Shazam! It's time for a makeover
Makeover seems to be the buzzword of the 21st century. Everywhere you turn someone is making over something – houses, clothes, hairstyles, you name it. So I guess it’s not surprising that after decades Wonder Woman gets a makeover too.
I have to admit I’ve never been convinced that she could save the world in that get-up. Hot pants and knee high boots just don’t seem that practical. Most wonder women I know would rather settle for something comfortable from lululemon and quite likely wouldn’t have their “pretty bits” hanging out either.
Here’s the thing – sometimes a makeover is just what’s called for. If you are like Wonder Woman and have been wearing the same outfits for years, it’s probably time for a change. If you still have the same haircut you had in high school – and you didn’t just graduate – it’s time for something new.
Sometimes when I look at pictures of myself from the past I have a “What was I thinking?” moment. And then I remember that at the time, those glasses, shoulder pads or perms were the height of fashion. Hard to believe, but they were!
Things change.
You change.
A makeover is about bringing your outside self in alignment with your inside self. It has nothing to do with other people telling you what you should look like. I think it has to happen from the inside out. If anyone had bothered to ask Wonder Woman, I wonder what she would have had to say.
What are your makeover thoughts?
Great article! I agree! I read recently that lottery winners have a higher suicide rate. They thought money was the only thing holding them back from their best life, and when that illusion was destroyed, it destroyed them. I feel the same about makeovers - if you look for your outsides to bring you more happiness and confidence without also making sure you're addressing the inner you, you will always feel let down and like something is always "missing".
Thanks for your thoughts Kristi. That's why they say money doesn't buy you happiness.
As one of your experts and as an image consultant, this blog sings with me! A makeover doesn't mean you need to be made over; as though there's something that needs to be fixed. It is more about redifining and refreshing your image on the outside to reflect the person you've become on the inside. I call this "authenticity". I have been known to offer real solutions to real women! and that brand followed me long before Real Fabulous Women came to be! What Carma!
