It’s important to dress for home too

This piece is inspired by my friend, Shona Grant, who made the following comment on my recent Instagram post.

“It’s important to dress for home too.”

And she’s absolutely right! Dressing for YOU, at HOME is important. Though you mightn’t dress the way you would if you were venturing out into the world, there’s always joy to be found in what you wear, and you are the most important person to dress for. With so much on offer these days and knowing that pretty much ‘anything goes’ there’s no reason not to dress in anything that doesn’t make you happy.

After I read Shona’s comment, I reflected on what I was wearing. Today for me, it’s all about colour and comfort. I’m dressed in some of my favourite rich warm colours today, and every time I look down and see them, they make me smile. If you’re reading this, you probably already know I’m a self-confessed colour obsessive so colour is what does it for me.

But what is it for you? Clothes can carry memories of the places we’ve been to wearing them, or where we found them, things we’ve done while wearing them or people who gifted them to us. 

Perhaps for you, the joy you experience from your clothes might be based on how they make you feel. Powerful, snug, elegant or free are a few adjectives that spring to my mind but you will have your own words, ones that resonate with you.

Discovery of your own personal style is an intimate and individual journey and one in which only you can determine the priorities. I have numerous activities and processes to help you uncover this, to draw it out of you and to make you think of influences, motivations or inspiration that might be lying dormant until sparked. 

Refining or exploring your personal style can be a really fun, fulfilling and liberating exercise to embark upon and, embraced fully, it is one that will forever change the way you think about the process of getting dressed. I can offer this rewarding experience to you in person or online, from the comfort of your own home.

Dressing for home is important too
