The Italian Essence

I found myself in Italy.  To be honest I didn’t, until that point, realise that I had lost myself, but when I had that feeling that I come home, that I felt complete, that I really liked the person I was there, and my petals started to unfurl to show the real me – then I understood how lost I had been.

​

All at once I knew who that real me was, the authentic person at my very core.  The person I had once been but had got lost in all the flotsam of life.  The expectations of others, careers, relationships, motherhood, deep-seated emotional triggers, had all chipped away at that core person, until its shape was unrecognisable.  Had I not had the good fortune of going to live in Italy, I could have probably plodded on for ever, remaining in that shape, happy-ish, but feeling ever so slightly dissatisfied and ill-at-ease, as if I was an imposter in my own life.

​

And it was there, in Italy, that I learnt that clothes and how we dress is entirely to do with expressing who we are.  The psychological impact of why we dress like we do, our whole body-image and the effect it has on our self-respect, is critical to understand, as only by learning this we will then be able to be our truly authentic selves.  Then, and only then, can we become who we were meant to be and with that grows self-confidence, self-respect, the respect of others and that energy will attract like for like and your whole world will start to change and grow.

​

I have spent many years learning, researching, and teaching this to other women who, through no fault of their own, have lost their way, lost their identity, become invisible and become completely confused and frustrated about their sense of style.
