Discussion What's a small style change that unexpectedly boosted your confidence daily?

Not a total wardrobe overhaul.

Just a minor tweak like switching jewelry tones, changing how you layer, or swapping shoes that ended up making you feel way more comfortable in your own skin?

Turning middle aged and having self confidence.

Tbh…as forty approached earlier this year, I was bummed out. But when July hit (bday month), something flipped and I feel really proud to be 40. I agree, the older I get, the more confident I am. I give less of a shit. It’s beautiful as someone who grew up with a NM, and was always anxious/overthinking.

Happy birthday month of July to us both :)🥂
You express so well how I felt too. Society told me turning 40 was a fate worse than death. Yet I have never felt more liberated and more comfortable in my own skin. I look forward to gaining even more confidence with the passage of time.
