    Ep215 - Wearing Joy with Casey Lum
    Oct 23 2024
    "Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." —Gianni Versace Fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a reflection of who we are and how we want to express ourselves to the world. But for many women, shopping and getting dressed can feel overwhelming or tied to outdated trends. What if fashion could be a source of joy, confidence, and self-expression rather than stress? By changing our mindset and rethinking our relationship with our wardrobe, we can reconnect with our personal style in meaningful ways that feel authentic to us. Today, I’m joined by fashion stylist and creator of the Wear Joy Project, Casey Lum. Together, we look into Casey’s philosophy of finding joy in fashion and how women can reframe their mindset to feel more empowered by their clothes. Listen in on this eye-opening conversation as Casey and I talk about: Fashion is storytelling: Your wardrobe is an extension of who you are and tells a story to the world Casey’s TGIF Framework: Casey’s approach to fashion includes Thankfulness, Girl Gang (I love this concept!!), Inspiration, and Feeling Words Shop your closet: The concept of having a "no-buy" year, and letting women rediscover and style what they already own Changing our perspective from seeing fashion as something that makes us feel diminished to being a tool that makes us empowered Practice makes progress: Building a wardrobe that works for you takes practice, but it can be fun!! Sustainability and joy can coexist: You can still be fashionable and stylish while embracing sustainable shopping habits Confidence is what matters most This episode will inspire you to rethink your relationship with fashion and view your wardrobe through a new lens of joy, creativity, and self-expression.
