326: Style Standards

Summary:   What is your minimum style standard?  If you don't know yet, this is the perfect episode ofor you. Setting a standard for yourself in so many areas of your life is important, including your style standard.  Maybe it is lip gloss and mascara before leaving the house, or never wearing sweats.  One of mine is, spoiler alert, hoodies.  Hoodies are great and many women can really rock a great hoodie.   But they just are not my style nor part of my style standard.     Style standards vary widely depending on a number of factors such as cultural norms, personal preferences, and current fashion trends. But your everyday style standard is focused on your expression of YOU. Styling what you wear helps boost confidence and a positive self-image. You want someone to see you, and your style, and know it expresses your unique authentic self.  This is the very reason why I emphasize style and I advocate it.    If you're curious to know more about how you can start elevating your style standards, be sure to check out The Style Experience with me while you listen to this week's episode!  What I Cover In This Episode: 0:00 - Intro 0:30 - Little things that count 1:25 - How do I decide what to wear  3:07 - What are my style standards? 3:57 - The importance of consistency 5:09 - The impact of your "I am" statements 6:11 - How to create your style standards 8:34 - How to raise your style standards 9:27 - How style is essential in boosting your confidence and self-respect 12:09 - Reasons why you should consider having your style standards 15:53 - How to define your purpose   Quotes:   "We can use our style and our environment to help us create new feelings. Which is why I'm an advocate of changing our environments. I'm an advocate of changing our style. I'm an advocate of taking action to shake things up. Because it gives you new perspectives. It allows you to access new thoughts. And it's a quick and easy way to shift the energy at the moment."    "Do you have a set of operating principles that you live by that make it easy to make decisions in terms of how you dress, how you carry yourself, or how you communicate? These sets of operating principles also help you to see yourself in a way that serves you. They help you to elevate your self-image."   "What my standard is may not be your standard. That's the point of style. Style is to be original to figure out who you want to be and to express that on purpose."    "So stop being lazy, stop looking like a bum, let's get up, get dressed, and put our best self out to the world. But more importantly, put your best self out there for you.    "You can have one outfit, one pair of shoes, one statement necklace, one bold red lip, one haircut, one pantsuit, one pair of jeans, one jacket, but literally can change your life."
