Camo and Finding Confidence ft. Missguided

Today I have something quite different for you all while I talk about a subject which everyone has struggled with or struggling with and that is confidence. Being a beauty/fashion blogger people think that confidence comes naturally or I must be super confident in myself but I have learned to love myself. It's easy to tell someone to know their worth and be happy with who they are but it's a work in progress.Here are some tips for owning confidence which has helped me:
1. Your circle
 During this festive period, family and friends are always people who can uplift and have a tight circle of friends is vital for your own confidence. Growing up, in high school, I was always insecure about what others might think of me being from a different background, however, after going to university I had a great group of friends who were always positive whenever I felt down about myself, so make sure you surround yourself with people with positive minds!
2. Uplift yourself
It sounds cheesy to say to remind yourself to give some self-love but honestly reading positive quotes or even coming across a positive quote on social media always uplifts my confidence. I post positive quotes on my Twitter and I'm thinking of posting positive messages/quotes on my Instagram story, what do you think? Not only would this help me lead a positive lifestyle but also to those reading it. Self-love is so important and reading positive quotes is one small way of having a positive outlook on yourself.
3. Remind yourself
It's easy to get lost in the world of social media and start comparing yourself to others but there's only one of you and if you waste your time thinking you were somebody else then there's a waste of who you are as an individual. It's become the norm to pick out what's wrong with you and dwell on that instead of appreciating the small things in life such having good health. I love how Missguided's new campaign features women with no photo-shopping involved where stretch-marks which were once made to make you feel ashamed is now being embraced and celebrated. I hope that other companies follow in Missguided's footsteps in celebration of what women proudly own.
4. Treat yo self
Sounds cliche but treating yourself gives you an extra boost of confidence right? Doesn't even have to be materialistic, a nice warm bubble bath after a long hard day at work ensures you're at your best and when you feel your best, confidence comes more naturally, trust me



 This is one of my favourite outfits I’ve worn recently and definitely, requires some confidence to wear this... (well for me anyway!) These grey camo pants are so comfy and they were slightly baggy (if you’re thinking of getting one I would recommend going down a size if you want it more cinched in at the waist!) These edgy trousers are priced at £45.00 however the quality of these trousers are amazing.  When I first bought them I was unsure what top to pair it with being such a bold statement piece. This top is also from Missguided and is from the Carli Bybel X Missguided collection. When I saw it on the website, it immediately caught my attention and I clicked it straight into my basket. This look is perfect for a night-out especially now that its freezing and you want to cover your legs and arms but still look incredible. 


Off course, I had to finish off the look with these gorgeous pairs of Nude Rounded Three Strap Barely There Heels from Missguided. I know what you're thinking, it's too cold to wear these heels but they are so comfortable to wear (for a high heel) and the straps definitely add a feminine touch to the look.


I went for a choker for accessories since the bardot top was plain I decided to add some sparkle (who doesn't love a bit of sparkle?) and it was also appropriate for this time of year. For only £8.00 this item was a steal on the Missguided website and I love how it doesn't come up too high on the neck. 


I hope you guys enjoyed reading this in-depth post and thank you for staying until the end which means a lot! I hope you use the tips I've given if you struggle with self-confidence and also you can email me any problems you may be going through! x
