Your style is innate

"Fashion is a trend. Style lives within a person." –Oscar de la Renta I was talking with a friend the other day, and she made a comment that for a personal stylist I don't talk a lot about style. Or fashion. And she's right. I talk a lot about clothes instead. Because when it comes to personal style, your clothes are your tools, and you closet is your toolbox. I don't know if you've spent much time in shops or studios, but every tool generally has a home. And there's a striving for the ideal balance between enough material and supplies and tools to be creative, but not so much as to be overwhelmed. Even though, what that ideal is, is fluid. When you have the right tools, and every tool has a home, and you are moving towards that ideal balance of "enough" but not too much, expressing your personal style is as easy as laughing. Your style bubbles up and bursts out in delight. As a stylist, I can give you techniques to express your style more effectively and hone your style until it's focused and clear, and make sure you have the right tools and every tool has a home. As a coach, I can see your situation from the outside and reflect back the personal style I already see in you. As a consultant, I can help you navigate portraying the person you'd like to portray, and protecting the pieces you're not ready to share. Even with all of that, your style is, and always has been, innately, yours. If you want to work together and express your style, reach out.

Hi Reader – Where I am, today’s temperature has a low almost at 0ºF (-17°C), and a high well below freezing, so I am delighting in having access to a wood stove (in addition to the centralized heating). Between snowy woods out the window, a red fox hanging around, and sipping tea by a warm fire it’s all charmingly picturesque. But this email is not about how flipping cold it is (should I do something about dressing well in the cold?). This is about building, transforming, and getting started....
Hi Reader – Bringing kindness to our clothing choices may seem like a strange idea or nothing more than a drop in the bucket. But we have to remember that the clothes we decided to wear this morning stick with us for the whole day. The clothing we decide to purchase lives in our homes for the foreseeable future. An overwhelming pile of clothing we decide to donate, now overwhelms someone else. Each decision we make ripples through our lives and the lives of the people around us. Even when it...
Hi Reader – A reader sent in a question asking: which styes (boho, classic, preppy, edgy, etc), are best suited to which body types (hourglass, apple, pear, rectangle, triangle, etc)? She said "All the styles that seem to suit my body type, I don’t really like (eg, classic, preppy), and the styles I like (eg, boho, edgy, etc) don’t really work with my body style. It’s a struggle that I am tired of fighting..." She had her specific styles and body type, but I hope these suggestions will also...
