Finding Confidence Through Fashion: My Personal Journey

Finding Confidence Through Fashion: My Personal Journey

Posted by Robin Towle on

Hey there, I’m Robin Towle, and for me, fashion’s always been more than just clothes—it’s a way to find my footing and feel bold, no matter the day. Whether I’m coaching pageant hopefuls or stepping out as a Navy vet and mom, I’ve discovered how what I wear can unlock a quiet strength I didn’t always know I had. Here’s how playing with style has surprised me with confidence over the years.
A Bold Hue Lifts My Spirit
I used to shy away from bright colors—then I tried a red dress that changed everything. Slipping it on for a casual day or a big event makes me stand taller; I’ve noticed how a splash of color can flip my mood from drab to daring. It’s like a secret boost—where a vibrant shade whispers courage I didn’t expect.
Fit Turns Doubt to Swagger
Baggy outfits hid me—tailored pieces brought me out. A blazer that hugs my shoulders or jeans that hit just right shift my stride; I’ve felt that switch from unsure to unstoppable more times than I can count. It’s a quiet power—where the right cut makes me feel like I own the room.
Layers Add a Playful Edge
I love mixing it up—a scarf over a tee or a jacket with a dress keeps me guessing what works. Experimenting taught me it’s okay to stumble; every try builds a little more guts. It’s my sandbox—where piling on pieces turns a plain day into a canvas of cool.
Accessories Spark a Story
A chunky necklace or a pair of vintage earrings isn’t just flair—it’s a piece of me. I’ve worn a brooch from my Navy days or a bracelet my kids picked out, and each one carries a memory that steadies me. It’s a small anchor—where a trinket turns an outfit into a tale I’m proud to tell.
Style Becomes My Shield
Rough days hit—I’ve learned a sharp outfit can armor up my spirit. Pulling on a favorite coat or boots before a meeting makes me feel ready, even when I’m not; it’s been my trick since pageant stages and Legion halls. It’s my quiet ally—where fashion hands me confidence I can carry anywhere.
