Passion for Fashion - Episode 8
Helping women feel (and look) beautiful is Deborah’s joy. It truly brings her happiness as you will find out while listening to our conversation. It’s what energizes her and she is following her passion. (Something we should all be doing.) She has made friends all over the world and hopes to meet them one day. For now we have her on the internet with her zeal for sharing what she knows, and learns, about how an outfit is more than just a set of clothes you put on.
Yes, you will notice some squeaks as you listen to the interview. I’m still taking that crash-course in sound editing! Working on normalizing volume too. :)
Fashion is about something that comes from within you.

YOU are the Canvas
Thoughts from Passion for Fashion
The outside does do something to the inside. (Not for everybody, not every day but the potential is there and this is true for most of us.) You can see this start at an early age with little girls and their dress-up dresses. They love to twirl and to be acknowledged for being pretty, beautiful, or I prefer to think of it as captivating. Yes, society’s expectations do add to that but I think we also come this way. Why not let the canvas that is your body express who you are?
I love that Deborah’s various life experiences have led her to what she is doing now, so interconnected and woven together. I love seeing how God has used every role she’s had to bring her to today. You can hear she is loving it! And isn’t that contagious? I pray you find your own passion, a way to express yourself that is of value to you, and to others.
For me Deborah is the blonde Audrey Hepburn: one-of-a-kind, elegant, stylish, radiant, a natural beauty that begins from the inside and continues through to whatever outfit she has on whether it be a ball gown with jewels, the little black dress, or capri pants with ballet flats. Audrey rocked those looks and so does Deborah. And I think that is part of the point. You have many facets to your personality and you get to express them all. So get cracking. Don’t let fear stop you from being you. Ever. Without apology.
The joy of dressing is an art.
