Lately, I find myself—and my wardrobe—at a crossroads. Career-wise, I'm doing "okay," but honestly, "okay" is no longer enough for me. I’m tired from holding myself back and I’m tired of giving less than what I know I’m capable of.
It’s time for a change—both personally and professionally. And somehow, my closet is right there with me, ready to evolve too.
"There’s a Quiet Power in the Way We Get Dressed. Sometimes it reflects who we are. Sometimes it reflects who we are becoming."
For a long time, I thought the purpose of personal style was to express who I am.
But lately, I’ve realized it’s not always that simple.
There are days when I reach for pieces that feel like home—soft fabrics, familiar silhouettes, the colors I naturally gravitate toward. Those are the moments when my outfit mirrors my current self. It's grounding. It's safe. It's me.
But then there are other days—days when I reach for the version of me I’m still stepping into. A structured blazer even though I work from home. A bold lip color even though I’m not going anywhere fancy. A dress that makes me walk taller, think clearer, feel braver.
Those aren’t costumes. They’re reminders.
Because style isn’t just about where you are right now.
It can also be a tool for becoming—a quiet way to call forward confidence, clarity, or direction when you need it most.
So what’s the “right” way to dress?
There isn’t one.
Some days, dressing for who you are is exactly what you need. Other days, dressing for who you want to be is the nudge that helps you grow into her.
The sweet spot is learning to tell the difference.
Not because one is better than the other—but because both are valuable in different moments.
A question to carry with you:
Next time you’re standing in front of your closet, ask yourself:
“Do I need to feel seen… or supported today?”
Because sometimes, your clothes are a mirror.
Other times, they’re a map.
