The thing about color…it IS energy = reflected light. It’s literally a VIBE 🔥 by itself 🙌🏽 & wearing more color can give YOU energy. Win/Win 💃🏾 BUT It’s also intimidating to combine different colors together. I love experimenting with outfits but when it comes to painting walls…not so much 😫 I get the hesitancy to bring more color into your closet not knowing how it fits with your other clothes. My recommendation is to start with a tried & true color ⬇️ 💙BLUE 💙 Blue is a great starting point for ✌🏽 reasons: 1)Most of us own some form of blue: denim or navy ~ it’s color but not ‘loud’. And I’m all about starting with what you have first! #vibebeforeyoubuy 2) Blue is one of the primary colors. That means it can relate easily with a lot of colors because there are multiple colors that stem from it. Instead of thinking color schemes/palettes think of it as a relationship 🤗 Featured in my 1st & 2nd photo are blue items combined with the two other primary colors ‘red’ & ‘yellow’ ❤️💛 3rd photo is the color wheel showing different color relationships 💫 4th & 5th photo show the VIBE/energy difference when I chose a more colorful suit combo. 💙💚 Here’s a simple color mixing tip you can try now! 😄
1) Look in your closet for a favorite ‘blue’ item you own & take it out. 2) Then take out other colors from your closet.(NOTE: nothing white, gray, or black) 3) One by one place each colorful item next to your blue item & observe how you like it. You might just see a color combination you haven’t thought of before! What kind of blues 💙do you have in your closet…is it mostly blue jeans, chambray tops, navy, baby blue or patterned pieces with blues…?

The design element ‘color’ = is light reflected by an object. There are 3 characteristics that describe color Hue, saturation, and brightness. When it comes to styling, it’s not just about wearing colors. It’s about knowing how colors relate to each other and letting that guide your styling 😘  If ‘color’ is an element of your aesthetic style this intentionality will bring a whole nother level of JOY to your outfit styling and expressing your personal style without needing to buy a thing!
Fun right?! 😃 Do you think ‘color’ might be a part of your aesthetic style? The best way to define your aesthetic style is in my YAS Stylists program. Watch the VIBE class to learn how to join 🙌🏽  The design principle ‘rhythm’ = repetition that creates movement 🌀 It’s different from the design principle ‘pattern’ which is repeating design elements in a specific order ⛱ 4 Ways to Style with ‘Rhythm’ in clothes & home: 1) Intentionally placing certain colors in various places around a room so that it makes your eyes to move around the entire room. 2) Layering clothes where under layers are repeatedly seen i.e. at the neckline, waistline, cuffs. 3) Wrapping a scarf around multiple times.  4) Wearing or decorating with an item that has ‘rhythm’ such as:
🪡 Knitwear - most have rhythm in how the thread is repeated in certain directions. 🐆Animal prints - the spots or stripes are repeated in a way that looks like movement 🧺Weaving or rattan decor - have rhythm similar to knitwear but a different texture (see examples in the living room photo above) Fun right?! 😃 Do you think ‘rhythm’ might be a part of your aesthetic style?

1) Take out items from your closet and put them on your bed. First, items you LOVE and can’t wait to wear in the summer. 😍 Second, items you’d like to wear more in the summer. ☀️ 2) Create outfits with those items AND hang those outfits together on the same hanger. Ready and waiting for you on those ‘nothing to wear’ days. 🫠 3) Let your summer outfits shine in your closet! Rearrange other season items and double items on hangers so that they take up less space. Allow more space for all your summer outfits, the key is for them to be easy to see and get you excited about wearing them! 🤩 Final & most important step! SHARE photos of outfits you wear. It’s a great boost of self love AND you never know who you’ll INSPIRE. It’s 2016, I’m an overwhelmed mom of two children under 2 years old… I couldn’t stand that our bedroom had become a defacto storage room but I felt like a terrible mom for caring so much… “Why couldn’t I just be grateful that my boys were healthy & we had a roof over our heads?” 🏠 I tried denying it because I thought that was being a ‘good mom’ But denying it only made it worse. I was waiting for permission to have a beautiful home… for something circumstantial to change, my kids to be a certain age, to move into a home we owned…then I could have a beautiful home. 🗓 I ultimately give myself permission when I got to the root of what I wanted from my a home ⬇️ ✨”a place that inspired me to create”✨ Seeing that written down, I realized I wasn’t a ‘bad mom’ for wanting that or even asking much. So I gave myself permission to make changes now - starting with our bedroom ;) I also got a lot of help from my husband and mother-in-law to do so. Asking for help was easier because I finally knew what I wanted & why. The craziest part is that once I had that ‘inspired space to create’, I ended up creating a business a year later to help other women do the same! Still gives me chills...something I’d denied myself, thinking it was selfish, became the origin of serving others beyond myself. 💫 In my story, my decision came after defining what I wanted but the key is that I needed both of those steps first - my circumstances didn’t change, my perspective did. This process works with homes as well as outfits. In the ‘Vibe’ class you’ll experience this perspective shift towards clothes you own.😍  |
