Hello kindred spirit! Thank you so much for tuning in! I create videos on slow living and my life in France! If you're curious to see more of my content, check out my blog! As a writer, I have a full archive of posts written from the past 5 years on my blog about how to find more joy in your life as well as slow and joyful living and presence. I hope it brings you as much joy as it did me making it. Have a magical day, lovely ☀️
Hello lovelies! Here's a video topic that's close to my heart: self-expression and why it's so important! I've been meaning to put this together for quite some time. How you dress affects how you feel! So allow yourself to feel good 🦋✨What do you wear that makes you feel most joyous, most yourself?
I let my granddaughter pick my clothes the other day. She's 5. We did our makeup and she chose the colors. The outfit she picked was what I might wear most days with Muppets on my socks, tie dye sneakers, bright Alice in Wonderland sweatshirt, and long blue skirt. My hair is purple with spikes and buzzed on the sides and back. I've gotten nose and ear piercings that women my age aren't supposed to get (or so I've been told and conditioned to believe). I refuse to dim my light ever again to make someone else comfortable. I take up space and am not invisible. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business. I don't care. I dress like a 5year old in colors and styles that make my heart smile. We need more of this confidence in the world. Thank you!
yes!! I love all of this 😻👏Take up space, shine big and radiate your light! We need more of it. "Not my problem" is one of my go-to phrases this year (as a former people pleaser, it really helps remind me that other people's opinions are not my business). Such an empowering way to go out into the world and live true to you 🦋🕊
I love the way you dress and in my case as a guy I never follow the stupid trends
I’m 50 and just now stating to play with fashion. I was always afraid of making a mistake. Thank you for inspiring freedom. ❤
there are no mistakes when it comes to self-expression 😻it's all fun! 💃I'm so glad this inspires you to feel fully free to express yourself🦋
Yes!! I am 47 and in the same boat. I recently bought a tulle skirt and the cashier asked if it was for my daughters. She looked at me like I was crazy when I said it was me... thank you for opening this topic for discussion 🧡
I am 50 too 🙌 My creativity and passion for fashion is waking up again. I love diversity and color. Loving these outfits Helena is wearing!!! 😃❤️
56 years old and just now fully embracing my 70s flower child tie-dye and 1930s Ginger Rogers glam looks!
I have found my tribe-52 here! ❤I too am here and playing with clothes! I feel like I’m more ME than ever before. Here’s a tip I’ve learned in trying new things: thrift! Go with thrift store and consignment purchases until you get the feel for what is really right for you. At least that’s helped me develop my style😊
Bravo 👏🏼 My husband chose my clothes for 36yrs. I know what you’re thinking 🤔 It was a difficult situation but I’ve been free for 5 years. It’s wonderful to wake up and wear what I love and to be ME ☺️❤️
Love this topic. I also really like your vibe Helena - you definitely sparkle, which is very contagious! I agree that we all have to learn to dance to the beat of our own drum. On colour, I have always been drawn to brightness because when life feels heavy it is colour and zesty scents that help lift us up. Funny how even in the workplace it is normalised to judge others based on whether they fit in. I think not fitting in opens up a world of possibilities with opportunities to reinvent ourselves and maybe change our path in life. At the end of the day it is your reflection you see in the mirror so your opinion counts first.💞🌸
oh yes, color is such a big one! A total gamechanger in how it makes us feel. Indeed about the workplace! It was one of the inspirations for this videos actually! I remember experiencing a lot of that judgment when I used to work an office job and how everyone always felt subconsciously pressured to look the same. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video 💕 Self-expression (and reinvention!) is something I'm so passionate about making videos on! 🦋
I'm more than 50 and I overwhelmingly agree.....express who you really are, be authentic......life becomes so much more meaningful and fun!
You are glowing ✨️ beautiful soul ✨️ 💛 💖
aw thank you!! I had a lot of fun filming the different outfits in my room 🥰 The energy translates!
I'm in love with your beautiful dresses. Big high five 👋 to Miss Patina ♥️
thanks lovely!! They are the best! 💕 Best wearing their clothes since 2018! I'm obsessed
That's is so true. I really enjoy seeing a woman dress nice and feeling good about herself. I'm the type of man who gives a compliment. Nice to see someone wear something that makes them feel themselves.
