Episode 15 - finding your personal style and taking your own measurements May 21, 2020

In this episode, we talk all about finding your own style and that it can take some time to get to a place where you find it! We cover:

Learning how to take your measurements
What is length, pit to pit, hips, waist, laying flat and where is that on your body
Over time you might find your personal style changes a lot - it did for both of us
How much trends effected both of us - when did we more become confident in our own style, is it still changing?
How to recognize what styles work really well for you vs ones that you keep having trouble with or end up not wearing
What is each our favorite thing we own vs, the thing we wear most
Is it okay to have pieces you just love looking at but don’t wear
Can clothes just the same as collecting books - guilt about “material quality “ thinking about it more as textiles - and when it’s textiles somehow it’s ok and not materialistic?
