Amplify Your Unique Style with Fashion Feng Shui

Do you find yourself being wishy washy when trying to decide if something looks good on you?

Have you noticed you need validation from the salesperson, your husband, your girlfriend if you outfit looks great?

What If…you could have a more planned and authentic approach to your wardrobe and image, helping you identify your unique style?

  • A wardrobe you LOVED.

  • And know you are rocking your look with 100% authenticity.

Years ago I was trained through a style system called Fashion Feng Shui.

Dressing the whole YOU from the inside out.

I’ve always believed that Style begins with the woman, not the clothes.

When you begin understanding the power of YOU, your strengths, your values, you will begin owning your unique style.

Through Fashion Feng Shui, you will begin to understand the whys…why you love drama, why you love simple, why you, love unique, why you love traditional.

It is a blueprint to teach you how to align with the authentic YOU - from the inside out.

What does dressing from the inside-out mean?

  • It means honoring your inner beauty

  • Honoring your strengths

  • Your values

  • Your essence

When I learned about this, I fell in love with Fashion Feng Shui.

Wouldn’t you love to combine your personality strengths with your Style?

  • I learned WHY I’m so picky with how my clothing fits

  • I learned WHY I love pink so much

  • I learned WHY I love feeling put-together

If you are a woman who is smart and successful but style hasn’t always been on the front burner.

I get you, I work with lots of women just like you to combine your magnificents with your personal style.

It’s fascinating and sooo much FUN!

What If…Your Personal Style Expressed Uniquely YOU

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.

Essential Ingredients to Elevate Your Style Confidence Part 4: Self-Acceptance

Essential Ingredients to Elevate Your Confidence, Part 4 of 5 Parts series: Self-Acceptance.

Have you caught your self being critical about your image, maybe more than you should?

Saying things like, “I don’t like my arms, I’m having a bad hair day, I hate my middle section?”

What if you began to focus on what you do like about yourself?

In business we talk say, “what you focus on, expands.”

Let’s chat about self-acceptance, I know it feels like a big emotional word.

In simple terms, it is, accepting you as you are.

Recognizing your strengths.

Self-acceptance is one of the most essential ingredients to elevating your confidence and letting your radiance be revealed.  

Love to invite you to be part of my private Facebook Group: Style with Significance where we can continue our conversation.

Essential Ingredients to Elevate Your Style Confidence Part 3: Quality

Do you ever question the fit or quality of your clothing style?

Wondering if you’re truly stepping into your excellence?

When looking at the way a garment fits, quality is an attribute you need to take into consideration.

Most times, the higher the quality the better the fit.

Have you ever bought a pair of workout leggings at Ross or Target and thought they were, OK?

Then you purchased a pair of workout leggings at Lululemon and thought OMG these are the best fitting leggings I’ve ever had.

I have. You don’t think there is going to be a difference even though the style looks exactly the same, but there is.

The quality of the fabric can reflect how your clothing fits, how it hangs on your body, and the way it feels.

If you’re like me, I love my clothing to feel like it was custom made for me.

Many times, there are two camps of women; the camp that says, it is good enough. And the second camp who values quality, luxury, and refinement in her clothing.

I believe, those who say this is good enough have never given themselves the permission to experience the kind of quality I’m talking about.

Let’s look at a pair of pants.

You purchase a $79 pair of pants and after a few machine washings they don’t fit as well, they lose their shape, they are baggy in the butt, and now the fit and quality is compromised.

The pant hangs in your closet. And you’re not sure why you don’t wear them.

What if you decided to raise your standards and invested in better quality clothing?

Let’s talk RIO.

For example, you purchase a $300 pair of pants, wear them 1X a week, 48X a year…turns out that every time you wear the higher quality, better fitting pant, you invested $6.25 every time you wore them.

Is it worth it?

Heck yes, the pants made you feel like a million bucks.

That is priceless in my opinion.

The next time you’re thinking about confidence or style confidence, think about the quality of the pieces you’re investing in.

If you’re new to this, begin by investing in ONE piece that allows you to feel like a million bucks.

This is about fit, how the fabric feels against your body, and the way the style adapts to your body type.

Something that may have never occurred to you; your non-verbal confidence oozes when you walk into a room.

You are experiencing your clothing supporting you to step into your excellence.

Do You Question if You’re Too Old to Pull-off a Certain Style Look?

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.
