The ideal of beauty is a feeling and I think that often in a world of fashionistas, lipsticks, and perfume we can often miss it. It’s not that we are looking to become the design of beautiful but that we are the design of beautiful and everything that we wear should be complimentary to it.
I think that a lot of companies and perhaps other benefactors out there have a lot to gain from women not being able to look at themselves in the mirror and instantly see themselves as beautiful.
When a woman feels beautiful just as she is, it becomes her radiance. And anything that she puts on is giving voice to her beauty and giving her beauty a style. For me, I love to be inspired by what women found beautiful throughout history and find different ways to infuse it into my current lifestyle…
The Victorian Era: Women wore corsets and actors only women who are Aphrodite’s (as I affectionately call these women) were allowed to wear makeup. Well the funny part to this is that even the most high nosed upscale “society woman” still tried to sneak her inner Aphrodite in and lightly wear some rouge as blush. I don’t personally wear a corset however I dream of one day having one like wore in .
One way that I do attempt to bring corsets into my everyday life is that in terms of my fitness shape I almost want it to be more corset like in a way and so I often infuse my workouts and shape my diet in a way that it adds more corset-like femininity to my shape.
1910: A round soft bodied gathered in at the waist was the highlight of what a women referred to as beauty. To this blog as Underneath Your Lingerie-like as possible, if you’re a long time reader of this blog you’ll know that just as I use the term Underneath Your Lingerie in a light and airy way it does have a deeper meaning too. Certain women have soft extra feminine energy bodies around them, even up to today and for me this being a reference as beauty shows that on some level are eyes and minds are aware of even the most deepest aspects of a woman’s body that most human’s today are completely unaware of.
The 1920’s dipped in the other direction and women who were flat chested, petite, and straight became the new “standard” that women were meant to reach. This is why it’s exhausting to chase beauty and easier to just step into it the fact that you are the beauty and beauty needs to chase you because only you can wear her. The truth is that I am a woman who until recently has always hated that she’s petite and now I just look at it like a stiletto size, just like curvy. Petite is just a stiletto. Slender is a stiletto. Curvacious stilettos are just as sparkly as petite ones. When it comes to sizes it’s just how we all “wear our glitter” so to speak, with all the other drama that comes with it left off!
1930’s “The Soft Siren.” I’m in love with the term “soft siren” and I still wish it was used today. Women are usually taught to be either Sirens or soft but the magic happens when a women blends them both into one and leads with her softness first. It’s not only more captivating to others but it’s also more healing for our nervous system too! For me the Soft Siren is an essence, I personally feel like we ruin things when we given them definitions the physically the definition for a soft siren was a woman with wide shoulders, a thin waist, and wide hips. Curvy and thin and very similar to the hourglass figure.
1940’s Bras today are rounded to hide a woman’s femininity however in the 1940’s torpedo shaped bras were in style and broad shoulders were set as the beauty ideal for women. For me, I personally feel that a classier way to put it is this..highlighting what makes a woman feminine (i.e. the shape of her breasts) and taking notice of the woman who is wearing the shoulders vs. the other way around is what matters most.
