SUMMARY

In this episode, we dive into the idea of the 'fantasy self'—that ideal version of ourselves we sometimes shop for and style ourselves around. We talk about how embracing this fantasy self can actually inspire us to be more authentic and grow, but also why it’s important to stay realistic and avoid putting style icons on a pedestal. We share our thoughts on becoming that “lipstick person” or whatever version of yourself you aspire to, and how small habits and lifestyle tweaks can help you align with your goals. It’s all about embracing the best version of ourselves in a practical, down-to-earth way and using personal style as a powerful form of self-expression.
