Your Aesthetic Style (YAS)

“…but this is so much better!” 😆🙌🏽 This month’s Wednesday Wisdom* is inspired by a comment from a live online event I did on January 13th. Her comment nailed what Your Aesthetic Style is about & why it’s different! 🎯 In my talk, we did a home visualization exercise, instead of me giving furniture rearranging tips and it was a hit! Typically, when making a change to our home or outfits, the first thing we do is start researching tips, how to guides etc. We’re eager to know what to do & jump in...

Earth’s got challenges but they’re solvable #together, yas! Hi Reader :) Yun-A here with this month's Wednesday Wisdom & event invites as promised. But first a little background ;) An unexpected highlight of entrepreneurship is the daily discovery of obscure/niche problems I never knew existed AND businesses/nonprofits built to solve them. It never ceases to blow my mind!! It's also convinced me of this: A solution exists for every problem (regardless of how tiny or huge). The more pressing...

It took me two decades to wear yellow after my Grandma's nonchalant comment 'I don't like how yellow looks on you.' I was nine but it stuck with me... Hi Reader :) Yun-A here with this month's Wednesday Wisdom. Have you had an experience where someone said something that caused you to question your style? That's a style wound. Style wounds are part of why I created Your Aesthetic Style but I realized something earlier this month that connected the dots even deeper. 😲 In style wound moments,...

"...I can't fulfill the idea in my head.” Hi Reader :) It’s Yun-A here, if you can relate you might be overthinking your style - too much in your head & not trusting your eyes. And it’s totally understandable! Especially with items we already own, it’s hard to look at them objectively. There are feelings, memories, and energies attached to them - a history. I was recently recommended to join two interior design Q&A groups on Facebook. I’ve read questions about paint, wall decor, and room...

Hi Reader :) It’s Yun-A here. I read this Reddit post (see below) and it tugged at my heart. The writer deleted her account so I can’t respond. But what a relatable situation. It gave me the idea to write an email series of conversations guiding her to redesign the apartment she’s 'bored and depressed’ with into a beautiful space she loves. Would you be open to reading an email series like this over the next few days? _______________________ “Getting really bored and depressed about my...

Hi Reader :) This month's Wednesday Wisdom* isn't about my words, aside from a list of my October blog posts below. Instead I'm sharing an article written by someone who tried out my VIBE class and documented her experience. This article was published in the summer but it came to my mind as we transition to a colder weather season and it's very tempting to buy a new clothes. Maybe some of your items are looking worn or maybe you just want something new - whatever your reasons for wanting to...

Hi Reader :) When the season changes, shops loooove to remind us of new decor to buy. So this month’s Wednesday Wisdom* is a list of 4 cozy fall decor ideas that don’t require spending money. 1) Showcase everyday items that have fall colors. Maybe you have a few mugs that are orange, red, or yellow? Put them on display! Recently my son picked me a bouquet of wildflowers, I clipped the stems short and placed them in a teacup. It was a cute and fun autumn twist to a traditional vase. Or maybe...

...because I've got a list of recommendations for you! Hi Reader :) This month's Wednesday Wisdom* is an archive of articles I've written on how to get the most out of the clothes already in your closet. In March of this year, I became an associate style editor for a digital magazine called People Over Product, it's all about ways fashion can become sustainable. Writing for them has brought perspectives I don't normally think about, for instance, trends. That's a subject I don't typically...

Hi Reader :) Just popping in, as promised, to let you know that the VIBE class is up *finally*! As a thank you for being on my email list - you get first access to it with no need to sign up ;) Watch the VIBE class now Curious what the big deal is about this VIBE class? In a nutshell, it's two things: 1) A FUN way to experience the perspective shift used to redesign anything 2) Shows the expansiveness of aesthetic style and how I teach it in YAS Stylists Enjoy! And I'd LOVE to see a photo of...

Hi Reader :) I only learned about it recently...and now September is almost over ha! But the concept is worthwhile anytime of year ;) I love the intention of a month focused on shopping secondhand...it sparked this month's nugget of wisdom.* Rather than talk about shopping tips... I'll share a few tips for letting go of items in your home. When I first started decluttering, getting stuff out of my house to a donation center was hard enough *phew*. Later as my business got more involved in...
