“No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up and never give up.”
Regina Brett
When you get dressed in the morning it should be an activity that brings you pleasure!
When you wear clothes that you love, you feel like you can take on the world.
Clothes should energise you, make you smile, bring enjoyment.
I feel at my best in a pretty little dress with a pair of heels and red lips. It’s like my armour – I am ready for battle.
That’s because I know what I like; I rarely follow fashion and only, ONLY buy things that I love.
If I try something on and I like it but don’t love it – sorry but it goes back on the rail.
I love buying vintage and retro outfits – I can feel more amazing in a £3.50 second hand dress that fits me perfectly and is in keeping with my style than I would in the newest designer clothes.
Only once have I asked the question “What are you wearing?” and followed the crowd by wearing what everyone else was. I did not feel like ‘me’ and consequently did not enjoy my night out!
You are you and that is your superpower
How you dress, and more importantly how you wear your clothes can make you feel powerful.
💋 Don’t worry about what everyone else is wearing.
💋 Only wear clothes that you absolutely love.
💋 Wear what you want to.
💋 Be authentic and proud of your style.
What’s your favourite item of clothing and how does it make you feel when you wear it?

Thank you for reminding us to be authentic.. But do you think there is a fine line between being inspired and copying them? Because on the internet Im drawn towards people who have a great style and would love to dress like them..

I absolutely love looking at people I admire for inspiration for outfits. The key is to mix it with stuff you enjoy wearing and already own. You then get to put your ‘spin’ on it. So don’t copy 100% but take an idea and make it your own. Thanks for your comments 💛

I’m such a big fan of this topic! I’ve done this challenge called “The Bloom Challenge”, where I wear my favorite clothes and dress up for 13 days straight. I LOVE doing it, because it brings so many good vibes, positive energy and confidence with each outfit 🙂

Oh exciting – I’ve not heard of that challenge, I’ll have to look into that one. I love being overdressed! In fact it’s my number 1 go-to strategy for when I feel a bit down. Definitely a confidence booster and who doesn’t want to turn up looking fabulous!

My favourite item is a sweater. It’s that sweater that you don’t necessarily need, you’ve got sweaters already but you see it and the thought of wearing it brings excitement and once you own you can’t believe it’s yours and you’re just so…proud. 🙂
