February 2022 | Love Yourself
Ladies, it is no secret that loving yourself is not an easy task. In the world we live in today there are so many obstacles in the way. The way a woman should look is constantly changing…how are we supposed to keep up?!
The good news is…you are not alone in thinking this way! Every woman that I have ever met has struggled with loving themselves for who they are. Beauty is different for everyone and looks different for everyone, and honestly… thank goodness! It leaves room for us all to express ourselves in our own unique way!
Personal expression can be interpreted differently for everyone! How you do your make up, the career path you chose, the people you surround yourself with; and we can’t forget… the clothes that you choose to wear! (my personal favorite) (;
Finding your personal style can be a journey; one that I am happy to help with!
Obviously this is not something that you can just magically do in the blink of an eye. Finding your true sense of style is something that takes time. There are a few things that can help to steer you in the right direction!
Look at your clothes
I know, this isn’t want you wanted to hear. (You are probably reading this because you do not like your wardrobe, in the first place). Give it a chance. Take a glance and pull out your favorite items. What do you like about them? Do they make you happy? Do they make you feel good putting them on? What do the items all have in common?
Find Inspiration!
There are so many resources out there these days for inspiration; a big one being Pinterest (you can browse my Pinterest here). But, there are also other ways to get inspired! Some of the ways I like to find inspiration is looking through fashion magazines, scrolling through instagram, looking at my favorite brand’s websites and taking note how they are putting together outfits with items I am drawn to. All of these ways will help you further you journey to finding your personal style and loving yourself!
Save your ideas
As you are looking through and getting inspiration, do not forget to be saving these ideas. This will come in handy if you are ever in a styling rut and need help to get out. It is always good to have things on hand so you are staying true to yourself and not rushing to put something together that you really only ‘sort of’ like. This will also help you stay in check while you are shopping for new items for your wardrobe. The last thing you want to be doing is wandering around a store just grabbing everything you like. Purchases should be thought through so you don’t wind up in the same position you are in now - a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear!
Make the transition
This is going to be a slow and steady transition! You do not want to just abandon everything you have and start over. That will feel painful and discouraging and will not help you to love yourself! As you bring in new items to your closet, work to style them with old items - eliminating the feeling of needing an entirely new wardrobe! Eventually, you will be happy with what you have and how you feel…
And be well on your way to finding your personal style and loving yourself <3
