Jessica invited me into her beautiful, bright and airy Saanich Peninsula home to chat about her unique style and how it plays into her life as a woman balancing career and a young family.
Jessica says fashion and style have always provided her with a creative outlet 91裸聊视频� from putting together outfits as a young girl to having a style blog as a young woman. Now Jessica is thankful to have a career where she can dress up.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 lucky that I work somewhere where I get to dress nicely 91裸聊视频� so it is still kind of my creative outlet.91裸聊视频�
I ask Jessica, now 34, what is the best life lesson she has learned since age 30.
91裸聊视频淚t would be the art of listening 91裸聊视频� and that will always be a work in progress. I really like the people part of my job, hearing people91裸聊视频檚 stories, sitting down with clients, getting to know them and hearing what their goals are. Listening and patience are a huge part of my success in business and in all my relationships.91裸聊视频�
As she is the mother of two young children, I wonder how her style has changed in this phase of her life.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 now definitely an accessories person; maybe I91裸聊视频檝e graduated to that by having small children. I think that when you don91裸聊视频檛 have a lot of time to get ready in the morning, if you put on a cool pair of glasses, a nice coat and a good pair of shoes, you will look put together.91裸聊视频�
