TAKE ME TO THE QUIZ

Fashion is an industry, but style is for everybody.

We have all had trouble accepting ourselves the way we are. Sometimes, people use clothes and fashion as a way to cover up who they are, or to beat people to the punch of putting them in a box.

But fashion can also be impressive, thought provoking, and a way to get what you want. That’s what I’m talking to Stacy London about today.

If you haven’t heard of Stacy, you are missing out. She is a veteran TV host, having been on What Not to Wear for ten years, and just recently launching her new show Love, Lust, or Run. But she’s also a stylist, an author, and a woman with an infection sense of energy and authenticity.

I can’t wait for you to hear her story of battling multiple diseases, hunting for her perfect job, and how she’s changing the world, one outfit at a time.

For all the negative messages that loop in all of our heads about what we’re not, I try to use style to dislodge that kind of negativity.
