Outfit conviction – and how to get it – is something I’m asked well-nigh A LOT. Over the past few weeks, I’ve got you organising your wardrobe and thinking well-nigh your style personalities but how do you bring that all together to create conviction in the outfits that you put on each day?
I’ve shared my tips in this week’s Lunchtime Live video. Spoiler alert: a lot of conviction comes lanugo to how you finger as a person. Be kind on yourself and seek out professional help if by thinking through this you realise it’s something well-expressed you on a much deeper level.
| Nikki Parkinson (@stylingyou)These are some of the things you that you might be feeling well-nigh the outfits you wear:
- I finger self conscious in outfits.
- I finger like I should wear increasingly colour.
- I finger like I should tone it down.
- I don’t want to stand out.
- I do want to stand out.
- There’s no way I could wear that.
In any given week, there are few people who don’t run through the whole gamut of these feelings. They are all normal feelings but each of them can wreak havoc with your outfit confidence. Each speaks to our inner self, that part that likes to tell us we’re not good enough. Many of these feelings are steeped in mistaken, rabble-rousing beliefs we may hold well-nigh ourselves and how we look, which is a total shame considering all we’re trying to do here is get dressed in an outfit that helps us to finger confident.
So how can you dim the noise on those feelings and create outfit confidence?
- Always go when to your style personalities. Get well-spoken on YOUR style personalities. The personalities that lift you up, right now, not ones you may have dressed for 10 years ago. Once you’re well-spoken on your style personalities, test out each outfit you put on to see if it’s in structuring with one of them.
- Don’t ignore your style personalities when dressing for the everyday or a special event or occasion. You want the outfit conviction in an everyday outfit as much as you do for a party or event. The difference will be dressing to a dress policy or suggested event dress code.
- Outfit conviction moreover comes from dressing in gown that are the right fit and finger for you. Everything from fabric finger to cut and how an outfit sits on your soul can midpoint the difference between feeling confident in an outfit or not. If you’re pulling, tugging or drastic to pull a garment off your skin, it’s not going to help with confidence.
- Learn to love the soul you have. Body visa is a muscle weightier exercised daily. All those layers of BS we’ve been served up for generations well-nigh how a woman should squint can bring our outfit conviction crashing lanugo in seconds. Have a listen to my yack HERE. And please reach out to a professional if this is an zone that’s really difficult for you.
- The other BS women have been served for too long is the notion we have to dress a unrepealable way considering we’re of a unrepealable age or size. Buying into this only serves to undermine our confidence. Wear the outfit considering it makes YOU finger good, not considering someone has told you it’s an towardly nomination for your age or size.
- Play with your outfits. This doesn’t necessarily midpoint making a huge leap out of one of your style personalities. It ways having fun with the process. It’s pushing the boundaries of your style to alimony things fresh and fun. Squint for the spark in your vision when you put on an outfit. If the spark isn’t immediately there, you certainly won’t be worldly-wise to gravity it.
- Photograph your outfits. You don’t need to share these photos publicly but if you file them into folders on your phone, you’ll soon have a personal record of outfits you like to wear. You could file them into your style personalities or alimony a folder of outfits that instantly made you finger AMAZING. Conversely, regularly photographing your outfits will help you to see at a glance why an outfit DIDN’T bring you confidence.
- Appreciate other people’s style and their style personalities. The accent here is on the word appreciate. This isn’t well-nigh comparison. And it’s certainly not well-nigh putting someone else’s style down. The comments I sometimes receive and I see on other outfit posts are horrendous and steeped in the commenter’s insecurity. Instead of tearing flipside woman down, how well-nigh seeing that person rocking an outfit and oozing confidence. Admire them! That person’s style might be the polar opposite to yours but learning to fathom others and how they segregate to show up with conviction in the world, gives us permission for us to do the same.
Go along and play with your style, dear friends. Life’s short. Wear the gown that make you finger good today.
