Hello all & welcome back to the blog. :)
Today I want to talk about energetic outfits, confidence and healing as a tran* person. So, what do I mean when I say 'energetic outfit'? I am speaking out the energy your outfit holds. Everything in this world is enery and mental energy goes into picking our outfit of the day and mental energy builds from wearing that outfit of the day.
Now, think about this for a second. If my clothes hold energy, then I am most definetly going to want that energy to be positive high energy. I want to feel good and confident in the outfit I choose. We all know that feeling of dressing up for an ocassion and waering a beautiful dress or suit and we feel like the coolest person on the planet. Well, to be true, there is nothing stopping us from dressing up like this daily and feeling cool af. Why don't we though? No idea. lol
This idea of an energetic outfit is especially appropriate when it comes to tran* people. Firstly, getting our hands on clothes which are gender affirming for us, clothes that make us feel good and confident is very important. I urge you all to make an intentional effeort to seek out clothes that make you feel good and wear them with all the pride you posses.
So often we have been dressed in clothes by our parents which we don't like or clothes that increaes out gender dysphoria even further. This creates a negative self-image and a lack of confidence in our bodies and outfits. Where possible we got to be as intentional as possible when taking our power back and reaching into our closet (or onto the floor for you messy people) and picking out the most gender affirming, high energy, hot, demanding your presence outfit there is.
Wake Up. Dress Up. Show Up.
From my experience as a transmas and non-binary person, I have never felt so good in myself until I started buying masculine clothes from teh mens section. I'm talking suit trousers, shirts, mens underwear, mens cologne and so on. Even purchasing a mens branded shower gel felt and still does feel so gender affirming. These little things can be overlooked as to how much power they hold in setting us up for the day and feeling confident.
The clothes we wear and the energy they hold aslo lends a hand to our healing as a trans* person. Healing from years of wearing clothes we didnt like or clothes that don't feel aligned with our gender identity and expression. Taking our power back and dressing up in that 'Power Outfit' of the day is you demanding your space, your presence and healing the 'you' who was supressed for so long.
Join me in the act of waking up each day and choosing our 'Energetic Outfit' of the day and visualize how good it will feel to wear that outfit throughout the day.
Lastly, I wanted to mention one last thing as I know this is important for me in feeling confident in my outfits. I have no yet had top-surgery yet (but it will be scheduled soonnnnnnn) so I am very very conscious of my chest and how this areas looks in outfits. I currently use TransTape . This stuff is amazing and I highly recommend getting some if possible as it is amazing for getting a flatter looking chest whilst wearing your Energetic Outfit of the day.
I hope this blog post was informative and gave you some motivation to find your Energetic Outfit and go out into the world and demand your space. We trans* people deserve top feel happy, confident and at ease in our clothes each day. :)
As always I am sending you all peace, hope and love.
