The Authentic Way to Wear Your Life Well

f I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.

~Michelle Obama

Every morning when you stand before your closet, you're not just choosing an outfit: you're choosing how to express your innermost self. The colors, textures, and patterns you select are an external reflection of your internal landscape. It's like painting a picture of your soul, brushstroke by brushstroke, with each clothing item you wear. 

In our Wear Your Life Well journey together, I've always emphasized an approach that is deeply rooted in authenticity and self-expression. And today, I want to delve deeper into the heart of the BE. DO. HAVE. philosophy and approach.

BE: Before you even reach for that blouse or pair or pants, pause. Close your eyes and diving deep into who you truly are. Are you feeling radiant and playful today? Or are you feeling introspective and serene? Recognize your emotions, embrace your uniqueness, and let that be the compass guiding your choices. What you wear should be an extension of your spirit, not just a trend you saw in a magazine.

DO: Once you're anchored in your true self, let this energy guide your actions. Reach for pieces that resonate with your current state of being. Perhaps it's the vibrant scarf that matches your joy or the soft sweater that feels like a gentle embrace. It's about curating your outfit as you'd curate the chapters of your life story.

HAVE: And here's the magical part. When you dress authentically , grounded in who you truly are, you'll find that the items hanging in your closet is  a wardrobe that isn't just fabric and thread but emotions and memories. Each outfit becomes a symphony of your experiences, dreams and desires. 

So, the next time you're about to get dressed, remember: fashion isn't just about looking good on the outside it's about feeling good on the inside. Dress from the inside out and the world will be your runway.
