Style Statement isn't ridiculous: Its about values-based living, recognizing your yearnings and living according to your ideals and core. I have a Style Statement, and it isn't about living by how I dress: Its about dressing by how I live, and allowing it to reflect my deepest self. Their theory is that style comes from the inside and projects outwards, it comes from the heart. If you can reflect your love for, say, nature or strength or perseverance or femininity in everything you choose, then it turns mundane objects into something more powerful. Its liberating, and what's more, it makes things so much easier. You can't intellectualize everything, and even with goals, you can often lose sight of your intentions, individuality and sense of self in the process. Its a powerful anchor and a tool for creation. I don't see a thing wrong with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26408605.post-86903145578354708252007-06-17T14:18:00.000-05:002007-06-17T14:18:00.000-05:00I had my Style Statement done by Carrie & Danielle...I had my Style Statement done by Carrie & Danielle and it was a powerful and practical experience. There was nothing that felt like an imposition or like dogma. <BR/><BR/>In fact, the style statement comes from a detailed and intuitive listening to what you <I>do</I> knew about yourself (e.g. your favourite outfit or what brings you joy) combined with Carrie or Danielle's ability to recognize themes and synthesize information and to capture them through a creative and incisive use of language.<BR/><BR/>A style statement doesn't change who you are. It is an insightful tool. Of course self-reflection and development are key to living an authentic life. But you don't always have to do it on your own. Sometimes a creative and skilled partner can be great help on the journey.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497908067812978628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26408605.post-90232774526620772102007-06-14T15:52:00.000-05:002007-06-14T15:52:00.000-05:00One of my friends actually had her style statement...One of my friends actually had her style statement done by Carrie and Danielle!

"...an investment in your self to achieve inner and outer clarity." "I feel positively liberated by my Style Statement." "...a tool for making choices in one's life?"<BR/><BR/>Really?

How often have I regretted a purchase or a hair cut, after I got it home and said, "this is so NOT me". More than anything, it's a tool for consumers.
