Being whole as a woman encompasses the idea of embracing all aspects of oneself—mind, body, and spirit. In a society that often pressures women to conform to specific ideals, the journey toward wholeness can be both challenging and liberating.
At OptiRelate, we believe fashion is not just about the clothes themselves; it's about how they empower clients to communicate their personality, spirit, and creativity without necessarily having to say a word. The connection between mindset and personal style is profound. As stylists, we dedicate attention to mindset as well as wardrobe. The words we choose, visuals we absorb, and our internal dialogue play a significant role in shaping how we feel and, in turn, how we walk through the world. OptiRelate stylists focus on body-affirming language, how our bodies are strong and powerful, and encourage neutral to positive self-talk to help clients shift their mindset. When we work together, the goal is to find styles that celebrate clients' bodies, resonate with their uniqueness, and validate their whole being.
Tip: Choose one standout clothing item or accessory each day and build your outfit around that focal point.
Tip: Weave a favorite color, pattern, regional style throughout clothing, jewelry and accessories for a unified look.
Tip: Erich your wardrobe by collecting pieces that are reminiscent of cherished people, life events, places, or pieces symbolizing a mindset.
Although I'm not packing this top or these jeans (it's important to try on styles to see if they work on the body, not just conceptually!), this picture captures life as I pack. Milton the Morkie has been part of every step in the process, of course.
Back with Phase 2 of my packing process!

Ponchos! I've been a devoted fan for quite some time, and the collection displayed below was curated between 2016 to this year.
Yeup, you read that right—my "divorce loafers." They were the first purchase I made over 10 years ago solely for myself as I embarked on my journey of self-improvement, self-discovery, and building the woman I aspire to be. With ballet flats trending in the fashion world, I've found myself convinced I won't be able to find a pair of flats that compares to these. Cole Haan + Nike, and they work with my physique. I have strong calves, not-so-dainty ankles, and wider feet, and I'm at peace with that. It just means I have to dig a little deeper to find the right shoes for me.
"I want a girl with a mind like a diamond, I want a girl who knows what's best...I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jack---et." Suddenly the song Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake is running through my head and now I'll be running to it today. Those lyrics, though.
One quality jumpsuit can be worn thousands of ways. Just a small sampling with ideas for meeting the needs of unpredictable weather transitioning from late summer temps to early fall weather.
