Lacey Rene Studios The Art of Apparel | September 2016

If you follow me on Instagram (YAY!) and you’ll know exactly what I’m about to share! If not, I’d LOVE to be Insta friends!!!! (It’s a real thing. I promise!) You can follow me HERE! In July I attended an incredible conference with a sweet friend who is also a photographer in the KC area! We traveled to Denver to a conference called Creative at Heart. If you are a wedding planner, florist, photographer, calligrapher….or creative of ANY type, I’d highly recommend this conference!!!!! They pack in two days full of speakers that cover topics on just about everything you can imagine! I went in with an empty journal ready to be filled with practical tips of running my own business. (And let me tell you–I did just that!!! Still working through all my take aways!!!) But maybe more importantly I went in praying that God would show me the things that He has for me and that He would guide and direct the things that I was going to hear and filter then information for my business.

Well as I sat listening to one of the sessions, an idea started to form in my head. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became! Afterwards I snuck over to talk with the speaker–to bounce my idea off her, see her thoughts and get her feedback. Her response was overwhelmingly encouraging and began to water this little seed in my mind! When I got home I talked it through with Michael, used my parents as a sounding board and shared it with friends! Basically I talked to all those closest to me to get their feedback because I’ve learned there is so much wisdom in gaining different perspectives! So from that one moment at the Creative at Heart conference the Lacey Rene Studios Art of Apparel was born!!!

It is a place where I hope to give you inspiration for the everyday outfit, tips and tricks in combining pieces of clothing and creative motivation on how you can do it too!!! I will post one to two outfits a week on Instagram using the hashtag #LRStheartofapparel with an easy steps to help you style your wardrobe! I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t major in fashion, but with a background in Graphic Design and photography the creative, visionary, artistic side of me is alive and kickin! 😉 I don’t want is this to be a place where you feel like you have to go out and buy new clothes (because we already feel that pressure!), but I hope to inspire you to mix and match and use the articles of clothing you already own to create new ensembles! Then at the end of every month my goal is to write a blog with that months outfit combinations so you are able to see them all together!!! Plus, I know that for some seeing it in blog form is much easier than Instagram–so I wanted to be sure that I catered to both audiences! And I’m SO excited because there’s more to this idea……lots more….but I’m going to wait to reveal that!! 😉 (Suspense and surprise is everything-am I right?) So all that to say I hope you’ll follow along, I hope you’ll be motivated and inspired and I hope that we’ll connect along the way!!!!!
