How to be Chic 101

Welcome girls,

Today is the first lesson of being chic. Sit back, relax, but don’t forget to take notes!

✨Master routines: every chic girl knows her routines and she sticks to them. Starting off easy, we are going to create a sustainable morning and night routine that we can stick to. Once we master that, we can start adding more into them. For now, keep it light and simple and most of all, FUN!

✨Prioritize self care/alone time: all chic girls don’t become chic by catering to others or burning themselves out. They spend time alone, taking care of themselves, and their mental health. This can look like so many things, but it all depends on what you enjoy doing the most. Make a list of the things you love to do on your own or showing yourself some extra love with self care and start to integrate them into your busy weeks, even if it’s for 5 minutes a day. Always take care of yourself!

✨Workout/move your body everyday: this is self explanatory!!

✨Nourish your body with healthy food and lots of water: again, self explanatory!

✨Stick to a budget/invest your money: how else do you think chic girls afford their lifestyle? They don’t waste money on things that don’t last. Learning how to invest and not waste your money is one of the chicest things you can do!

✨Find your signature style: this is one of my fav topics! There are no tips aside from learning what clothing pieces feel best on YOU. Don’t follow trends and don’t buy fast fashion. All you need is to build out a capsule wardrobe that will stand the test of time. Then you’ll have limitless outfits to wear that you know you feel your best in.

✨Always be eager to learn and grow: chic girls are confident. A large way to gain confidence, is through learning. The more you learn, the more you grow. You can listen to podcasts, read books, and talk with like minded people about topics you’re interested in learning more about. Smart = chic

✨Connect with like minded people: this can be in business or your personal life. Chic girls get to high places by networking and putting themselves out there. Even if you are shy, start small and connect with girls over social media who are in places you want to be or go places you also want to go. Or even find a mentor!

✨Love yourself for being you: saving the best for last. As long as you’re operating with your best interest at heart, then you’ll always be the chicest version of yourself. Learn to love who you are now and be accepting. Once you do this, it’s way easier to navigate who you want to become.

I will make a separate post about each of these topics and dive deeper into them. Until then, stay chic 💋

... Read moreAchieving a chic lifestyle involves adopting habits that reflect confidence and self-love. Start by creating morning and night routines that cater to your personal needs. Incorporate self-care into your daily life, even if it means taking just five minutes for yourself. Regular physical activity is crucial—find a workout you enjoy to keep moving every day. Additionally, focus on nourishing your body with healthy foods and staying hydrated. Financial savvy is also key: be smart with your spending and invest wisely. Building a capsule wardrobe allows you to develop your unique style and avoid transient trends. Continuous learning is invaluable—read, listen to podcasts, and engage with like-minded people to grow and thrive. Ultimately, loving yourself as you are will help you navigate your journey to becoming the chic version of you. Remember, chicness is not just about appearance; it's a mindset!
