speak no, hear no, see no…fashion evil<\/p>\n
Yup, you read that right! We are bombarded by fashion advice from respected experts, bloggers, family and friends galore. Tim Gunn\u2019s 10 Essentials<\/a>, In Style\u2019s 10 things every woman must own<\/a>,\u00a0Oprah\u2019s Top 10 Closet Must Haves<\/a>,\u00a0Rachel Zoe’s 10 Must-Have Items<\/a>.\u00a0That\u2019s all well and good\u2026and it can be useful and it\u2019s just is their opinion (and this post is just mine).<\/p>\n I\u2019ve noticed that most people I work with on image (maybe every single one of them) take at least some of these opinions as LAW<\/em>. The white shirt, the \u201cbasics,\u201d the trench, the little black dress, your \u201cright\u201d and \u201cwrong\u201d colors, closets organization rules, etc. These opinions are general\u2026and they are messing you up! Everyone doesn\u2019t need every one of these items. In fact, none of these items work for everyone.<\/p>\n No advice works when it drowns out your voice. Your voice is the most important. What do you like? What do you want to wear? What makes you feel fantastic? What makes you look fantastic? What don\u2019t you like? What don\u2019t you want to wear? What makes you look terrible? What makes you feel horrible? If you don\u2019t know, take time with yourself and listen to your voice.<\/p>\n Stop listening to other advice, even mine, if it isn\u2019t right for you. Throw out\/donate\/burn those items you don\u2019t like! Only accept the advice that resonates with your voice.<\/p>\n Today really can \u201cThe End Of The World\u201d\u2026the world of dressing inauthentically, hiding out in clothes that make you feel small (or big in all the wrong ways), letting people talk you into wearing things you just don\u2019t like, letting people throw out things you love because they<\/em> think the items are wrong for you (really?? what nerve!) showing up to work in an \u201cacceptable\u201d business costume that sucks your vitality and creativity. It\u2019s a new era\u2026let\u2019s celebrate that by celebrating you, the real you, the awesome, glorious you that\u2019s hiding under all that camouflage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are bombarded by fashion advice from respected experts, bloggers, family and friends galore.
