SPRING CONFIDENCE
I'm running, not walking into spring this year. Heck I'm jumping in with both feet! Is anyone else feeling like this seasonal emergence is going to be something of a rebirth? I've been working in a number of clients' wardrobes lately prepping for a new season, and feeling this vibe is resonating with so many. Not gonna lie, for me it could be a bit of an age thing. My birthday is in early spring, so it always feels like I'm stepping into a clean slate. And these last few years I've really grown into my "zero (beeps) left to give" attitude. Even though I have always walked to the beat of my own drum, coloured outside the lines, etc., etc., this just feels different. I think so many echo the same sentiment because we're still healing from these last few years. I see it in the fashion world as well. That zero (beeps) attitude. We all know the fashion industry can be eccentric and we typically use the runways as a guide to amplify our monotonous staples. Don't get me wrong, those basics are a requirement for your wardrobe to function, but when they
need some zhuzh-ing we look to the latest looks strutting the catwalk. But I feel like the translation is becoming much less watered down. The runway vs reality gap is closing. Finally, retailers are giving us consumers the 'cred where it's greatly due. We're all cool to toss out the style rules, right? We want an invite to the party too. We're finally seeing models that look just like us on the runways. Those looks we never found quite attainable just became so much more relatable. It's 100% why I love what I do. Yes, you can and should wear that fit you've been pining over. Let's meld your personal style with all of the latest trends for spring. It's going to be killer. At the end of the day "Self-confidence is the best outfit, rock it and own it." The outfit is actually only a small percentage of style. It's the confidence that you bring to the table that really counts. But we still gotta wear something, so let's make it great!
