Your Aesthetic Style BLOG

 When we’re unable to find an outfit, our mind defaults to lack: not the right clothes, blaming our bodies and so on... 🫠
Especially when we feel intense emotions or are pressed for time, having a reliable strategy helps us calm down and focus. 😮💨🤓 This is what designers and stylists do, they use the same method repeatedly, despite having different clients in different situations. It doesn’t mean they don’t feel frantic or doubtful initially, they just know how to get started. HINT: it’s design elements & principles.😉 It’s this focused designer mindset I teach inside YAS Stylists. You don’t need to understand all of the design elements & principles, just your specific combination (your aesthetic style), yas! Your aesthetic style is that clear starting point to go back to again and again in moments when you feel overwhelmed with too many options or when you feel totally out of options. Rather than spend $$$ on a new purse or accent chair, learn a sustainable styling strategy to refresh your outfits & interiors without shopping. And experience renewed gratitude for the stuff you already own, tis the season! Learn how to see your wardrobe a new way inside the VIBE style class.

 If you have a lot of ‘statement pieces’ that don’t easily go together - that’s a sign that you’re an ‘Aesthetic’! Aka someone drawn to beauty 😍 and buys items solely for that reason rather than if they 'go together'.
Statement pieces aren't meant to be ‘pieced’ together with basics. Statement pieces are meant to stand out! 🤩 To do this you gotta get specific on the beauty you want to highlight in those statement pieces. Is it their shape, patterns, lines, colors? 👀 I could wear this green shirt jacket solely as a dress but instead I wore it over a textured top & green pants to add more variety. I want to celebrate my statement piece 🙌🏽 & let it stand out even more with coral pink shoes cuz I love a complementary color combo 🎨 The more intentionally you use your aesthetic style - the more cohesive your looks - no buying needed ♻️ This is what I teach inside YAS Stylists...identifying the specific design elements & principles you’re most drawn to = your aesthetic style AND how to apply it to styling your outfits, home & beyond! The best way to learn more about YAS Stylists is inside my VIBE class. When getting dressed feels like rock, paper, scissors vs. feeling upbeat & fun…it’s time to flip that script. If you’re super picky about outfits & often wear a ‘uniform’ look on repeat, the design principle ‘unity’ might be in your aesthetic style. But guess what?! ‘Unity’ is one of the most versatile principles because you choose how to unify your favorite design elements! In the AFTER outfits, I added layers over my dresses & jumpsuits by choosing items with vertical ‘lines’ & ‘space’ v necks/longsleeves/open buttons. Without having those design elements to focus on it would’ve NEVER crossed my mind. I haven’t worn these looks (except for the last one) before. THAT’s the power of knowing your aesthetic style, it’s like a math equation. It doesn’t matter what numbers you put in (ie type of clothing) when you have a formula (your aesthetic style) there’s a solution - everytime! This is what I teach in my YAS Stylist program - how to pinpoint your aesthetic style & use it to add your personal spin to outfit & home styling decisions. So you can say: ‘bye’ to second guessing your style choices ‘yas!’ to spontaneous dancing as new styling ideas keep flowing You’ve invested a lot into your personal style but following vague advice just amps doubt. With any formula, unclear input (generic tips) = unclear results (generic style). BUT when your input is clear & specific (design elements & principles you love MOST) the results are beautiful outfits that only YOU can create! Because no one thinks the way you do. 💗 Check out the VIBE class if you’re ready to tap into your aesthetic style and start using it today 🙌🏽

"OOO love that jumpsuit, especially the open back & colorful lines are SO CUTE" 😍 If comparison mode creeps in again, go DEEPER 👀 Observe the design elements & principles that stand out like SPACE (open back), LINE (the crisscross straps and the variety of lines on the fabric), & RHYTHM (repeated use of lines on the fabric print to create an illusion of movement). That just might be your aesthetic style 😍 There are ‘clues’ (elements & principles) to your aesthetic style in the things you LOVE. Spending time to recognize & articulate them reaffirms what you find personally beautiful. There’s plenty of beautiful style inspiration but what’s the point if it doesn’t make you happy?😉 If you want more practice defining what you find personally beautiful - take my VIBE before you buy class. Can’t wait to see what you create! 😍 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…? |
