Slater said we need to ask ourselves how we can help people in a real way in this visual world.

Keep asking yourself how to keep yourself in the equation when it comes to your social media presence and your business.
Our social media feed is mobbed with “fashion influencers,” many of whom look the same. Instead, she has remained open to fashion shifts, and she has embraced the ones that work for her. She is not firmly rooted on a worn-out list of fashion rules. Slater has no doubt seen many changes in what is acceptable to wear to work and to school during her career. Slater was asked by an image consultant in the audience about creating a movement to dress up, she responded that she would open a conversation with a group of young people with two questions: What does dressing up mean to you, and what does it look like? By inviting them into the dialog, you are opening the door to a new palette of choices. However, when you adopt a grateful, thankful view on aging, you start to focus a lot less on what you no longer have and a lot more on what you do and all the wonderful things to come! Rock every single day of your life with a grateful heart. Yes, things sag, creep, creak and crease as we age. Receiving another day of life is the best gift. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to choose the “glass half full” viewpoint on aging! Most of us reading this post have lost a loved one or a special friend far too young. Those with a negative view of aging remove 7-1/2 years from their lives versus those with a positive view who add 7-1/2 years to their lives. It could be the start of your next chapter. Try something new or attempt something completely outside of your field as she did. On Instagram alone, IconAccidental has 659,000 followers, which has grown organically. When she could not find a blog that addressed the intelligent, urban, modern women who lead “interesting but ordinary lives,” she launched Accidental Icon. However, she had been receiving encouragements to start one. Slater was not looking to start a fashion blog. While she loves fashion and has her own distinct style, Dr. Slater’s career has focused on social welfare and justice, and she has most recently been serving as a professor at Fordham School of Social Service and adjunct professor at Fordham University School of Law. She was most gracious and kind, and here is what I took away from her talk: I also nabbed a quick photo (shown here). I must admit, when I saw her sitting up front before she spoke, I went to say hello to her. Lyn Slater, PhD., also known by her blog name, Accidental Icon, was our opening keynote speaker. Each time I attend conference, I am re-invigorated, and I learn many things I can use in my business. Almost three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a conference in Chicago for the Association of Image Consultants International (“AICI”).
