How many times have you bought a new pair of shoes or a new dress and immediately felt like a million dollars? Your confidence is instantly boosted, you look incredible and feel absolutely amazing. This is the power of a wardrobe that works hard for you. And it gives back many times over on your initial investment in it.
Having an understanding and respect for the connection between the mind and body is key here. If you feel happy and comfortable in your own body and skin, it means that you can appreciate who you are as well as how you feel about yourself.
When Do You Feel Alive?
Unfortunately, many women hide behind dark coloured, ill fitting and unflattering clothes. This is often to mask their insecurities and lack of self-esteem. However, they often admit that they feel tremendously alive, inspired and confident when they wear brighter, more flattering clothes. And when they take more pride in their personal appearance.
Investing In Yourself
Life has a habit of throwing us many challenges and obstacles. Finding a new relationship or coming out of an old one. Embarking on a new career or business. Going for a job interview.
When we invest in ourselves and our overall image and dress to suit our style personalities, our personal colours, our unique body shapes and the lifestyles we lead, we really do change how we feel and how we cope with what life throws our way.
When we start the day on the right track, in a positive, powerful, resourceful state of mind, we can’t help but feel an abundance of confidence, positivity and happiness. This also helps keep stress and negativity away.
By eradicating our negative mindset around our self-image, we can stop holding ourselves back and start looking and feeling fabulous.
How can you really take control of your personal image and present to both yourself and the world that you’re a strong and successful, confident and assertive, stylish and modern woman of today?
Here are my 5 tips to get you started:
Review, Re-Organise And Declutter Your Wardrobe
There’s nothing more frustrating than struggling to pull an outfit together first thing and feeling like you’ve got nothing to wear, despite an already over-crowded wardrobe!
This helps you to keep focused on what’s working, what’s not, what’s needed and what can be cleared out. Bringing back some order, helps you to feel positively in control, energised and confident again.
Choose Colours That Enhance Your Complexion, Hair And Eye Colour
With the right injection of colour, you can look and feel more confident and self-assured, younger, taller, healthier and have more of a vibrant spring in your step! Colour is capable of emphasising or even de-emphasising an individual’s appearance and beauty.
Choosing the right colours to wear, especially when worn nearer to the face will significantly enhance and flatter.
Embrace Your Beautiful Body Shape And Dress It Appropriately
Our body shapes change over the course of our lifetime and we need to fully embrace what we have and feel comfortable with our current shape.
Creating balanced proportions through clever dressing and camouflaging areas we’re not so fond of, along with celebrating our favourite features by enhancing them, really is the key to dressing for your shape.
Accessorise, Accessorise, Accessorise
Accessories are a great way to easily alter the look of your wardrobe staples. There’s a tendency to focus only on the clothing and not really accessorise enough.
Women are lucky to have the huge variety of accessories available to add more interest, fun and style. Use jewellery, scarves, hats, belts and bags to show your confident and beautiful personality off.
Your Clothes Will Have No Effect If You Don’t Invest In Personal Grooming Too
Poor grooming will ruin a polished look and can severely knock your confidence. Taking the time to apply make-up well, regular visits to the hairdressers, and keeping your nails manicured, will give you a significant confidence boost. This also helps to bring your whole look together beautifully.
So what you wear, how you wear it and ultimately how you present yourself is not a shallow consideration.
By improving the way we dress, how we look and reflecting the best version of ourselves, we can shift from having low self-esteem to an abundance of confidence in the time it takes to put on a pair of shoes!
