Rethinking Style 2.0 – The Creative Ally You Didn’t Know You Had
Exactly a year ago (happy bday, blog!), Rethinking Style was born in a shower of pink + blue + beige. Aren’t you glad the design changed? Me too. I hadn’t a clue what I was doing what I was doing at the time, but a writer I admired wrote something to the effect of ‘if you have something to say, the best way to get it out there is to start a blog.’ So I did.
Of course, I didn’t know that come November, I would be sitting in my dorm with my final project in my lap, ripping squiggly black caterpillars of thread onto my bedspread while reading Ash Ambirge’s You Don’t Need A Job, You Need Guts and plotting entrepreneurial world takeover.
Granted, school wasn’t exactly a job, but I still needed guts to quit.
Three months later, walking around rural 13×8 mile Vashon Island (just imagine how annoying it was to be asked ‘wait, FASHION island?” by all my smirking friends), shocking grandmothers with my neon stockings, I thought about how you need guts for just about everything worth doing in this world. Like starting a business. And moving across the country. And wearing hot pink tights.
The interesting thing is that there are lots of blogs about how to start a business, and how to become location independent, but…
In a world where concepts and strategy rule, we rarely bring genius out onto the streets. Or into our own closets.
The #1 thing missing from the blogging world is action. Tangible, philosophically-driven action that actually changes minds and opens eyes. Brilliance on the outside as well as on the inside.
The only thing you need from clothes is what you want from everything else in your life- freedom to think + live on your own brilliant terms.
& that’s exactly what I’m going to challenge you to do.
If you haven’t already, watch this video to find out how fashion has been brainwashing every single one of us (yes, even you), and what you can do about it. Starting with the shirt you’re wearing.
Then take the Style Challenge yourself! To celebrate the relaunch – if you post your results on the Facebook page before August 2nd, you’ll be entered to win a copy of my upcoming book, Double Your Wardrobe (which will help you do exactly that with the clothes you already own), as well as a 1:1 Travel Consult with me!
Also: Did you know that 5 Words can change the way you look at clothes, forever?
Yes, really. (It has to do with the consumer -> designer shift I talked about in the video, in a big way.)
Get ‘5 Words to Rock Your Closet’ sent to your inbox, as well as rad tips + challenges in the coming weeks.
5 words. Really. It’ll give you a leg up on the Style Challenge, too, in case you’re struggling!
Did I mention that there’s an early-bird deadline (Aug. 2nd) if you want to win stuff?
Go forth + be brilliant!
Yours in mind-body revolution,
