![]() ![]() I want you to consider this: if someone took your picture and posted it on the front of your favorite magazine, would you approve? Always wear something that you’d approve of in photos because you will be photographed and you will regret flats, pants that are a size too big, and a pilling sweater. You’re in the dressing room fully clothed in your new potential outfit. If you’ll be in the freezing cold auditorium from 7am to 7pm, wear lots of layers. If you’re learning the opening number dance that day, you’ll want to wear something more moveable. But what I mean here is to consider what you’ll be doing in rehearsal on each day. Of course, you’ll consider the context being the fact that you are competing in a beauty pageant, so you can’t win if you’re wearing loafers and a ripped t-shirt from 7th grade. When I go shopping, I have a vision in my head, maybe even a Pinterest board on my phone to consider if what I’m about to try on or buy fits my style. I call my style, “professionally-fit.” Most days of the week, I’m rockin’ lulu leggings and a brightly colored blouse. ![]() I want to break down three easy steps that will take you about 60-seconds to consider and help you plan your wardrobe for a week or more of pageant rehearsals. The trick here is to envision you’ve already won. The Miss America system is somewhat more conservative than others but still stylish and high-class. The Miss USA pageant is high-fashion model-type, so less rhinestones and more Calvin Klein appeal. Miss International and Galaxy pageants are very glitzy and high-glamour think: rhinestones galore. It does two things: First, usually you’ll be doing more movement in the earlier days like learning the dance and stuff so you’ll want to be more comfortable and second, as you get closer to the title, you’ll want to step up your game and feel more like a queen.Īlso, consider the branding of the pageant itself. I recommend having your outfits start off more subdued and then save the dressier ones for closer to the pageant day. You’ll want to select all of your rehearsal outfits in advance and pack them according to the day you’ll wear them. You have to exude excellence from the very beginning – that means planning your wardrobe so it’s up to snuff with the competition… in fact, it is better than the competition. In a competition, you have to be your best all the way around. In today’s episode, I’m going to teach you how to decide what to wear to your pageant rehearsal. To pageant girls, it means to skip the Jessica Simpson shoes for their Michael Kors wedges and exchange rhinestones and lace for spandex and silk. It’s a contestant’s worst nightmare to arrive to the first pageant rehearsal in sneakers and an oversized t-shirt you wore to the gym in college only to find all the other girls dressed in their Sunday best – even though the paperwork said to dress ‘comfortably.’ ![]()
