One of the most common forms of resistance when it comes to dressing better is the reaction our loved ones may have.

When we make a few changes in our clothing style, we inevitably attract attention. Whether the judgments are negative or positive, it is difficult to move past them. You will inevitably have comments, jokes, etc. There is a good chance that you feel exposed, even vulnerable. 

Most people around us often feel more comfortable facing things that don't move. Never. However, no one in the world can give you as much joy as you walk your own path. Even if it sometimes takes courage to have style .

Often, we do not dare to change for fear of how other people will react. Limiting risks out of fear of disapproval or attention is common. However, for the sake of your personal growth and clothing style, this is a perspective you can and should change.

How ? Nothing could be simpler: don't give more importance to the opinions of anyone who cares about changing the way you dress. This includes your mother, your best friend or your office colleagues. If wearing short skirts , which elegantly flatter the length and slenderness of your legs, makes people around you uncomfortable, face this resistance with indifference and continue on your way with confidence and good humor. 

Accepting yourself is constant work

To get where we want to go, we have to face the scary moments when we feel judged. Yet most of the time, those who criticize our clothing choices feel threatened and insecure.

Have compassion for them, but don't comfort them by limiting yourself in your choices.

Instead, ask yourself if you like your outfit of the day or your new haircut, if that's the one being judged

If so, then ignore the criticism and wear your outfit anyway or be proud of your new haircut.

If the criticism continues anyway, ask yourself if you are still happy with your new appearance.

If yes, then continue to ignore the thoughts and continue to sport your new look with poise and confidence.

If they continue and you have no opportunity to justify their attitude towards you, seriously consider making new friends.

And…still proudly wear this outfit or hairstyle without worrying about criticism any longer. 

Don't be afraid of your new clothing choices, your new makeup or your new hairstyle. Remember that these style changes were surprising for you too and that it was ultimately because you liked them and/or made you feel beautiful, stylish, confident... that you adopted them . You probably haven't left the hairdresser with this new color without having to accept its prodigious effect on your complexion, the features of your face, etc. You haven't left your favorite fashion store without needing a little time to adapt to wearing these new skinny jeans that incredibly flatter your figure. It’s probably the same for the people around you. After the criticism, they will have gotten used to this new look and will continue to love you for your personality and your qualities above all. 

Some people may never understand your new look. Don't give up! Be proud despite everything. This will allow you to move away from negativity with greater ease. 

Before you know it, you will feel the true power of lasting change: it will be easier for those around you to be themselves and also make some changes inspired by your courage and forward-thinking personality or singular.
