Sometimes I forget it’s okay to be me.

That look was major becauseand I spoke with Selena about thisshefeltgreat, Walsh says.
She felt like the best version of herself.
Ive really been examining the tools that enlighten that.

She says that the best trendssuch as the color redare timeless and come together organically.
Yes, be aware of what is trendy, but how does that make you feel?
