Your closet is an extension of who you are! Today, I sit down with Risa Kostas, fashion stylist and co-founder of the Rescue Kit Company, to pull back the curtain on the true power of style. We talk about how what we wear can directly impact our energy, our level of self-confidence, and the way we show up in the world. Risa also shares simple, cost-effective tips to work your self-expression muscle and upgrade your wardrobe–without breaking the bank. If you’re wondering how to level-up your current style or still figuring out what to wear to the Powerhouse Women Event (hint, hint), we’ve got you covered!
