This Style Talk, to a talented group of interior designers and creatives, revealed so many commonalities between how we think about dressing our bodies and how we go about dressing the interiors of our homes.

How we want to feel is paramount, whether choosing the right outfit or selecting the finishing touches for the space we spend most time in.

Look around your own surroundings and observe the colours, textures and shapes. You may find some clues reflected in your home interiors choices that can provide more clarity for your personal style.

Ever sit there dreaming about wearing that faux fur blanket? That`s your cue…..!

⬆️ Ain`t that the truth. I feel the demand very strongly these days.

I firmly believe that regardless of where I`ve been in my career – whether climbing the corporate ladder or growing as a small business owner – every stage is a stepping stone towards the next level.

And with that comes the opportunity to re-evaluate and refine because there is always, always room for self-improvement.

An image upgrade and closet edit can be a powerful part of that – you begin to see yourself differently, you set new standards of being and doing – and suddenly you are already operating at that next level. This is as true for me, as it is anyone else.

➡️ If you are ready to fully embrace the potential of #nextlevelyou reach out and ask me about my Ultimate Style Confidence program. We explore your professional and personal goals and align your style accordingly, so that you start showing up at that next level.

My potential is endless and so is yours 💃

"You`ll get another wear out of that"…..anyone who can relate to the stereotypical Irish Mammy we grew up with in the 80s and 90s will have heard this often!

Now, it`s a phrase that has taken on new meaning for me.

In my latest contribution to the Spring 2024 edition of Expert Profile Magazine, I share how I have learned to get more (like so much more) from my closet.

I don`t shop nearly as often as I used to because over time, I have adopted a more creative mindset that allows me to get so much more versatility out of the pieces I have. What`s working best for me?

1. I have moved away from compartmentalizing my closet, instead seeing it as ONE treasure chest of options that naturally fuels more creativity. No more labelling pieces for specific aspects of my lifestyle.

2. I think long and hard about finding more than 3 ways to wear my pieces, exploring how I can restyle garments for various occasions and across seasons. My ideas don`t always work out, but I at least consider all the options.

3. I am an outfit repeater. I know and appreciate how great certain looks make me feel and I wear the hell out of them.

4. I use accessories as a way to change up the vibe of the same base outfit from one day to the next, styling it up or styling it more casually depending on the occasion I`m dressing for.

5. I don`t let my `good pieces` hang around waiting to be worn for that special occasion. I create reasons to wear them more regularly – by their very nature they are dressier pieces, but I style them down so they can be a part of everyday ensembles. It`s been ages since I`ve purchased an occasion piece, without having a plan to restyle and re-wear it in different ways.

My mindset about my closet is completely different to what it once was, when I spent a significant portion of my corporate income on fashion. My shift in careers forced me to adopt a more creative approach – initially because I didn`t have the same clothing budget and now because it feels like the right thing to do and it`s FUN!!!

I teach my clients how to embrace more of this mindset too. Reach out if you would like to learn more about my Ultimate Style Confidence program. …

Doing more with less, without compromising on your style? It may require you to rethink your shopping behaviour and commit to approaching your closet differently, but it is totally achievable!

My Sustainable Style talk is jam-packed with actionable tips that will encourage you to examine your spending habits and find joy in doing more with what you already own, alleviating the felt-need to constantly shop for new stuff!

All too often we have a distorted body image which confuses the eye when looking in the mirror, leading us to believe we don`t measure up and nothing can look good on us.

My story is that I allowed the acne scars on my face to hi-jack what I saw in the mirror for years, negatively impact my confidence. Now I realize the scars on my face do not define me and they certainly don`t have the same hold on me as they once did.

Learning to be okay with your body and all its perceived imperfections is a tall order for anyone, but the aim of my work is to help you look with a fresh perspective on the challenges you deal with and slowly begin to accept them as part and parcel of who you are. Just like I did.

The focus is never on `what is wrong` with your body, but rather appreciating all that is right with it.

Connect with me via DM or link in bio if you would like to learn more about how a Style Coaching journey can help you re-shape the stories you tell the image in the mirror.

"What are you wearing tonight?"

Style, fit, colour, pattern, fabric – this dress checks all those boxes for me.

But I feel it`s outdated.

Yet I can`t bring myself to part with it because…. I feel pretty damn good in it every time I wear it. Every. Single. Time.

And for that reason, it`s a keeper.

My secret is that it makes me feel amazing, and to me that`s pretty powerful.

Know this:
Feeling good wearing some of your old reliables, is worth so much more than feeling new in an ill-considered panic buy.

So next time someone asks you "What are you wearing tonight"?

Choose to wear "feeling good". Then reacquaint yourself with the `oldies but goodies` in your closet. (You can always make it feel more fresh by choosing more contemporary accessories).

Your energy will reflect how good you feel.
💃💃

POV: when you build a virtual business and get to work with clients who are miles away from home, it makes you pinch yourself at how this thing is shaping up 💃

PS. No make-up today as my first stop this AM was at the dentist.

Your style will grow and evolve throughout the changing seasons of your life. Let it evolve in whatever way feels right for you at key transitional times. Without you ever realizing, it can usher you along your chosen path, silently communicating `this is who I am`. So take control of the narrative and get your clothes to say what you want them to say. Let them evoke the emotions you need to move closer to your desired goals.

Curious to know more about leveraging your closet as a vehicle to get you to where you want to go?

Memo to Mother Nature:
So far you`ve messed up Winter and Spring. Please don`t screw around with our sandal-wearing dreams. 👡 🩴 👠 🥿

Happy Friday folks! 💕 …

Personal Style is about so much more than the clothes we wear. Consciously or not, our wardrobe choices tell a unique story about us. Without even uttering a word, our clothing, grooming and body language silently communicate `this is me`.

How it comes together will look different for all of us. But with the knowledge, the tools and a more intentional approach to how you want to show up, you can control your own narrative and intentionally shape your experience. It only makes sense to use your closet as a vehicle to get to where you want to go. 💃💃💃

Is it in or is it out?

My feed is full of the latest trending version of the classic trench coat – the beautiful cropped silhouette.

Do I like it – yes.
Do I need it – maybe.
Do I really need it – no.

I didn`t opt for a full length trench, and as stylish as it is, I won`t be investing in the cropped length.

I`m going to stay right here in the middle, loving my 3+yr old mid-length trench.

I`ve decided my closet doesn`t have space for multiple versions and there are other pieces I choose to spend my money on.

➡️ So, is it in or is it out? It doesn`t matter. If you still like it and feel good in it, then wear it 💃 💃
