Personal style is incredibly personal. In this season of Talking About Clothes we dive into those complexities.
We look at how style evolves throughout your life, the importance of owning your own personal style (rather than only modeling it after someone else’s), the values that inform the clothes we choose to wear, childhood influences on our fashion choices, and the process of uncovering what our style actually is (and in some ways, therefore, finding out who we are).

Personal Style From the Inside Out a conversation with Stacy Soderholm
In this conversation we touch on developing clothing habits that stay with you for your entire life, opting out of the exhausting cycles of fashion, dressing to please yourself first.
