I recently applied to be a vendor at a fashion show event, and was denied, because they evidently felt what I do not have much to do with fashion and/or beauty.
I do transition coaching.
As women transition in their lives, their bodies are changing, the developmental stages they go through are creating shifts both in how they look, and in their perception of how they look, in relation to other women who may be at an earlier development & life stage.
Their values are most likely shifting as well, and how they see themselves, and think about themselves, in relation to the world in general, is also changing.
Let's not forget the adage that beauty comes from the inside out.
How a woman feels about herself strongly influences non-verbal body language, the aura they put off, their demeanor and posture, whether they exude an air of confident and a positive sense of self.
All these things influence the way we are seen and responded to.
I have observed, and worked with, many women as they age, and even the way they dress and the amount and type of make-up they choose, reflect changing ideas about who they think they are, and who they believe they can be in relation to younger women.
You and I both know that it's important to be realistic about how old we are, and how we respond to the world out of that knowledge.
Women who dress like they're 20 years old, but who are actually 50 years old, are unconsciously making a statement to the world that they may not be in a place of acceptance with who they are; that they are feeling some negative judgment about their age.
And, unfortunately, these women don't always realize that they don't look 20 years old just because they dress like a 20 year old.
They look instead like a 50 year old trying to look like a 20 year old! None of us want to reflect that message to the world! It is simply not possible to slap a bunch of make-up on our faces, wear expensive, stylish clothes, and think this will camouflage a negative self image.
If we start with making ourselves beautiful on the inside, it becomes much easier to look and feel beautiful on the outside!
