Taking Fashion Lessons From Hanna

Have you ever put on an outfit and, despite it being the latest trend, it just doesn’t feel good on you? How many clothes in your closet are not worn because of that?

Have you caught yourself admiring someone who is dressed to the nines and then look down at yourself feeling a bit like a “shlop” and begin fixing your clothes uncomfortably?

I snapped this picture of Hanna as we were waiting for our Booster Juice at Talisman Centre yesterday. We had both just swam. She did her lessons, I did lane swimming. Wet hair and all, she was sporting pink… and looked mighty fabulous and hip.

I am amazed at my daughter’s sense of fashion and how she puts outfits together. It’s totally Hanna style. I don’t help, in fact, she seldom let’s me give my opinion on what she wears.  There’s a confidence in her process that says,

I know who I AM. I like who I AM.

Clothes have energy, just like everything else. Hanna knows what feels good on her and she struggles to wear something that doesn’t.

Watching Hanna, I’ve learned three things.

1.  Let your own personal style shine.
2. Check in with how your clothes feel.
3. Avoid wearing clothes that bring your energy down. In fact, give them away!

Yes, I realize that not everyone has the funds to completely overhaul their closet. I’m not suggesting that. I’m inviting you to connect with the energy of your clothes and see if they are a true match for the divine woman inside you. If not, slowly, and as funds allow, replace and upgrade.

We women are constantly evolving. Heck, sometimes I can hardly keep up with myself. That’s why it’s so important for us to be scanning our environment and choosing that which aligns with the amazing person we are and are becoming.

Yes, right down to the undies!

What’s one piece of clothing or shoes you own that is so NOT YOU?

I’ve got plenty ready for a spring fling into someone else’s closet – stuffy suits, jeans that ride too low, and some jackets that frump. What about you?
