Now more than ever, it’s important to calibrate your energy. Because whether we’re talking about the macro moments of the world or the micro moments of your own life — it’s easy to lose yourself.
That’s why I turn to my daily practice of getting dressed, so I can harness the energy of my clothes to both express myself and find more connection in the world.
Which brings me to one of my core styling philosophies: get dressed for how you want to feel, not what others think. It’s often misunderstood.
Choosing what to wear based on how it feels to you — instead of how others might perceive it — realigns your energy, keeping you grounded in authenticity and presence.
But that doesn’t mean ignoring others or the world around you! It’s about aligning your energy to meet the moment— respecting others, and reading the room to convey, “I see you. I acknowledge your presence,” which creates space for genuine connection. (This video dives deeper into this idea.)
So think about working with the energy in the room — not bending to fit into it. By staying true to your self expression, you can be fully present, which naturally elevates your energy.
The way to achieve this alignment is by balancing your style parts.
What are style parts?
They’re the individual pieces of your personality that come through in your clothes. We all have them, and some days, different parts need to take the lead.
The key is bringing these parts into beautiful balance — allowing one to lead, while the others serve as support.
For example, the other day I had a meeting with a local fashion designer to discuss a collaboration. As I got dressed, I thought about which of my style parts would lead the day.
Right now, my core style parts are: Edgy, Elegant, Energetic.
I put my outfit together in the usual dynamic opposition —(another core styling philosophy: the best looks come from unexpected twists!)
But when I got to my shoes, it was time to decide.
Would I go with the edgy floral combat boot? Or the elegant classic ankle boot?
I chose Elegant.
And when I walked into that meeting I felt fully expressed AND aligned with the energy in the room.

Just remember this one thing:
Once you calibrate your energy, your style parts will evolve as you do. So it’s important to keep current with the vibe you’re fulfilling.
If you’ve lost touch or you’re still dressing from an outdated version of yourself, it’s time to realign. And this is exactly what I’ll help you with in my upcoming free workshop — where I’ll show you what your wardrobe needs to energize your next chapter!
