Get creative with accessories
Accessories can make or break an outfit. They can lift it up, dress it up or dress it down – there’s any accessory for everything! If you’re feeling a bit self conscious, then try a statement piece of jewellery, an oversized pair of sunnies or a hand bag to add layer and texture to your outfit.
Add power pieces
Do you have a piece in your wardrobe that makes you feel like you can take on the world? A tailored blazer? A killer pair of heels? Incorporate that piece into your outfit and remember how good it makes you feel when you feel your confidence dropping.
Accentuate with make up
Nobody NEEDS make up to look amazing. But we all know that it DOES make it feel more confident, especially on those days where our self esteem is on the floor. If your outfit isn’t doing it, accentuate with make up. Perhaps match the colour of your eyeshadow to your dress or do a dramatic lip.
Don’t compare
Easier said than done, I know. I’m awful for comparing myself to others, especially when it comes to appearance. But try and nip those thoughts in the bud before they materialize into something worse. You’re beautiful. So is she. You can both be.
Don’t neglect underwear
Obviously shaping underwear is just one underwear option but if that’s not your thing, then perhaps something a bit fancier might well, take your fancy! Even if you’re not going to be showing fancy underwear to anyone, wear something fancy for yourself. You deserve it.
