Women! – Build Each Other Up!
This week I have another rant. I think it may impact a lot of young impressionable women, so I wanted to do an article about it.
As I scrolled Instagram the other night I came across quite a few women giving their fashion advice. Nothing at all wrong with that. I’m all about women helping other women.
My problem, that put me in a snarky mood was one woman’s delivery.
When you give your two cents worth and start off your lecture, because that‘s how it came across, as a lecture, by saying…
“Do not wear this (whatever it was, I lost focus on the item at that point and make sure you picture her saying it with an entitled attitude) as it is last years trend. That’s when my back went up.
How dare you look down your nose at a woman wearing something that was popular last year!
Good golly Miss Molly!
Do you know what that does to a woman’s way of thinking about herself, if she is not confident about her appearance? The last thing young women need to hear is something that makes them feel less than. Or not good enough.
Why not help build young women up by kindly suggesting alternative to add to their wardrobe, instead she all but told women to empty their closets and start again.
Give me a break!
It was so full of entitled attitude, I was disgusted. I won’t name her, as that would only give her more views which leads to more money for her channel.
After watching it I scrolled on saying out loud….”Hell’s bells lady, if I want to wear purple knee socks and yellow capris and a gold shimmery top with a floppy floral hat…I will!
My point being…wear what you love and feel good in!
Be your own fashion expert!
I once saw a young woman in a parking lot wearing a beautiful summer dress, looking like she just stepped out the 1950’s, hair and all.
As I walked by I stopped and told her I loved her dress and vibe.
She instantly lit up like a Christmas tree, grinning ear to ear. She thanked me for saying so.
She said she was unsure of what people would think of her dated outfit.
I said to her, “Never mind what other people think!” “You do you girl, never forget that!”
She thanked me again, and we each went on with our day.
That’s how one woman builds another woman up.
Not by telling them what not to wear.
Rant over.
