You’re a simplifier, you love puzzles. You take the pieces of a project that would overwhelm anyone else and expertly create a smooth system.

In 2018 I took a quiz: What was my secret marketing power?

Do you ever learn some really cool, but never use it to its full advantage?

Yesterday I was learning more about brand personality and it occurred to me that I took the time back in 2018 to identify my brand personality, but I didn’t really know what to do with it all.

As I was listening and learning from a Brand Strategist, this week, my mind began to connect all the dots.

Just as I teach about aligning your clothing style with your brand because people make an impression of you in 7 seconds or less.

A Brand personality post is a way for my audience to get to know me better through my posts and not just my clothes.

You’re a simplifier, you love puzzles. You take the pieces of a project that would overwhelm anyone else and expertly create a smooth system.

This is so me. I love ease. Please don’t make it complicated. Which is exactly what I do for my clients in my signature style system.

As a personal style expert, learning how to express your style, let alone what is your style, can feel overwhelming.

For many it feels complicated, hard, and you constantly question yourself.

I’m in love with my style system. Taking women from the Power of You to Revealing Your Radiance in 7-style lessons.

Most recently, I opened the doors to Women of Definitive Style.

It’s a group style experience PLUS one-to-one private style consulting.

I love communities of fabulous women. I love hanging out with them. I love the camaraderie. I love connections and building relationships.

If you love the idea of creating a signature wardrobe that aligns with your brand personality.

With Your Definitive Style in Mind! ~ Annette

What If…Your Personal Style Expressed Uniquely YOU ?

If you knew you would not be judged, what would you wear?

What colors would you dare to wear?

Do you daydream about style you see in catalogs or IG and wonder if you could wear that?

You stop yourself.

And your mind goes into What If…

What if that style is too much?

What if style too bright?

What if you look like you’re trying too hard?

Isn’t it interesting how you get caught up in the What If.

“The What If”…is they. 

What are they going to think about my personal style if you wear that?

What if they don’t like the color you’re wearing?

What if you style the outfit as boring or dowdy?

What if you look fat?

How would it feel if you were true to YOU, a personal style that expressed uniquely you?

It’s not until you respect the authentic, unique you, that you will try something new. 

What would authentically you, look like?

New style. 

New color. 

New silhouette. 

New shoes. 

Life is too short to continue to question and doubt your sense of personal style.  

What If…you created a signature wardrobe that makes it feel so good to be YOU?

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.

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?

A brand photo shoot’s sole purpose isn’t to just capture beautiful photos, there is strategy behind the visuals. And Yes, we want you to ultimately have beautiful photos.

A brave new look.

A brand photo shoot is to help your business STAND OUT and thrive in your niche, further developing your brand presence and communicating a story.

We want to make sure your clothing choices are complimenting your brand and telling the story you are intending – creating brand harmony with you as a business woman.

7 Questions to consider when choosing your clothing pieces:

1.       Branding colors – what are the 2-4 colors you want to emphasize?

2.       What are 2-3 words you want others to feel about you when they see your pictures?

3.       Do you feel ultra-confident in your clothing choices? Did you know that fitted clothing always looks better on camera vs. a non-fitted look?

4.       How many wardrobe changes will you have?

5.       Do you need to purchase new pieces? With virtual shopping, making sure they arrive in plenty of time to review.

6.       Accessories – think about your favorite pieces and how they show up on camera.

7.       Shoes – will they be seen?

Your photoshoot needs to be on purpose. It is your brand. It is representative of you; it is your business card and how others perceive you.

You want to make sure your photoshoot pictures are capturing you at your BEST all while telling your story.

Step into your Excellence. Confidence. Self-worth. Reveal Your Radiance.

If you want helpful fashion advice to feel more beautiful, more confident and 100% aligned with your personal brand, have a conversation with a professional stylist.

Thank you to my client Theresa Callahan, Executive Coach at Managing for Performance and Founder of Retreat to Tuscany for allowing me to be part of her branding photoshoot team. (these pictures are my snapshots, can’t wait to see the finished product from Pinto Portrait in Issaquah, Washington.
