The creative pragmatist is about finding ways to express what's going on in our lives that will tell people a little bit about who we are. The book doesn't talk at all about body shape it doesn't say anything about like you're an apple so you should wear blah blah blah or like your that you're petite so youshould wear this or you can't wear this and I really like that but i think it's rare in a style book because sometimes you want something that's prescriptive and the truth is when you feel good you look good.
Struggle with being a spiritual soul in a material world? Yet at the also same time, you’re dying to unleash the RuPaul within? We feel ya!
At Holisticism, we're firm believers in the transformative power of enclothed cognition, which is why we're diving into our favorite principles from The Creative Pragmatist, Amy Smilovic's eponymous book, which dissects personal style and affirms how it undeniably influences our day to day lived experience.
Amy Smilovic is the Creative Director and founder of Tibi, as well as the author and creator of The Creative Pragmatist book and philosohpy of personal style discovery.
