STYLE with Elsa Isaac: Chucking fashion "rules", wearing transformation, and the power of matching your insides to your outsides

Julie and Casey chat with Elsa Isaac, stylist extraordinaire for entrepreneurial women, about what we wear and why it matters. Along the way, they dive into what is “appropriate”, changing bodies and finding ways to make your authenticity more visible. 

 

TOP TAKEAWAYS:

  • No one can give you style or do you better than you do, but a stylist can observe, notice, and collate patterns and help you put it all together.

  • Your body language actually shifts when you wear something you feel good in. It doesn’t matter if something is “In” or not. If it doesn’t make you feel good, it’s not gonna work.

  • People change, needs change, and BODIES change and that is normal! Transformation is expected as we grow. The more time you spend wishing to be different, the more time you’re stealing from the work you’re supposed to be putting out into the world.

  • Mini-lesson: POLISH! What the heck is it, and is it even important?
