Transform Your Everyday Style. In this month’s Elle magazine (does anyone else still subscribed to magazines?) the poet, Claudine Rankine comments…

‘Your everyday style is very close to your best style’

What she means by that is that you should look and feel like yourself (and as close to the best version of) whether you are walking the dog, going on the school run, working from home. Because it ruins your everyday when you look in the mirror and you are unhappy with what you see.

How To Transform Your Everyday Style

Your true style is NOT when you ‘make an effort’ to dress for the office or attend an event.

And actually getting dressed shouldn’t require effort. So if you are putting too much energy into your style everyday your wardrobe is unproductive. 

Because in reality most mornings allow us no time to think about what to wear… mornings are hectic and chaotic and we grab for what is familiar.

But maybe what is ‘familiar’ is the problem.

➡️ ‘Familiar’ is keeping you small

➡️ ‘Familiar’ is stopping you from dressing the way you REALLY want to dress

➡️ ‘Familiar’ is stopping you from levelling up

Sadly this behaviour of relying on the ‘familiar’ is really common.

You know you want to dress in a certain way (ie better, more pulled together) and you even own some of the items that communicate who you are but something is stopping you…

A fear…

… of what Justine at work will think

… looking like you tried too hard

… of investing money in yourself​

(sound familiar?)

💥 There is no shame in self improvement.

💥 It’s time to ignore jealous Justine*, and show up in your life they way YOU want.

*not all Justine’s are jealous.​

💥 You deserve to look and feel amazing every day… in fact, it is your right as a human being to enjoy your life to it’s fullest and live in your true magnetism.

Break the habit of being your (lesser) self.

What to do about it…​

✔️ Make a commitment not to shop. Understand what you have first, what you love and what you don’t.

More clothes doesn’t equal more style

✔️  Understand the real reason you aren’t wearing 80% of what you own (too overwhelmed, doesn’t reflect your style, money mindset)

✔️ Don’t save your clothes for best!! (I showed a client how she could wear all her dresses for her every day life with shoes and accessories… she was blown away by how many more outfits she now has). ​​
