Are you ready for your new normal?

What we really are creating is YOUR NEW NORMAL. You can learn how to dress for your body, your age demo, your life.

I couldn't believe the title of Ryan Murphy's (Glee) new show-The New Normal. I say that term all of the time! When working in your closet, I continually preach that what we are creating, at first seems so left field...in fact wrong, incorrect, crazy and weird. You see, your brain gets used to what you tell it. When you show it something different, at first your natural reaction is to hate it, think "it's crazy", "oh no, I could never".

There isn't a client who doesn't go through some sort of panic when we are together. It's normal. Your brain is there to protect you from experiences that could be damaging. Sometimes your brain doesn't recognize good differently from bad.

Factor in that you could be working in a highly masculine profession and a super duper smarty pants (meaning your an academic). It takes your brain a moment to switch over, allowing these new concepts in.

As a culture of what I like to call "university of same", it's become increasingly harder with business casual to step out and forge ahead. Some of you opt for fitting in while some of you may work at home and it's only the kids and your dogs who will see you that entire day. So, you think, "why bother?"

Ultimately, you have to signal to yourself that every day is the very first day of the rest of your life. If you like who you are and what is in your closet, it damn well is going to be an easier day.

Clothing is essential to covering your body, being interested is not.

Navigating your day in a way where you "got this"...who doesn't want that?!

As a culture, we accept or reject in a millisecond.If you don't like what you are wearing, how's that going to bode for your day or those around you?

Clothing is truly your secret weapon. But if you don't know how to fire the gun, than perhaps you need to learn. :)

Bloomspot is here to help! I did not even begin with rates like these in 2004. For all of you who are not new clients, please book yourself a 2 hour session in your home or shopping. Bigger packages are ONLY open for NEW clients

You can add time to your 2 hours by sharing. Each person you recommend that purchases a package will give you an extra hour towards your session.

If you purchased 2 hours from my Summer offer, you are NOT eligible for Fall (but will you please check in as it is expiring really soon).

There is lots of excitement in this Fall's trends..Studs, Vintage graphic prints, menswear in footwear, more over skinny jeans-the pant is back. Time to create your NEW NORMAL.
