The siblings Kree and Keith’s take on style and their business made it sound approachable. During their zoom conference it was clear to see how they genuinely enjoy their work and craft, and how style is oftentimes a non-verbal conversation with the World, given that it’s how we are perceived, both externally and internally. Personally, it blew my mind to hear that there’s people that will pay thousands for somebody to style them, and how it is essentially delegating the tasks that do not require to be a priority for their customer. I think we all do that, in big or small scales, some more often than others. Usually those who delegate more, have more resources.
I wish I could point out which one of the siblings shared that they have struggled with depression for a while, and I felt identified. It oftentimes seems like everybody is better than you are (emotionally) and that there’s just something wrong with me because I feel an unbearable amount of sadness that I can’t seem to shake off. They seem to have it all, the success, the perks, the secondhand fame, the friends, connections, and they still are humans with unfulfilled emotional needs, and it made me feel less alone, less of a freak and more normal. I must admit that I also feel out of touch with fashion, like I’m not the fabulous woman I wish I could be, so it was refreshing to see them with their bold outfits and huge smiles interacting with all of us, even from a screen.
They just said yes. They just said yes to styling people regardless of the pay, and even though in part it wasn’t because they knew better, they still managed to bring their very best to the table and get customers via word of mouth and nourishing friendships, and that made me think about how it’s so common that out of fear, maybe of getting out of our comfort zone, we say no to the different opportunities that we get presented with every day. They just said yes, and stood true to themselves, which is what led them to gain one customer after the other.
