Keep On Hydrating
Issue No. 11
Are you a half glass full or empty kind of person?
It’s easy to allow the environment and seasons to take hold and shift your mindset. For example, cold, grey, snowy days (ahem, today in St. Louis) have beauty within them, but the dreary weather can quickly shift a moment or a mood. They can move you towards exhaustion, being antsy, or slowing down. There’s positivity, neutrality, and negativity in these moments. It’s a matter of how to decide to direct yourself.
Often, I’m a glass half full person, but on occasion, my outlook can move towards half empty, which can be a healthy tool when identifiable. This reflection feels notable this week, given that I was in Los Angeles and felt a physiological shift going from one drastically different locale to another and then back again. But rather than let the rapid ebb of environments take hold of me, I went for a run, focusing on bringing myself out of the jet lag feeling.
In lieu of getting caught up in an idea of one way only or letting an environment take control, I decided to return to my word for 2022 and shift the perspective. This choice applies to many, if not most (or all, some would argue), aspects of life. In the lens of styling, perspective helps us consider how we want to personally express ourselves through the adornment of clothing, accessories, and wearables. You have the power to change the perspective, to change your expression, to change the approach, and to change your clothing.
