NINE Ways To Fearlessly Step Into Your Spring Style

By Gessica Marmotta

Hello,

Life is unpredictable, messy and imperfect. Well, it’s also beautiful, mysterious, magical and full of gorgeous surprises.

And while there is so much we can’t control, there are things we can – like dressing up to feel great. That’s my focus.

Although Spring is consistently temperamental weather wise, it is for most of us different this year from other years, emotionally, and I want to encourage you more than ever with these nine inspirations, to do something new with your style, to re-invent, to take it to another level, to fearlessly embrace the unique, and feel the joy in doing so.

I show you how –

detail is important when wearing monochromatic colours
feathers are not just for night
sparkles trigger inner light
gold is gorgeous day or night
black is beautiful and hardly boring
red makes things pop
statement accessories matter to make your outfit, uniquely yours
adding fun is an essential part of what you wear.

Why go to all that effort, you ask, when you’re working from home or only visible from the waist up? Because it makes all the difference to how you feel and in turn, portray yourself. And when else are you going to wear them anyway? Every day – whether you are working from home, on video calls all day, commuting regularly to the office or heading to an intimate dinner party. We are possibly interacting with more people now, via video, than we ever did in person, soÂ make each encounter matter.

If you want to have some fun with your style and go that next level, book in for a virtual consultation. Or if you’re in Sydney, my personal sessions will create the ultimate style transformation.Â

And I am now offering a new service – if you love any of the items in these style curations and they are not available or in your budget, I will source a similar option for you that is.Â

Enjoy,

Gessica X
