Six Limiting Beliefs About Style You Should Ignore
Hello You! I was recently thinking about all the fashion “rules” that exist and how they can limit our ability to step into our true style. I generally disregard the fashion dos and don’ts, unless they apply to fit and proportion, but for those who still think you have to abide by those outdated and arbitrary ideas, it’s time to rethink things. Below are six outdated fashion myths we’ve been led to believe, and ways you can do things differently. 1.“You’re too old to be fashionable and stylish” Great style is attainable at any age. Look at style icon like Iris Apfel! She was over 100 and was killin’ the…

Denim On Denim!
Hello You! These days, it seems like denim washes, fits, and rises cycle through periods of popularity every week rather than every decade. (Remember actual trend cycles? Me neither 😉 Because of that, reporting on such changes in the jeans space can, at times, feel repetitive. I’m not going to do that. Instead, I’ve chosen to focus my time and energy on the ways that chic people are wearing their jeans as opposed to the types of jeans they’re wearing. Denim pieces, depending on the quality, can last a lifetime, so invest in jackets, pants, shorts and shirts that will last a long time and that will certainly complement your outfits. Plus, combining them into complete denim looks is…

If You Want to Improve Your Style, Give It a Name
Hello You! It may sound funny, but the truth is that the quest to improve your style and make it more authentic doesn’t start with the clothes you wear, but with a full and enlightened perception of who you are or the things you like. We confuse fashion consumption with style, and perhaps that’s exactly why we’re dissatisfied with what we wear. Our dream is for someone to give us the protagonist’s “makeover,” take us shopping, and change our entire wardrobe (hello, “The Princess Diaries”!). But what about when Mia needs to buy something for herself? Will she really know how to continue this revolution that was created solely from…

So Long 2023, Looking Ahead to 2024!
For me — 2023 — like most years, was filled with its share of highs and lows. I’m incredibly grateful for all the wonderful people in my life — and for all the amazing experiences I’ve been able to participate in. Tough times — a blessing in disguise? I’m grateful for the hard times also. It was hard for me to type that, because I would prefer to not experience tough times, but they’re a reality of life. Difficulties can teach us the most valuable lessons, but we have to be open to receiving the messages. (I’m speaking to myself also.) Bet on yourself The most gratifying experiences in my…
