The Woman Who Sits Like This Has Been Through Things…

May 21, 2025 by Moumous |

…and still shows up beautifully.

SHOP THE LOOK

This isn’t just a look.
This is a chapter.

Camouflage pants, pointed-toe heels, a structured knit with sculpted sleeves, sunglasses on indoors, this isn’t about fashion. This is about presence. About a woman who doesn’t just walk into a room, she owns her seat in it.

But let’s be honest:
The woman who sits like this?
She’s been through things.

She knows what it means to rebuild, not just her closet, but herself. She’s had to make bold decisions. She’s been underestimated. She’s swallowed words to keep the peace and later had to find her voice again.
And now, she sits here. Head up. Chin rested on a hand that no longer shakes. Legs crossed with intention. Confidence not loud, but undeniable.

Every piece tells a story:
  • The camo pants: She’s been in survival mode before. She’s had to blend in, stay ready, fight softly. Now she wears them not to hide, but to say: I’m still standing.
  • The sculptural cardigan: Strong lines on soft fabric. That delicate balance she’s mastered between boundaries and grace.
  • The pearl-embellished heels: She still sparkles, just differently now. Not to be seen, but to honor herself.
  • The sunglasses: Mystery, maybe. Or maybe it’s protection. Or power. Because some stories don’t need to be told , just felt.

This isn’t just styling.
This is soul work.

She didn’t wake up like this.

She chose this.
Every detail. Every texture. Every pose.

And maybe that’s the invitation here for you too, to sit differently. To show up in your own style not to impress, but to express.
To reclaim pieces of yourself you once gave away.
To wear strength with softness.
To sparkle again, when you’re ready.

Because the woman who sits like this has been through things…
And she’s just getting started.

    Great post! This part particularly speaks to me…

    “She didn’t wake up like this.
    She chose this.
    Every detail. Every texture. Every pose.”

    It makes me stop and think…

Every detail tells a story: The bold frames remind Every detail tells a story: The bold frames remind me to see the world differently, with courage and color. The white blazer reflects clarity, purpose, and a fresh chapter. And, the gold accents? A reminder that value comes from within, but shines brightest when you carry it with confidence.

For me, power dressing isn’t about looking intimidating, but about embodying authenticity. It’s the art of aligning how you present yourself on the outside with the strength and vision you hold within.

Because when you walk in your truth, style becomes your silent introduction.

Styling is a calling that humbles you. Moments lik Styling is a calling that humbles you. Moments like this, kneeling on the floor, adjusting the delicate strap of a sandal, remind me that elegance isn’t just built in front of mirrors, but in the quiet details no one always sees.

Having the privilege to style fashion designer Stella Jean @stellajean_sj_ during her visit to Haiti @haifex.ht was more than work; it was a reminder of why I do what I do. It’s about service, attention, and the joy of seeing someone step into a look that makes them feel like their best self. The reward? That sparkle in their eyes when they stand tall, ready to take on the world.
