My number one piece of advice when it comes to shoes?

Make a statement! 

Contrary to what you might hear, this is not the place to invest in neutral or basic staple styles. Why? ⁣⁣
⁣
Wearing unique, fun, bold or funky shoes is a chance to score extra style points and show off your personality! ⁣⁣
⁣
All it takes to upgrade your look is a fun shoe with a cute detail that represents something you love. ⁣⁣
⁣
Love rose gold? Jeans and a tee become instantly chic with an eye catching rose gold metallic heel. ⁣⁣

Have an inner rocker yearning to come out? A simple tank and shorts becomes a style statement with studded sandals. ⁣⁣
⁣
Even an athleisure look can go from basic to ‘that girl’s got style!’ with a cool faux leather fashion sneaker that makes you feel like a boss. ⁣⁣
⁣
Here, all I did was switch out a neutral sandal for a studded gladiator version and even with such a simple outfit, swapping in a fun shoe still elevates the whole vibe of the look.⁣⁣

Having a hard time wrapping your head around choosing shoes that are a statement versus a staple?

Consider this - ⁣⁣the studded sandal I’m wearing is still the equivalent of a basic black sandal. I can wear it with anything and everything I would have worn a black flip flop with so it’s just as versatile but with more style rewards. (Not to mention it boosts my mood every time I slip into them!)⁣⁣

ABOUT:

I'm a Minneapolis personal stylist on a mission to eradicate outdated style 'rules' so women can unleash themselves in all their beautiful, authentic glory!

I offer personal styling services that empower women to wear what they love by helping them ditch any outdated style rules keeping them stuck, showing them how to dress in a way that embraces their beautiful body and, the key to it all, having fun! I believe in a liberated style approach so there are no style rules, body shapes, seasonal colors or dos and don’ts given out here. Rather, I help my clients tap into what lights them up and dress with the purpose of expressing their authentic selves rather than impressing others.

This is all done through a combination of styling services (including wardrobe edits, shopping trips and styling sessions) available in thoughtfully curated styling packages designed to help clients unleash their true self through the power of style.

When I'm not helping women take back their power style, you can find me reading (about a gazillion books at once), learning the art of pole dancing, making & decorating cakes, binging a random circa 2000's TV show with my hubby, Aaron, while playing with my adorable rescue pup or, of course, shopping! :-)
