"There is no reason why we need to be ashamed for looking like women"
Thanks. Just... thanks
YESS. PERIODT.
No one tells you that you should? I dress femininely and no one cares.
@@nm9688 It's actually more common than you think unfortunately! Here (especially as a teenager) wearing a dress or more feminine outfits is odd and "uncool"
@@rosewalker1115 1. Wearing a dress doesn't make you look more or less like a woman. It's a piece of fabric.
2. No, other women are not 'jealous' of you. At most they might make a comment or two, but soon they will accept it as your style. I've never seen people who are actually alternative in their style complain like this.
As a teenager we tend to feel self conscious about everything, I get it. Embrace your style, don't worry about a little extra attention and you'll be fine, I promise. You will not be oppressed for wearing floral skirts.
@@rosewalker1115 I've noticed that and I'm young and I hate it
Femininity is not the same as girlishness. There is a wisdom and maturity in feminine clothes. 💯
Elizabeth Anne there is a time for everything

And I for the life of me cannot Master it but I totally agree with you
..
THANK YOU👏👏👏 omg finally someone who knows the difference!
Every time I wore a dress or a skirt my family would say "Where are you going?" It made me feel really self conscious but I just kept doing it until they stopped lol they still do it sometimes but you just got to keep pushing through!
Lady Lazarus mine say the same exact thing! Every time I put in effort they would assume I’m going somewhere specific. After I started doing it everyday I think they realized it was the new “normal”
Just keep pushing through, my family has gotten used to the outfit's I wear. I could go the grocery store in pumps and cute dress and they won't question it anymore, just do you 😁
My friends and classmates do that to me. It used to bother me, but now I'm used to it. Sometimes I even like it.
Ikr! You put on a dress and now you're "dressed up"
Omg! Story of my life ! Haha :\
I love Korean fashion. They know how to embrace their feminity.
I totally agree! Korean fashion is a great inspiration to me and others starting on their femininity journey!
@@ohkaryukai Agreed! 😊
I follow some asian girls on instagram to get more inspired fashion wise! Do you shopping online? I was wondering how to bot get the wrong sizes and wrong items that don't suit my body
I live in Japan and I have been to Korea and I can say Japanese women are way more feminine but also comfortable and modest than Koreans.
@@Marinaaccoount I personally like shopping on YesStyle! They don't have a generic size chart, but rather provide the measurements for each size of each item, including the length of the item. I find it very helpful as generic size charts seem to be inaccurate more often than not. As for finding items that suit your body, I would recommend going to a store and trying on clothing with a variety of silhouettes to find those that suit you best. You could also determine your body type (pear, hourglass, apple, etc.) and research how to best dress for that body type, there are many resources for this online. I hope this was helpful!
You're right about feminine clothing now being considered "formal." The attitude has become "Why should I wear a dress/skirt/ect.? I'm not going anywhere special..."
I stopped wearing t-shirts altogether and I always wear a blouse. I try to wear skirts as often as I can, but when I don't, I always wear dark, high waisted jeans. I always use a handbag unless I go to the gym or hiking. I also always have a bracelet on. ☺️
I’ve been trying to make the transition to this kind of thing rather than wearing free t-shirts from uni every day - it’s tough!
Aidan B haha i swear i relaate 💯
I love when people can dress up cute on a t’shirt. I always feel super sporty on it because is just looks so baggy on me even when is tight in my body. Weird! Lol
yes queen! Do you have any tips on how not to feel uncomfortable or out of place? at my school no one dresses up and I feel so weird wearing anything besides jeans and a t shirt
OMG same! Everybody just wears active wear and i feel so out of place when i wear anything else!
I’m in college where everyone wears active wear to class and I always try to dress nicer and more feminine. This is such a helpful resource and I loved the diversity. God bless
CoversbyKatie my friend is also in college and she is always in the cutest outfits. She even puts her hair in curlers every night. I’m trying to be more like her. I think it’s a great practice because these students will get a job and they won’t feel comfortable in work/business wear because they’ve spent the last 4+ years in yoga pants.
same here. everyone wears active wear and it’s easy to feel out of place when you’re wearing something girly and casual and not workout clothes. it gets me a lot of stares but who cares! i’d rather wear it than blend in to the crowd with running shorts
I love how you gave so many examples of women of different shapes, sizes, ages and shades! I'm a new subscriber and am loving all your content. I always come away feeling so empowered as a women!
NRZ Did she really? What did she say?
Emily Hill all I could think about was, “how long it must have taken her to find appropriate pics!”
I feel you girl! I’ve foreverrrr been called “extra” by friends/roommates for dressing up when going out. Guess what. I still do it. At this point in my life in my mid 20s I am who I am and I love. I just moved to a city that expresses themselves the way I always have. Worth ittttt!!!
The diversity in the photos make me tear up every time 😪💛
Nejat Alkadir femininity is for all women because it is within us all! Just have to highlight it 😍😍
@@basketofdependables4244 For most of us, culture is important and culture and femininity are inclusive... since the cultures will thrive, the femininity will survive.
Basket of Dependables Dude why are u on like every comment about diversity...? If you don’t like it then just leave. Please stop returning to the comment section to spread hate, it’s not cool.
Very true!
The variety and representation of women!!! Different ages/cultures/shapes/religions...Oh My Gosh...Thank You!!!
Basket of Dependables Perhaps for someone who is more mundane, linear, subpar and bland...but no worries just keep watching her channel and even you can level up your outlook!
@@basketofdependables4244 She's being nice. You were the one that came in with the negativity. Anyways, thank you Mrs. Midwest. As for you...have a good day.
Basket of Dependables Why critique a genuine compliment wrapped in gratitude intended for someone else?
Basket of Dependables Yep, so you should opt to comment your opinion on your own accord separately, instead of replying to mine.
@@ColdDiva "Perhaps for someone who is more mundane, linear, subpar and bland"
That's kind of rude. :P I mean way to show how wonderful your lifestyle choices are.
I love how you showed us pictures of girls in a hijab , thank you for including us
I love that in Japan teenage girls look and act girly while adult women look and act more feminine and give you that mother vibe ♡
Mah Harbi I adore Japanese style. I like to watch the show Terrace House sometimes! 😍💓
@@MrsMidwest Mrs Midwest cool ! I watch Japanese youtubers like nami channel sometimes !❤
Yes, I’ve noticed this too. I absolutely adore the way Asian Parents dress their girls. It’s perfectly age appropriate for their age, cute, casual but girly.
Your qualities, elegance, and integrity are admirable.
You remind me of a princess 👸
What's the point of looking or sounding like princess, though? It's fine, but imo it's not exactly praiseworthy.
She's a Cinderella. ☺️🥰💕🌸
She reminds me of flowers.💕🌸
I love that you use all different bodies, races and cultures to demonstrate what you’re talking about. It makes my heart so happy to know that I’m not the only traditionalist who isn’t elitist or biased towards slim white women.
You are beautiful 💕
Basket of Dependables i think mrs Midwest isn’t in the wrong showing diversity because femininity isn’t inherent in only European culture, and her channel is about embracing femininity, not just European feminine lifestyles.
Though I am very pro European culture and embrace my European cultural standards and styles, embracing femininity in all cultures is an overall gain for society, as applying true femininity to your culture tends to push women into embracing racial homogeneity.
Sylvie Kb why does someone always have to take a nice comment and turn it into something else? The world is set up for white people. Always has been. I think it’s beautiful when other people recognise that and show that beauty isn’t just for white, thin women.
This is my opinion and I’m entitled to it. Have a beautiful day 💕
C W i agree with your compliment to Mrs. Midwest 👏 it’s entertaining to see people get pressed about other people celebrating diversity 😂 but I guess that’s what you gotta deal with on the internet 💃🏽
@@sabias3932 Right!
Could you please do a video showing us different feminine hairstyles? You seem to master it perfectly!
Seconding, please! I currently just do the "air-dried" look (naturally straight hair) and am feeling ready to step up my game!
Yes can you do this vud please trying to grow hair longer and have no idea for hair styles I'm late tpthe game at 28
Yes!!
I have no idea what to do with my 2c hair
Dropping some truth bombs down the line Mrs, that competition part is so true.
When women upgrade their appearance - when men upgrade their goals and climb = snide comments and envy
Never be discouraged and keep on marching your path.
I don't get it. I don't really care an ounce if other people look nice -- I may find that inspiring. But as soon as they open their mouth and what I hear coming out of is pride in their appearance and derision toward others for not looking the same, I'm done. I'd rather look ugly. Do "pretty" people not get that? Everything has to be that other people are just jealous of all your amazing success?
REGULATE& STAIN well, I never thought what I was doing was special until women started hating on me for dressing nicely. So it’s not an ego thing. It’s an observation
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me I see you comment on her videos a lot so I checked out your channel. Great content! I hope it goes even more!
@@Mom_of_the_Chickies Exactly - it's an observation
Appreciate you. Have a great one!
I think improvement faces opposition on both sides. A man can start dressing nicer, a woman can aim higher, either way someone might feel bitter because someone is getting better at something and they haven’t done so yet or don’t know how and they don’t deal with that well
i remember as a child i would flat out reject dresses and pink (i'd literally run away from my mom whenever she would try to put me in a dress) because i thought being 'girly' was frowned upon. I wanted to be the 'cool' girl instead. Now i'm finally embracing my femininity inside and outside (:
There are plenty of us out here! haha You got this
Oh my gosh same!
I’ve always been a tomboy so I’ve always been a jeans and t shirt girl and to be honest I feel good and comfortable in it. But I loved the fact that you mentioned that simply by changing the colors up a bit, t shirt and jeans can become feminine. So thanks! I’m gonna try to add a balanced touch more
Thank you for this topic! A lot of feminine gurus recommend us to dress more feminine but never touch on casual wear.
The yoga pants epidemic - you’re right, they are mostly for utility.
Cynthia L i like wearing yoga pants with long shirts and jackets, or when I’m being active/hiking. But the whole yoga pants with t shirt combo is just not flattering on most women.
Violet Reichert I think it’s cute on some women. The can make your legs look long
The yoga pants need to stay at the gym.
The yoga pants look trashy & lazy, & stay at the gym
I wear yoga pants because I have chronic pain/neuropathy. It's not practical for me to wear dresses with my lifestyle (i'm disabled) and jeans/other pants cause me pain. Some people just wear them because they have to.
I love how she points out that as a girl anytime you wear a dress you always get asked “why are you so dressed up?” I’ll wear a very casual dress and literally EVERYONE asks if I’m going somewhere or why I’m so dressed up.
Exactly what i was looking for. As a Christian teen in todays day it's pretty hard to find feminine casual modest outfits on the high street. maybe I'll try thrifting more!
I do have the same problem.
Same here. It's great to actually learn how to sew and/or make patterns so if there're pieces you can't find, you can try making them yourself
I have tried but I guess that's not my thing Haha. My young sister does it for me since long time ago.
In some countries is quite different to find clothing for Christian people, Costa Rica one of them, so people got have to find the way to get the clothing they need.
Thrifting is a great way to find feminine clothes! But if you know how or can learn how to make alterations you will find it a lot easier to find things because you can adjust them to fit you when you find something you like but doesn't fit.
Hello fellow Christian
Omg I resonate with “feeling attacked” & “jealous” of feminine women.. that is so funny!!! Why is that?!! I am looking forward to embracing my transformation into femininity! 💖
I love how u included hijabi women too. we feel very included, thank you.
You know you’ve finally found your true friends when you start to put more effort into your outfits and they compliment you and say you look nice!!!
Greta S !! THIS !! So much truth here. Also a good lesson for us: may we build our friends up instead of making them feel insecure! 💓
I overheard a conversation recently where a daughter told her mother and maybe her aunt she was planning on wearing her denim skirt to Christmas dinner. Her mother and aunt asked why she was dressing up. She said it’s just a jean skirt and they said exactly a skirt. I felt so bad for her and also how is a denim skirt dressing up too much. ?!?
omg when i was starting to read your comment I thought they'd complain that the skirt is too casual but really, dressing up? wow🤦♀
Your comment reminded me of when I was a on a school exchange in Germany and we went to theatre. All of us Polish girls wore dresses, and all of German girls wore pants/jeans. I think it's because in Germany they want to be more progressive and reject everything feminine...
Honestly this video is so helpful, being a college girl and just always being on the go it’s hard to dress feminine but this video really helps
Can you please do a feminine look book? Like show us all the outfits you wore in one week? 😊😊
In college, male friends often commented that I always "look nice" or "put together". I wore almost exclusively sundresses and skater skirts. Even in the winter I often wore skirts with sweaters and black tights. To me, my outfits were so easy because dresses are just one piece and I didn't have to think about it. I just feel better and more put together when wearing what a previous job I had called "snappy casual" 😊
Hi, Mrs Midwest! I wanted to let you know that you inspired me to dress much more modestly and I've never felt this confident and comfortable. I'm at easy with my figure at last and I actually feel pretty. There is something magical in redefining your beauty through the way you carry yourself as opposed to the amount of skin showing. Thank you for sharing your views and demonstrating yourself what elegance and beauty are.
I find it so much easier to dress femininely during summer - in autumn and winter I find I dress more in trousers and heavy coats, that hides your figure more. But you made some great points in this video that certainly give me something to think about 😊
I like to wear long skirts with long boots. It can look really chic with the right pieces if you pair them well. Leggings underneath will give you some added warmth. 😙
Her Sons & Arrows Don’t tell anyone but I did purchase yoga pants to put under my skirts this winter.
@@Progamerjay100 I live in canada so skirts are a no go for fall 😭 I'm already wearing my winter gear lol
Met too! I started wearing maxi skirts this summer and it was great, but now I’m dreading going back to my frankly uncomfortable jeans and hoodies
Saarah xxx Just because of the weather doesn’t mean you have to go back to jeans. I bought tights nylons yoga pants and I’m right now looking for a long coat. I am determined to go through the winner with skirts and dresses.
I started wearing dresses and skirts six months ago and boy did I get noticed and questioned why I was doing this and where was I going that day that was so special. I did not let it tampered with my new goal which would be continual feminine wardrobe. Now it is six months later and I still feel really good when I go to pick up my clothes at night and go to wear them in the morning. As far as jeans and skirts I’ve never looked back. Dresses and skirts are something I’ve always enjoyed and my husband really enjoys to see me in as well. There is nothing more attractive to a man then a feminine woman. Just watch the show Calamity Jane. When you look different from this larger modern crowd beware of a lot more attention from classier men and stares from modern society. They will look at you because you look different Let’s face it it’s not common to see a woman in a dress but it will always will be in a good way. And who knows maybe you’ve influenced them to look a little more feminine in their every day life. It’s hard to walk away from the larger crowd and start doing things that are different. I stopped following them and now I look different because have embraced my femininely. If you look good you will feel good.
For these people that want to wear yoga pants I agree it is a totally comfy feel but it is not feminine. It’s easier to feel comfy. And that makes it easier for them make money off of you. Thank you for making this video. A lot of women need to hear it so they can make the first step.
I do appreciate you for including various types of fashion for white, black, Asian, hijabi, and even older people :) not everyone is as aware as you regarding this matter. Thank you for your good work, please keep it up!
I love how you gave so many different examples that cater to women of all different sizes, ages, races, shapes, etc to be more inclusive!
Exactly what I was thinking!!
In middle school, I was very curvy. I learned then that my figure doesn’t look its best in pants, so that’s when my love affair with skirts began.
As a true pear shape, I ALWAYS accentuate my waist. My top half is petite and my waist is short, so every. single. top I own is cropped with the exception of bodysuits and button blouses meant for tucking in. This is not for showing skin-I also wear layers or high waist bottoms, but the point is proportion!
When I worked at a camp, I cropped the camp tee and either wore it with a breezy a-line drawstring skirt or high waist cutoff Bermuda shorts and converse. I worked outside in the woods like that! 💪 Full makeup and all!
Just because we do hard work doesn’t mean we can’t look like girls. I got sweaty too, I just felt like my true self while doing it!
Love this! As a female engineer in college I have to say it is not the norm to dress and act feminine but it’s something I’m trying to embrace more recently and I really feel like I feel more confident and welcoming.
I know others have mentioned it but I'll forever love how she uses so many different types of people as examples!
I really needed this video, after becoming a mum and kind of neglecting myself, I feel like I've almost forgot how to dress. Sounds silly but true. This video really helped.
A cuppa tea & a biscuit I understand completely!! You aren’t alone with this.
You feel so much better when you take care of how you look. For a couple years I dressed down but once I started dressing up again it made me happier believe it or not. Because when you look good you feel good. One thing I do is get up earlier and make sure I work out and shower and then I have no excuse not to put on today’s clothes instead of lounge clothes. That way you’re ready for anything that comes your way that day.
@@melstyle7619 Great tip!
Yay! It’s so wonderful that you are loving and serving your family, and I’m so excited for you to also spread the love to yourself and enjoy clothing again! Xoxo
@@MrsMidwest thank you for your reply.xx
I came from a strict Christian high school where girls needed to wear dresses or skirts. I never felt bad about it and loved the diversity of my outfits, but when I started university people would literally tell me I wasn't as developed as them because I was "opressed"?? So I love your channel and the messages that you send to young girls, we should never feel like we don't matter or less intelligent just because we like to dress feminine!
I wear scrubs to work and have been for 6 years and I notice that the longer I wore them, the more I wanted to dress feminine. But I always wear cute earring and have my hair and makeup done because it’s the only fun I can have with my work attire 🙂
I genuinely like how you showed different styles and people. It’s nice to see how you can be traditional yet inclusive ❤️
I wore a simple black dress to visit my friend at her retail job the other day and she made such a big deal about it. She was complimenting me but it was just uncomfortable having so much attention drawn to me simply for wanting to present a bit more feminine.
You're such an inspiration and what many young women need to hear these days. We really need to hear that it's okay to be feminine in today's society. Thank you :)
The inclusivity in the pictures/examples is so lovely. Thank you for not just saying you welcome everyone but really showing how much we're all welcome and how we can all be feminine and beautiful regardless of religion, race, size, etc.
I have been raised to literally only take care of myself and that men and women are suppose to be equals. Then I found your channel and you have revolutionized my perception. I started dating this very traditional man. Hes a marine and from southern missouri and we hit it off from the start. He was raised by pastors and I was raised without religion. So learning from you has helped me very much. I want to provide comfort for him and make a home for him. Dinner on the table when he gets home, a clean house, support him, take care of his needs and include God more in our relationships and lives and I feel like your channel is a great learning tool and place for me to come too. Thanks so much sugar.
I love how you include pictures of women in headscarves in your examples!
As a college student, this video is so helpful. I've been watching "how to be elegant" videos and sometimes i feel sad cuz they don't really recommend casual wear, but i still loveeee those gurus. Thank you so much for this
I hate how wearing a dress equates to overdressing, that you must spend tons on clothes, must be trying to be sexy, that you don't care about comfort, or you spend a lot of time getting ready. Um no, at least not necessarily.
The vast majority of dresses are not ball gowns! Many dresses cost much less than jeans/pants, and then there's having to get a top to go with them. You also don't need to be in perfect shape to wear a dress. In fact, they are much more flattering on many bodies.
I like jeans and they can look stylish too, but I find dresses more comfortable, affordable, flattering, and easy. I wish the dress shaming would stop! To me, saying "where you are going?" to someone in a dress is rude. I wouldn't ask someone why they spent a hundred bucks on skinny jeans they can hardly breathe in and highlight every flaw.
I’d LOVE to see a dedicated video on dressing femininely in the winter! I always find it difficult to dress femininely when it gets cold.
I love that you show pictures of woman all over the world with different religions and ethnicities !😍
I am a 16 year old girl who loves dresses and skirts but my school doesnt allow them! I cant wait to get out of high school so i can wear beautiful feminine clothes everywhere❤
WHAT?!?!?! What kind of school banned skirts for girls?
Where do you go to school?
@@schwester6523 I know!😢
@@elizabethpmarshall I live in Greece and I am in a private high school! In others schools here girls wear whatever they want (they don't even have a dress code) but here it doesn't work this way😢😢
Having a hater like Jaclyn Glenn just shows you’re doing something right. Be wary when all men speak well of you. Offending no one is not the answer.. Wow there is a lot of jealousy out there! Love to you & the fem fam💕
I love how these women who say we should support each other love tearing down other women for not being like them. I love that you talk about how to dress feminine and don’t act as though there’s something wrong with dressing androgynously. You’re doing great!
*You always speak the truth!! When you said "feminine clothing is associated with formal clothing" is soo true! When I think about my personal style I have been told that my style is dressy...because I love dresses. Im not wearing a ball gown lol! I like how you broke down all the different "wears". I definitely have a slight androgenic look because I love my bald head & find hair annoying most of the time lol. But at the same time I love wearing statement necklaces,dresses and heels. Watching this video made me literally get up and put jewelry together with my dresses!! You are amazing Mrs.MidWest! Im ready to feel like a real feminine woman lol*
Something that I put a ton of effort into this summer was looking for feminine styles, colors, and silhouettes in T-shirts. Though it was actually a lot of work (probably because I was combing the t-shirt section of a thrift store!), the result was awesome! I always had super comfy go-to shirts, but they looked really feminine when I put them on. I think that a key here is to do the hard work on the front end (i.e. shopping for however long it takes, to bring the items into your wardrobe), so that in the moment of truth (when you're getting dressed and don't feel like putting a ton of energy into your outfit), the pieces comes together effortlessly and femininely!
