How do you let go of clothes that don’t fit and find joy in dressing for your today body? Dacy Gillespie has built her personal styling business around helping women to let go of body ideals and beauty culture and find their own personal style.
She joins us on the podcast to explore what happens in our body when we can feel our clothes digging in or open our wardrobes to see nothing that fits our body as it is today.
Dacy brings her experience of how she works with clients to understand their body story to bring out the needs and desires of how women truly want to dress when the rules and expectations are stripped away.
We delve into the frustration of finding size-inclusive clothing, accessing sustainable fashion, and rejecting the rules of fashion in a world that reinforces anti-fat bias.
About Dacy Gillespie
As a personal stylist, Dacy Gillespie intuitively guides her clients to discover what they feel best in. She helps them let go of the external messages they’ve been given about what they should wear and get to the heart of what’s making them uncomfortable about their clothes. Through their work building a functional wardrobe, Dacy’s clients make a mindset shift from thinking they need to wear what’s flattering to unapologetically taking up space in the world.
After a lifetime of jobs in high-stress careers that didn’t suit her highly-sensitive, introverted personality, Dacy started mindful closet in 2013 in an attempt to create a more emotionally sustainable lifestyle. She has two boys, ages 4 and 8, and a husband she adores who is well aware of her mental load.
