Let’s talk personal style for when life punches you in the face.
When life punches you in the face the last thing you should be worried about is what to wear.
It could be a staggering punch: What do you pack when you need to catch the very next flight without a return ticket?
A professional punch: What do you wish you had worn when you run into your boss or boss’s boss at the airport on the way to a work conference?
It could be a punch you see coming: What do you wear to the family dinner when you know it will be ruthlessly analyzed and judged?
Or even a million tiny punches: What do you do when everyone insists you look “so much better” in something that riddles you with doubt?
People say “what you’re wearing doesn’t matter.” But anyone who has worn the wrong thing to a big event knows that’s not true. You being there might matter more than when you’re wearing (that is true). What you’re wearing still matters, and we all know it.
It’s easy to ignore your closet and brush off your style when things are going fine.
Sometimes your closet is a nagging project, like fixing the wobbling facet, but easy to put off. Sometimes it’s something you know is coming to bite you eventually, like a semi-functional heating system, but something else is more pressing in the moment. Sometimes your day to day can cover over a major problem, like a missing subfloor, until you look up one day and the radiator has sunken through the living room floor.
Life punches us all in the face eventually, ignoring the inevitable does not make it less likely to happen.
I focus my styling practice on your day to day genuine style so that when those moments inevitably come, you don’t have to worry about what to wear or how to meet the moment.
If you want to stand more steadily and ride the waves of those moments more gracefully, work on your stance before the moment arrives.
How you dress changes how you meet this moment and every moment going forward – the big, the small, and the punches.
