My Favourite Items To Wear When Needing A Confidence Boost

amomentwithfranca · 21 November 2021 · 13 Comments

Do you have a go-to item of clothing when you need a bit of a pick me up? When I need a confidence boost, I always head to my favourite outfits to help me feel good about myself. Body confidence is so tricky, don’t you think? Loving your body and unlearning years of learnt behaviour and thoughts can be tricky when it comes to our bodies.

And with the impact of lockdown affecting people’s confidence levels, we could all do with a bit of a pick me up, don’t you agree? I have collaborated with Joe Browns, the fun clothing and homewares retailer to look at how clothing can boost your confidence and the impact my clothes make on how I feel each day.

Everyone should feel confident to wear the clothes they want to wear and be happy in their own skin. Joe Brown conducted a survey recently that had over 13,000 responses. The survey found that 47% of recipients do not wear clothes they would like to due to a lack of body confidence. To combat this, they have launched a get your #mojoe back campaign to help you feel confident enough to wear what makes you happy.

On this note, I thought I would share with you how I dress to help me feel confident.

Bright Colours

Don’t be afraid of wearing bright colours. Colourful items make me feel happy and brighten my day. If you don’t want to wear a fully colourful outfit, include some colourful accents in your outfit, such as a bright top, jewellery, or even accessories such as a belt or handbag. Start small until you feel confident enough to include more bright colours.

I love this colourful sweater from Joe Browns, and they make me smile when I wear them.

Detailing

I love jeans. These lace-up jeans are so cute and give a fun twist on a classic clothing item, don’t you think? If bright colours are too much, go for some subtle detailing to mix things up. Wear a top tucked into your jeans or a shorter top to show off details such as this, or style your outfit around clothing featuring unique details so you can see it without it being obvious. Kind of like a little secret only you know to boost your confidence.

The ruffle detail on this black top is perfect for elevating your outfit, and it can take a simple, comfortable top and give it a little something extra.

Understated

Sometimes less is more; you don’t always need big, bright, overly detailed outfits. Something understated yet classic can have the same effect, especially if you feel particularly low on confidence. Classic blacks are always a go-to, but the beauty of block clothing is that it can be so flattering, meaning you look good and you feel good too.

So if you feel better in an all-black outfit, wear it with pride and confidence. Choose some well-placed accessories or jewellery to make your outfit pop or a colourful jacket over the top. Maybe you have a bright pair of boots to wear with your black outfit. After all, comfort is key to feeling good in what you wear.

I would love to know your top tips for choosing clothing to boost your confidence. What works for you?

*Disclosure: Joe Browns sent me a few clothing items from their latest collection for the purpose of this blog post. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

Franca  💋

    I don’t have an item of clothing. I did always used to redye my hair in a bright colour if I wanted a boost… Now I just look at my children and think be brave and fake it if you need to. But clothing would definitely be a better plan!! You look really good and are oozing the confidence from them though.

    Super cute! We all should know our best colors and styles and have those favorites that make us feel confident. I know I rock blue sweaters and black is always classic. #KCACOLS

    Bright (or rather, slightly brighter than usual) colors always make me feel good too. I have this Mickey Mouse T-shirt (yes, it’s actually for adults) that I really like to wear in spring and summer and that really gives me a mood boost. As for winter clothes, I just got a green fleece vest that’s so comfy yet I also like its color. By the way, I completely agree that everyone should really be able to feel confident to wear what they want. #KCACOLS

✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling b ✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling breakfast, right? I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl
✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So ✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today? What are your plans? .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #sisterhood #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #westfield #westfieldlondon #londonkids
✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome
