Wear What You Want!

“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?

It’s the little things challenge: Day 7

This isn’t a little thing – and it put a huge smile on my face!!!

The lovely Bonnie from Alternative Wisdom said this about my blog yesterday,

I love how positive you are Nicky! If I’m having an “off” moment during the day, reading your posts always puts a smile on my face. Please keep on spreading the love!
