Navigating Trends with Intuitive Style

In celebration of Fall Fashion Week - and to lighten the load of an ever evolving industry with seemingly endless opportunities to purchase new product - the ASC is here with tips to help you navigate trends with ease.

I love fashion and creativity and authentic self-expression, but what I love even more is encouraging women to celebrate themselves. So today we are broaching a topic that can feel dysregulating enough to give pause to even the most self-assured Queen. TRENDS.

The feedback I get when onboarding new clients is that trends feel RISKY, and thus can lead to anxious or avoidant behavior.

The risk of picking a trend that doesn’t look “right”.

The risk of wasting money on a trend with limited staying power.

The risk of looking like you are “trying too hard”.

The risk of “missing the mark” entirely.

The list could go on and on.

To combat the uncertainty that swirls around trends, and the shame that some women feel about not navigating them successfully, let’s build a strategy for authentic personal style evolution.

Enter INTUITIVE STYLE.

At the ASC, we are obsessed with INTUITION, and truly believe that every woman has the power to build a soul-aligned wardrobe when harnessing the power of Intuitive Style.

When it comes to trends, we suggest that you focus on what feels expansive.

1. Start with trends that feel intriguing to you. Make a list or a vision board for clarity.

2.  Pull examples of street style that speak to the above identified trends AND work for your lifestyle. Add those to your vision board.

3. Pull pieces from your wardrobe that live in harmony with the trend direction that you have selected and determine easy categories of opportunity.

4. Narrow the aforementioned categories down to specific pieces and make purchases based on what lights you up!

5. Check in with yourself: If something is not a FULL BODY, F*CK YES, it is a no.You do not have to participate in every trend, so if something feels contractive. SET IT FREE.

6. Keep going on the path that feels expansive.

7. Rinse and repeat.

Remember, you are the wisest woman in your wardrobe, so use that inner guidance system to create style certainty with pieces that feel SOUL-ALIGNED.
