Intuitive Living - Outside

" I have nothing to wear"....I think my poor husband must have heard this a million times over the years. I always wondered why he got this confused look on his face as he stared into my wardrobe, couldn't he understand that whilst there was an array of clothes hanging expectantly in my wardrobe, the fact of the matter was that I simply couldn't find anything I wanted to wear.

 

The truth was that over the years, my relationship with my wardrobe had become a little like a battlefield,   No longer was it about style and expression but instead practicality and cost. As my priorities changed so did my view about clothing and looking back, I realise that clothes became a functional requirement rather than something that I used to express who I was. I realised was that I had lost the "joy" of clothes and instead of seeing them as an important expression of me, I had relegated them to a functional necessity. 

​

Just as working with our internal, when it comes to our clothes we need to connect to our intuition. We need to love, accept and honour our ever changing body and emotions. We need to let go of the judgement, comparison and validation with and of others. We need to connect with who we really are and express it in a way that feels right and authentic to ourselves.   Our clothes need to make us feel good just as we are, we need to feel comfortable in our own skin.  

​

If you are reading this and already groaning at the thought of having to totally overhaul your wardrobe, stop! The reality is you probably already have everything you need in your wardrobe, you just need to step out of your head and into your heart. To let go of the limiting beliefs, the past and the future and just be in the present moment, loving yourself and your wardrobe, just as it is!

 

 For me, it was about reconnecting with the joy of my clothes, to feel excited about getting dressed in the morning and to feel confident that I can and do know what works for me. I let go of the fear of not having a limitless budget or a knowledge of the latest trends and instead felt into what made me feel good and what worked for my life.

​

Dressing for yourself is easy if you allow it. Your success will have more to do with what you don't do rather than what you do. It's not something that money can buy, the right coat or perfect pair of skinny jeans won't solve it. The real solution, is listening to your inner knowing, connecting with your body and knowing yourself. Intuition is the best accessory you will ever own and being yourself the best thing you can ever wear.
