Do you shame your powerful Feminine full expression?

Do you shame your powerful Feminine full expression?
I have changed somewhat in how much of the 'glamorous' side of me I'm willing to express - even in what could be seen as 'mundane' situations.
I wore this to visit a potential school today, to decide about where and when to send Miss L for her education. I realised, as I went out the door, that most people probably wouldn't wear a beautiful white fluffy coat (from the moment I put it on I felt magical) and bright red lips to such a mundane event. I most certainly wouldn't have done in the past.
And though I was always actually raised to wear 'pretty' dresses (and not jeans because they weren't 'Feminine' - I specify that because the appreciation for Feminine beauty in early life is actually quite a rare experience, and part of my gift) - somewhere in life, I learned to *shame* the part of me that loved Feminine glamour.
I became a 'leggings' girl, wearing black, and oversized baggy items, for all occasions, in an attempt to hide my Feminine beauty, magic and radiance and not be seen. 🖤
I know it sounds strange to some to speak about this - clothing can feel a very superficial and shallow thing to focus on; it can appear that I'm talking about something so meaningless. I get it, because for a while it felt that way to me.
Until I realised (somewhere in the material for liberation of people envying my bright red lipstick) that 'Adornment' is how we *express* our unique Archetypal Remedy. It's how we shine who we are, brightly into the world 💋💄🎀✨
Aka - clothing is how we outwardly *express* our *soul* and her uniqueness.
My clothes are consciously and intentionally harnesses to embody and express my soul essence of Love, Magic, Power, Brilliance and Radiance. ✨
It took me deep reclamation of some of the fears of being in my radiant 'Feminine soft power' (and the radiance, the beauty and wildness of it all) to be able to express my soul fully, via Adornment.
Now, it is an embodiment practice that I recommend to all the women who walk this path - because we can harness this art to embody the woman we want to become. I often invite women to adorn themselves with something that represents the Archetypal Remedy they are working with, for example Gold jewellery for Aurum.
I'm curious, what do your clothes represent of your soul? 🌹💃🏼✨
PS - I now frequently get told "you look radiant/glowing" (this happened today) or asked if I have had a facial when I've done nothing at all, which speaks volumes as 'Radiance' is one of my soul essence words (and very Archetypal Phosphorus, the substance on the end of a match, which typically healers are - they're here to shine light). What people are really witnessing and reflecting is my soul's full expression - and it is magnetic.
All my love,
if you've any questions, send me an email.
