I would like to talk about the significance of transformation this month, including style transformation, as I recently celebrated my 51st birthday and am also undergoing a transformation.
The majority of people don’t know how to handle change after a significant life event. Many of us are familiar with the changes that menopause brings about when we reach that “certain age”, or we see that retirement brings about a significant change in lifestyle. Perhaps you lost a partner, went through a breakup, or got divorced. Many of us worry that as we get older, the window of opportunity to find love again is closing, especially when it comes to our romantic relationships.
Who am I now that this major life event has happened to me? Most people just wait and hang around for the next relationship to define them. Instead of asking questions like, “Who am I now without this relationship?” or “Who do I want to be now?”
Transitions can be frightening and painful, and they can take us by surprise. The importance of self-care is something we hear discussed a lot. Discuss with women going through significant life transitions how important self-care is to their sense of self-worth, as well as how they present themselves during those challenging times. They frequently neglect to take better care of themselves, even though they know they should.
As we age, we gain valuable knowledge. Now that we know our dealmakers and our dealbreakers. We know that true connection is built on empathy, respect, kindness, attraction, and compassion. Attractiveness and physical appearance are crucial (as an image consultant, you cannot expect me to say the opposite). The way someone takes care of themselves is what really matters, not just how young they appear. It’s not always true that men are attracted to women who are younger. Relationships between older women and younger men have the potential to succeed because maturity and confidence are desirable traits. Healthy men and women seek emotional stability, security, and desirability regardless of age.
Our clothes not only express who we are on the outside, but also who we are inside. It conveys our character and personalities. Before beginning a style transformation, it is vital to gain the required knowledge. Understanding your colour palette, body type, and personal style will make shopping much easier and prevent costly fashion mistakes. Especially if your body and/or colour have changed.
As I always say, what you wear can change the way you feel.
