Need some style motivation? Make your personal pavement your red carpet!

It’s been a heady week around here. The Golden Globes started “awards season” and the men’s fall 14 fashion collections had their runway week in Milan, and the start of fashion show season…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been battling an annoying flu that had the audacity not to schedule itself when I had the time to lollygag at home. The nerve!

Hacking and schvitizng from fever makes the idea of red carpets & runways pretty far off from my real world here with the sniffles.

So why care about the runway? Why bother with the red carpet?

Because without inspiration we become dull. Without aspiration we become stagnant. Everyone needs a little zing to get their blood going.

It’s time to make your personal pavement your red carpet!

Whenever you present yourself you represent yourself (entrepreneurs, do you hear me?) so make it inspiring.

Make your personal pavement your red carpetHave your off days, have your escape days, and take the moments to open your eyes, to open your mind, to see what’s out there beyond your everyday sameness.

Use your down time to absorb what you need to navigate your up time.

You probably will never walk a red carpet (that sounds so much less exhausting to me) and may never buy runway outfits (well, maybe on sale) but you NEED to be YOUR KIND of red carpet runway ready.
