I’ve got a big interview for a dream job tomorrow afternoon, so I spent a lot of time today researching the company, the role, the current employees, the products, etc. and writing it all down! No “gotcha!” questions here, I’m prepped and ready to answer anything they throw at me and cite my sources!
if you grew up being a people pleaser like me, it can be so damn hard to set boundaries. but it was so great when I finally realized I simply didn’t have to say yes to everything/everyone. it was wild. blew my mind. I highly recommend.
dress with intention and do everything for your inner child. my 15-year-old self would fucking love my style today. everything is so algorithmic these days and everyone dresses the same. define your own style identity outside of online influence. look through film, music, old magazines, fashion books, and find people/runway collections/characters whose styles resonate with you. study how people throughout history have communicated with their style. (start with lil' kim!) journal about your style journey throughout your life and think about why you dressed the way you did and how it made you feel. ask yourself how you want to dress moving forward for where you wanna go in your life. study runway collections and learn about the designers' intentions with the stories they're telling through their creative work. when you finally purchase a piece you've appreciated for years instead of impulse-buying a bunch of fast fashion clothes, it's so fulfilling. styling is a skill and you'll continue to develop it throughout your life. it's a journey, not a destination.
