Hi lovelies,

“When you look good, you feel good.” That is a statement you hear continually as a woman. You realize now that there is a lot of truth within this phrase, but you don’t know how to implement it into your life. Whether you want to have a more comfortable wardrobe or you want to land that dream job you’ve just applied for, the way you dress can have huge impacts on your mindset and perceived persona. To make things sound less complicated, ultimately this means that you can feel strong and powerful if you make the right style choices. You might think that this sounds like an outlandish claim, but there is so much truth to this. Let’s delve deeper into the magic methods that will help you to unleash your inner boss babe.

1. Get To Know What Suits You
First of all, you need to learn to love your body type. Understanding your shape and knowing what looks amazing on you will be a complete game changer when it comes to adopting a stronger style. There are so many fashion tips on Joyfully Styled that will help you to discover what kind of clothing you suit. You may also want to ask the advice of a friend if you’re unsure what actually looks good on you. Make sure they are totally brutal and honest with you; it will help you to achieve your desired look in the end.

2. Statement Accessories
You can really make a statement when you choose the right accessories. You don’t need to be an expert, you just need to know exactly what matches up with the outfit you’re wearing. From oversized handbags to chic sunglasses, there are so many amazing ways to incorporate powerful accessories into your everyday wardrobe.

3. Chic Shoes
Always choose your shoes wisely as they can make or break your outfit choice. Even when you don’t know what type of fabulous footwear to choose, it can be made a whole lot easier by sticking with a favourite one or two pairs that are already in your closet.

4. Dress For Your Mood
Never underestimate the power of dressing for your mood. You will feel so much more authentic and real if you stay true to who you are. With that being said, when you’re feeling a bit low, dressing confidently will be able to uplift your mood instantly. Some red lipstick and a pair of power boots can skyrocket your confidence instantly.

5. Know The Occasion
When you are completely clear on the occasion you are dressing for, it will become so much easier to adapt your style. You need to know exactly how to dress for the occasion you’re attending. Whether it’s a fancy black tie event or it’s a fun and flirty date. Familiarize yourself with the venue, check the weather and look up pictures on Google to see what other people wore to that same event. You will be able to grab instant inspiration if you approach it from this angle.

6. Comfort Is Key
You never want to compromise your comfort; even if you love the shoes, the pain just isn’t worth it. You can’t be a strong and independent woman if you’re hobbling around in stilettos that just don’t suit you!

7. Mix and Match
You don’t need to go out and spend a fortune on new clothes. You can handpick a couple of forever items and mix and match them as much as you like. For example, if you find the perfect pair of jeans buy them in two or three colors. Then find a power blazer that makes you feel super sexy. Team this combo with a couple of different tops and you instantly have about five or six outfits that look completely different. Mixing and matching is absolute magic, especially if you’re on a budget.

You don’t have to be going for a job interview to dress powerfully; you could literally be taking your dog for a walk in the park. Ultimately, you need to adopt a style that suits your lifestyle and your personality. If you don’t feel completely comfortable in what you’re wearing, you aren’t going to feel able to conquer the world. Make as many or as few changes as you need to in order to find your sense of style. Hopefully these ideas will help you to tap into your inner goddess so that you can shine on the outside, no matter how you’re feeling internally.
