Episode 260: 10X Your Confidence with Styling Secrets from LA Stylist Tina Choi
There's something I've come to realize over this past year. It's one of those things you kind of know, but you don't really know until you for sure know. And it's this... what you put on your body has an astronomical impact on how you feel in your body.
Personally, my style has been all over the map over the years. For a long time I wanted to put no effort into the way I looked (a rebellion against my mom's passion for looking immaculate at all times).
Then I swung hard in the other direction, wearing heels to class in college and never leaving the house without a full face of makeup and hair done.
Then it was my personal training "fits" era, followed by my jeans-and-a-t-shirt moment that lasted... well, longer than a moment.
Then 32 hit and everything in my closet just felt wrong.
I wanted to feel sophisticated and sexy, but subtle. I wanted to be comfortable, but put together. Casual and approachable, but intentional. And every day I walked out of the house in my unofficial uniform of jeans and a body suit top, it just felt more and more out of alignment with who I had become.
You could see it too. In the micro shift forward of my shoulders, in the slightly slower gate, and in the lack of 'shininess' I was bringing as I moved through the world.
So I tried. I tried shopping, looking at pinterest boards, following fashion accounts, and taking advice from stylish friends. But after years of gravitating towards the same cuts, colors, and fabrics, it was hard to break old habits. And frankly, I didn't know what I was doing when it came to putting outfits together.
Enter: Tina Choi. An incredible stylist and personal shopper based out of LA.
I met Tina through Gio, my bestie and regular podcast co-host, and we clicked immediately. So when she pitched the idea of giving away her services as a prize for my new year challenge winner (you can find out more about said challenge here/in the episode), and that she would take me through the experience to make sure it was a good fit for my clientele, I jumped at the opportunity.
What's taken place over the past week with Tina has been nothing short of life-changing.
The fact is, when you put on an outfit, you're choosing your entire persona and experience of that day.
Are you wearing clothes that are too tight, effectively giving yourself 'fat day'? Causing you to cast your eyes down, and exist as invisibly as possible?
Are you choosing clothes that make you feel feminine and flirty, causing you to strike up a conversation with the cute guy standing in line behind you at the coffee shop?
Are you going with more structure to make yourself feel powerful as you ask for that raise that you most definitely deserve?
It all matters. And Tina helped me define the best parts of my personality that I want my clothes to amplify, she helped me see what in my wardrobe no longer reflected the ideal vision of myself, and she helped me reimagine pieces that I've had for years to bring new life to them.
In today's episode I'm sharing in detail exactly how she did all of this with me, plus she'll be sharing some key strategies you can implement yourself to create your own mini-makeover.
