- Say no more often and treat publicity as maintenance, not a single life-changing event.
Style Clarity Comes From Constraints
- Alison felt lost after not shopping for two years and used a stylist to define her post-pregnancy style.
- She needed coherent press, everyday, and party looks that still felt like her.
Dress For The Work You’ll Do

- Avoid looks you couldn't realistically cook or work in on morning shows.
