Sharing this with you makes me smile – I love thinking back to the girl who felt confident and beautiful in that rainbow shirt and the girl who refused to attend her college classes in baggy t-shirts and Ugg boots and instead opted for a sequined top. Because despite what I think about those choices now, in each of those seasons I was intentionally using personal style to my advantage.

Spring is a season for new beginnings – as the flowers start blooming and the birds begin singing, our souls (and our homes) start longing for some renewal. I don’t know about you, but as soon as the weather starts warming up, I start to get the itch to throw open the windows, let in some fresh air, and clean as if my life depends on it.

What I want you to see today is that instead of saving “dressing up” for a special occasion or event, we should harness the power of clothes to help us more forward towards becoming the women we want to be and living the life we want to live.
