While each of us has to discover and define her personal sense of feminine style, I think there are some more general ways to channel that feminine vibe while staying true to your own aesthetic self. Pair a feminine piece with a more traditionally masculine one. Try a silk cami under a black blazer instead of a cardigan. Pair a high-waisted midi skirt with a menswear button-down tied at the waist instead of a feminine blouse. Or, throw on a great pair of heels with some high-rise, loose-fitting denim instead of a dress.
The proportion of pieces is often more important than the pieces themselves in creating a feminine mystique. I love a good sundress, but sometimes they make me feel like a child. Rompers, ironically, make me feel more grown up, fashion-forward, and more like myself.

The eyelet itself can be either floral or geometric, but it always evokes a sense of feminine intricacy and delicacy while avoiding the floral fantasy. And since eyelet items are usually one color, I find they are easier to wear often in a variety of contexts—just mix up the shoes and jewelry and you have a whole new look, more easily than you would with a true floral print.
While traditional feminine styles highlight all the lovely aspects of womanhood, I prefer to choose an outfit that centers around only one. If I choose a short dress, I want it to be loosely structured; a sweetheart neckline is complemented by a long skirt; if you show off a sliver of midriff, go with a crew neck t-shirt.
The subtlety of these combinations creates an unmistakable aura of mystery that is distinctively feminine in its power of suggestion. One way to feel more feminine is to become more in tune to your surroundings and to bring a conscious awareness to every moment.
Get out of your own head and let go of your constant worries. Become aware of your surroundings: Hear the birds chirping outside. Notice the color of the leaves on the trees. Smell the coffee tempting you from the kitchen.
Touch the soft sweater wrapping your body in a cloud of warmth. What do you feel, touch, smell, hear, taste or see? Take a leisurely bath, get a massage, or exercise that tension right out of your body.

Dramatics aside, part of being feminine is choosing and expressing your thoughts in a poised way. It may come as a surprise to some of you, but I am not the most eloquent person on earth cue eye roll. Although curse words are not part of my vocabulary, brazen sarcasm certainly is. And while there is nothing wrong with a witty remark, per se, the lesson here is that there is a time and place for everything.

As a result of exhaustion, there is no energy to pursue the things that made me feel feminine in the past. This posting helped remind me of how special it feels to make the time to care for yourself.
