Your Style Vision May 29, 2023

Show notes

This is the missing piece to most women's style and without it, you might feel like you never feel like you have this "style thing" quite figured out.

Having a style vision is crucial to make a lasting impression through visual cues. It goes beyond simply following fashion trends or buying the latest clothing items; instead, it involves creating a cohesive and authentic representation of oneself through style choices.

A style vision acts as a guiding principle that helps shape a unique and identifiable personal aesthetic.

One of the key benefits of having a style vision is that it fosters self-confidence. When you have a clear sense of your personal style, OWNERSHIP of your style and know how to showcase it, you exude confidence.

Dressing in a way that aligns with your vision allows you to feel comfortable and empowered in your own skin. Whether it's a polished and professional look or a quirky and eclectic ensemble, having a style vision gives you the confidence to embrace your individuality and stand out from the crowd.

In this episode I'm walking you through utilizing a style vision to save money and create a style you love.

A bit of a different episode as I take you behind the scenes of what's been my busiest season both personally and professionally, pulling back the curtain on what you don't see online.

We talk about the balance of personal and professional life as a busy mom, stress, breakdowns, highs, and lows, and important topics that don't get talked about nearly enough as we often only see the "highlight reel" of it all.

I talk through how style has played a role in my day to day from packing for trips to bathing suit confidence to the biggest speaking opportunity of my life to planning for a brand photoshoot.

I hope you enjoy this raw conversation and feel like we're chatting over a glass of wine.
