And, historically, women haven’t always been given that opportunity.īesides, who are these people accusing others of vanity? We have long been shamed for caring too much about our appearance, or for caring too little. It’s how we tell people who we are before we get the opportunity to speak. It’s a silent way of communicating with the world. Besides, why can’t we admire an outfit or our make-up in the same way we’d admire art or a pleasingly cohesive design? The way we dress is a perfectly valid and creative way of expressing ourselves. And, historically, women haven’t always been given that opportunity.”Īs someone who sees the value in personal style, I will debate anyone who says that caring about how we look is pure vanity. “The way we dress is a silent way of communicating with the world. And that includes paying attention to what we wear. In a physical sense, yes (I hark on about comfort a lot when helping clients declutter) but also comfort in our own skin. In order to focus, to do the work that matters to us, we need to be comfortable. I felt so self-conscious and uncomfortable the entire day that I couldn’t fully concentrate on my job.

I don’t need that much headspace taken up by my shoes!” “I know it’s vanity really, but I just hate pink.” She went on to say: “I feel conscious of them the whole time. “The ones I have are bright pink,” she told me. My innocuous comment resulted in this blog post when my friend admitted she hates her trainers. This morning, I told my friends about a new pair of trainers I’d treated myself to. Great if you like to wear your hair up.īrown boots: Suede Spanish riding boots from Rydale. Comes with a choice of chains in various lengths.Ĭelestial hair pins: Three-piece clip set from Etsy. Pendant: Sterling silver mandala pendant. Purple dress: A-line, slim fit purple dress from Amazon. Tights: From Calzedonia and only £6.50 excluding postage. Ring: Amethyst set in sterling silver, another find from Etsy. No good if you’re allergic to wool, but otherwise gorgeous. Knitted dress: Hand-knitted from Etsy, hence the price. Grey boots: From Pavers, these slouch ankle boots are shockingly comfortable. With a few tweaks, it could work for a Natural Romantic just add some statement jewellery and some chunkier, sexier boots.
I think this outfit (below) would work for both a Natural Ingénue and an Ingénue Natural. ‘The Hermit’ tarot card print t-shirt (RedBubble) perfect for an Ingénue Natural who spends most of their days either at home or at the supermarket 😉
