Your Style is Your Story: Get to Know Vanita Baugh

Article on GoKabean Blog 
Today we have a guest writer that I have had the pleasure of knowing since our time working together at Nordstrom. This beautiful woman of God not only possesses a business mindset, but exudes confidence and it is her mission to help other women to find the same through her professional styling. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Vanita Baugh has had over 20 years of retail experience , including owning her own successful consignment shop for 5 years right here in Richmond, VA. Today, she is all about C.U.T.E (Cute Unique Trendy Essentials) and helping you find how your style is your story!

Style is a more essential part of our lives than most people think. Clothes give us a clue about who people are and what they like, and provide us with an outlet to express ourselves every day. The way you dress telegraphs more about who you are then you realize. There is a saying, “Style because your personality isn’t the first thing people see.” Think of it as this way: Even before you get to crack a joke, introduce yourself, or say hello, people have made decisions about you based on the way you dress.
Grant it some lucky people are just born with great style, great taste, and a great sense of color. But on the other hand for some it’s a daily battle with their closets and inner self. We all have an inner fashionista and I believe that every woman can develop great personal style. All it takes is the confidence and the know how of what works best for you to look and feel your best every day.  And that is where C.U.T.E comes in!

Cute Unique Trendy Essentials is for every woman who wants to discover and express her personal style, whether it’s hip, classic, casual or dressy.  C.U.T.E creates a distinctive look that is sure to be admired. Adding interest to the already stunning look of a fashionisette or to assist in bringing out your inner fashionista that will exude confidence, sophistication, boldness and beauty! You have to look the part to play the part because all women deserve style!
Here at C.U.T.E I empower and encourage women from the inside out to establish a sense of pride, strength and beauty by uplifting their self-esteem through fashion.  I advise and encourage them to embrace all the positive things that fashion can do for them with tips on how to find clothes that focus on their best features and look like they were made for them.

I also provide tricks on how to sort through their closets and play up their personality with pieces from their wardrobe, along with my own little treasures of clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories to enhance their cuteness. Not to mention, it gives themselves the attention they deserve each day! My motto is, “I aspire to inspire!” When you look good you feel good! You have to go beyond the basics to glam it up! I believe by taking that little bit of extra effort in caring for yourself, you will increase your self-esteem and attract positive energy!
I believe fashion is a way to show the world both who you are and who you want to be! C.U.T.E wants women to know that when you do what makes you happy and what makes you feel good, that’s what makes the best you shine through! C.U.T.E is more than just accessories, it is an attitude and positive one! So embrace your personal style…because it is personal!
