Woman On The Rise

There is something common women today all utter and it's one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves when it comes to our style: "I have nothing to wear."

1. Too much “stuff” in the closet. You need to-do a good purge and inventory check on what’s there. If you have different sizes, times in your life, stuff you tell yourself you’ll wear again – you don’t have a true picture of what you’re actually working with.
2. I have nothing to wear REALLY means, “I’m not inspired to wear anything” – time to get inspired! Watch movies with great fashion, blogs, videos, books. Etc. They will spark your interest and influence you to produce something you think is fun.
3. You haven’t taken the time to experiment. This is the biggest culprit. It’s like we think our clothing will throw a new outfit at us in the morning, and if it doesn’t? We settle for the same combo we always wear. Then we get BORED. So we buy instead of get creative (not that buying is bad, I love a good shopping moment). But shopping doesn’t solve the problem because that new piece will eventually become stale and then we’re back to the drawing board. See what I’m saying? Spend some time getting creative. Match tops and bottoms together you never have or use colourful accessories to bring other colour combos together in your closet you’ve never thought of. My Jumpstart Your Style program is the PERFECT solution for those that need to shake up their closet. It gives you amazing journaling prompts, tutorials and exercises to show you how to crack open your closet AND create new outfits you love. PLUS, you see so many other women in the private community for this program doing the same thing and processing these same exercises, so the inspiration and creativity is next level.

Take some time to play, be intentional and watch the outfit possibilities blossom.

How many times have we desired things, dreamt, or craved a new avenue only to tell ourselves things like:

• “One day”
• “When I have more time”
• “When I feel more ready”
• “When I’ve learnt a little more”
• “When I have more support”
• “When I have more money”

Today, we're talking about how to choose yourself. I can't wait to dive in!

Feel like you're in a style rut? Like you've lost yourself somehow and can't figure out how to stop putting on leggings in the morning?

So many women tell me the same thing. This is where I come in. He-he.

I’m here to give you some tough love today and give you some reasons why you’ve in a style rut.

1. Guilt. This is a big one. So many women experience guilt when thinking of taking time for themselves instead of looking after their kids, business, partner, friends, commitments, etc. They often look at their style as a frivolous thing that can come as an after thought. NO. Taking time to create a style that makes you feel cute and put together when you look in the mirror puts you in a higher vibration. It not only gives you time to give back to yourself so that you can feel good, but when you do, that higher energy you’re experiencing goes back ten fold to those around you. You’re happier, more productive, and filled with possibilities. If you’re a business owner – think about how feeling good, productive, and filled with possibilities – how that energy could transform your day and the clients you attract in your business? That’s a big thing to pay attention to.
2. You hide behind the excuse that leggings are easy to slip on. Now this may hurt, but this excuse is one that comes up all of the time and I gotta tell you, it’s lazy. It takes the same amount of effort to put your legs into a pair of leggings, as it does pants (actually, maybe even MORE effort as some of those babies are tight!). Being that that’s the case, it really comes down to a choice you’re making. You’re still deciding that the leggings are more worth it to you. It’s easier to complain about wearing the leggings than actually doing something about them. But the thing is, if you want a different result, you have to-do something different. Nothing changes if nothing changes. No one is going to drag your butt to the closet in the morning and make you change into a more up-levelled outfit that communicates something better. You have to choose that for yourself. So if you aren’t, why are you holding yourself back? Because this type of behaviour can be a form of self sabotage. It can really take from your self-worth and create some negative self-talk because you don’t like what you see the in the mirror. You style isn’t communicating what a beautiful bad-ass you are. Let’s do something about that.
3. You buy without using what you’ve got. Now, hear me out. I love a good shopping moment. I love it so much in-fact that I made it a career LOL! But, if it’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that you need to be strategic about what you put into your closet and also get creative with the things that are there. Women tell me all the time that they have “nothing to wear” and it’s one of the things I love proving people wrong with. Your closet is always chalk filled with outfit potential if you just spend a little time. Yes, it takes effort, yes it takes time (which I know we can feel short on), but the payback is worth it. You will end the ridiculous cycle of buying for the purpose of just wanting something “new” in your closet and switch to buying pieces that add value and more to your personal style. More outfit possibilities. My Jumpstart program is so good and helping you see what’s there – and helps you see that you don’t need a full makeover to up level your style. Sometimes you just need a fresh way of looking at things! So, my program gives you a really detailed workbook filled with things to journal on, and lots of strategies and exercises that will help you go through your closet. You also get 14 videos from me that are LIVE so you can ask me things along the way and be with like minded women looking to level up and get intentional.

A lot of the time, we can hold ourselves back in our style, business and life, because we often worry about seeking the approval of others.

The little girl inside of us is often making sure we “fit in” and are loved and accepted by our peers – so often time that can come in the form of self sabotage in making sure that our aesthetic, tastes and desire don’t seem ‘too far out there’ to others.

This is something that comes up a lot in my classes. Women share with me that their partners, friends, or family have made comments about what they wear – and instantly go from a high energy, feel good place, to one of disappointment and vulnerable.

I’m going to talk about how to embrace getting dressed for yourself and why it’s important you choose yourself over others in style (and life).

1. You will feel powerful when you magnify your essence in your clothing.
2. It’s okay that your style isn’t like everyone else’s – that’s what style is all about. Remember that. People commenting doesn’t mean anything about YOU – it’s about them. Hubby is different than me
3. It’s okay to set-up boundaries and tell people it’s not okay to comment. This increases you feeling empowered and embracing YOU.
