I’m not a particularly fancy person.
I live in the midwest, I have two kids, and I work from home. The rhythms of my life are pretty ordinary: I have no red-carpet galas to attend, no holiday office parties, no hot dates with strangers I’m trying to impress. I may not have a closet full of ball gowns, but my clothing still makes me feel vibrant and ready for each day - however ordinary it may be.
Women tell me their wardrobes are boring, they’re in a rut, and they don’t feel like they’re expressing their true selves - and then they say something like, “I’m retired so I don’t need fancy clothes” or “I work from home, so what’s the point?”
You don’t need an exciting lifestyle to have an exciting wardrobe.
An exciting wardrobe, after all, is just a wardrobe that makes you feel good when you open the closet door. It could be a collection of graphic tees and Converse, an array of super-comfy sweater tunics, or a selection of chandelier earrings.
Some of my clients who have made the very most progress with their personal style are women who are retired or work from home.
When you aren’t going to an office every day, when you don’t have to construct your image around an outside dress code, you have so much more freedom! But it also becomes extra important for you to have clothes that make you happy to get up and get dressed in the morning…or you won’t.
One of my clients in particular has made incredible strides with her morning routine this year. She homeschools, works from home, and when we first started working together, she was in a rut where she wasn’t enjoying her clothes at all. In fact, she hated them. She struggled to really “get ready” in the mornings, because there was nothing to get excited about and nowhere she needed to be.
Now she’s playing with jewelry, building a mix-and-match wardrobe of colors she loves, having fun with lipstick, and still feeling totally comfy around the house. She feels more motivated and she’s expressing her personality through her style. When she sends me photos of her outfits, the first thing I always notice is how happy she looks.
