What makes you feel confident/sexy/readyfortheday

Hello PSers!

There is a documentary on Netflix called In Louboutin's Shoes. The movie mentions that women are in love with these red bottom shoes/heels because it makes them feel sexy etc. Even though my favorite type of shoe is possibly flats or going barefoot, I can appreciate the sleekness and beauty of the object. Regardless of the astronomical price, I don't think I would ever feel sexy or confident if I wasn't comfortable though. My feet my look good but I'm probably trying to a hide grimace on my face.

I was curious then since it must differ for many people... what makes you feel confident/sexy/ready for the day? Thanks in advance!
 
For me if my face is not acting up I feel like I can handle almost anything. Sad but true. I don't really wear makeup so if my face is clear and I can face (haha play on words intentional) the world without cover up I am happy.

Of course I love wearing a nice dress and my SW boots but really it all doesn't matter too much if my face is good I am good.

And I am with you. I must be comfortable in whatever (shoes, clothes etc) I am wearing. Comfort is critical. No heels for this girl.

I would love to say I am confident and feel good no matter the superficial but that would not be true. It does affect the way I feel. ::)

PierreBear, What makes you feel confident and ready to face the world?
 
A good fitting bra that lifts the girls up to Jesus.

It's like making a bed really, if what goes on first isn't right then anything you put on top is just going to look like a busted can of biscuits. Ain't nothing sexy about that.
 
Lipstick!
I don't leave the house without it.

And I agree StephanieLynn, about the bra! I see far too many women wearing ill-fitting bras.
 
HI:

While I do not wear mascara everyday--when I do it is colored YSL. I feel like a movie star with big bang colored lashes. When I wear full make up, great earrings, and heels I know I rock!:lol::saint:

cheers--Sharon

Why would it be a given that everyone every day feels confident, sexy, and ready for the day? :think:
Is happy all the time even a reasonable expectation?
Unrealistic expectations strike me as a recipe for eventual disappointment and even depression.

I just live and take things as they come.
There are good days and bad.

My favorite shade of red lipstick and a spray of “Live Irrésistible“.
 
Clothes that fit me well or make me feel comfortable, earrings, perfume, and curling my eyelashes.
Jewellery such as a good watch and my nicer pieces will always boost my mood and confidence.

DK :))
 
+1 for coffee and morning meditation at 5:15 before everyone else gets up.

I also promised myself when I became a stay at home mom that I would still dress well (casual but nice) and always put on my Texas face (full makeup -lol). IMHO, gym clothes are for the gym.

I will kindly pass the baton to someone whose left boob doesn't need its own zip code.....like seriously if I lean too much to the left I'm prone to tipping :lol-2:

Volunteers? :Up_to_something2:
 
Are you serious? I'm 57 years old with an auto immune disease and a crap back. If I wake up, I think it's a good day.

Whether or not I'm ready to face it is a whole other thing.

And I'm with Kenny on this one - it's just not important to me to look sexy and attractive for the world. Try to define 'sexy' and it's basically impossible to separate it from being desirable - and not to one's self - to somebody else. And I'm over that. Which is not to say that I try to look horrible either; grooming is important to me, because it's important to ME. But sexy? Ugh - too hard.

I've also had enough life's experience to know that you can NEVER be ready for what life can throw at you, and a good lipstick ain't gonna cut it.

And now I should probably go kick some puppies and tell children that Christmas is cancelled, right? I'm really not that miserable, tho. I've made peace with the world and my place in it. I've accepted who I am and I like that person. I'm surrounded by the best people I know and my life is one that I would choose. I go through life thinking I'm the luckiest woman alive. But I always have my fingers crossed behind my back, knowing it could blow up in my face at any moment.

I think the absence of pain - both emotional and physical - is what makes people feel competent to deal with their lives. Discomfort and struggle limit us in ways we can't ignore, and make us feel altogether too human and fragile. When people are contemplating how to feel sexy and confident, they're already coming at life from a pretty rarified altitude.

So many of us live lives with the weight of the world resting on our shoulders. Few of us dance across its clouds.

ETA Let me know if you'd like me to add 'bah humbug' somewhere in this post! :D Sorry about that, @PierreBear !
 
Loved your post @mrs-b

Pierre Bear, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. No matter how good you look for your age, once a woman hits 50, she becomes invisable.
It's just the way it is.

I need make up.

Not all of us, my dear.
For some reason, people still notice me when I wear my pink yoga mat hat.

@kenny love the yoga mat hat and what about the ring-over-glove look. To die for:lol:
 
Another vote for lipstick. I feel confidant and beautiful when I have it on. Nothing garish, just adds some color to my face.

Yeah, but to get it off I have to ask my husband to take his teeth out and suck my finger.
 
A really good, intense workout (preferably a speed workout that I dread) that leaves me pouring sweat so that I drip all over the treadmill, all the way to the locker room and I can ring it out of my workout clothes. Then a hot shower and some clean towels and clean clothes, and I’m good to go.
 
@kenny who gave you my picture!!!!

Your comments in this thread are killing me Kenny!
 
Nothing at all, I was born this sexy!! :lol:

In all reality I am a warts-and-all kind of guy; I have sun spots on my face and nose (and apparently it is a big nose according to @PintoBean), I have scars and lumps, hobbits feet and I am losing my hair. I could probably do something about all of those things if I really wanted to and not much I do can change that they're happening...

Welcome to apathy via low self esteem I suppose :rolleyes:

Just like people move south as they get older, so does hair on men (head to feet in your case since you mentioned hobbit feet:-o)
 
Definitely coffee first! :D Then I have agree - nice perfume and some makeup always help me feel good about myself. I work in a environment where it's required/expected to look "polished" but I do genuinely enjoy putting my makeup on each day. I know it's not for everyone but I enjoy being creative and trying new combinations/looks each day. :kiss:
 
What happened yesterday usually determines how I feel today. I’m not the “it’s a brand new day” sort, more the “what’s my current storyline and what can I do to I improve it?”...

This way of this thinking is a blessing and a curse. I hardly ever have ‘bad hair days’, ‘forgot to do laundry’ days, ‘wish I’d done this yesterday’ days. Thing is, there’s only so much time in a day, so I’ll fudge the definition of “tomorrow” to make sure I finish up enough to feel good about today - if tomorrow doesn’t start until 8am staying up until 4 to finish something ‘counts’ toward making tomorrow a good day... and of course when tomorrow rolls around I’m exhausted and no amount of makeup is going to hide it, but I feel good. Satisfied. Confident.
I’m realising - slowly - that it’s unsustainable.

Oh yes how did I forget... A good workout every AM before I leave the house is what keeps me sane and ready to face the day. Sweating is a great way to work out anxiety and stress.:appl:
