Hey Girlie! I am an African American woman and I have to say that I really appreciate how sensitive you are to all women. You include women of color and not just speaking to a caucasian demographic and I wanted to shout that out and say a huge thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for including photos of other ethnicites. As someone with African heritage i've always been told that my hair was not feminine due to it being on the shorter side. As soon as you said hair I just assumed that that part wouldn't apply to me but as soon as I saw pictures of girls that looked more like me it really helped me to feel like I could be more feminine with my hair in its natural state. It means a lot to me. Keep up the good work!
I truly believe natural hair is gorgeous! Weaves, hairpieces, and relaxed hair can look great as well. We have the freedom to explore so many fun styles. So happy you’re here and thank you for sharing your heart! Xoxo
I think that coily/curly hair even when short looks very feminine, it has a lot of softness and roundedness which is generally associated with femininity. And it can't be easily imitated, which just makes it even more beautiful imo.
@@frenchmarron Your right its not heritage, but hair that is tightly coiled is prone to breakage which leads to shorter hair... I'm african american and my hair is very curly, to retain length with this hair type you have to keep it extra moisturized and wash it not more then once or twice a week. It is possible to have long coiled hair! It's just not super common because of all the TLC you have to put into retaining length.❤️
I'm more of a career girl than homemaker, but I still strive to be feminine! Thank you for bridging the Gap and showing that there doesn't have to be a divide between homemakers and working women!
Yes I’m glad she addressed the fact that people will say something with someone who is too feminine. I love dresses and skirts over pants because they’re so much easier to put together outfits and I feel so much more confident in dresses.
I LOVED dresses and skirts growing up and would constantly be asked, "Why are you so dressed up?" and I would say, "Why aren't you?". Society has not only made women shy away from their femininity, but also made those who do choose to show theirs more openly feel bad about it. Thank you for spreading such a positive message!
I even dress up to go the grocery shop, people tell me are you going to a party , which you do not need to go to a party to dress up and people shame you , when I dress up
@@fadi0965 omg I wore a maxi skirt to school and people were looking at me and was wondering why i was so fancy. -.- people at school wear super short dresses.
Finally females just like me 😭 I live in a small village where no one wears make up or dresses up. My mindset ‘dress like your gonna meet someone really important’. Honestly you never know who you’ll meet. First impression matters lololol.
@@tashaneuhaus It's not usually a deliberately racist thing when it comes to fem or men's fashion, it's just that Western-centric vids like this also tend to be very ethno-centric and one-sided, biased towards the West; some bloggers even say so, up front. Seems to me that if anything, it reflects the 'limitations' of the bloggers who do so instead.
Why are u assuming her to make some assumptions she didn't, why are you twisted up things, the women in the hijabi is also a "Caucasian" , apparently you don't understand those words, why are u using vocabulary you don't understand? So many why But WHY
As a teen, I feel like this video is really important to me. I loved how you included women of different races, religions, body type ect... this video really helped me have an idea of a feminine fashion that I wanted to get into. I also like how you mentioned how you didn’t include how you have to wear revealing clothing. I feel like your channel is really helping me blossom. 😊
I found this particularly helpful because I’ve recently been feeling like I want to present more femininely, but I am not much of a “girly” person. I’m glad to see that you recognize the nuance in this conversation! Thank you!
Agreed 💗 . For example, Marilyn Monroe , Audrey Hepburn & so many other celebs during the 30s-50s had pretty short hair like shoulder length or chin length and were still very feminine :) .
Yeah. I'm Korean and it's weird because in Korea I dress much more feminine than I do in the U.S. and I think it's because I feel like I'll get judged for being girly.
EM Elva that’s so true!!! I’m not from any Asian countries but certainly in the western cultures nowadays It’s hard to dress feminine and be taken seriously!!!
I’ve lost my femininity a few years back because I was too focused on other aspects of my life. Now that that’s out of the way, I’m ready to cultivate my inner femininity and be a better version of myself. Thank you for your videos! It helps me a lot on my journey! 🥰
I used to think I lost my femininity when I was younger because I pursued work that was saturated with male presence. I thought that in order to be seen and be dominant, I had to shed my feminine side. I really believed that was the end of any femininity from me. But what I've learned is that feminine energy is energy - it cannot be destroyed. It only lay dormant in me, ready to be cultivated when the time was right. I'm slowly learning how to reintegrate femininity into my life thanks to videos like this. Good luck to us! :)
I loved this video so much. At my job, 70 % of my colleagues are women, and most of them dress like men. Only one colleague wears feminine skirts. I feel like a freak because I love skirts and dresses and feminine clothes. Thank you so much for this video!!!
For anyone that's wanting inexpensive, feminine clothing, I mostly shop thrift stores, Romwe, Boo Hoo, and Shein. I rarely spend more than $13 on a dress and I'm constantly complimented on my professional, feminine style as a Realtor. If you like inexpensive jewelry, Wish surprisingly has dainty and feminine jewelry for as cheap as a dollar. Ross and Marshalls has cute sandals and heels.
I like to buy my jewelry from yard sales. I can find some lovely costume jewelry for a cheap price. I wear more vintage/retro/classic looks so it goes well with my style.
The fact that you included different ethnicities and cultures has made me love you and your channel even more! ✨ I didn’t think it would be possible but your even prettier now
I think if someone like that is bothering you, you should tell them that there is no right or wrong way to be a woman. Each person expresses themselves differently, so if you enjoy being true to yourself you should be glad when other women are true to themselves.
I like that you mentioned that short hair can be feminine as well! I love my short hair because it makes me feel more confident and chic, which in turn makes me feel feminine 💚
I really love wearing dresses and skirts, but I always get stares when walking around cause my style is more 1950s modest. Thank you so much for not only addressing this issue but allowing me to see so many others who share the same opinions! After watching a few of your videos I started accepting my femininity again and life is so much better! Good bless from San Diego 🙏😇💗
Hands down the best video i’ve seen on this topic! Super inclusive, a lot of options and also tackling the mental aspect to.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I love being feminine!! God bless you!
I definitely needed to hear this. I LOVE wearing heels but don't ever wear them out because of fear of being taller than most men around me. I subconsciously feel guilty for being taller than guys so I stick to smaller heels or flat shoes which is honestly ridiculous... but after watching this video I feel inspired to stop feeling guilty and enjoy my femininity! Thank you!!
I'm 5'10 and relate to you so, SO sooo much! I used to always feel that way too. But i learned to embrace what i am given. We are going to stick out anyways being tall lol why not wear what you love ; ) If a man is intimidated by your height then he is not someone you want to associate with anyways. You are beautiful❤ Please never dull your light or become small for anyone sister!!! Sending you so much love💕💓💕
Totally understand how you feel! I would suggest that you look at pictures of famous models or tall feminine icons in heels. Heels help us to accentuate our features, and they don't have to be sky-high stilletos to look good!
Height does not diminish or emphasize femininity. No one would mistake the Amazonian women for being men, but as far as I know they are all tall. Embrace your stature, be proud of it, and you will be a beautiful woman. Women that are shy about their height, hunched shoulders and such, are not very appealing. But a tall women with good posture and confidence in herself is striking. Like Mrs. Midwest said (about something else) it makes a person say "Wow! That's a woman!" Do what makes you happy, but please don't be ashamed of yourself.
This is actually really helpful. I find myself dressing androgynous a lot because I'm too scared to look "girly". Where I live feminine attire is synonymous with being juvenile in some cases or high maintenance in other cases, and we're made to feel embraced or prissy for it. If there's such thing as internalised misogyny that third wave feminists talk about it's THAT. It's making females ashamed to be feminine. I'm a career pursuing independent educated woman (and proud of it) but I still strive to be feminine because I actually love it, it's who I am and I'll embrace it, rather than subdue it in the hopes I'll be taken more seriously if I look and act 'masculine'.
I started doing this out of my own volition a few weeks ago, and my coworkers and friends have told me that I seem more lively and confident. Additionally, I feel more integrated into the feminine roles of tending and nurturing. I am loving (!!!) this change to my life, and I feel it has inadvertently blessed those I encounter in subtle yet impactful ways. Thank you for these videos! Peace and blessings from WI.
Did not realize how much I needed this video until I saw it. I did not buy a dress the other day because it was too feminine even though I really wanted it. Thank you!! loved the video !!!
Yes! I stopped wearing pants for almost 3 years now. It also came along with my changing perspective leaning towards more femininity. I've been slowly transitioning into being more feminine and embracing being a woman. I've been wearing dresses/skirts/and shorts only and I've never felt so comfortable my whole life. I'm slowly exploring makeup and accessories now too. I can say I'm a late bloomer but it's working! 💝 I just want to say thank you for sharing your message that's it's ok being a woman and to work through our fears regarding femininity. I think this whole agenda of pushing women and young girls to be more masculine is traumatizing and would take much self-awareness to develop strong healthy femininity.
The fact that you included a picture of a dark skin black woman with kinky coily hair as part of your flattering feminine hairstyles made me SMASH that subscribe button. God Blessss
😮, wow, I'm blown away and I cheated and looked at the comments before watching. This was the most thorough, inclusive, and self affirming video that I've seen on this topic. No shade to any one else's content. Great job!
Old Navy sells "the pixie pant" , I like them because is a straight pant but in very feminine prints , you could try those on and see how they work for you, maybe ? .
Thanks for encouraging women by reminding that feminine is an option. We've been programmed through years to reject that aspect of ourselves. Melania inspired me to start thinking in terms of feminine and to see posts like yours is great.
Loved the video 😊 I liked that you included all types of women showing that beauty comes in many shapes and forms 😊 TH-cam Tipp: you can add cards at the end of your videos with links to your other videos or a channel subscription link. You can find that option of adding TH-cam cards when you are in the edit mode on TH-cam on any given video 😊
Great video! It’s an inspiration to me. We are surrounded by androgyny- how boring!! Looking more feminine is a treat to yourself and those around you. Yes - it takes effort. You have to lose the sweatpants, think about accessories, take time for hair styles, but it’s so worth it!!