And, while I would say that adding nice, feminine t-shirts is half that battle, getting rid of t-shirts or other casual wear that aren't doing you any favors is the other half of the battle! That way, when you go to reach into your closet, you will be met with only good choices of clothing, not tempted by sloppy ones!
I’m having a hard time embracing my feminine figure when I’m so small and ‘skinny’. It’s hard to feel confident when there’s not much there, and it’s hard for me to gain weight so I do weight lifting to build muscle which builds curves but it takes time and I always wish I had a naturally curvy body
Try drop waist dresses (1920s) and baby doll dresses (1960s). Your body type was popular in those eras.
Go in the RUclips search and type in apetamin
You are beautiful Isabella! Beauty standards come and go, but femininity is timeless! There has been many times throughout history when a slender, sleek figure would have been the ideal, and it still is for so many people. Right now exaggerated curves are kind of everywhere in our faces, but they’re NOT inherently more feminine than your figure, it’s just another trend that will come and go. Find cuts, fabrics, colors, and accessories that play up your favorite features and you’ll feel instantly more confident. The more you start feeling comfortable and confident, the more your natural femininity will begin to pour out ❤️
We are all different and unique! You sound gorgeous.
I would lean into the petite, ingenue, fairy/spritely aesthetic if I was petite and slender. I would go for flowy tops, Capri pants, and fitted skirts and tights! Flowy dresses/tops and shift dresses can look really pretty on slender women, and lean into that angelic, fairy aesthetic 💓🥳🌸
@@victoriousv1412 curves is NOT a trend for some women though. Curves has always been around in certain cultures & genetics. U dont have to put others dwn to uplift another. Having curves has been a womanly thing throughout history but being slim is not the end. Ear rings dresses light colors make up long flowy hair does wonders for slim women.
Me and my friend are on a femininity journey and I'm constantly sending her your videos. Thanks for all the great info xo
I love how you incorporated women with scarf on their heads, showing how tolerante you are in terms of cultures and religions, I respect that and thanks for the amazing advices 🙏
I love youre pictures with all kinds of women. This is really a statement.
Yes yes and yes. You hit the exact emotion that i have been feeling lately. I have been trying to look for more feminine clothing but have no idea how to!!
I would love to see a feminine casual fall/winter wear edition in specific
I think we all wait your podcast 😍❤️ it would be amazing 🥰❤️
Francesca's Experience that would be ideal when I’m a mom with less time to edit videos 😍😍😍
I don’t understand why she doesn’t have more subscribers. She really is teaching people that you can be feminine and not have to wear a ballgown and always look elaborate. As a teenager sometimes its hard to dress as I want because of judgmental kids and adults. Her videos have honestly gave me a confidence boost and get me excited to dress up.
Oh my god you have spoken to my soul ! This is exactly what I have been telling ppl that dressing feminine and embracing that energy will bring out every woman s true nature aka setting yourself free . I dont live in the west Im in the middle east we emebrace femininity though there is a huge western influence now because of the media and women are starting to be more androgynous thinking thats the modern way to go . I motivated 1 of my friends that wanted to change her style she said she has never been more happier cuz it released her true self . I love your channel and will support you ❤️❤️
Yay another video! Every time I see you in your thumbnail I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful you are! I’m a taller blonde girl just like you and your videos have helped me so so so much for embracing my inner femininity. I used to feel ashamed of wearing dresses and skirts because people always said I was too dressed up. But now I wear whatever I want as long as I feel good regardless of if it seems fancy to others! Thank you so much Caitlyn! Hope I spelled that right😳😂 let’s support each other ladies. Build each other up not tear each other down. Go girls!❤️❤️❤️
I love feminine styles and soft colors. I always feel better dressing softly.
When I dress up someone will say "Wow, are you going to a party?" - What I feel I want to reply to this is "I'm a woman!" or tell them it feels wonderful to dress feminine because I am a woman. I like to wear a pretty, colorful hairscrunchie on my wrist, almost like a bracelet, it feels feminine and it's useful too. If puts me in feminine mood, somehow, when it comes to clothes. And I tied a beautiful classy looking scarf on the back of my purse, it always feel stylish and it's a feminine statement of mine...Even when you see me from the back.
I have learned so much from your videos. Suddenly I couldn't wear the yoga/workout pants as casual clothing, I suddenly see how it looks... I even care about dressing feminine/classy at home now, comfortable fabric that feels soft upon my skin and colors which I love and floral print, my absolute favorite. It's the best I know in my closet. Skirts and floral and I rock it with some feminine looking sneakers. I love heels but when casual I take the sneakers, to my skirts.