I love your style, the way you express yourself. I so relate to you in many ways. I feel like you are a soul sister. For me I don't care what people think of me, I love dressing up everyday since I was really young. I get so many compliments all the time. I do it for me because it makes me feel good about myself. I'm a minimalist and everything I have I love it. It's an art for me, the fabric, the colors. it just feed my soul. Thank you for your beautiful sharing. I'm French and I moved to CA many years ago and I love it here. Merci.
Hello kindred spirit!! 🥰 Oh this comment brought such a big smile to my face! We really are soul sisters! 💃 It is indeed an art form 💕 Keep shining and being you!! ☀ (Ahhhh I miss california all the time - such a special place in my heart. so glad to hear you're there and love it!)
@@helenawoods Thank you for your sweet message. Yes CA is an amazing place, I'm next to San Francisco. France is a special place too but I feel like the energy is lighter here and more open. So i'm glad you are there to bring your magic and beauty. They need you there. A bientot.
Liked before watching, because I know I'm going to love it! ❤
thank you Katt! 🤗💕
Me too, as I have been experienced some critiquing what I wear whilst others have complimented me on the same items. I always wear what I want and ignore what someone else thinks because if what I wear makes me happy then that is what matters. 🙂
@@jazeyrazey4301 yes!! woo I love hearing this! 💃 Keep wearing what makes you feel beautiful! 🥰
@@helenawoods Thank you! I'm much older than you, so for a long time I've subscribed to wearing whatever makes me feel beautiful and happy, and I won't stop any time soon, haha. 😃 Just finished watching and we are kindred spirits, indeed, as I agree with all you addressed, Helena, style is not the same as fashion - style is letting one's individuality shine out to the world! 👍 YOU do YOU !! 👍
Another GEM💎
Thank you ☺️
Helena your fashion style is the best. Your clothes are so pretty and tasteful, with those wonderful collars. I would love to shop where you shop.
oh thank you Ruth! Collars are my fav 💕 I thrift, enjoy wandering small boutiques and a lot of my clothes are from Miss Patina! Simple Retro i like too
Unique😉
What a wonderful and inspiring message! I loved it. ❤️
This is a must see video for people who say a student should avoid fashion. They don't know how important your look is. I feel empowered in blazer as I'm a literature student ✍
I wish I could love this video a hundred times over. Such a wonderful message - thank you!
I love this. 💕 I love to wear color too! Especially around my face. 😘 Thank you
As someone who loves expressing myself through my style, I really appreciate the message of this video. 💖 “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” -Albert Einstein
Yes!! Love!!💞
Dear Helena, thank you for addressing this! Growing up with 3 big brothers I have always had a hard time to show my femininity. This comes at just the right timing for me on my path of embracing my own authenticity and daring to show it. Thank you 🙏✨
You inspired me to get a bright yellow coat! (I rarely wear bold colors). Had to order it on Etsy. I love wearing it and get lots of compliments! Gloomy cold days feel brighter instantly! Thank you Helena.
YAY!! ☀️☀️😻 love this!!
"How you dress is not an indication of your intelligence." Can I have a t-shirt with this sentence on xD?!
What a lovely Video. I enjoyed it very much.
Your Style is so Unique. And it fits so good to your soul ✨💃🏻💫
I love the way you dress! I've been wanting to dress more whimsical lately...
Indicator of intelligence is humility.
Love it
I love how fashion is coming back into style! :)
I love your fashion!
thank you!! ✨💕
My god Helena I got chills! Thank you so much for such beautiful content!
First Lady Michelle Obama, a Havard law school graduate and a fabulous First Lady is one of the most fashionable and intelligent women that I know.
love Michelle Obama!! 😻 She is such an expander and a brilliant example of how we can be both!
Great video!!! You're such a beautiful honest, courageous and vibrant soul. I feel more aligned when I wear cute dresses and skirts. 😘
aw thank you Sofia!! Shine bright in what makes you feel lovely 🕊💕
👏 👗
Have you heard AOC speak about this topic? Very powerful.
