Feel Good Fall Series

Did you know that statistics say, you only wear 20% of your wardrobe?

Which means you’re not wearing 80% of your wardrobe.

Have you ever thought about why don’t you don’t wear 80%?

Do you buy pieces that are just, o.k.?

You get home and think, it’s not great, but it is fine?

And then something happens in your mind when you go to reach for that piece, right?

It feels o.k. but most definitely NOT empowering, beautiful, or confident.

At the time, it didn’t really feel important what you purchased.

You just needed something to wear to your upcoming event and needed feel fine and good.

Or maybe you’re someone who buys unconsciously, not really having a reason for purchasing it.

You’ve been conditioned to think that if you bought more stuff, then you will be satisfied.

What would it feel like to LOVE your wardrobe?

I believe it’s about quality and not quantity.

In the Reveal Your Radiance Style Academy, there is an exercise called the Mini-wardrobe Audit.

1.       Identify the pieces you love and wear all the time.

2.       What are the pieces you love but don’t wear?

3.       What are the pieces you should love but don’t wear?

Identify why you DON’T love those pieces, so that you don’t keep repeating the same buying mistakes over and over.

1.       Is it the fit?

2.       The gaping button down shirt?

3.       The color?

4.       Was it an unconscious purchase because you wanted something new?

Style awareness, begin identifying why don’t you love certain pieces.

You are a powerful, confident woman who deserves to have an empowering wardrobe that lives inside your closet, I refer to as, your personal boutique.

Wondering, am I too old to wear that, is that too young for me, can I pull it off?

Another birthday, brings a bigger number and often we question, is that age appropriate?

I’m addressing this question because I just celebrated my birthday.

Instead of focusing on age, what if you tried on something NEW and you felt beautiful and elegant?

Maybe you have told yourself that younger is better?

Begin that conversation in your head with self-acceptance.

Guess what, you’re never going to be younger than you are today.

What if...the color was perfect, you loved how it felt on your body, and it fit like a dream?

What if…you felt more empowered?

As a personal image consultant who helps women with their personal styling and creating authentic confident looks, one thing I know for sure….

Style begins with the woman, not the clothes.

Wear colors and prints that make you feel alive.

Choose styles that make you feel current.

Try a new lip color or gloss.

Stand out and be noticed. I give you permission.

Get outside your comfort zone and try something NEW, have fun.

Look in the mirror, and you will see how young at heart you really are.

I have nothing to wear, have you ever said that to yourself?

But we all know you have a closet full of clothes, right?

Maybe the better question to ask yourself, why don’t you LOVE the garment?

One of things I hear from women frequently is; finding clothes that FIT.

Finding clothes that fit your body as it changes with age.

Maybe your weight has fluctuated.

You bought the garment on a whim because you wanted something new, but later realized it was not quite right, and you have never worn it again?

You gave in to the notion that it was an OK fit, and went with it, because you couldn’t find something that felt customized to your body type?

It is baggy in certain areas.

Maybe it’s too short or too long?

You just don’t love it. I hear you.

I believe, nothing is worse than having a wardrobe that doesn’t fit properly.

Every time you put the piece on, you feel just OK vs. the confidence you were craving.

What if…you began asking yourself every time you decided to make a purchase, do I love this?

What if…you began looking at your clothing choices with a more critical eye and asking yourself, does this align with how I want to show up?

What if…you began giving yourself permission to let go of pieces that didn’t empower you to step into your excellence?

Is it time to ‘try on’ the best version of you?

You may think of the word strategy as business related or the serious stuff in life.

We’re talking style, right? Yes.

For some, you identify with the word strategic, that’s how you operate best, and others may think it feels so masculine to combine it with personal style.

You may feel style is presumed to be fun, fashionable and personal, certainly not strategic.

Have you ever had an experience that you couldn't stop looking at the presenters clothing and wondering, "what were they thinking”?

I believe most businesswomen have a closet full of clothes they never wear because they don’t have a style strategy.   

A strategy is your approach.

If you want a wardrobe that is aligned with your personal brand, you need to be strategic.

If you want to get noticed in 7 seconds or less as a powerful woman, you need to be strategic.  

If you want others to listen to you as a thought leader, you need to be strategic.

Agreed, choosing clothes for the next level version of YOU can be....

·        overwhelming

·        lots of second guessing

·        wasted mental energy

Is it time to ‘try on’ and create your personal Style Strategy?

Are you ready to take this to a deeper level and truly understand what it looks like to have a Style Strategy?

You are invited to the upcoming Style Strategy and Confidence Masterclass on Wednesday, May 26th @ 1pm PST

Strong Women Advice from My Mother

How to be confident can sometimes be a very abstract thought or concept.

You can read books.

Seek advice from other confident women.

Step outside your comfort zone to try new things.

Or maybe you are seeking competence in a particular area of life, and confidence is a natural aftereffect.

If you’re like me, confidence in whatever area of life is something we’re all looking to embody and improve.

With Mother’s Day upon us, I wanted to honor my mother who I only had for 48 years of my life.

My most memorable years were in my teens. She was trying to teach me things that I wasn’t always 100% on board with.

But I listened anyways.

It wasn’t until I was an adult that I appreciated the “strong woman advice” she was teaching me.

Honestly, I’m not really sure that elevating my confidence was the goal she set out to accomplish, but in the journey of her motherly love to help me be the best version of me, confidence was achieved.  

In my vlog, I share the three memorable virtues that I lovingly refer to as, “strong women advice.”

My mother’s strong women guidance is not just helpful advice, but is a gateway to healthy self-esteem, self-love, and being the BEST version of you.

1.       The Golden Rule, treat others the way you would like to be treated.

2.       Believe in Yourself, you can do anything you set your mind to.

3.       Show up as the BEST version of you. Mentally and physically.

As a personal image consultant who helps women with their personal styling and creating confident looks, one thing I know for sure….

Confidence is Attractive
