3 Experiences When I've Been Brave & Bold

Lindsey Clawson Photography

Besides my bold lip color and neckline, this post is sharing some of my boldest, bravest decisions this past year. I was inspired to write this post after watching a TED video by Reshma Saujani, “Teach girls bravery, not perfection”. Reshma Saujani shares her journey of running in the New York City congressional race and calls women and girls to be brave, not to be perfect. Too often, we feel like we have to show the world that we’re doing well in every aspects of our lives. When in reality we’re balancing competing priorities, experience career changes, and working on our relationships with our families and friends.

 As a style blogger, I feel I have a platform to give you fashion ideas. As a woman, I feel I have a platform to share my experiences of bravery and boldness. These experiences are times when I’ve felt vulnerable and insecure.  It’s also these experiences that have helped me grow this past year.

The Ravenna Woods x AEO

For my first Holiday Look for AEO, I want to take you to an escape in the Northwest. An escape to one of my favorite places in Seattle. This place is between busy streets and people’s schedules and agendas. This place is where I feel whole and everlasting as the evergreens. This place is where I breathe effortlessly and I find moments of clarity as I walk beneath the bridge and alongside the stream. This place is the Ravenna Woods.
