Well Helloooo abit of a zoolander face today:) I really feel like I have lost my fashion mojo!! Right now in the face of packing for our move I am finding all these clothes that I have been hanging onto for years that I never wear but keep since you NEVER KNOW when it may be in fashion again. It feels good to purge all that stuff. Also- I have all kinds of crazy things from thrift stores that I don't wear, or some of them that I DO wear-- I shouldn't :) For me this is an exciting phase of redefining my look-- out with the old and in with the new. I will be more intentional with the new stuff however, and only buy stuff that is POW!! SHAZAM!! DAMN AWESOME!! No more '
just okay and I will buy it because its only $2.00!!'
You know that feeling when you put on an outfit and you feel amazing VERSUS that frumpy outfit and you feel frumpy? I find that strange given our happiness is an experience rather than to be sourced from something external. Anyway-- just a thought or question.
Do you think your outfit is what makes you feel good/not good? And if so why?
Hi Jody, I have been all about purging lately! It does feel good. I really believe my outsides affect my insides. My confidence returned in a big way when I began to care about my appearance again. I know that when I look in the mirror each morning and I smile...I am going to go out with my head held high. I think it makes a huge difference for women. The years I wore frumpy...I was despondent and unmotivated. Great questions...hope the move goes well.
ReplyDeleteTossing old stuff we don't use is healthy. And I believe our joy in looking good comes from inside (our self-esteem) even though it's sometimes triggered by external factors (e.g., clothes).
ReplyDeleteThis may seem odd but I'm excited about your move -- and I'm not even going with you! Please keep us posted.