Great!!! Mrs. Midwest.
Keep it up! You don’t even imagine all the women you’re reaching and teaching without you even knowing.
You are a BIG glass of water in this big dessert of femininity now a days. God bless you and your marriage 🌷
A beautiful, 3/4 length, wrap cardigan worn over exercise clothes when you leave the gym = 👍. I LOVED this video so much, Caitlyn. I was actually going to request you do a video on this very topic for the working-out-of-the-home women. Different ways they can add femininity to their "professional" clothing (which is often masculine or unisex. ie: police uniform, medical lab whites, suits etc) without breaking company or safety/hygiene rules. Also, would LOVE a video on how to bring femininity into your off-work hrs for women who feel they can't overdo it in the workplace. Have a lovely day, ladies! Stay feminine.❤
“Find colours you can find in nature”🙌
OMG your video is just perfectly what I was looking for! Every time I’m going shopping it stresses me because I go around looking for something that looks feminine yet not too girly and I’m usually lost, I end up picking up things that either make me look stiff or manly. And that as a result of looking through the internet trying to see how could I dress up according to trends. Thing is, I am that kind of woman who doesn’t like to dress super pink or whatever things like that IDK how to even describe it. Anyhow, thanks to your video I know now what I can go for to get a perfect casual feminine dressing ❤️ ty ty ty!!
Here’s the formula:
Feminine/Masculine colours/patterns + casual fabric + feminine silhouette = feminine casual
Feminine colours/patterns + androgynous silhouette + feminine accessories + feminine hair&makeup = feminine casual
Avoid active wear for casual wear.
I agree! I love wearing dresses everyday, and people just expect it from me now lol. I either wear a dress, skirt, or dressy pants. Dresses are totally my personality!
i started wearing dresses by wearing them as loungewear lol they're so much more comfortable, it was mindblowing. now i've started wearing them out in public too. it's tricky to get over the 'dress=formal' mindset, but once you do you realize you can hit 'nice-casual', which is perfect! doesn't stand out TOO much, but still looks nicer than regular casual wear. and sooo much more comfortable. not just physically, but mentally, i feel more confident and put-together when i dress that way.
i think it's easier to dress nice-casual when you aren't constantly surrounded by, say, students at school (you stick out too much). it's different than work clothes too, i've noticed. work clothes lean towards formal and simple, while nice-casual can be a little flashier and more loose. it's nice.
RIGHT! I wear dresses at home now too and I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, it really is much more comfortable than a short pants and a tank top at home.
For feminine active wear:
In my PERSONAL OPINION: you don't necessarily need to feminize your workout clothing because you're there to break a sweat and trynna make it look pretty might be an obstacle, but if you really want to then):
-ditch wearing just sport bras and shorts (obviously you can still wear it, just don't wear it as an outfit in its own)
- wear full sleeved shirts with v neck if possible. Also make sure it's longer in the back so it covers your butt. (I have a lot of old navy casual shirts that are like this and cut beautifully so it covers your butt and some thighs and still looks hella cute). Try rash guards!!
- add a workout skirt if your shirt doesn't cover your butt ( just have 1-2 solid colors like black, white or tan that can go with all your workout tops)
- wear yoga pants!! They slim done your waist thighs but elongate your calf and legs!
- if you wear leggings, they can have some feminine print, or embroidery or a mesh net in them. If they don't,, that's fine as well
- for beach/ swimming: wear a modest swimsuit! ( Look for Muslim/Christian or similar brands) . Also: wear swimsuit coverups! They look super cute
Literally the video I needed
🙌🙌🙌
I work in a VERY business casual environment.
Like, they said it was business casual when I was hired, and most people wear jeans, sneakers, and sweatshirts.
We can literally wear whatever we want to on saturdays. However, I choose to only wear skirts. Every saturday people literally show up in their pajamas, and I'm the odd one out in a casual outfit. I basically dress the same tuesday-saturday, other than wednesday when I want to look a bit nicer when I go straight to mid-week church.
I love love loveeddd, that you put different women in your video. And the hijabi girls made me soo happy, i never see them featured in video’s. And im sad that not many people make modest fashion videos. So thank you!