I’m a dress and medi-skirt kinda girl. I love the 40s fashion with the A-line dress style. I found a few pieces and I can’t wait to start wearing them since I work at my kids’ school. I worked in a hospital before and could never dress up the way I do now.
Love, love, loved the message. Thank you for reminding me to dress the way that makes me feel my authentic self and not be ashamed or shy away from what I am naturally attracted to when it comes to clothes. 😊❤
Helena you look great.I think your outfits are fabulous. You go girl
What a great message!! Thank you!!
I also love love love bright-colored clothes; they are the most joyful ones!
Train your mind to be stronger than your feelings if you want to grow.
Fantastica 💖
Thank you 😊 💓 Have wonderful week
Just what I needed to hear ❤❤❤❤ Love your style, it is so yours!
I love this video, thank you Helena :)
I love your clothes and how you put them together.
Thankyou for the good video🥰😊
And that cat coat is adorable! 🐱
1. You're absolutely right.
2. You're in my neighborhood! (unless the shots of you crossing Park Ave were old. ) Let me know if you'd like to grab coffee while you're here. (:
I'm in France at the moment! i've been working on gathering footage for this video for many months! But that would have been so much fun! Maybe next time! :)
Beautiful video, Helena! Could you tell me where your blue winter coat is from? I have loved it for a long time! That color 💜
J Crew! I got it sale on sale on Black Friday a few years back. You might be able to find it on Poshmark because I don't think they still sell it!
Love this❤️❤️❤️
Lovely video, I've been thinking a lot about this topic recently. Have really been enjoying investing it pretty, feminine clothes recently but occasionally catch myself, worrying that I'm being vain or frivolous for doing so. But what is the shame in admiring beautiful things and gaining inspiration from them? You're right - how we dress does affect how we feel. Of course we shouldn't rely on our clothes for inner security or feel less than if we can't afford all the nice clothes we would like, but nothing wrong with wearing something that makes us feel happy and gives a boost of confidence ☺️
I love this video! Thank you for encouraging us to play. I’m slowly collecting pieces from ModCloth, many with dinosaurs on them! I love expressing myself with fashion until someone notices and I feel silly, shallow and like I’m seeking attention. Your advice, encouragement and inspiration was most welcome! 😘
I love that you are not afraid of being you! That you don't make yourself small! That you DON'T play small! That you don't let the societal 'norms' dictate how you express yourself! You are so right about intelligence is being humble, curious, kind and non-judgmental and not about how you dress yourself. You are all of these as well as fun, loving and a very intelligent person and entrepreneur! I have been working on NOT shrinking in the corner and playing small. I did an experiment this weekend being around someone that makes me feel uncomfortable and get triggered every time I am around them. I simply changed my perspective - rather than worry about how this person will treat me, I engaged a conversation with them, treated them with respect and at the same time interacted with others while being myself instead of sitting in the corner, hiding or leaving the space.
Love this! A great message. You express such joy and confidence! Your style is wonderful and looks great on you 🥰🥰
❤️
What a freeing healthy message! We’ll done. Think for yourself-dress for yourself.🐇💕
That’s so true Helena! If we factor on the mental health therapeutic benefits of the clothes we dress, how they make us feel, how they heal us subconsciously. Unfortunately the society judges takes feminine women less seriously professionally. A strong woman learns not to care.
I appreciate your fashion style,
The cat coat & the kitty collar are fabulous
I admire and respect people whose dress is creative and independent!,,
I 💖 your style and all your outfits👌
oh thank you :) this is one of my favorite videos
@@helenawoods I happen to have the same rainbow earrings😀 and I get a lot of my clothing and accessories from my grandma's wardrobe!
dress "cute?"
Yup! Dressing cute is fun and fabulous! 💁♀💃
@@helenawoods Oh, I like the way you dress, I just don't know what "cute" means since you seemed to be talking about many different styles one would define as their own. I haven't heard that word for a while ...
@@debra13 to me "cute" is just a word.☀
@@helenawoods :-)
