Hello,
       My name is Katie Mann

I established Intentionally Chic to offer expertise to empower women, especially mothers to rediscover their identity through style.  When my third child was still a baby, we relocated to a new state, and I had to leave behind a teaching career I adored. Despite being told I was too expensive to be hired due to my experience in the new state, I had to reinvent myself while caring for three young children.

 

Before my interview at Stitch Fix, I looked into my closet and felt lost. I realized I needed to discover my authentic style. I put in the effort and walked into that interview brimming with confidence. While at Stitch Fix, I saw my journey mirrored in the stories of countless women. This fueled my passion for educating and empowering women through fashion.

​

There are numerous competing demands on women today, particularly mothers, juggling home life, personal time, and work. Often, we invest so much in various responsibilities that we have little left for ourselves.

 

Many women struggle to find time to choose clothes that fit and reflect their true selves. Feeling good in our outfits boosts confidence, making us feel unstoppable. I have personally witnessed the positive impact this can have. A woman stands taller, finds the courage to connect with other moms at the playground, or feels more self-assured while presenting a new idea at work. The ripple effect is truly remarkable.

It all started...

...with a trip to Atlanta with two amazing friends of 25 years. I was in a state of transition but I knew a few things for sure. I love styling, I want to support women, and I want to leave a lasting impact on this world. But I wasn't sure how to act on those passions.

​

It was in a dressing room at a local boutique as I was giving each of them advice on the pieces they picked, when Becky looked at me and said, "This is what you should do. You've got the confidence and ability." She left it there, but it left a spark in my heart. I purchased a lovely ring holder (pictured here), and it has become the inspiration for Intentionally Chic. Sometimes you need your best friends to point you in the right direction and have your back through it all.
