Spring into Style: Co-Guest Speaker at Wine, Women, and Well-Being YYC
I’m stoked to be chatting with the gals at Wine, Women, and Well-Being YYC this Thursday March 24 at The Brownstone. It will be my first, in-person speaking gig since January 2020. Wow. That really hits.
What I’m looking forward to most is connecting with local women about personal style in a low key, easy breezy setting. While I love to be in huge groups, starting back in a more intimate setting - as I get my presenting feet back under me 26 months later - will be a nice reacquaintance.
I plan to chat about the impacts of that past couple years on ourselves and our style; what go-to items to grab now; and my tried tested and true method no matter what life throws at us. I’ll be sure to have an haute tip or two to heat up the room. My time will round out with ample space for questions and group sharing.

About This Event…
The past two years have been a rollercoaster. We’ll never be the same. And maybe your wardrobe won’t be either. Representing yourself through your clothing has never been more important to help you navigate your day, your mental health, and your personal brand. Sarah G. Schmidt is keen to share her transitional winter-to-spring wardrobe styling insights and “haute tips” on what items to consider wearing now to add some Spring into your step.
Adding to this are tips and tricks from confidence builder Kelly Jo Higgins! Learn all things skincare and makeup trends. Your ticket gets you a Lia Reese "GOLD" eye shadow palette (valued at $35), which we will learn how to use at its best!
