If you search "How To's" about style, color, outfits, body shapes on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok you should be one of many stylish people in the world.
And yet, you rarely gain confidence as a result of what you wear despite all the posts you've saved, pins you've read, reels you've watched.
To gain this confidence we need to go much deeper.
We see ourselves through a certain lens.
We must be willing to put ourselves in a vulnerable position to challenge the way we see ourselves, and to see the change we want to happen.
I want you all to understand some key things about true style and personal image transformation:
- It's a marathon, not a sprint; change doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey, a long term experience that can't be delivered in a day.
- You need to be comfortable with feeling vulnerable, so you can challenge preconceptions of yourself and how you've always shown up.
- It requires a journey into your deepest self, your fears, your goals, and who you are.
- It requires kindness and patience.
- It requires an understanding of the technical components of outfit composition shared by a trained professional.
- Styling is never, ever a "one size fits all" approach.
You might have watched 1000 reels on "how to style an outfit" and yet still feel hopeless, out of place.
You still think the world of stylish dressing is out of your reach because you're not thin or tanned, you don't have designer pieces, your body isn't perfect, your skin has wrinkles, or, you can't afford Botox...
But the truth is, anyone can experience the joy of magnificent dressing, of feeling confident, or feeling included. However, it requires a more in depth, professionally led journey to uncover your voice, challenge your perceptions, and extract your authentic self which we can then convert into your image.
