In this week’s episode, I had the great pleasure of speaking with the incredibly talented Holly Chayes! Holly and I met through a facebook group and when I heard what Holly does for her business, I was so intrigued and I was thinking, “I have got to meet this woman and have her on my show!” We hit it off immediately on our meet-n-greet zoom meeting, and I thought, “This woman could help me tremendously with my wardrobe and my closet!”
Holly Chayes is “style coach and consultant helping you build and keep the wardrobe you want”. Anyone else struggle with what to wear sometimes? Staring into your closet for the “perfect outfit”? Yep, I believe that we’ve all been there!
In today’s episode we dive into your closet and Holly gives you little prompts to help you pick out that outfit, like asking yourself, “How do I want to see me?”. Taking 3 minutes to see what you’re wearing and gifting yourself the answer of how you really want to see yourself that day. Holly talks about how we can honor ourselves with our wardrobes after this year that we’ve all been through with the Covid-19 pandemic (hint: pre-Covid there was not too much loungewear being worn; during Covid, lots and lots of loungewear being bought and worn).
We also take it one layer deeper as we discuss the negative self-talk that so many of us live with, and how our wardrobe can be a positive way that we look at ourselves, and therefore, talk to ourselves. We also laugh about the “dreaded dressing rooms” that we’ve all been in while trying on clothes, and how the lighting and the mirrors usually don’t make for such great impressions! We talk about having compassion for ourselves with our clothing, and with our bodies. Other topics we touch on are decluttering, “getting rid of” or giving away clothes, photoshoots, and so much more!!
There is so much greatness in this episode, so please grab your favorite beverage, and gift yourself the time to listen to the magic of Holly Chayes!! I will link her bio and all the ways that you can get in touch with Holly below. Thank you!
XOXO,
