The season of thanks is upon us and soon I will be hosting a feast for 28 family members and I couldn’t be more excited. Since I was a kid, Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday. I love what it stands for, I love the food and we all know I love any opportunity to dress a little nicer than usual.
I hear it all the time, not just from my clients but from friends and family too. Women have this ‘fear’ of being over dressed to a function but what you really fear is being more dressed. Let me explain…
Evolution is the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form. No, I’m not about to get all scientific on you, but I think evolution is an extremely relevant topic when talking about ones image and style.
We’ve all evolved, literally as humans. Careers have evolved, styles and fashion have evolved, but in all this change, have you personally evolved?
I came up with this concept of a ‘Garment Spotlight’ blog one night while I had a few glasses of wine. Its intended tagline, ‘What is it. Why I love it. Where to buy it. How to style it.’ Honestly, I’m sober now and I still think it was a creative idea. So here we are, the first of many in the Garment Spotlight Series, I bring you the shacket.
You say you want to look more put together, and then you also say you don’t like to accessorize. My friends, accessorizes are essential to getting dressed and completing a look! Sometimes a client will tell me, I just want to focus my budget on clothes, not accessories and that gets a hard ‘NO’ from me. I am constantly buying new accessories to change up my look and do the same with my clients. I have compiled a list of tips to help you accessorize like a bo$$.
Why do we continually fall for the quick fix when deep down, we know that to get real results you have to put the work in? I often say to my clients, your wardrobe wasn’t built in a day, we aren’t going to magically transform it in a day. Yes, we’ll get there, but its going to take a little time. On that same note, if you’re looking to really improve your wardrobe and show up in style, its going to take some work and one (or even a few) boxes from a big box subscription service isn’t going to fix that.
