Embrace Dressing Up and Standing Out

Greetings!

Have you ever felt like dressing up just because? I have, and let me tell you—it's a wonderful feeling! As women, we often find ourselves in situations where we question whether we should stand out or blend in. Today, I want to encourage you to embrace the joy of dressing up and not be afraid to stand out.

I Felt Like Dressing Up… So I Did

Sometimes, the simple act of dressing up can boost your mood and confidence. Whether it's a bold dress, a statement necklace, or those fabulous shoes you’ve been saving for a special occasion, wearing something that makes you feel great can transform your day.

Don't Be Afraid to Stand Out

In the professional world and even in our everyday lives, it's easy to fall into the trap of dressing conservatively to fit in. However, standing out can be a powerful tool. When you dress up, you project confidence, creativity, and a sense of self-assuredness. These qualities can set you apart and make a lasting impression.

It's Okay to Be Dressed Up

There’s no rule that says you have to wait for a special occasion to dress up. If you feel like wearing your best outfit to a regular meeting or a casual Friday, go for it! Dressing up can elevate not only your appearance but also your mindset, making you feel more prepared and motivated.

I wore this dress to a school gala. The event was not formal and I knew people would dress in everything from jeans to cocktail attire. I knew that I wanted to dress up and feel special so while I might have been a little overdressed I felt AMAZING! There are exceptions and use your judgment when deciding when to go over the top 😉

Here are a few tips to confidently embrace dressing up:

Own Your Style: Choose outfits that reflect your personality and make you feel comfortable. When you feel good in what you're wearing, it shows.

Be Bold: Don’t shy away from colors, patterns, or accessories that make you happy. These elements can add a unique touch to your look.

Confidence is Key: Remember, confidence is the best accessory you can wear. When you carry yourself with confidence, people will notice the positive energy you exude.

The Power of Wise Counsel

“It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.”

Ecclesiastes 7:5

In the fast-paced world of the workplace and life in general, navigating challenges and making sound decisions can often feel overwhelming. One crucial factor in ensuring success and personal growth is the company we keep and the advice we heed. Ecclesiastes 7:5 offers timeless wisdom on this matter, emphasizing the value of wise counsel over the distracting noise of foolish flattery.

When deciding who you will allow to influence your journey, it's essential to evaluate their journey, behavior, reputation, and motives. Wise counsel should come from individuals who not only have extensive experience and knowledge but also possess the integrity to provide honest, constructive feedback. Such individuals are invaluable because they are willing to call you out—not in a demeaning way, but in a manner that fosters growth and improvement. They offer feedback that helps you become a better person, both at work and in your personal life.

We all make mistakes, have areas that need improvement, and have blind spots that can hinder our progress. Having someone in your circle who has navigated similar challenges and is rooting for your success can make a significant difference. These mentors or advisors are not just cheerleaders; they are also accountability partners who provide the tough love necessary for real growth. They help you see your shortcomings and encourage you to address them constructively.

Who is in your corner? If you haven't already started building this network, it's never too late. Seek out those individuals who exemplify wisdom, integrity, and a genuine desire to see you thrive. And most importantly, pray and seek wisdom from God about all who you desire to be a part of your tribe.

Side note: Your tribe can change over time as your and people’s seasons change. Know when to release people.
