Guest of Honor: Expressing Ourselves Through Style with Valerie Dittner

You might be wondering what fashion has to do with mental health. To that, I'd like you to think for a moment of when you put on your favorite outfit. Maybe it's your go-to t-shirt, the sneakers you are proud of, for me it's my yellow skirt. How do you feel? How do you walk through your day?

In this episode, Valerie Dittner and I explore how what we choose to wear (or not wear) has the ability to lift our moods. We also discuss how we can make sure that what we are wearing is an expression of ourselves. 

Valerie is a personal stylist and consultant, blogger, and fellow Houstonian. Over our Common Bond Bakery lunch, it was wonderful to connect with someone whom I’ve followed for years, been inspired by her style, and even learned a thing or two about Houston too.
