Tomlin coaches girls on fashion, feeling good about themselves


What do the clothes I'm wearing say about me?That's one of the things Kiya Tomlin asked a group of female students at Beaver Falls High School last week to consider as they get dressed in the morning.Tomlin is a fashion designer, business owner, mother and the first lady of football in Pittsburgh, and she knows that clothes say much more about us than we sometimes intend.After her husband, Mike Tomlin, was hired as Steelers head coach five years ago, a friend asked Tomlin, who loves to design evening wear, to speak to a group of teen mothers about their dress choices for prom.Her message was well received and Tomlin now gives similar presentations to groups of girls, encouraging them to pay more attention to the message their clothing sends and how that makes them feel.According to the officials, the battery of the iPhone lasts for about 7 hours if used continuously. If several functions of the phone are used regularly then the power of the iphone battery case will not last longer and hence the role of iPhone battery covers comes into existence.The iPhone battery cases play a dual function."Studies have shown that we subconsciously judge another person in the first seven seconds of meeting them," Tomlin said. "Even though we know it's not an accurate way to evaluate a person, we do it because it's our primitive survival instinct."
Within the first seven seconds after she walked up to the microphone, many in the audience had also made assumptions about Tomlin, who was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants that were tucked into UGG-style boots.Then she revealed what was underneath: a knee-length belted dress and stylish black high-heeled boots."That I showed up to speak to you guys dressed like that probably made you feel like I didn't think speaking to a group of intelligent young ladies was important enough for me to take an extra minute to throw on some real clothes," she said to the ninth- through 12th graders.Tomlin, who creates custom clothes for her clients, showed slides and explained the difference between "tight" and "fitted" clothing, how to balance textures and shapes, and where it is -- and is not -- appropriate to wear pajama pants."Fashion is fun,This ability first served him on the football field, where his swiftness and lightning quick reflexes made him a star of the gridiron. Later, he turned his unique abilities to crime-fighting, adopting the first of the character's mens superhero costumes, an eye-catching metal helmet with wings, along with a red shirt adorned with a lightning bolt." Tomlin said. "We're supposed to be creative and express ourselves, but we can be creative and appropriate at the same time."
Beaver Falls Superintendent Donna Nugent said the school invited Tomlin to speak to the girls to encourage them to feel good about themselves -- inside and out.People that loved to look fashionable at time hesitate to purchase Sports glasses due to their high price tag. The expensive cost makes them to think twice before purchasing. With Go-Optic optical store, individual don't need to worry about the cost factor.It is complete reliable and creditable online store to meet your requirements."I think it's important for kids to realize that they don't always have to just keep up with the fashions, they need to dress according to what is right for them," Nugent said.Tomlin said the guidelines she offers students and clients are not just about dressing modestly, but also about creating a balanced, aesthetically-pleasing look."We're all wired to want to feel attractive and that's not a bad thing. The problem is that, as a society, we've steered away from what authentic beauty is," Tomlin said.
