Want to Express Yourself? Here's How in a Cool Way Parents Will Approve

You know you love expressing yourself and your personality through your clothes and everything you do and say. You carefully choose your outfit for school or just to hang out with your best friends on the weekends. Fashion is important to most girls, tweens and teens and now more fashion choices than ever are available.

It’s great to express yourself but as a girl, you want to strive for a look that’s fresh and fun. Don’t be surprised if your parents don’t want to let you out of the house if you look like a creepy Halloween costume. Parents want you to express yourself too, but not in ways that look scary, messy or too old for your age. The right balance is important.

Let’s be honest. Being fashionable is truly making a statement without saying a word. What you wear tells people all about what you’re like. It can say, “I’m shy and I don’t want to be noticed.” And, if you look shy people will treat you that way. Or, your appearance can say, “I’m happy, I’m confident and I’m glad to meet you.” If you look confident – people know it immediately. Confident people make friends more easily and do better throughout their lifetime.

One popular fashion trend you see on girls, tweens and teens is the surprise of unexpected color. It started with grown up women who wore a black and white outfit and “popped it” with a bright red or yellow purse. Now, almost anything goes when it comes to pairing color with your outfit. Fashion-forward girls like you now look for ways to pop their outfits with a jolt of bright, happy color. That jolt of color is usually in items like belts and shoes.

American designer James Androuais created a fashion item both girls and parents can love. Now you can be unique, fashion forward and express your point of view at the same time. They have quickly become so popular that XpressIt belts were chosen to be featured in a holiday gift bag loaded with goodies distributed to Hollywood moms with celebrity daughters.

Meant to be worn with your favorite jeans, XpressIt belts provide a pop of bright, color and a little extra. Yes, the belts come in hot, fun colors you’ll love including Mimosa Yellow (the “in” color for 2009), Classic Red, Aqua Blue, Limey Green, Bubblegum Pink and Perfect White. But it doesn’t stop there.

After choosing the color belt you want you get to choose from little Twistonz (about the size of a penny) that go in the holes around the belt to create a one of a kind look. Spell your name with Twistonz. If you’re an animal lover there are animal Twistonz with cute names. Love shopping? There are Twistonz with a high heel shoe, a purse and words like “Shopping Diva.” Love text messaging and your MySpace page? You can choose Twistonz with popular sayings like “BFF,” “OMG” and more.

You probably love clothing items and accessories that provide a chance to show off your unique personality and style in fun, fresh ways. Being able to change the words and pictures on the belt you wear with your jeans lets you be yourself and be in-fashion. The Twistonz are easy to change and they stay where you put them until you decide to change them again.

The possibilities are almost endless. Fortunately, the XpressIt Designs website at http://www.XpressItDesigns.com has an Ideas page where you can get a little fashion inspiration so you can see the possibilities. Truthfully, you’re only limited by your imagination and how you want to express yourself.
