You're listening to life kit from NPrdem.
Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
Today we're talking about personal style when your body changes and look, maybe it feels a bit indulgent or shallow to explore your fashion sensibilities with everything else going on in your life or in the world.
But the way our clothes fit us and how we feel in them can have a big effect on our day to day lives.
And so when your body changes, especially if that change was out of your.
Control, the tiny bit of agency that comes with getting dressed in the morning and feeling like you kind of know what's gonna happen when you put your pants on or your shirt on, and you're gonna go out and they're gonna look the way that you're used to them looking.
Having that gone is a big deal, and, like, that deserves a moment of validation.
I think that's Sophie Strauss.
She calls herself a stylist for regular people.
I think the thing I realized is styling is this thing that people associate with luxury and wealth and celebrity.
So I thought, well, what makes it clearer to people that I'm for them?
You know, this is a luxury type service that anybody deserves to have.
Sophie's always loved fashion.
She'd often put together little shopping guides for friends, but she didn't start to think about a career as a stylist until a friend put out an ask on Instagram.
