Yesterday I spent my day running errands and doing some shopping, and I was surprised to see how many women are dressing like the typical male- wearing jeans or sweatpants, t-shirts and/or sweatshirts, and athletic shoes. Throw in a bad hair day which gives them an excuse to wear a baseball cap and it’s hard to tell the ladies from the guys.
Is it just me, or has the average women given up on fashion?
I was once told that how a woman dresses is directly related to how she feels about herself. If that’s true then I’m sad to report that the women in my area aren’t feeling very good about themselves.
Looking your best; No, it’s not easy- but boy, it is worth it. Before you whip out all the reasons why you can’t, how about recalling why you should?
Remember the lightness in your mood, how you shine, how much better the day goes after you smiled at your reflection on your way out the door? No one’s claiming that looking great is as quick and easy as applying Crest Whitestrips. It’s a skill you need to develop. It requires planning and thought. And like any skill you aim to excel at, be it speaking a foreign language, yoga, parenting, gardening…you name it, the investment of time, focus and practice is a nonnegotiable requirement. Get over the idea that this endeavor is a luxury. How can that be, when putting yourself out there at your best has a pervasive effect on your life?
Which came first…feeling good and therefore dressing to express that, or looking your best which made you feel good? Regardless, how you dress does say something about you. If all this sounds daunting, here’s a motivator: Always leave your house as if you are sure to run into someone you haven’t seen since high school.
Feel good~
