It’s 2025, which marks my thirty-third year working in fashion and style. It also marks our twenty-second year of living in the US, and nineteenth year of YLF. These things have been constants for long periods of my life, and I’m grateful for them. 

At the start of every year, I re-read Lifehack’s post on how to bring positive energy into your life right now. I find it compelling and it really resonates. You might too.

My new year’s wish for you is to dress HONESTLY. The more honest your style, the easier it is to manage, evolve, and to feel comfortable in your own skin.

Sport a style that reflects your personality, sartorial preferences, values, lifestyle, and the weather. Prioritize comfort, what you enjoy wearing, and what makes you feel attractive. Use your signature style as a foundation to build outfits that feel like you. Nothing is dated when your outfit projects confidence, ease, a pulled together look, and intention.

I further wish you an infinite amount of whatever it is that makes fashion and style meaningful to you. Along with laughter, good health, interesting adventures, fun trips, memorable moments, fab friendships, and waking up with peace in your hearts.
