Favorite Piece of Advice

Stop dressing for the body, lifestyle, or season of life you used to have and start dressing for the one you're living today—and the role, goals, and future you're stepping into. Confidence doesn't come from perfection; it comes from understanding what works for you and wearing it with intention. When your wardrobe reflects who you are, getting dressed becomes easier, confidence grows, and you show up more authentically in every area of your life.

How do you choose what colors to wear in the winter?
I think the standard fall-into-winter colors are darker greens like hunter, blacks, navies, and gray, but I also believe in bringing bright colors into the winter season because it can be drab sometimes. Bring in a bright red, bright pink, or a jewel tone to really punch up the winter blues. I’m not a particular fan of pastels in the winter, so I’d steer clear of pastels. But I am a fan of white in the wintertime! I wouldn’t wear white gauze pants in the winter, but I would wear a white wool sweater or white wool dress. I’ve even seen white denim paired with brown boots and a brown sweater, and then a brown/white scarf to make up a nice, cozy outfit.
