    Athleisure with Erin Draper

    February 23, 2017fashion

    Hey ya’ll. Let me tell you about a woman named Erin Draper. She is a designer in Baltimore that is going beyond athleisure and creating clothing that feels good, looks good and takes careful thought in how a woman’s body moves.

    How the internet would work, one of the first blogging friends I ever made, Kristy, introduced us. Kristy’s always been on the cutting edge of fashion, design, and media, so I knew Erin had to be the bee’s knees. After chatting with her and learning more about her brand, it was obvious why! Erin has a design degree from Parsons School of Design in NYC and has bridged her aerial dance background with design to create something truly special.

    Erin’s pieces are designed to carry you through the various points of your day. Because I’m always running around, and nine out of ten times I am in stretchy pants (yes, I call them stretchy pants), I wanted a piece that would add a feminine touch, more so than my typical hoodie. The Clio Tunic in charcoal was the piece for me. It’s super transitional through seasons and here you can see that I layered mine with a long sleeve shirt. It might be 82 in Dallas today, but it sure isn’t here in Sacramento!

    And my tunic is super soft, too! Erin uses jersey, tencel and silk fabrics in her designs. They are so cozy, you may not want to get out of them. For real.

    There are times when I don’t wear stretchy pants during the week and put on real pants. I swear. Below is a perfect example of how my Clio tunic transitioned from running around to meeting up with friends.

    To enhance the flow of the blouse, I selected bootcut jeans as opposed to a skinny or boyfriend jean. They hug my curves in the right places and balance me out. I always feel that darker denim instantly polishes up an outfit, so the combination was a no-brainer.

    And of course, I had to throw a hat on it…

    #CoachingFromCancun is a thing. Well, it was two w #CoachingFromCancun is a thing. Well, it was two weeks ago! 👩🏾‍💻And I think we should go back (retreat anyone?). But let me tell you, while I mixed this time in during my week long vacation, being a digital nomad has been on my bucket list for a while. The “workcation” is real and I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t take away from the experience of unplugging and recharging. 

It’s a decision that I worked toward.

A decision that came from consistency, planning and a little bit of “what the heck?” The feeling of freedom that comes with a decision like that is fleeting. 

This is the kind of freedom and flexibility I promise to my clients.

The confidence and the clarity to build the business you want. 

Wanna work remotely in beautiful destinations? Awesome.

Wanna work only 20 hours a week and still be profitable? Let’s get the plan in motion.

Want to have a personal brand that opens doors that you didn’t even know were there? Yeah, they’re out there. Let’s find them!

The thing about it is — doing what everyone else is doing isn’t the path to get there. Blueprints are great and helpful, but it starts with the inner brand work as a creative professional!

Have you been wanting to explore what’s possible for your brand? I haven’t done this in a while, but I’m opening the books for three 1:1 strategy sessions before May wraps up. I feel the energy of possibility in the air and know you feel it, too. Let’s chat - send me a DM and I’ll share all the info.
