141🔸Signature Style Announces You Before You Open Your Mouth

Every system in the style world is built to sort you into something. None of them are built to actually see you. There's a quote from stylist Kimberly Parry worth sitting with: when image is done right, it becomes your three second resume. People form an idea of who you are before you open your mouth. Most systems answer that with a type. Body type, color season, archetype. Stack enough of them and the read gets closer. It rarely gets exact. There's a different way archetypes get used, one built to dissolve a complex rather than assign a category. I share my own story with this one, moving from a Cinderella kind of role in someone else's story to something entirely outside that hierarchy. Discovering your Signature Style is the most effective way to be read accurately before you ever speak. This episode walks through three different ways archetypes function, and what it looks like to build a read that comes from you specifically, not a system built for thousands of people at once.
