I know that quite a few women feel this way.
Increasing weight, hormones, health issues and life, in general, can get us into a style rut and make us feel less than wonderful.
Of course, these can sometimes lead to more serious issues like depression, but that is beyond the scope of this article. Today we will mainly focus on how to get out of a style rut.
That in itself can make you feel better about yourself, as it really is true that looking good can make you feel good as well.
How do you get into a style rut?
A style rut often happens when you feel that you don’t have the time or the desire to spend time on dressing and/or self-grooming. You may be overwhelmed by or too busy with your children, not feel happy with your career or relationship or got frustrated by the increasing size of your body or overwhelming health issues. You may feel that looking after yourself is not important or that there is no time for that.
The problem is that when you stop looking after yourself, you will look even worse and therefore FEEL even worse. It can become a downward spiral.
Before you know it, you may feel old, fat and frumpy as Cheryl expressed above.
What can you do to get out of your style rut?
First of all, you need to realize that you are in style rut and that you are doing this to yourself.
You have stopped caring at some point and stopped making an effort to look after yourself for any of the reasons mentioned above.
You will need to get rid of any excuses you have given yourself as reasons why you can’t look good.
Some of these can be:
“I’m too old to look good”
“I’m too fat”
“I have no style”
“I have no time for shopping”
“I have no money to buy anything”
I hope I have convinced those of you that are in a style rut to have more fun with clothes and discover you’re stylish you. Looking stylish doesn’t have to be a chore but can be a lot of fun.
I’m sure that the time (and perhaps a bit of money) invested will make you feel happier, more alive and will help you to enjoy your life after 30even more! You must be confident that you are the most beautiful.
