How Do clothes make you feel
Confident
Cosy
Conspicuous
Fearful
Vibrant
Do you shy away from colour
I Did for years ❤️
I didn't want the limelight
I didn't like the attention
Muted tones slid under the radar
I slotted in sweetly to the sidelines
Nothing to see here meant no judgement
Then something happened
I started wearing Red when I hit 50
And felt powerful and positive
I stepped into Me and was happy
Being Seen and Being heard
I stopped worrying what others thought
What we wear can be representational
Of so much we learned in childhood
I was often frowned upon
For the tutu and wellies combo
As a 6 year old dancing through life
As a teen I was often criticised for choices
That all led to quitening myself
For fear of judgement
A need to blend in arose
But now I'm embracing Colour
I'm leading the way in being seen
And liking the authenticity of self
How can you be seen today
What do your clothes say
Mine say Warmth Love and Hello
Softness Nurturing and Compassion ❤️
Loving ourselves comes in many guises
