You could make time to: Phone or video chat to someone living on their own. Make a cake – however bad. Try an online fitness class. Have a dance in the kitchen Get dressed or just do a meditation. It gives a purpose and structure to the day.and helps your mental wellness. Stay safe and well
Well done on raising so many thousands of £s auctioning the controversial one shoulder dress for your charity @girlguiding as a result of – wearing a dress that had slipped off the shoulder and was deemed inapropriate in the House of Commons. . It’s easy to have clothing malfunctions and indeed my own @zara top in the photo can be worn in all ways – exposing shoulders or not. . Women are continuously judged and often more harshly by other women than by men. . My lifestyle consultancy takes me into organisations where women prefer to often dress androgynously- in trousers- in black- to not be noticed for what they wear- but only for the excellent job they do. . I also speak in schools- where teenage girls feel the need to look perfect- especially on their social media- affecting their mental health. . I hope my own social media feed, that is never filtered, inspires and can show women – young and old – that we can all be individual. Embracing our quirks and flaws make each of us unique and special. No celebrity I have ever dressed had a perfect body or flawless face in my past 30 year career as a celebrity stylist. . We shouldn’t be afraid to wear what we feel comfortable in- however- if we work in an organisation and are customer facing, then we are the face of the brand and should dress accordingly. . Be true to yourself, don’t compare and don’t let the judgement of others break you. .
