How you dress matters! And it's not an age thing, it's your attitude
How you dress matters! And it's not an age thing, it's your attitude
Our identities when we go to work are represented by what we wear and how we 'dress for success' but when our life starts to change, and become more varied - that changes too.
It's no secret that our clothing style changes as we age. The trick is working out how to dress, and present yourself to the world when everything ELSE in life changes.
What do you wear, if all your life you've worn a suit to work every day? Or a pair of heels? How do you dress for you attitude, for a new phase in life, and not your age? How do you think about fashion, style, and function, when your identity comes from a portfolio life of activities?
In episode 7 of Prime Time, I chat with fashion designer and stylist for people of all shapes and sizes, Nikki Parkinson, and we discuss dressing for your life, not your age. Nikki has been a voice of empowerment in style with her social media powerhouse brand Styling You for more than ten years. And today she shares her best Prime Time advice, as a Primetimer herself!
