Keys to Confidence

Confidence can be hard to come by, especially for young women in today’s high pressure, appearance-focused world. I haven’t always been the most confident person, and honestly, I still have days when I just don’t feel very positive about myself. But, what always gives me a boost is putting together a great outfit. One of my style mantras is to only wear clothes that make me feel good and look good.

True confidence radiates from the inside out, and that’s why what we wear under our clothes matters so much. Lately, I’ve been on a mission to find more bras and panties that disappear under clothes. (I found some fab affordable options at TJMaxx!)  It seems so silly, but not having to worry about those pesky lines showing through is really such a load off.

IMG_0392Another easy way to look and feel your best is by using feminine products that ensure leak-free days and nights. The U by Kotex line (which I introduced you to in July) has the perfect combination of protection and comfort. Kotex wants to help you feel confident, even during your period, so be sure to request free samples and try them for yourself!

we are what we believe

A major life lesson that has been incredibly relevant in my life as of late is that no one else will believe in you unless you believe in yourself. So, do whatever you have to do to make your dreams a reality. Surround yourself with people who will encourage you to be your best and love you even on your worst days. Make unpleasant times a little better with creative (and pretty) solutions. If you’re like me and you love to shop, give yourself some incentive. I bought myself a gorgeous Kate Spade tote during one of their surprise sales earlier this year (love this one too). As much as I wanted to use it right away, I put it up on a shelf in my closet and decided not to use it until I got a new job. You better believe that it’s on my arm this week, and it was well worth the wait!
