She’s more confident than I am 😇

You know, sometimes we all need a little push to step into our most confident selves. For me, that push came in the form of my amazing alter ego, Violet! I used to look at other women and think, 'Wow, she's so confident, I wish I could be like that.' And then it hit me: why can't I? Why can't I create that version of myself? Violet isn't just a name; she's the part of me that isn't afraid to wear those bold pink heart-shaped sunglasses, or rock a snug pink turtleneck sweater that perfectly shows off my curves. She's the one who confidently steps out in a sleek black spaghetti strap mini dress paired with daring black thigh-high boots, feeling absolutely fabulous, no matter what anyone else thinks. When I embody Violet, I feel like that confident plus-size woman I always admired. It's like I have permission to be unapologetically me. It’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not, but rather pulling out the bravery and self-love that might be hiding deep down. For me, fashion is a huge part of activating Violet. When I put on an outfit that Violet would wear, like that chic softgirl style, I instantly feel a shift. The way I carry myself changes, my smile gets a little wider, and I walk with more purpose. If you're reading this and thinking you could use a 'Violet' in your life, here's how I started: Define Your Confident Self: What does your most confident self look like, sound like, and feel like? What would they wear? My Violet is bold, glamorous, and owns her curvy figure. Give Them a Name: It sounds silly, but naming her truly helps separate her from your everyday anxieties. It makes it easier to 'step into' that persona. Choose Your Power Outfit: Pick clothes that make you feel invincible. Maybe it's a specific color, a certain style (hello, softgirl vibes!), or a statement accessory like those heart-shaped sunglasses. When you wear it, you become the alter ego. Practice Affirmations: Speak to yourself as your confident alter ego would. "I am beautiful. I am strong. I am worthy." Embrace the Journey: It's not an overnight transformation. Some days Violet is front and center, other days she's a little shy. That's okay! Being a curvy woman in a world that often tries to dictate what we should or shouldn't wear, creating Violet has been my secret weapon. It helps me tackle those days when self-doubt creeps in, giving me the courage to stand tall. It's about celebrating my body, my style, and my unique spirit. So, go ahead, find your inner Violet, and let her shine! You deserve to feel this confident and amazing, rocking your own fabulous OOTD.
