Well hello friends!
How is it possible that another week has come and gone? It's true what they say…the older you get, the faster time flies. (I have officially become my mom...she used to say that all the time.) 😄
I've spent much of this week putting the finishing touches on this year's
Fall Style System, and while I was working, I found myself thinking about something that's become the heart of everything I do.
For years I've encouraged women to #justgetdressed. On the surface, it sounds like style advice. And obviously, in many ways it is.
But it's not just about the clothes, the styles, the accessorizing.
I truly believe that getting dressed intentionally is often the first good decision of the day.
When I take a few minutes to get dressed in the morning, I'm more likely to go for my walk. I'm more likely to make a healthier lunch. I'm more likely to tackle the errand I've been putting off, meet a friend for coffee, or say yes to something I might otherwise have skipped.
It's never really about the outfit. And the outfit doesn't have to be complicated or “dressy” or overly “styled”.
It's about taking 5 minutes to pull yourself together so the rest of the day can start to come together too. And of course, the day won't be perfect, but like making your bed, you've done something simple to get the ball rolling.
That's why I believe so strongly in the #justgetdressed habit. Not because I think everyone needs to be dressed up, but because I've seen how one small decision can have a ripple effect throughout the rest of the day.
And after the easy pace of summer, September feels like the right time to get those #justgetdressed muscles working again. Not because the calendar says it's fall, but because routines give us control, so we are better prepared to handle what life throws our way.
