Never Give Up
18 Nov
Sometimes it’s not until we try something different, that we realise the impact clothes can have on how we feel about ourselves.
I have had ladies burst into tears in the changeroom after they’ve seen themselves in a great pair of jeans. They had no idea they could wear that particular style, let alone how they would feel when they saw themselves in them.
Looking your best and feeling stylish can help you be more confident and self assured, while wearing the wrong clothes can have the opposite effect, so it saddens me when I hear some of the reasons women have for giving up on themselves. These are just some of the excuses I’ve heard…
- “I’m old now. Nothing looks good on me”
- “I’m too fat to look good in clothes”
- “I’ve got no one to dress nicely for”
- “Everything I like is too expensive”
- “Once my kids leave home I’ll have time and money to spend on myself”
- “I’d love you to come and look in my wardrobe and help me clean it out and show me how to wear what I have, but I’m too embarrassed to let you see inside it”
- “I don’t have the time and patience to shop”
- “There’s no point in me trying to look stylish at the moment while I have small kids. I always end up with food or vomit on my top and I can’t run around after a 3 year old in stilettos”
Are you telling yourself you’re not worth it? Are you thinking you’re beyond help? Are you stopping yourself from looking and feeling the best you can?
Of course not all of us have the money to spend on new clothes, (high maintenance) hairstyles and makeup and not all of us have lots of time to go shopping, but there are small things you can do that require little time and little investment that will make a big difference.
It’s upsetting when I talk to someone who thinks that “it’s all too hard” and they have given up on themselves.
All of us deserve to feel good about ourselves at every stage of our lives.
It might be that you need to stop wearing sloppy unflattering comfy clothes, maybe your hems needs taking up, (or going down) perhaps you could do with a new bra or lippy, or having your eyebrows shaped. Maybe all that you need is in your wardrobe, you just can’t find it for the clutter. I’m here to tell you (& encourage you) that baby steps can make a big difference.
Promise me, you won’t ever give up on yourself and remember that I am here to help if you need some motivation, support and guidance.
