The Simply May Method
A framework for intentional style and soulful living.
Where style becomes a language for living.
It’s not about what you wear — it’s about how it feels, how it moves through your day, and what it mirrors back to you.
Every outfit, every detail, every choice becomes an act of alignment.
This is the art of intentional dressing — rooted in awareness, elevated by imagination, and refined through rhythm.
The Philosophy
Style isn’t about more clothes — it’s about more connection.
How you get dressed is how you show up in the world.
Your wardrobe mirrors your energy, your rhythm, and your evolution.
The Simply May Method was created to bring meaning back to personal style — to turn dressing into a daily ritual of alignment, not anxiety.

The 4-Point Style Edit Method
Anchor · Play · Elevate · Essence
Reflect, explore, and refine your aesthetic with clarity and intention.
1. Anchor — Your Foundation
These are the reliable, grounding pieces you reach for over and over again.
Think silhouettes, colors, and fabrics that feel natural on your body and calming to your mind.
They are your visual comfort zone — your “everyday self.”
Ask yourself: What makes me feel most at home in my clothes?
2. Play — Your Creative Spark
This is where expression begins — joyful, unexpected, and personal.
Play reminds you that style is meant to be lived in, not perfected.
Ask yourself: What details or combinations light me up?
3. Elevate — Your Styling Polish
The subtle but intentional details that bring everything together.
Your finishing touches — the way you cuff a sleeve, layer a chain, or choose a scent.
Ask yourself: What quiet detail makes me feel complete?
4. Essence — Your Style Energy
This is the emotional thread that runs through it all — how you want to feel.
Essence is what people remember, and what makes your style unmistakably yours.
Ask yourself: What energy do I want to carry today?
The A·I·R. Method
A Daily Guide to Getting Dressed With Intention
Once you’ve defined your 4-Point Style Identity, you can begin using The A·I·R. Method — a simple, soulful framework that brings your style to life each day.
If your 4-Point Identity defines who you are, A·I·R. helps you express how you feel. It turns your style from a concept into a ritual — something you can return to each morning with ease and clarity.
Whether you’re dressing for school drop-off, a creative meeting, or a night out, A·I·R. helps you stay aligned, expressive, and flexible — rooted in your style without falling into a rut.
A = Anchor
Your anchor is your foundation for the day — the piece or mindset that grounds your outfit and sets the tone.
Examples:
A tailored blazer
A black turtleneck
Wide-leg pants
A favorite pair of jeans
Mentally anchoring into calm, grounded, or confident
Think of it as your outfit’s starting point — simple, repeatable, and familiar.
I = Intention
Your intention is how you want to feel today.
It’s the emotional cue behind your outfit — the energy that shapes your color, texture, or silhouette.
Examples:
Cozy
Elevated
Glamorous
Effortless
Feminine
Your intention keeps your style fluid and seasonal — shifting with your mood, setting, and rhythm of life.
R = Ripple
Your ripple is the unexpected accent that brings your outfit to life — the small detail that creates movement and personality.
Examples:
Sculptural jewelry
A metallic shoe
A pop of color in a neutral outfit
A red lip
Layered necklaces
A vintage handbag
Your ripple is what makes your outfit feel you. It invites experimentation within a grounded framework.
Why A·I·R. Works
Flexible: You can wear the same anchor every day but shift the intention and ripple.
Expressive: It honors how you feel and encourages creative play.
Grounded: It prevents decision fatigue by giving you a soft structure.
Aspirational: It bridges who you are today with where you want your style — and energy — to go.
The Practice
When you see style through this lens, it stops being about consumption — and starts being about curation.
You move from collecting clothes to crafting a visual language.
Each layer becomes intentional, personal, and peaceful.
This is where mindful living meets personal aesthetics — and where Simply May begins.
