull out my sexy boots?! Oh yes. My stride gets longer, my hips sway more, my posture gets better, and the world is my runway when I’m wearing a pair of heeled shoes that I love.
yasssss. I love it!!! thanks for stopping by!

Great post Lisa! Those sunglasses look amazing on you. When it comes to boosting my confidence, I try to put on a fly outfit and make sure my makeup is on point. That always gives me a little boost.
