The difference? Defining what you want 👀 Style isn’t circumstantial. Style is intentional 👇🏽 It’s not dependent on the type of clothes, body, or budget you have. Coco Chanel says it’s an attitude. I like to say it’s trusting your inner stylist 💗 Subconsciously you know what you love & want but for many of us our innate desires have been pushed down for years, everytime we shut out our intuition. That’s why I created the YAS Method. 🙌🏽 Define👀 Create💃🏾 Share 📸 These are the 3 Steps of the YAS Method 👉🏽 they’re a mindset shift against 3 blockers to trusting our inner stylist - comparison, consumption, criticism. If you feel like you’ve invested a lot in your style but still something isn’t sitting ‘right’ or you’re second guessing and comparing yourself with others…THAT is exactly what the YAS Method is for! Connecting to our subconscious is deep work but our eyes are a short circuit to it 😉 especially when it comes to your style. Learning how to observe more than compare is how you start to see your ‘same old stuff’ in an entirely new way. And it’s so dang FUN too! 🙌🏽

I’m an aesthetic person. How things look matters to me, a lot. Embracing that instead of fighting is when things changed. I tried & tried to push it down, ignore or tell myself I’m being unreasonable or materialistic for wanting a beautiful home while raising kids….that just created more guilt. Here’s what helped most: 1) Defining what I wanted most from my home. 🏠 The answer was unexpected: a space that inspired me & my family to create 🎨 2) Giving myself permission to invest time, energy,💵 to do so 3) Including my family in my home dream both practically helping and understanding why it’s important to mommy 💗 Can you relate? Let me know below, I’d love to hear it. You’re an aesthetic - someone who prioritizes aesthetics over order & function. Or if you’re like I was for years…
You might be a suppressed aesthetic, trying to minimize/push down how important aesthetics are to you. ❤️🩹 But going back to capsule wardrobes…🤓 As an aesthetic you likely own a lot of stand out beautiful pieces that are harder to style together. Sooo trying to identify a few key staples to repeat is much harder with the type of items you have. Hence feeling constrained by capsule wardrobes. 😕 Here’s what to do instead 👇🏽 Focus on defining what attracted you to the pieces you own… there’s a red thread of design elements and principles that ties them together (psst it’s your aesthetic style 🤗) and that’s how you tap into outfit inspo that feels like ‘you’. How do you find your aesthetic style? Inside my signature program: YAS Stylists where you’re the stylist your home & closet need most ;)  Instead of seeing your Pinterest board as a shopping list, see it as a recipe 🤓
Our eyes see the recipe but we’re overthinking it 🫠 too much in our heads because most style advice is fixated on items - wide leg pants or skinny jeans, mid-century modern or farmhouse… Okay but the real question is: what do those items indicate about what you find personally beautiful? Shopping is easy 👉🏽 styling (pulling it together) takes vision. That’s where I can help 💗 with a one-of-a-kind VISUAL quiz to block out that mind clutter and see the red thread in all those different styles on your Pinterest board 😍 Read more about the YAS Quiz here and how to take it inside YAS Stylists.  LINE 🤓 Is it implied or actual? Geometric or organic?
4 terms used to describe the design element ‘line’ and, more importantly, what types of lines you find most beautiful! 😍 Implied line = illusion of line created like the edges of the dresser or the edges of the lamp shade in the photo above. Actual line = drawn lines like the borders on the bed frames or the lines of lamp base. Geometric line = straight, smooth edges, curves or angles *almost* all the lines in the photo are geometric. Organic line = flowy, all over the place think plants, wood most natural things. In this photo, if you look closely, in the bottom corners, the creases/wrinkles of the bedsheets are organic lines. Now it’s your turn to observe your home & in your closet. 👀 What types of ‘lines’ are most dominant? P.S. If you notice lots of actual lines (geometric, organic or both) ‘Line’ is likely one of the design elements in your aesthetic style 😍 Finding out the other design principles and/or elements of your specific aesthetic will give you more ideas for accentuating ‘lines’ in your outfits & interiors. Those intentional details that bring you JOY is what personal style is all about, yas! |
