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\u2019m here to give you some tough love today and give you some reasons why you\u2019ve in a style rut. 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\u2019re experiencing goes back ten fold to those around you. You\u2019re happier, more productive, and filled with possibilities. If you\u2019re a business owner \u2013 think about how feeling good, productive, and filled with possibilities \u2013 how that energy could transform your day and the clients you attract in your business? That\u2019s a big thing to pay attention to.  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\u2019s 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\u2019s the case, it really comes down to a choice you\u2019re making. You\u2019re still deciding that the leggings are more worth it to you. It\u2019s 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\u2019t, 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\u2019t like what you see the in the mirror. You style isn\u2019t communicating what a beautiful bad-ass you are. Let\u2019s do something about that. You buy without using what you\u2019ve 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\u2019s one thing I know for sure, it\u2019s 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 \u201cnothing to wear\u201d and it\u2019s 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 \u201cnew\u201d 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\u2019s there \u2013 and helps you see that you don\u2019t 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.
