How to Dress for the Woman You Are Now | Dhanusha Poobalasingam, Style Me Up DJP

**TRIGGER WARNING*** depression & suicide are discussed in this interview Can personal style actually change the way you feel about yourself? In this episode of Women Behind The Business, I sit down with Dhanusha Poobalasingam, founder of Style Me Up DJP, a Melbourne personal fashion stylist helping women feel more confident and empowered in the bodies they have today. Dhanusha works with busy mums and corporate women who often have wardrobes full of clothes but still find themselves saying: “I have nothing to wear.” But this conversation goes far beyond clothes. Dhanusha shares her personal journey with confidence, bullying, anxiety, health challenges and learning to stop allowing other people’s opinions to determine how she saw herself. We talk about: • Why so many women have wardrobes full of clothes but nothing feels right • Understanding your body shape and dressing to work with it • How your skin tone, hair and eyes can influence the colours that suit you • Why you do not need designer clothes to look and feel incredible • How colour can change the way you feel • Dressing for the woman you are now • Letting go of unrealistic beauty standards and comparison • Why confidence has nothing to do with being a particular size • Dhanusha’s early introduction to fashion through her mum’s fashion shows • Rebuilding confidence after years of struggling with how she saw herself • People pleasing and why other people’s opinions can keep us stuck • Stepping outside your comfort zone • Wardrobe audits, personal styling and event styling • Dhanusha’s plans for styling workshops and corporate workshops • Practical style resources for busy mums and professional women One of the strongest messages from this conversation is that personal style should never become another reason to criticise yourself. It should help you work with the woman you already are. Whether you are a size 4 or a size 30, whether your body has changed, your lifestyle has changed or you simply no longer recognise yourself in your wardrobe, Dhanusha believes every woman deserves to feel beautiful, confident and comfortable in her own skin.
