I always appreciate it when people share about their style progress & success -whether we’ve worked together or not. When I do have the privilege of collaborating with someone on their personal style & branding, one of my goals is to not only wardrobe them such that they look and feel a-mazing, but also give them sustainable style tools, tips, and tricks for their inside-out style journey.
A huge TREAT (pic above) landed in my inbox from a past client turned lovely friend – Cathy.
“Thought you’d be proud I put this outfit together :)”
I was beyond proud, I was tickled to death and just had to find out more!
Here’s how it went down:
Kim: WOW, WOW, WOW! Super stunning, what’s the story?
Cathy: Did a get-in-shape program in June at the gym. End of the program they do a photo shoot for you – hair, makeup, you bring your own outfit. So I pulled that together -without trying on first :(……….. and it worked!
Kim: Kiddin’ me?!!! Not trying it on at first????……How did you have the confidence to make that move? Really wanna know!
Cathy: It was a combo of picking it out late at night and thinking. “What would Kim tell me to do?!” 😉
So there ya have it. From the inside-out, Cathy started with a choice to get in shape. Everyday she chose to stay committed to the goal. She chose to surround herself with positive people who could help her; she enlisted the help of a fitness coach. Her series of small, consistent choices paid off and then…….she got to look like a cover girl for her photo shoot (oh, I guess that was another choice point).
Who do you know who has exercised his/her commitment & confidence muscles to the point of making a choices like that, executing well, and gettin’ a result to be proud of? (The photos create a lasting memory & will celebrate her inside-out efforts forever! Congrats Cathy, seriously…..well done.)
Cathy’s Uniquely Savvy History: Worked with Cathy a couple of times over the last several years….Set a solid foundation by coaching her up in finding & expressing her personal style, dressing w/the right proportions for her unique frame, and putting outfits together………CLEARLY, I’ve gotten the pink slip?! Cathy got after what she wanted & continues to….stylishly soar!
THANKS Cathy, for INSPIRING all of our readers, and for taking a minute to send me that pic. You made my day!
P.S. I thought to myself, “Sheeseh, I wanna look like that when I’m a working mom and a wife.” Then I paused to remember, that’s my choice too. From my recent blog, Who’s Taking Purposeful Action Today, I thought, “Who do I wanna be?” -Who do you wanna be?
