Hold it! When you stop to think of how much time we spend trying to mask, change and fight what we consider to be our “flaws” it makes you wonder if we shouldn’t be spending half the time embracing, enhancing and rejoicing in them. Is it possible that we could have been enjoying life just as we are – well, almost just as we are, a few minor changes never hurt anyone.

Consider this: your flaws may be just the fashion solution you’ve been searching for. If you’re looking for your signature style, look no farther than what you would call your greatest flaw. Embrace whatever line or curve or lack thereof you’re thinking of and make it work for your unique style. No one else has your flaw the way you do. No one else would want it, you say. Don’t be so sure. Cindy Crawford made the mole an accessory people actually paid to stick on their face.

Define beauty. Instead of always staring in the mirror at your nose, look to your full lips or perfectly positioned eyes for a change. Accent the features that you love and enjoy what you like about your appearance. As soon as someone compliments your pouty lips, your nose has simply become part of the canvas that makes you lovely enough to have been noticed.

Instead of fretting over your flaws, change them. Make an effort like never before to get to the gym. Invest (even big money if you have to) in a product or procedure that will improve your flaw. Determine that you are going to use the entire bottle instead of tiring of the routine and only using half. After all, nothing changes until it changes.

Before you change it, consider what makes you, you. There are countless procedures that can alter your appearance, but once it’s done will you still be you? If you honestly think you’ll be better then go for it.

If you feel your preferences are your biggest flaw, be brave and follow through on what you think looks cool or sexy or chic. Even better if all the world, or your little piece of it anyway, has something to say about it. If your sense of style has people talking, you’re on the right track. Do you really look at runway-wear and find it “normal”? No. The greatest designers cause a stir before they demand a price for their view on high fashion.

Are your choices you biggest flaw? Let the past be what it is – over. Live today and reconcile your mistakes by learning from them and teaching others to do better than you did. This is an excellent way to make your flaws work for you, after all, beauty is only skin deep.
