Engage! This is the Key to Staying Stylishly Relevant

Imagine effortlessly turning heads, making a statement, and radiating confidence wherever you go. It's all within your reach, and it begins with one simple concept: You MUST stay engaged. Let's talk about style for a minute. Style is a constantly evolving, living, ever-changing thing. Style is also language. It is instant communication. Before you open your mouth, as you approach someone, what do they notice when you do this? They see your body language, how you hold yourself. They see your face, your hair, and they see what you are wearing. From these simple things, an initial impression is made about you. Like it or not, it is FACT. Every single time you walk out the door and are seen by a person, you are communicating SOMETHING. Are you communicating who you are in a way that you are comfortable and happy with? Let's explore for a moment style as a language . We all bring our own personality, life experiences, and unique views into our style. You and I could ...

Why Your WFH Style is Killing Your Career

 What do you wear when you wake up and go to work these days?  For many women,  at least half of the days each week are spent inside of a home office (or kitchen table, kitchen counter, bed, etc.).  It makes it REALLY easy to just roll out of bed, get kids out the door, and sit down in front of the computer.   If this is you, I'm pretty sure you haven't considered the very real impact that this has on your mindset, your energy, the voice you are speaking, and even the way in which you think.  I will go so far as to say that if you are trying to get a promotion at work and you aren't considering the clothes you put on your body even when you are working from home, you will be less likely to be considered for the promotion.

Stop Wasting Money & Create NEW with the Pieces You Already Own!

How many times have you walked in your closet and looked at all of the clothes and thought, "Today I am going to wear something new" but after about 10 minutes of trying to put together a new outfit, you just gave up and put on one of your "tried and true" outfits? This is a common problem.  Between living a busy life, not allowing ourselves enough time to be creative in our closet each morning, and not understanding the rules of style, the closet becomes a place of frustration for women.   Many times there is also a lot of guilt women have inside their closet because they see that their closets are full of clothes, but they only wear a fraction of them.  In fact, studies have shown that women wear only 20% of their closet 80% of the time.  This leads to feeling very stale in their style.  As a Style Coach™, I help guide women to create a wardrobe that they love by working with them to strategically identify their vision and to learn what to look for and ho...

Invest in YOU: It's Time to Show Up for Yourself

 We live in an increasingly busy world.  It's a BIT subjective based upon what cycle of life you are living (with young kids, older kids, empty nester), but in a post-pandemic world things have really picked up in terms of what is on our list of "to do's". As women, specifically, what tends to happen in all of this busy-ness is that we put ourselves LAST.  By nature, women are nurturers.  We nurture and make sure our family and friends are taken care of and most of the time, that leaves no time, energy, or monetary investment for ourselves.  However,  doing such compassionate acts for others leaves you vulnerable to depression, illness, and a lower self-worth.  In the end, when you don't take care of yourself, you are at risk of putting yourself into a situation where you can take care of and help absolutely no one! Put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others Truth!  If you have ever been on an airplane, you have heard them say this du...
