Use your outfit to make an impression before anything else.

We’ve all heard the saying—A picture is worth a thousand words.

Similarly, you can use your outfit to make an impression before anything else. You have the chance to express yourself, your story, your creativity, your mood... all by putting in the work to discover your personal style.

Your outfit can become a display of the work you have done to know yourself and to know what makes you feel confident and comfortable.

This is also a key part in thinking sustainably with your style! It informs what you buy. You will start to be more intentional with what you bring into your collection, and be more likely to wear and repeat wear what you have. It will also be more clear when it is time to let something go.

And if you’ve done the work—you’ll be happy for your outfit to be your first impression...your handshake to the world.
