What's my style? #BEDM
I have a confession to make, in April I turned 37 and I still don't feel I have any personal style.
I've worked in a clothes shop for 10 years now and help people dress and feel more confident, but I can't do it for myself. I know what clothes I like but they never look or feel right on me, I never really feel like me; this is more a problem in my thinking than in how I actually look.
It's been a problem from my teenage years, having been bullied at school for not having trendy clothes or wearing the right brands, it always weighs on my mind when I choose now; leaving me to pick things I think people would like rather than what I really want. I'm quite good at hiding my style stress but find it's getting worse as I get older, I just want to feel confident for a change.
This weekend I had the joy of attending Blogtacular, a blogging conference in London, and before I went ended up stressing about clothes, image etc... I shouldn't have worried as while there I met the loveliest, bunch of accepting people there ever was. As soon as I entered all my worries eased away.
I'll talk about the whole experience in another post, but I while there I learnt some great advice from some great speakers and business women.
DON'T "SHOULD" YOURSELF
DO IT YOUR WAY
GO EASY ON THE COMPARISON
Amanda, you alway look lovely, and come across as being very happy in yourself. You have a great sense of style, and carry off everything you wear with aplomb x