Not on topic but your eyebrows really flatter you here 💕 they look a bit different
Sabrina H thank you! I’ve been doing so many different things with them in 2019, so I appreciate this feedback LOL. 🥰🥳
THANK YOU for featuring all sorts of sizes and shades of women when providing examples. This really helps me envision myself in those similar looks.
You’re the only trad-woman on here that I actually like. I want to remain celibate and start dressing more feminine and modest and your videos are very useful :) thank you!!
Same here.
I really loved your inclusive use of photos! It really helped get the message across that every woman can be feminine and that there is not one way you need to look to be a feminine and beautiful woman
I've always loved to dress in dresses. Sadly I remember the day I stopped in 6th grade. People would make fun of me or ask where I was going. I've never been outgoing so I just stopped so attention would not be on me anymore. Thankfully now a grown woman I have gone back to what I love. I'm so thankful for your videos. I am sure you are helping so many people find their true self's again♡
I wear dresses and skirts everyday, I have one pair of jeans, dresses are so comfortable! For everyday, casual look I choose cotton, jerseys and viscose. Most of my office dresses are navy, dark blue or dark green. In the summer I wear light fabrics and more playful patterns and colours. I work in totally masculine industry and work mainly with men, so wearing dress gives me some kind of signature look and feeling of feminity. Since I swiched to dresses as office clothes I never had trouble matching pieces together, it's just one piece and some minimal accesories (small silver earings, delicate silver braclet, scarf, small bag). It gives me less stressful mornings, less decisions to make ;) Casual dress became my uniform and I totally encourage you to try!
I am constantly told why do I wear dresses so much!! I always loved them but those around me in my life, my own family and my husband's family would make me feel so different like I was an alien or something just for wearing them!! I think it made me stop wearing so often!! I miss doing that though and I miss loving who I was while feeling Beautiful and Feminine!! It's sad our world acts so odd like it's old fashioned because I feel that much of the old styles should never have gone out of style!! They're so Elegant and Refined!! It really makes you feel the Best Version of who you are as a woman!! And definitely powerful too!! This was really Inspiring to me!!! Thank you for sharing it and I totally agree!!! That's what makes me proud to be a woman!!! It's True Power and Freedom when you embrace who you are!! Stay Amazing and Beautifully You Inside and Out!!! 😍❤️😻❤️🥰❤️😘
Thank you so much for this video! I have been trying to dress more feminine (even including dresses and skirts). So many family members ask ' Why are you so dressed up?' Even when it's a basic jersey/cotton maxi dress.
I love the idea of using femanine colours when going for masculine looks
I love you! You’re the first influencers I’ve seen feature a sari in this kind of video! From an Indian, thank you!
I love the message behind your blog. Yes! We can be feminine AND tough and cool at the same time
thanks for this, I’m a sophomore in highschool, and I want to dress femininely but can’t wear a dress to school, you know? all the love 💕
i need a video on how to look feminine when wearing winter clothes because so many of these coats make me look like a big marshmallow sleeping bag and i’m just trying to be warm lol. also how to look feminine in a field type job? since those are usually filled with cargo pants and tshirts
The way you approach this subject, your boldness, and diversity of representations, your videos have aided in my healing so so much. Thank you for all you do, and please keep going!
Love when you also put hijabi girl as an examples 💗💋
You were right on about other people making comments about feminine clothing. It's sad to see other women getting catty, jelous or rude because someone decides to reject the culture norms of dressing androgynously, but it happens all the time.
I love love love this video! It feels like getting an advice from an older sister! I only have male siblings growing up and as the youngest, I had to wear boys hand-me-downs. I always wanted to wear pastel and feminine clothing but was afraid of being look down by my brothers and friends. I just finish secondary school and will be going off to Uni soon. Videos like this really helps me in terms of finding the right style and building my confidence in embracing my femininity!
I’m so happy I found this video, I started working in a maintenance position and was struggling to not look frumpy. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you ,You are such a blessing, beautiful lady. Im an mature woman, but you have opened my eyes to so much needed inspiration. God Bless
i really appreciate how you always include women of different races/ethnicities in your discussions of femininity! it makes it feel so much more welcoming and helps take away that there is one cookie-cutter way to look feminine 🥰
Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU!! This is just what I needed. I’m in need of being more casual but I didn’t know how to stay cute without my blouses and skirts. Please make more videos about this 🥹❤
More quality content with diverse visual examples and verbal hints/explanations and no harsh judgements - Mrs Midwest, you are the feminine force we need!
I saw one Filipina in the picture am proud of her....
