 💌 Welcome to Issue #99 of The Conscious Edit!

So you've heard of personal style...

But what about SOUL style?

🔍 What would it mean to go deeper than how what we wear looks and interrogate how it feels?  

We often don't look at clothing beyond its aesthetic value, but what we wear can hold far more meaning beyond that.

And I think that recognizing the power of what we wear is one step closer to developing a deeper relationship with our closets and embracing a slow fashion mindset!

💫 I had the privilege of speaking with Kerry Wilde — the "soul stylist" for the season premiere episode of the Conscious Style Podcast.

It was a fascinating conversation! I had never heard someone speak about our style and what we adorn our bodies with quite like Kerry does.

🎙 The episode is available on all podcast apps, but I think you can really feel Kerry's contagious vibrant energy in the video version of the interview.

Now let's get into this week's recommendations...
