Here’s what I know:
The magic is in trying things.
Not for the outcome, but to show yourself you’re the kind of person who will try things.
This month, I’ve been getting dressed by trying out a new outfit prompt each day. (Wanna see all 28 prompts? Grab your copy of my one-page PDF right here.)
It’s less about nailing the outfit — it’s more about that boost of positive energy you get when you show yourself that you’re still here, still showing up, still trying new things.
Even if it means people see you efforting. Even if it means people see you kinda goof it up. Even if it means people see you fall flat on your ever loving face.
I’m convinced that the world needs more try-it energy. So don’t be afraid to show ’em you’re trying.
Okay, soapbox, climbing down now. 🙂
Jump in with me if you want! It’s never too late.
Here are the recent prompts + outfits:
P.S. If you’re reading this via email, and the images are looking a little funny, it’s because they are actually videos. Click ’em and it’ll take you straight to the blog where you can watch.
P.P.S. I’m taking weekends off of posting these fits to Instagram (mental health, bless), so that’s why the days jump sometimes.
