Dresses and their Power of Femininity!

0








Hello Dolls!!





Lately I have been in love with dresses! I dont think there is anything sexier then a woman in a well fitted beautiful dress (skirts come a close second but you know what I mean *wink*). I mean, its such a statement of femininity!!! This season bold colours and prints are in. What a great time to check out some of the beautiful styles and colours available. Now I know some of you dolls are reading this thinking, "but I'm a tomboy I cant see myself in a dress" but I cant assure you, throwing on a simple dress with heels and you will see the difference it makes in how men approach you, and treat you. Its really a remarkable thing. A dress screams femininity and requests without saying that a man be chivirous and gentleman like.





That brings me to another topic which is the importance of shoes. A good way to ruin a look is by the type of footwear you pair your outfit with. A dress and sneakers never goes together unless you really dont care about how you look and the message you are sending across in which case this blog might not be for you. The right shoes, even the right colour makes a world of difference. It either dresses you up or dresses you down and gives off the impression, depending on the footwear that your sloppy and dont really care about your appearance. I have seen so many gorgeous girls walking around in dirty shoes, mis matched shoes with outfits (for example burkenstocks paired with a pencil skirt), or sneakers with dresses. I understand one wants to be comfortable but that doesnt mean you should sacrifice a well put together appearance for comfort. There are a plethora of shoe choices that are comfortable yet stylish and affordable (my favorite word) so really there is no excuse. And for your tall girls who are afraid of height I can assure you that your height is your advantage. There is nothing more stunning then a beautiful tall woman in a gorgeous dress and killer heels. I went to a womens conference I saw a woman who in her heels was over 6 feet tall. She was STUNNING!!! She wore a fitted black dress that acentuated her shoulders and a pair of killer leopard print heels. I was so impressed that she left me speechless. I couldnt take my eyes off her and it had nothing to do with her height, or drop dead gorgeous looks but it was her confidence and how she owned her look and thus owned the room that captivate every one who set eyes on her. So to my fellow tall girls fear not. You dont have to shy away from a great pair of heels because your over 5'8.6 (*ahem* thats my height by the way*{smiles} ) *wink*

Mental Wellness: Relationships

0

Good afternoon Dolls!


In my wellness series of posts I want to focus on resources and tips that you can read and incorporate into your daily life to help enhance the Power of your Femininity. Being feminine is more then just how you dress or act in public. Its also about empowering your mind and utilizing strategic intelligence so that you dont make critical mistakes in your relationships that undoes the hard work you've cultivated to create a feminine and soft image. I want to make sure your mind is empowered along with your femininity to help you achieve the relationship, goals and dreams that you've always wanted.


So lets get started with 3 of my favorite resources that I feel are good starters for the woman whose beginning her journey to empowerment.


I'd like to share with you some resources that I have come across that adds value to your mental wellness when it comes to relationships. Whether you are in a relationship, recently single, or you've been single for a while these books will add tips, "tricks" and valuable information to help you navigate the sometimes mirky waters of dating.


Resource #1: Why Men Marry Bitches" and "Why Men Love Bitches" by Sherry Argov


I read this book 3 years ago and it changed my perspective on dating and answered my fundamental question of why I was the girl who seemed like a great catch but had the catch bolt after a while. I discovered that I was making critical mistakes because I approached dating from the "good girl mentality". Men dont think like that and this book gives you a sneak peak into their minds, how they think what the really mean when they say they want a nice girl and why thats the last thing they want or desire.


Resource # 2: All teh Good Ones Arent Taken: Change the Way you Date and FInd Lasting Love by Debbie Magids Ph.D., and Nancy Peske


This book helps you to identify which "single" you are and give you tips on how to move past these dating holding patterns and open your mind romance and dating. I recommend reading this book first before reading the books in Resource #1


Resource # 3: How to Be a Lady by Simpson-Gilles


Thsi book is a listing of do's and don's when it comes to being a lady. Many of the tips are common sayings your mother or grandmother would have told you at some point in your life but other things are a bit of a "oooh I didnt know that" moment. Bear in mind this book was written a whole generation back and as such should be read with this thought in mind however there are a lot of GREAT tips in here that are useful in every day life.


The great thing about these books is it gives you perspective on how the male mind works. Once you gain a certain understanding of the male mind you can translate some of it into the working world. Now I am not advocating using these books to start an office affair. Not at all!! BUT, being self aware in terms of projecting lady like qualities in the office, decoding the things men say will certainly help you in your interactions in the office and the outside world.


Free tip of the day:


Your best accessory in the morning is not a brand named article of clothing or jewlery, its your smile. Dont underestimate the power of a smile. Think positive thoughts and watch that positivity transmitt through your facial expression and your smile. People will gravitate to you.
