YOUR STYLE CORNERSTONES™
At the heart of the Blocks of Style approach is a belief that personal style is built over time through intention and intuition. For each of us, there are colors, shapes, and repeated aesthetics in our wardrobe that feel authentic to us, and which appear repeatedly. These recurring characteristics form your Style Cornerstones.
All new client sessions are grounded in the Style Cornerstones framework. Colors and shapes are objective style characteristics. Your overall aesthetic and what feels authentic to you are subjective. Some of your Style Cornerstones may last a lifetime; others may shift with the seasons of your life.
Depending on your goals and priorities for the specific Blocks of Style session, you’ll receive advice on your Style Cornerstones based on an assessment of your current wardrobe and/or guidance on how to further develop or expand your Style Cornerstones. It’s easy to become overwhelmed in our world of endless choices and limited time. You can tune out the noise when you focus on wearing, purchasing, and styling pieces that align with your Style Cornerstones.
COLOR
What colors make you feel like your best self when you wear them? What colors do you reach for time & time again? Are there additional shades that would complement you and your wardrobe? A holistic approach to creating a wardrobe palette allows you to focus on your preferences and incorporate the neutrals (including black) you love.
AESTHETIC
What outfit would your best friend describe as being "so you"? What feelings do you prioritize when getting dressed for your everyday life? Does your current style align with how you want to be seen? Your style aesthetic is where your clothing intersects with your personality, lifestyle, and life experience.
SHAPE
What aspects of your body do you prefer to highlight and downplay? Do you understand how the lines of clothing work on your body? Understanding clothing silhouettes and the effect they have on the appearance of your body is a powerful tool in your style toolbox.
AUTHENTICITY
Each time you have a gut reaction something's not right for you, you're staying true to yourself, honoring your intuition. Over time, style authenticity evolves into feeling certain about your clothes + styling choices because you have a deep understanding of the components of what goes into the looks you love.
Note: Every woman’s situation is unique and each Blocks of Style session is tailored to address her specific needs, focusing on the Style Cornerstones applicable to the particular session.
