One thing we love about this trend is that it works well with every nail length and shape, and you can be bold with neons or use subtle pastels. It can be adapted to every occasion, so you can’t go wrong with trying this trend.

What Does Beauty Mean to You?

              As women, we have so many outside influences telling us to feel beautiful right after feeding us idea after idea about how we should constantly change ourselves. Another aspect many attempts at body positivity don’t consider is that beauty is subjective and often personal and unique to each individual. Here at DressHaute, our goal is helping women feel more beautiful, so we must ask this question: What does “beauty” mean to you?

              The answers many would give range from physical aspects of the body or fashion to more philosophical approaches. For myself, I would summarize my definition as overall contentment in oneself. While it would be amazing for us all to feel 100% enthusiastic and positive about ourselves 24/7, that approach is not always attainable for many women across all walks of life. We all have our insecurities, and some attempts at body positivity ignore that and end up alienating women instead of empowering them.

                A more attainable approach would be wanting to be at peace with where you are now, even if you’re not always happy. It’d create a healthier relationship with fashion, for starters. When was the last time you bought something just because you liked the piece and not because you were chasing an ideal version of yourself? For many of us, that answer is a lot further back than we would like to admit. Maybe it’s time that we step back and appreciate who we are in its entirety and just have fun with fashion again.

Share your thoughts with us! What is beauty to you, and when was the last time you felt beautiful?

#LuvYurself

Have you been #Luved by DressHaute yet? DressHaute believes every woman should feel confident, and beautiful in their own skin. The #LuvYourself campaign is one that lets people express themselves no matter what shape or size they might be. DressHaute took the #LuvYourself campaign to the streets of downtown Pittsburgh to see what the public had to say. We interviewed multiple people asking a plethora of questions, such as: what is your favorite quality about yourself, what makes you feel confident, and how have you encouraged others to feel confident. Many of our questions centered around confidence. We know that can be a touchy subject, but each person expressed new ideas and views on their own confidence. Everyone struggles with insecurities, but we at DressHaute would like to remind everyone of their true beauty. You have been #Luved by DressHaute!

Rainbows Reign

Here at DressHaute, we want nothing more than to spread positivity among the community. Therefore, we enjoy supporting movements that are all about celebrating the amazing qualities that make us different from each other. June marks the start of Pride Month! These upcoming weeks are meant for the LGBTQ community to promote their self-affirmation, their dignity, and their diversity.

Our mission at DressHaute is to encourage self-love, body positivity, and individualism. This movement is a celebration of life, love and liberty. We support men and women of all ages in their desire to spread hope and self-acceptance to the world. Check out our Instagram for widespread color throughout this month!

Take a Picture, it’ll Last Longer!

Our DressHaute team took part in a photo-shoot last week, which was something fun and creative for all of us to participate in. We were given the opportunity to wear some of the beautiful custom dresses we have designed here. Many of the photos taken were posted on our Etsy shop. We’re working on staying up-to-date with our online shopping presence so that customers are given ample opportunity to find unique designs that fit their needs. We took pictures in multiple gowns, using different poses to showcase different angles and the fabric. We also did something fun with some of the dresses to support Pride Week, so check out our Instagram page!

Our team worked on our own DressHaute makeup looks to accompany our custom dresses. Here is a little sneak peak (check them out on Instagram as well). We plan to continue to post simple makeup looks and tutorials every Tuesday on social media for our “Tip-Tuesday”, so be sure to keep an eye out if you’re looking for quick and easy beauty advice.

DressHaute

Hello I wanted to take this time and introduce myself and my company DressHaute. DressHaute was formed in 2014 as a Bridal and Special Occasion Boutique. The goal was to bring beautiful gowns to woman of all sizes and embrace everyones curves and beauty. In this world where beauty can be vain and it’s difficult to try and be the perfect figure my mission was to make every woman feel beautiful in a DressHaute gown. As a person who struggled with weight and PCOS growing up it was difficult to have that inner self confidence and self esteem. I always felt inadequate to the other girls on the cheerleading squad and the popular girls in school. You get a sense of not being enough at least that’s what you tell yourself. I was always different and unique by the way I dressed, to the people that I hung out with and always got along with older people then ones my age. It was difficult in a society where you were judged based off your looks and not your heart. Over twenty five years later I have worked hard on myself and luving myself and not living in the past anymore. I’ve learned that you are not defined by your past, it’s just building blocks for your adult life, which makes you who you are today. That’s why DressHaute’s mission is to luv who you are and embrace your curves no matter if there are a size 2 or size 24 and feeling beautiful in your skin. Life is about dressing up and showing up and being the best you can be. There’s a saying that you need to fake it until you make so technically everyone is an actress or actor in their own movie and it’s up to write the storyline. In the coming weeks we will discuss beauty, fashion, self-esteem, designing gowns, events and much more.

Stay Beautful