This video is exactly what I needed. For so long I always inhibited my feminity, because I felt I wasn't taken seriously. However, now I'm at a point where I don't care and watching this video helped aid that decision. Also really happy with the inclusion of diverse looking woman, amazing video xxx
Thank you for this. For years, since I became a mom I have never felt comfortable in dresses in skirts. Idk why, but the more feminine clothes felt vulnerable and exposed and not strong somehow. But before that, in high school and college, I did enjoy dresses and skirts. Last fall I had a sudden. inspiration and purchased several dresses that I loved.. but then wouldn’t let myself wear them! Like it would be embarrassing somehow to be seen in a dress. Would be nice to be comfortable dressing more feminine again. 💕xo
I'm a mother too, my son turns 1 next month and I find I've started just wearing clothes that hide my body because I'm not happy with it. My goal is to start embracing my femininity again
I love dressing femininely, and so I highly recommend the book "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson. This book helped me to know the colors that truely complement my skintone. It made a big difference in the colors I choose. Even though the pictures are very 80's, the information is still applicable today.
One of my favorite topics!!! I spend years working in asset management as one of the few women and I always refused to dress like a man. I would wear hot pink skirt suits with high heels and flowey earrings to meetings, legally blonde style :P In the beginning you get looks and comments, later on it becomes your thing and people appreciate you for being you and bringing some elegance and softness to the workplace!
I've been waiting for this video! I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and I love your content. I've really been embracing my feminity and having fun while doing so! You're the big sister I never had. Thank you! xoxo I love how inclusive this video is, by the way.
Thank you for the inclusion of different ethnicities and cultures and especially women who cover their hair since I am also covering my hair and I've been watching your videos and subscribing to your channel from the beginning of your channel! Thank you & keep going! I love your channel
Thank you for continuing to speak about the beauty of femininity! It’s definitely a breath of fresh air! I am extremely feminine and often women aren’t sure how to respond! They will either love it and want to be around me or ridicule me! Either way I continue to be me!
I’m so glad I just found you on TH-cam. I grew up in a very masculine environment and cultivated a dislike for anything “girly and weak” from a young age. The last 5 minutes of this video are so beautiful and wise!. It made me realize that I think I have been suppressing my femininity. Thank you for being so compassionate of people’s individuality. You are a true lady 😊
You are so relaxing to watch. Your positive energy emanates to your audiences. Love your work and listening to you here from saudi arabia while taking care of my toddler and my house chores. May you be blessed more with your loving family. 💐❤
I might sound silly but I creid after watching this video. It was so beautifully made. I don't think you know how much you've just impacted so many women lives from different backgrounds. Your nurturing side is glowing. This video was so needed. I would like to add to the thank you for inclusion. I had watched maybe 5 of your videos before this one was suggested and I was loving your content before but I adore you even more. 🤗 my virtual hug to you.
As someone who grew up with lots of negative pushback for dressing more feminine this is very wonderful to see! Very needed video these days! Can’t wait to see the future ones! :)
I definitely think accessories are a huge one. There are a lot of women who are less comfortable with the concept of showing off your figure through emphasizing waist etc (we aren’t all size 2 and comfortable). So for myself I do tend to dress in more drapes looks, like nice fitting jeans and a looser sweater or top. And I do like wearing black and grey a lot. But I love wearing fringe or hoop earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Having my makeup done nicely and hair. So I feel like you allude to that’s kind of how I add in/take away by focusing on the area’s other than waist cinching and colours.
This is the best video I've ever seen on this subject. I'm a frumpy girl, aside from pants and tank tops I wear men's clothes. Anyone whose mentioned to me about dressing more ladylike it's always been revealing, tight, or overly vibrant recommendations. I loved your advice about easing into it and ways to incorporate that energy with accessory methods, sort of merging the styles together to find a healthy middle ground. I actually stumbled on your content via a critic of yours, and I'm in a way very grateful they covered you. You are so inclusive of all walks of life and very specific about offering your insight to those of us who're seeking this sort of perspective out, I love that you are true to your religious roots without it being the focal point of the subjects you cover, and that you don't include politics into any of your views. Thank you.
It’s such a pleasure rediscovering your channel! I’m embarking on a journey of self-improvement and suddenly remembered that I used to watch you all the time for tips on how to dress and carry myself, but never really got around to applying said tips.
You might like the kibbe system of styling advice - it's based on underlying "yin/yang" balance of the body or; feminine/masculine, and you seem to have a natural eye for this. And I will add another thank you for having a wide variety of representation in your images - I don't fall into the mainstream promoted ideal of beauty, and although you do have many elements of that ideal, you still included many others. Thank you. It makes it feel possible to be a part of this.
This is one of the best advice! When I was in college I like to experiment with my style a lot (feminime, casual, edgy, bohemian) and there is people commenting about it even one of my closest friend, they liked to make fun of me saying that I'm weird etc. but I don't care about what they say because at the end of the day, you only have yourself and it's best to be yourself. And after experimenting with my style, I really like to dress up feminime, when I wear feminime clothes that's when I feel prettier. I like to thank you for making this video, you're like the sister I never had! Love from Indonesia
FEMININITY IS STRONG - my mom. Women have a lot to offer to the world. Let’s make the world easier for women to succeed without taking on the masculine archetypes, we should be true to ourselves because no matter how hard we like to try, we’re psychologically so different.
I’ve been called silly a lot to for wanting to dress up. I’ve had my friends ask me why I’m so dressed up every time I wear a skirt or something feminine lol I think the best thing to do is to ignore it and continue to wear whatever Btw you’re so pretty and kind! and I love the variety of pictures you put up

Your point of view, followed by your kindness, is so needed in today's world
You don’t know how much I needed this message! We can be smart strong women but still be feminine! I’m only 18 but love wearing dresses and more feminine things but it’s not something most girls my age wear, but I love how you included different ways to express femininity! I have always done it through my nails. Long pretty pink nails are my go to to make me feel pretty and feminine!
I absolutely LOVE the community you are creating😍❤❤❤ it's amazing seeing all the women from all over the world being given a space to be healthy and uplift one and other. While bringing more feminine ways back at the same time💕💕💕😄
The fact that you included hijabis into your video makes me so happy. Eventhough i’m a muslim but not a hijabi it made me so happy. So much love from Egypt ❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate how you support your views without shaming others. I grew up a tomboy and I was always pressured into wearing dresses and frilly things when I wasn't comfortable with doing so. It made me resent dressing and being feminine for many years. About 3 months ago, right before I turned 26, I started wearing dresses and heels for the first time and now I am hooked. I feel so much more confident when I wear heels and skirts/dresses. I work in a highly male-dominated STEM field and it makes me feel so powerful that I am doing what all the boys can do, while wearing heels. I dress feminine for myself, not anybody else!
I find your channel very refreshing, I stumbled across it recently and it has offered a fresh perspective. I also agree with a lot of things you say. I am in my 20s and at this stage more career focused however I love my job because I get to help people daily which makes me feel so fulfilled. I also am not someone who can stay at home all day, I enjoy the social interaction of being at work around my colleagues and having challenges/goals to smash. However, I also enjoy staying true to my feminine self and will take the time to read/bake/clean/spend time with family on weekends. When I do eventually have children I would like to go part time or work from home because then my main priority would be my family, so I think what matters most to someone depends on what stage they're at in life. I know of career orientated, successful women who worked crazy hours and then willingly became housewives as soon as they had children. But I am glad you are sharing this info and encouraging women to be true to what they really want out of life, we already have way too much emphasis on that girl boss culture.
The amount of positive energy you give to others just by watching you through a screen is a talent. You are truly amazing and a mood lifter. Thank you !
I've been binge watching your videos ever since I saw your modesty video (I've subscribed since then) and you keep on impressing me even more! I love how you showed a range of different femininity styles and that it's not so stereotypical. I also love that you showed a wider range of femininity across races/ethnicity, ages, religions, and cultures. As a Black woman it's very heartwarming to see feminine Black women and not being constantly adhered to the stereotypical masculine Black woman!
Wow. Thank you so much for diversifying this video!!!!! Oh my gosh I could cry I’m so happy!!! A beautiful natural curl, a lovely head scarf!! We are all so wonderfully and extraordinarily made 💕💕💕
I am a university student and my friends judged me when I started dressing up in feminine clothes I love you so much for making me feel comfortable with my style and choice of dressing up like a lady❤❤❤ Thanks a lot❤
Thankyou so much. You have encouraged me. I'm 62 and have spent most of my life in masculine clothes, no makeup. For some reason I felt embarrassed to embellish myself femininely. I guess I still feel a bit that way, but I am going to ease into a more feminine look. Your words are very true and encouraging.
Hey Girlie! I am an African American woman and I have to say that I really appreciate how sensitive you are to all women. You include women of color and not just speaking to a caucasian demographic and I wanted to shout that out and say a huge thank you!!!!
Brandie Hanna she’s awesome
I'm a black Caribbean woman and thought exactly the same!
She also includes pictures of different body styles too which is amazing
Do you also go to f.e. black female youtubers and encourage them to also speak to other than black women? Just a food for thought.
Moravian Wallachia me or her? Who are you asking?

I almost thought I was the only one who noticed that some people tease others for being feminine. Glad you pointed it out.

Yes I’m glad she addressed the fact that people will say something with someone who is too feminine. I love dresses and skirts over pants because they’re so much easier to put together outfits and I feel so much more confident in dresses.
People tease each other for beibg elegant, too🙁
Yeah, don't listen to them and keep your feminine energy strong
Yes! This happened to me in a ladies washroom. I was just so surprised! I said I wear this because I like it.
1. Hair & makeup
2. The silhouette of your outfit.
3. The colors
4. The patterns
5. Accessories
Thank you!

I screamed wooow when you showed how a women can be feminine no matter what ethnicety or religion she belongs to ❤👍
Thank you for including a woman with natural, kinky-curly hair 💗
Theonlydays just made me love her even more😭❤️
Yes!! That make me feel so great about my curls!!
I appreciated that as well
Theonlydays was about to say that💗
Kinky, not curly
Loved the video! I love how you used pictures of all different ages, races, and body types!

Fatma4 why ? Why do people always think Caucasian’s are racist
It’s actually very annoying

Sarah jav yesssss 😍😍😍
Agreed 💗 . For example, Marilyn Monroe , Audrey Hepburn & so many other celebs during the 30s-50s had pretty short hair like shoulder length or chin length and were still very feminine :) .
Shorter hair in music too: Annie Lennox, Leigh Nash, Janelle Monae (sp?), Petula Clark, Siouxsie Sioux, Jane Wiedlin. Gaga too, I think.
I love how Asian women in the Eastern dramas dress. Classy, clean, and feminine.
Yeah. I'm Korean and it's weird because in Korea I dress much more feminine than I do in the U.S. and I think it's because I feel like I'll get judged for being girly.
EM Elva that’s so true!!! I’m not from any Asian countries but certainly in the western cultures nowadays It’s hard to dress feminine and be taken seriously!!!

I go to an Asian nail salon and the owner wears stilettos and dresses classy lady

@@leeslyrose They're Forever 21/H&M quality I've noticed so far. Same with jewelry from Wish. I wouldn't purchase clothes from Wish, though.

So sweet!! Thanks for watching so soon :)
@Braty Baby You're really pretty
How do you deal w/ hate from masculine women? Sometimes being feminine can feel lonely:/
BumbleBeyyy I want to know to! Feels super lonely being feminine!
So true...
I think if someone like that is bothering you, you should tell them that there is no right or wrong way to be a woman. Each person expresses themselves differently, so if you enjoy being true to yourself you should be glad when other women are true to themselves.
They are honestly just jealous and trying to tear down women better and more attractive than them! And they know men like feminine women more
Nuh'in Much Well said 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜💜
I loved that you included photos of different ethnicities/cultures!! thank you for the inclusion, you have no idea what it means :)💗💗
I was thinking exactly this! Usually we have to remind people we exist but she included us so effortlessly!
so true
She also included women of different sizes which is amazing!
And ages! That’s so rare to see xx
True!!
I like that you mentioned that short hair can be feminine as well! I love my short hair because it makes me feel more confident and chic, which in turn makes me feel feminine 💚
Can you do some outfit videos? I like your approach to highlighting features while dressing more modestly!
Yes me too. Please do more ootd or ootw videos I really love your feminine style and I want to learn from you. Your so cool and I really like you !
Thank you! We shouldn’t have to gender neutralize ourselves to be taken seriously.
Woahhh, she added a lot of women from different cultures and skin color🥰🥰 I love this video makes me feel like all woman are united!
Yeah
I mean mrs Midwest was nice to do that
I really love wearing dresses and skirts, but I always get stares when walking around cause my style is more 1950s modest. Thank you so much for not only addressing this issue but allowing me to see so many others who share the same opinions! After watching a few of your videos I started accepting my femininity again and life is so much better! Good bless from San Diego 🙏😇💗
Hands down the best video i’ve seen on this topic! Super inclusive, a lot of options and also tackling the mental aspect to.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I love being feminine!! God bless you!
Commenter: "Why are you so dressed up?"
Answer: "I'm trying a new style."
Enough said.
I would say "why are you so scruffy?"
With the pandemic going on, I'd say "life is short, I'll start dressing how I always wanted to" 💙
I definitely needed to hear this. I LOVE wearing heels but don't ever wear them out because of fear of being taller than most men around me. I subconsciously feel guilty for being taller than guys so I stick to smaller heels or flat shoes which is honestly ridiculous... but after watching this video I feel inspired to stop feeling guilty and enjoy my femininity! Thank you!!
I'm 5'10 and relate to you so, SO sooo much! I used to always feel that way too. But i learned to embrace what i am given. We are going to stick out anyways being tall lol why not wear what you love ; )
If a man is intimidated by your height then he is not someone you want to associate with anyways. You are beautiful❤ Please never dull your light or become small for anyone sister!!!
Sending you so much love💕💓💕
Me too. I'm only 5'7 but I've been learning not to be ashamed of wearing heels.
Totally understand how you feel! I would suggest that you look at pictures of famous models or tall feminine icons in heels. Heels help us to accentuate our features, and they don't have to be sky-high stilletos to look good!
I'm 6' and wear heels and even platforms, sometimes people will comment that I don't need them. I need them because I'm a woman!!!
Height does not diminish or emphasize femininity. No one would mistake the Amazonian women for being men, but as far as I know they are all tall. Embrace your stature, be proud of it, and you will be a beautiful woman. Women that are shy about their height, hunched shoulders and such, are not very appealing. But a tall women with good posture and confidence in herself is striking. Like Mrs. Midwest said (about something else) it makes a person say "Wow! That's a woman!"
Do what makes you happy, but please don't be ashamed of yourself.
This is actually really helpful. I find myself dressing androgynous a lot because I'm too scared to look "girly". Where I live feminine attire is synonymous with being juvenile in some cases or high maintenance in other cases, and we're made to feel embraced or prissy for it. If there's such thing as internalised misogyny that third wave feminists talk about it's THAT. It's making females ashamed to be feminine. I'm a career pursuing independent educated woman (and proud of it) but I still strive to be feminine because I actually love it, it's who I am and I'll embrace it, rather than subdue it in the hopes I'll be taken more seriously if I look and act 'masculine'.
I started doing this out of my own volition a few weeks ago, and my coworkers and friends have told me that I seem more lively and confident. Additionally, I feel more integrated into the feminine roles of tending and nurturing. I am loving (!!!) this change to my life, and I feel it has inadvertently blessed those I encounter in subtle yet impactful ways. Thank you for these videos! Peace and blessings from WI.
Did not realize how much I needed this video until I saw it. I did not buy a dress the other day because it was too feminine even though I really wanted it. Thank you!! loved the video !!!
Her audio is so good. Don’t know how to describe but it sounds like she’s sitting right in front of me and talking directly to me
Yes! I stopped wearing pants for almost 3 years now. It also came along with my changing perspective leaning towards more femininity. I've been slowly transitioning into being more feminine and embracing being a woman. I've been wearing dresses/skirts/and shorts only and I've never felt so comfortable my whole life. I'm slowly exploring makeup and accessories now too. I can say I'm a late bloomer but it's working! 💝 I just want to say thank you for sharing your message that's it's ok being a woman and to work through our fears regarding femininity. I think this whole agenda of pushing women and young girls to be more masculine is traumatizing and would take much self-awareness to develop strong healthy femininity.
The fact that you included a picture of a dark skin black woman with kinky coily hair as part of your flattering feminine hairstyles made me SMASH that subscribe button. God Blessss
😮, wow, I'm blown away and I cheated and looked at the comments before watching. This was the most thorough, inclusive, and self affirming video that I've seen on this topic. No shade to any one else's content. Great job!
4:51 - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING THE HEADSCARF PART!!! That means a lot, respect for you ❤️
I love that you included pictures of diverse women, both in ethnicity and in shape! thank you for your tips! 💜
A pastel suit you say? Now THAT *I* can get down with! I like to be a tomboy but have a girly flair to go with it.
Old Navy sells "the pixie pant" , I like them because is a straight pant but in very feminine prints , you could try those on and see how they work for you, maybe ? .
@@abzurdahmxs Interesting, I did not know that. I should look into that.
Thanks for encouraging women by reminding that feminine is an option. We've been programmed through years to reject that aspect of ourselves. Melania inspired me to start thinking in terms of feminine and to see posts like yours is great.
My hair is "as short as a boy." Because I love femininity, I usually like to wear floral headbands or clips for a feminine touch.
Loved the video 😊 I liked that you included all types of women showing that beauty comes in many shapes and forms 😊
TH-cam Tipp: you can add cards at the end of your videos with links to your other videos or a channel subscription link. You can find that option of adding TH-cam cards when you are in the edit mode on TH-cam on any given video 😊
Love feminine women! Y'all are a gift to the world. Keep it up. Real Men Appreciate You and so do non-defensive women.
You feel like the older sister I never had, thank you for this!!
You can be the little sister I never had 😘💕
You are truly the sweetest!!
Liz I think I’m going to cry. This is so sweet.
Great video! It’s an inspiration to me. We are surrounded by androgyny- how boring!! Looking more feminine is a treat to yourself and those around you. Yes - it takes effort. You have to lose the sweatpants, think about accessories, take time for hair styles, but it’s so worth it!!
This video is exactly what I needed. For so long I always inhibited my feminity, because I felt I wasn't taken seriously. However, now I'm at a point where I don't care and watching this video helped aid that decision. Also really happy with the inclusion of diverse looking woman, amazing video xxx
Thank you for this. For years, since I became a mom I have never felt comfortable in dresses in skirts. Idk why, but the more feminine clothes felt vulnerable and exposed and not strong somehow. But before that, in high school and college, I did enjoy dresses and skirts. Last fall I had a sudden. inspiration and purchased several dresses that I loved.. but then wouldn’t let myself wear them! Like it would be embarrassing somehow to be seen in a dress. Would be nice to be comfortable dressing more feminine again. 💕xo
Mother Muse Go for it girl! 🥳
I'm a mother too, my son turns 1 next month and I find I've started just wearing clothes that hide my body because I'm not happy with it. My goal is to start embracing my femininity again
Wear the dresses and skirts!!!
Seriously, just do it!!
ohhh same girl same. I feel so vulnerable in dresses and skirts but i love them !!! so i’m torn because i want to be more feminine.
@@comandlikes do it! The more you wear it the more you will attract other feminine friends
I love dressing femininely, and so I highly recommend the book "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson. This book helped me to know the colors that truely complement my skintone. It made a big difference in the colors I choose. Even though the pictures are very 80's, the information is still applicable today.
One of my favorite topics!!! I spend years working in asset management as one of the few women and I always refused to dress like a man. I would wear hot pink skirt suits with high heels and flowey earrings to meetings, legally blonde style :P In the beginning you get looks and comments, later on it becomes your thing and people appreciate you for being you and bringing some elegance and softness to the workplace!
I've been waiting for this video! I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and I love your content. I've really been embracing my feminity and having fun while doing so! You're the big sister I never had. Thank you! xoxo I love how inclusive this video is, by the way.
Thank you for the inclusion of different ethnicities and cultures and especially women who cover their hair since I am also covering my hair and I've been watching your videos and subscribing to your channel from the beginning of your channel! Thank you & keep going! I love your channel
I love wearing pastel pink a lot! It makes my reddish hair pop out more.
*I love how you involved the Hijab* 🧕
You are such a breathe of fresh air, love the inclusiveness. Love the video !
Thank you for continuing to speak about the beauty of femininity! It’s definitely a breath of fresh air! I am extremely feminine and often women aren’t sure how to respond! They will either love it and want to be around me or ridicule me! Either way I continue to be me!
There has definitely been a flip flop of masculinity and femininity. I love being feminine and I'm learning not to be ashamed of that 💕
So inclusive!! Your videos give me so much joy
I’m so glad I just found you on TH-cam. I grew up in a very masculine environment and cultivated a dislike for anything “girly and weak” from a young age. The last 5 minutes of this video are so beautiful and wise!. It made me realize that I think I have been suppressing my femininity. Thank you for being so compassionate of people’s individuality. You are a true lady 😊
You are so relaxing to watch. Your positive energy emanates to your audiences. Love your work and listening to you here from saudi arabia while taking care of my toddler and my house chores. May you be blessed more with your loving family. 💐❤
I love how your dog always gets herself into the video, she does it on purpose. 💕🐶
"you don't have to be the imitation of a man to be successful." PREACHHHHH!!!
I might sound silly but I creid after watching this video. It was so beautifully made. I don't think you know how much you've just impacted so many women lives from different backgrounds. Your nurturing side is glowing. This video was so needed. I would like to add to the thank you for inclusion. I had watched maybe 5 of your videos before this one was suggested and I was loving your content before but I adore you even more. 🤗 my virtual hug to you.
As someone who grew up with lots of negative pushback for dressing more feminine this is very wonderful to see! Very needed video these days! Can’t wait to see the future ones! :)
I definitely think accessories are a huge one. There are a lot of women who are less comfortable with the concept of showing off your figure through emphasizing waist etc (we aren’t all size 2 and comfortable). So for myself I do tend to dress in more drapes looks, like nice fitting jeans and a looser sweater or top. And I do like wearing black and grey a lot. But I love wearing fringe or hoop earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Having my makeup done nicely and hair. So I feel like you allude to that’s kind of how I add in/take away by focusing on the area’s other than waist cinching and colours.
I need help in the accessories department. Love this point 💕
Gurl im a size 2 and still not comfortable showing my figure yet 💀
This is the best video I've ever seen on this subject. I'm a frumpy girl, aside from pants and tank tops I wear men's clothes. Anyone whose mentioned to me about dressing more ladylike it's always been revealing, tight, or overly vibrant recommendations. I loved your advice about easing into it and ways to incorporate that energy with accessory methods, sort of merging the styles together to find a healthy middle ground. I actually stumbled on your content via a critic of yours, and I'm in a way very grateful they covered you. You are so inclusive of all walks of life and very specific about offering your insight to those of us who're seeking this sort of perspective out, I love that you are true to your religious roots without it being the focal point of the subjects you cover, and that you don't include politics into any of your views. Thank you.
You're such an inspiration. I've decided to let myself be as feminine as I can. Thank you with all my heart
It’s such a pleasure rediscovering your channel! I’m embarking on a journey of self-improvement and suddenly remembered that I used to watch you all the time for tips on how to dress and carry myself, but never really got around to applying said tips.
You might like the kibbe system of styling advice - it's based on underlying "yin/yang" balance of the body or; feminine/masculine, and you seem to have a natural eye for this.
And I will add another thank you for having a wide variety of representation in your images - I don't fall into the mainstream promoted ideal of beauty, and although you do have many elements of that ideal, you still included many others. Thank you. It makes it feel possible to be a part of this.
This is one of the best advice! When I was in college I like to experiment with my style a lot (feminime, casual, edgy, bohemian) and there is people commenting about it even one of my closest friend, they liked to make fun of me saying that I'm weird etc. but I don't care about what they say because at the end of the day, you only have yourself and it's best to be yourself. And after experimenting with my style, I really like to dress up feminime, when I wear feminime clothes that's when I feel prettier. I like to thank you for making this video, you're like the sister I never had! Love from Indonesia
I loved you including pictures it helped give a visual! Please please do a DITL of a homemaker or a feminine everyday drugstore makeup routine!
FEMININITY IS STRONG - my mom. Women have a lot to offer to the world. Let’s make the world easier for women to succeed without taking on the masculine archetypes, we should be true to ourselves because no matter how hard we like to try, we’re psychologically so different.
I’ve been called silly a lot to for wanting to dress up. I’ve had my friends ask me why I’m so dressed up every time I wear a skirt or something feminine lol I think the best thing to do is to ignore it and continue to wear whatever
Btw you’re so pretty and kind! and I love the variety of pictures you put up
Your point of view, followed by your kindness, is so needed in today's world
I love your videos so much! Love that you included kinky/curly hair in the pictures 💕🥰
You don’t know how much I needed this message! We can be smart strong women but still be feminine! I’m only 18 but love wearing dresses and more feminine things but it’s not something most girls my age wear, but I love how you included different ways to express femininity! I have always done it through my nails. Long pretty pink nails are my go to to make me feel pretty and feminine!
Listening to you really helps. I am constantly being told by family not to waste my time wearing makeup and doing my hair.
This woman speaks truth. Every girl listen up
Thanks for including a wide range of skin tones of feminine women. I appreciate it!
I'm in love with what you're wearing. Simple, feminine, vintage vibe, while still being very modern
I absolutely LOVE the community you are creating😍❤❤❤ it's amazing seeing all the women from all over the world being given a space to be healthy and uplift one and other. While bringing more feminine ways back at the same time💕💕💕😄
I love how diverse your reference photos always are.
The fact that you included hijabis into your video makes me so happy. Eventhough i’m a muslim but not a hijabi it made me so happy. So much love from Egypt ❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate how you support your views without shaming others. I grew up a tomboy and I was always pressured into wearing dresses and frilly things when I wasn't comfortable with doing so. It made me resent dressing and being feminine for many years. About 3 months ago, right before I turned 26, I started wearing dresses and heels for the first time and now I am hooked. I feel so much more confident when I wear heels and skirts/dresses. I work in a highly male-dominated STEM field and it makes me feel so powerful that I am doing what all the boys can do, while wearing heels. I dress feminine for myself, not anybody else!
I find your channel very refreshing, I stumbled across it recently and it has offered a fresh perspective. I also agree with a lot of things you say. I am in my 20s and at this stage more career focused however I love my job because I get to help people daily which makes me feel so fulfilled. I also am not someone who can stay at home all day, I enjoy the social interaction of being at work around my colleagues and having challenges/goals to smash. However, I also enjoy staying true to my feminine self and will take the time to read/bake/clean/spend time with family on weekends. When I do eventually have children I would like to go part time or work from home because then my main priority would be my family, so I think what matters most to someone depends on what stage they're at in life. I know of career orientated, successful women who worked crazy hours and then willingly became housewives as soon as they had children. But I am glad you are sharing this info and encouraging women to be true to what they really want out of life, we already have way too much emphasis on that girl boss culture.
I love how inclusive and diverse your examples always are!
I like to mix the masculine and feminine looks together. I love to wear dresses with sneakers or boots. I think it looks really cute.
me too I love leather jackets with skirts
The amount of positive energy you give to others just by watching you through a screen is a talent. You are truly amazing and a mood lifter. Thank you !
Oh my you read my mind! I was wondering how to change up my wardrobe into something more feminine. Thanks :)
I've been binge watching your videos ever since I saw your modesty video (I've subscribed since then) and you keep on impressing me even more! I love how you showed a range of different femininity styles and that it's not so stereotypical. I also love that you showed a wider range of femininity across races/ethnicity, ages, religions, and cultures. As a Black woman it's very heartwarming to see feminine Black women and not being constantly adhered to the stereotypical masculine Black woman!
Wow. Thank you so much for diversifying this video!!!!! Oh my gosh I could cry I’m so happy!!! A beautiful natural curl, a lovely head scarf!! We are all so wonderfully and extraordinarily made 💕💕💕
I love your videos, the way you articulate your ideas and the actual messages you're sending across. Thank you for being you!!
I am a university student and my friends judged me when I started dressing up in feminine clothes
I love you so much for making me feel comfortable with my style and choice of dressing up like a lady❤❤❤
Thanks a lot❤
Thankyou so much. You have encouraged me. I'm 62 and have spent most of my life in masculine clothes, no makeup. For some reason I felt embarrassed to embellish myself femininely. I guess I still feel a bit that way, but I am going to ease into a more feminine look. Your words are very true and encouraging.
Awwwww 🙌🏽🙌🏽💕❤️ thank you for adding women in Hijab into your video. Your advice is very helpful
I've never subscribed to a channel after just seeing one video... You've touched so many points and simplified it. I appreciate you.
