Go to your closet (or picture it if you're away from home) and look for the spot that holds clothes you love, but simply haven't worn. Clothes you have hanging up or folded at home that are so special... you've never worn them, are all too common. I call these clothes the 'someday clothes', they reflect who you are and truly make you smile, and yet they sit in the back of your wardrobe or dresser and rarely, sometimes never, see the light of day.
If You Love It, Wear It!
I counsel my clients on the importance of being themselves, in order to craft an authentic image over time. I invite them to go beyond generic styles to help the world see and understand more of who they truly are. This is why all the 'someday clothes' you have are so important. Whether you want to kick off the new year, or simply because you're ready, now is the time to make someday... happen.

A Quick Story
One of my clients owns some amazing garments created by the likes of Alexander McQueen and Thierry Mugler, but she rarely wears them. The reason? Until recently, she couldn't imagine how to use such lavish garments without feeling over the top. Some of them are flashy, while some show a little too much skin. Her desire to remain modest is easy to understand, and yet she also wants to enjoy these amazingly crafted clothes. In one case the balance we found was to pair a dynamic and exciting McQueen garment like the one shown, with a simple turtleneck. The layering solution kept her garment from being too revealing, while offering the visual excitement she truly wanted. What was also important about our decision was how the garment, with all its style and flare, lent itself to her creative lifestyle without undermining her leadership role with the addition of the turtleneck. By connecting the things she loved, and hadn't worn, with the things she had worn, we created a compelling and unique style statement, and you can too.
No More Excuses
End the excuses for why the clothes you love haven't been worn; unless it's a wedding dress or a Halloween costume, there is a way to integrate who you are with what you wear in a natural manner. From layering and patterns to exciting shifts in your overall image, if you love it, when you wear it you will create a memorable shift in how people perceive you. As you prepare outfits in the mirror notice how you feel about the clothes that you've been saving. Take time to integrate them one piece at a time; from a bright skirt, to a bold shirt, bringing visual impact is a great way to express more personality.
