Looking effortlessly cool in a jacket, jeans and jewelry has more to do with how we feel about ourselves than how much we spend on clothes and accessories. What we choose to put on each and every day is our ‘fashion statement’ whether we want to call it that or not. It tells people more than you might think. What does yours say? September is a good time to take a few steps in putting our best fashion foot forward. Here are some suggestions:

Are you feeling conflicted, overwhelmed or just have a general “lack of joy” as we call it in Chinese Medicine? Time to find a good therapist, counselor, spiritual director, or a trusted friend to discuss what is going on inside of you. Just talking about it allows one to see the problem with fresh eyes so they can take steps to untangle situations, relationships and head in healthier directions.

Is it time to start to eat better and/or lose or gain weight? Get some support. One of my patients has begun eating healthier using Fresh Direct so she can enjoy food that is good for her without have to think of shopping or planning at the end of a busy New York day. If you need to lose  5-10 lbs, check out this letter from gifted health and nutrition coach Frances Cheung:  “Dear Ambitious, Health Conscious Professional” at www.francescheung.com.

Make shopping fun. Start this week on Friday night for New York’s annual Fashion’s Night Out. There will bargains, entertainment, nightlife and lots to choose from all over the city. I will be headed to Nolita to see what’s cooking at Henry Lehr and Emmett McCarthy’s jewel of a boutique on Elizabeth Street where I hope to find a couple of pieces to enjoy throughout the fall and winter. Here is to a wardrobe that reflects a sound and healthy inner pride.
