Style, fashion, and spirituality. Can these three words come together on the same page or even in the same sentence? Finding these can be a contradiction always.
The strict perspective of fashion and style can never come together with spirituality. But surely we can make it relatable and these three concepts are really connected to each other.
You might have thought that how these three can be connected. It is so simple and we can take it from our daily lives. If you observe the clothes we pick daily are not random decisions, they are based on a definition of ourselves at a subconscious level, and this decision has to do with our values, environment, self-esteem, self-value and self-love. All these components are part of our spirituality. Self-love and care are aspects of life better the more love we feel for ourselves the more care we’ll take in every aspect of our life.
If you are a fashion lover, the style and the entire glamorous environment are scented with creativity and art expressed in the form of clothing, makeup, shoes, hairstyles, fragrances, and colors. After all, we get to use these things beyond the purpose of solely dressing but with the intention to make our own statement and define ourselves.
When walking through a spiritual path we tend to tag fashion and style as something cold, vain and materialistic. We forget we are living a human experience and fashion, style, and pretty things are also part of this world. There is nothing wrong with being fully committed to a spiritual path and also taking care of the physical image. As it is said in the metaphysical text The Kybalion “As is above, so is below. As is below, so is above.” The same occurs with our appearance and our spirit, if we feel balanced and harmonious on the inside the outside must reflect the same.
You can infuse your style with the light of your spirit. There is plenty of theory when it comes to determining the best style for a person but let’s not worry about it right now.
First, find your essence. You must know your identity. Who you are? What do you love? What makes your heart sing? Based on the answers that you have for these questions try to visualize how these qualities look like, what colors they are, what shape they have and how they materialize. Style according to your personal happiness and self-esteem.
Second. Accessorize your divine attire. Find accessories that resonate with your style, you don’t have to wear expensive clothes to look good; you can make a statement with the right complements. Maybe you decide to wear a plain white tee and jeans but you upgrade your look with fantastic neon heels and a necklace with geometric shapes or spiritual symbols. You are a queen or a king, to whom you were created. Feel it and show it.
Third. Be confident. There is nothing more attractive than confidence. So once you are all glammed and gorgeous feel your authenticity, feel your Divinity. God makes no mistakes and you are one of His creations.
You are already doing a fantastic job with your spiritual path; Your self-esteem and faith can lead you to prefer the best always.
