From Monday Blues to Monday Moves: Overcoming the Fear to Elevate Your Style

In this episode of the Style and Strategy podcast, Sonya addresses the common fears and intimidation many of us face when stepping out of our fashion comfort zones. She explores how to transform those Monday blues into Monday moves by selecting outfits that reflect the person you are becoming and the goals you are striving towards.
This episode is packed with practical advice on how to elevate your personal style, particularly for women over 40, and boost your professional image, starting with intentional wardrobe choices.
Key Takeaways:
1. Understanding the Fear:
Visibility and Personal Style: Sonya discusses the fear that comes with visibility and how it relates to your personal style and brand. Feeling intimidated when trying new styles is normal and can even be a positive sign that you are pushing your boundaries.
Common Intimidations: She breaks down common fears, such as worrying about others' perceptions or feeling unsure about how to assemble an outfit that represents your personal and professional aspirations.
2. Practical Strategies:
• Choosing with Purpose:
Intentional Selection: Sonya emphasizes the importance of selecting pieces that resonate with your professional aspirations. This approach helps set the tone for your day and reflects the person you are becoming.
Example: Instead of defaulting to a white tee, try a tailored blouse in a bold colour paired with structured pants.
• Planning Ahead:
Weekly Planning: Spend time on Sunday evening planning your outfits for the week. This not only saves time but sets your intention for the days ahead.
Example: Create a mini capsule within your wardrobe, laying out outfits complete with accessories to ensure each day starts with clarity and purpose.
• Accessorizing Differently:
Elevate Your Look: The right accessories can transform an outfit. Whether it's a statement watch, classic belt, or elegant jewelry, these details can refine your entire look.
Example: Experiment with different accessories to find what resonates with you and complements your outfit.
3. Overcoming Intimidation:
Building Confidence: Sonya advises standing in front of the mirror and finding something you love about yourself. This practice helps build confidence and makes stepping out of your comfort zone a little easier.
Positive Affirmation: Identify and vocalize one thing you love about your appearance each day to boost your self-esteem and readiness to try new styles.
4. Personal Brand Integration:
Curated Wardrobe: Think of your wardrobe as a curated arsenal designed to boost your confidence and support your career and personal life ambitions.
Chapters of Success: Each piece should empower you and enhance your professional and personal brand. Your wardrobe is a visual representation of your journey, just as important as being prepared for a presentation or meeting.
