What can we learn about ourselves when we look closely at the style choices we make?
Personal style is a series of choices. It’s a daily exercise to check in with yourself and understand who you are. How do you want to feel today? What makes you feel like yourself?
For me, I like my outfits to have a little sense of humor, a balance of masculine and feminine and a little friction: something unexpected like a cool texture, a weird shoe, a design quirk or an interesting shape.
On the other hand, getting dressed is also just a lot of fun. It’s like being a kid and playing dress up again. And thank goodness for that. What a wonderful escape sometimes from a world that can feel dull, monotonous and even harsh.
Despite what social media shows us, our days aren’t filled with walking runways or sitting on a private jet! That doesn’t mean life isn’t worth showing up for, celebrating ourselves and wearing something special.
Looking back on 2025, I am grateful for the small moments in life that I personally found worth getting dressed for: walking the dog, meeting a friend for dinner, bopping around town or grabbing coffee.
In 2026, let’s resolve to wear our clothes. Don’t keep your best items in a drawer waiting for a day that may never come. Wear the jacket, pull out the purse, and throw on the dress. The world is our runway. Let’s have some fun and make this our best year yet.
What item already in your closet are you resolving to wear in 2026?
