Style is about showing your confidence through what you wear. It’s embracing who you are. From low budgets to high budgets great style is achievable. One must simply be inspired by culture, embrace their inner rebel, and not be afraid to show it to the world. Love every piece you wear.

The corporate world is full of the same old complacent outfits that are expected to be worn on a day to day basis. Don’t stop being you. Even amongst the monotony of earth tone neutrals (that you must have!) there is still a way to express creativity and be adaptable within the changing landscape that is fashion (those earth tone neutrals are key to establishing a versatile and adaptable wardrobe). Step out of your comfort zone a little, break some rules, try different color combinations. Treat your closet like a vault, where every new item becomes valuable to the entire wardrobe. Don’t tip too far on the side of trendy, but also don’t be too conservative. Staying grounded in the classics gives you endless possibility for creating your own style and identifying yourself in the midst of boredom. Keep a basic mix of casual and BAM pieces. This mindset will expand your mind and keep you creative over time. Roll up your chinos and pair them with that floral shirt. Buy a pair of flamboyant sneakers to go with your broken in jeans.

To reiterate, style is about LOVING every piece you put on, and when you love the look and feel of every piece you own, you can look in the mirror with a daily confidence and creative vigor.

Become a student of creativity and be inspired by the world. Ignite your creativity by being more attentive to your surroundings (nature, buildings, people, logos, signs, design). The world around you is incredibly diverse, and observing it is key in helping one build a solid, sustainable and fun wardrobe as well as a unique identity. These resources also provide insight on trends, color combinations, textures, and ideas that manifest themselves as pieces you might have never imagined integrating into your wardrobe or lifestyle.

Surround yourself with people who support you, and make your mark on the world. Think of your style as a second skin, a skin that is an outward expression of how you feel on the inside. Your style matters because it is directly related to how you LUV yourself, others and your life. You are unique and special. Broaden your horizons, expand your mind, be creative, be you.
