The day I took this picture, I was holding it together.
Something I wanted didn’t go my way and I remember being devastated.

But seeing this picture reminds me of how amazing I felt and it set something in motion that is a beautiful journey. So got dressed anyway.
Where the color. Choose to be present. Choose to be yourself.

That’s the power of personal style it’s not about dressing up for the world, it’s about dressing up for yourself.
Because rejection doesn’t define your worth.
And just because one door closed doesn’t mean you stop knocking and showing up.

💭 Lesson learned: Stop telling yourself no before the world even has a chance to say yes.

When I grow up, I can only hope to half as stylish as .
Her style was unapologetic and bold, yet classic. Her confidence was always her best accessory and her statement pieces were simple yet powerful.
She will always be a forever 🫶🏾

✨Lesson 7–12 of 49 Lessons Before 49 ✨

For so long, I thought style was just about looking “put together.” But what I’ve discovered is that it’s so much deeper. Because it’s about healing, forgiveness, and reclaiming joy.

👗 Healing my body relationship through clothes.
💫 Remembering the first time I wore something that felt like me.
🌸 Getting dressed as an act of self-forgiveness.
🌈 Using style to find joy after struggle.
✨ Clothes as medicine for the spirit.
🔑 And realizing my healing isn’t complete without a style ritual.

These aren’t just were not clothes I wore but, they’re reminders that style can be a path back to yourself.

👉🏾Swipe through to see how I’m unpacking these lessons, and how you can start creating your own rituals of healing through what you wear.

My idea of fun might surprise you…
Some people do puzzles… I do deconstruct prep looks on a window dress forms. Same thing, but with cute outfits. 😎

Being vulnerable is never easy, but it’s necessary. If I’m going to help women show up with confidence in their personal style, I have to be willing to share how I got here too. My journey shapes the way I coach, and it’s why I believe style is about so much more than clothes.

Lessons 7–12 are on the way… stay tuned. 💫

Which lesson has resonated most with you so far? Drop it in the comments… I’d love to know. 💕

The forecast didn’t call for a jacket but a beanie and thrifted sweatshirt did the trick.
Notice the details?

Yankees beanie… Notorious BIG sweatshirt (ifykyk)… Telfar bag… Some would say NYC’s finest.

Instead of sneakers, I leaned into studded Mary Jane flats for a bold twist. My chunky necklace (a favorite) adds a modern nod to the classic hip-hop gold “dookie” chains.

FUN FACT:
Almost everything is from Anthropologie… Yes even the beanie and the bag charms! But sad face they are oldish but good! 😊



✨ Here’s the thing… when you dress for yourself and experiment with unexpected pieces, you unlock new levels of confidence in your style. Especially for women over 40, it’s not about following rules… it’s about creating energy, joy, and a signature look for who you are right now.

Did I disappear? Maybe.
Was I off living my best life, soul-searching with snacks and random adventures? Maybe.

But now I’m back—fueled by inspiration, espresso , and Law Roach’s words of wisdom. 🙌🏾

Reading “How to Build a Fashion Icon” again reminded me: style isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about owning your magic, walking tall, and dressing like the badass you know you are (even if you forgot for a minute).

So here I am, recommitted to my purpose: helping women feel confident, stylish, and like that girl—even on a Wednesday.

Let’s do this. Comeback season is in full swing, and I brought the shoes to match. 🔥

My little corner of happiness.
Books that feed my soul.
Books that feed my appetite for style.
Books that inspire.
Pens for ideas.
Scissors to cut out the negativity.

Green socks were on the style menu today. And they certainly made for a delicious look!
