3 Tips For Falling In Love With the Wardrobe You Already Have
This last year was interesting one for my personal style evolution. Leaving a several year stint at a fashion company I found my style slightly marooned. I was used to a ‘wear loafers to work but pack your heels for the meeting’ type of mentality. My new normal? A jeans with t-shirt and comfortable shoes kind of workplace. AKA only 2% of my closet was now work appropriate. So how do you rediscover your own personal style and reconnect with your own closet when very little of it fits into your everyday life? Let’s chat.
