78) How To Dress For Your Best Self | Shakaila Forbes-Bell

Right now, are you dressing for the person you are, the person you fear, or the person you want to be? 

Not even sure how to answer that question? 

Today's guest — fashion psychologist Shakaila Forbes-Bell — is breaking it all down for us. Shakaila wrote the book Big Dress Energy and in this episode she's talking about how you can harness your own big dress energy and dress for your best self. 

We're also talking about:

• The chemical warfare we're up against when shopping
• How we can make more mindful purchasing decisions
• What the endowment effect is and how it can reduce fashion waste
• Plus how you can do a wardrobe ethnography

(P.S. Shakaila was on the show before too in episode 24 discussing the psychology behind what and why we buy!)
