What I’m about to say might shock you. There is no such thing as staple items every woman should own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You heard me right, no such thing as 10 must have items or 5 summer style essentials you need in your wardrobe or the 7 pieces every stylish woman has in their closet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why? No two people are alike, so why would you need the same staple items as everyone else? Ya don’t!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeling like you have a wardrobe that actually works for you is not about the exact pieces you own. It’s about owning the right pieces for your lifestyle. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To see what I mean, try this exercise:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make a list of the 5 most common occasions or functions in your life. (Some examples: working from home, helping your kids through distance learning, working out, lounging at home on the weekends, attending virtual meetings for work, having to dress in business formal attire for your workplace, work trips, etc.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then ask yourself these two questions:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Do you have items you can wear for each of these parts of your life?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Do you LOVE the items you have for these parts of your life? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you answered no to either question, you’ve uncovered why you feel like you never have anything to wear.

And it’s not because you’re missing staple items, it’s because you don’t have the right pieces for your everyday life.

ABOUT:

I'm a Minneapolis personal stylist on a mission to eradicate outdated style 'rules' so women can unleash themselves in all their beautiful, authentic glory!

I offer personal styling services that empower women to wear what they love by helping them ditch any outdated style rules keeping them stuck, showing them how to dress in a way that embraces their beautiful body and, the key to it all, having fun! I believe in a liberated style approach so there are no style rules, body shapes, seasonal colors or dos and don’ts given out here. Rather, I help my clients tap into what lights them up and dress with the purpose of expressing their authentic selves rather than impressing others.

This is all done through a combination of styling services (including wardrobe edits, shopping trips and styling sessions) available in thoughtfully curated styling packages designed to help clients unleash their true self through the power of style.

When I'm not helping women take back their power style, you can find me reading (about a gazillion books at once), learning the art of pole dancing, making & decorating cakes, binging a random circa 2000's TV show with my hubby, Aaron, while playing with my adorable rescue pup or, of course, shopping! :-)
