Style & Styleability  [my summer internship]

9/18/2014

Comments

 
Hey ladies [and gents] + Happy Thursday! 

So as promised, today I want to finally start to open up to you about my summer style internship with Hilary Rushford + Dean Street Society!!! 

I don't even know where to begin, because in the last four months I feel like I have learned so much + made major strides in my style, my business, my confidence and in return have had the confidence to just do 'me' more//better than ever! 

But lets start with how I found Hilary in the first place, because every journey has a beginning.... 

My sweet friend Jennie use to tag me in Hilary's #StyleMe challenges on Instagram. I started following Hilary, and enjoyed looking at her pictures + reading her encouraging words! I am a gals- gal and love nothing more than a savvy [ahem, stylish] business woman, that knows how to follow her dreams. 

So, naturally I was interested when I saw Hilary post for a summer style internship [virtual, as she lives in Brooklyn, New York and I Atlanta, GA]! 
I am a teacher, therefore I have a solid two months "off" from work each summer. I had gotten my summer off to a bang, starting and completing numerous paintings [more than I had in years], even selling a few!  I started to feel the urge//need to start taking this blogging//freelancing thing more seriously. 


When I saw Hilary's post for an internship, she had also JUST released the video for her last Style&Styleability launch [the one you see above] I signed up for the videos [and honestly did a little vimeo stalking] and after watching the videos, I knew I had to at least apply for for the position. I mean, why not?!  

It was a match made in heaven! [wink] I may be a bit over zealous, but when she called me back she said "This isn't an interview, just like a conversation to make sure were on the same page about things!"


I was completely giddy the whole rest of that day, because I knew I was about to learn sooo much about style but more importantly, I felt like I was about to be learning life skills that would help me have the confidence to grow into the woman I always pictured myself being and having the confidence to step into my dreams, or to at least walk confidently in the direction of them.  : ) 

That internship has now turned into a partnership that I am absolutely thrilled to share with you all about. Watch the video above, and you will understand what I mean. Hilary will give you tips + tools to transform your wardrobe and help you figure out what to wear that makes you feel amazing!

She made me realize I need to start 'shopping' my wardrobe more [that 80% -watch the video-] and simplify//streamline my style. It has made cleaning out my closet + getting ready for 'school' in the mornings sooo much easier. 

Hilary honestly is what has inspired my #CoffeeAndStyleFile [on Instagram] + #OnWednesdayWeWearArt post. Both personal style challenges of the sort to help me get out of my 'habit groves' of a BORING teacher wardrobe. Working can seem mundane at times, so no need for your wardrobe to be that way. Because when you look great, it translates and you feel great! 

I don't want to talk about the video too much more in this post, because I want you to watch it for yourself! But let's start a conversation! Let me know what you think and if you decide to sign up + start a new stylish journey for yourself!
