The 7-Day Muse Awakening – A Journey to Reclaim Your Effortless Feminine Power

Day 6 – The Art of Style: Dressing as an Extension of Your Essence

A Shift in Perspective

Think back to the first time you felt beautiful—not because someone told you, not because of what you wore, but because something in you just knew.

Now, contrast that with the moments you dressed for approval. The times you bought something just because it was “in,” the times you worried more about what others would think than how you felt.

Style should be one of the most personal things about you.

Yet, for many women, it isn’t.

Instead, it becomes a silent conversation with the world—an unspoken negotiation between personal truth and external expectations.

But the women who leave the most lasting impressions?

They don’t chase fashion.

They choose.

Style is not about accumulation. It is about discernment.

And when you stop dressing for admiration and start dressing for recognition—when you wear only what feels like home—something shifts.

Not just in how others see you. But in how you see yourself.

The Truth Beneath It

What you wear is a reflection of what you value—and, more importantly, how well you know yourself.

Research in enclothed cognition (Adam & Galinsky, 2012) proves that clothing doesn’t just change how others see us—it changes how we see ourselves. When we wear something that aligns with our identity, our confidence, posture, and even decision-making shift. 

But consumer psychology research (Berger, Invisible Influence, 2016) shows that most of us are making unconscious choices. We think we are choosing independently, but we are subtly nudged—by advertising, by social media, by the silent pressure to “update, refresh, stay relevant."

This is why so many wardrobes are full of things bought on impulse—pieces that felt essential in the moment but lost all meaning after.

But the most compelling women filter differently.

  • They buy less, but better.
  • They are immune to advertising cues.
  • They wear what awakens something in them—not what follows the world.

True style is about self-honesty. If a piece of clothing doesn’t evoke something—confidence, nostalgia, power—why wear it?

Seeing It Differently

What if style was never about impressing others?

What if, instead of chasing an image, you dressed in a way that felt like an extension of your soul?

Because the most timeless style is not the one that seeks approval.

It’s the one that feels like home.

One of the greatest lies sold to women is that they must be seen in a certain way to be respected, admired, or even loved. That femininity must look a certain way. That power must look another.

But the most striking women don’t dress for acceptance.

They dress for recognition—for the rare moment when a piece of clothing feels like a missing part of themselves.

When you stop seeking permission, your wardrobe transforms from a collection of trends to a self-portrait.

The most striking women don’t dress for others. They dress as a form of self-possession.

  • Franca Sozzani, the late editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, was known for her deep indifference to trends. She wore the same ethereal, flowing silhouettes for decades—because they felt like her.
  • Charlotte Gainsbourg refuses to be polished or overtly glamorous, preferring a style that is intentionally undone—because it resonates with her essence.
  • Miuccia Prada has said that she dresses against traditional ideas of femininity—not to make a statement, but because her clothes reflect her internal world.
  • Tilda Swinton – Perhaps one of the most striking examples of style as self-expression. Her androgynous, sculptural looks defy trends entirely, proving that personal style is a language—one that does not need to conform to be captivating.

Each of these women treats style as a language of the self. Their wardrobes are not dictated by cycles of fashion, but by a deep internal knowing.

When you stop seeking approval through clothing, you start dressing for the only person who truly matters: yourself.

Stepping Into It

Today, resist external influence.

When you look at your wardrobe—or consider buying something new—ask yourself:

  • Do I want this because it’s “on trend”?
  • Would I still love this if nobody ever saw me wear it?
  • Does this piece evoke something in me—strength, beauty, nostalgia, confidence?

If the answer is no, let it go.

Style is a mirror. What you choose to wear is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself. Make sure it is an honest one.

A Moment of Reflection

For the next 24 hours, dress as if you were meeting the woman you are becoming.

📌 Choose only what makes you feel at home in yourself.

📌 Ignore trends, outside opinions, and silent expectations.

📌 Let your clothing be a conversation between you and you alone.

Because the most timeless style?

It’s the one that already belongs to you.

An Invitation to Experience It

For the next 24 hours, dress as if you were meeting your highest self. Choose only what makes you feel strong, effortless, at home in your skin. Ignore trends, expectations, and outside influence. Let your clothing be a conversation between you and you alone.

Because the most timeless style is the one that is truly yours.
