Why you feel uninspired with your current wardrobe, and it doesn’t feel like you have anything to wear.

There are times when you go to your closet, and everything seems “old” and it’s missing the pizazz you think you want at the moment.

I get it – it happens to all of us. Some days it just feels hard to get dressed.

Recently, I had a gal reach out and ask about what she should wear to an upcoming business event.  

She wanted it to be put together, with a great first impression, and most importantly stylish.

And she didn’t want to dress like the 30-year-olds she was seeing in the fashion images.

She wanted to look on-point with her style but didn’t want to wear the off-the-shoulder look, or show her tummy, or the super dramatic flair leg pants.

If you are a woman in your 40’s, 50’s, or 60’s and all you see is the young models in their 20’s wearing the styles that are on-point, it’s confusing.

1. You’re wondering, can you pull that off?

2. Should you be wearing the latest on-trend styles?

3. Does it look appropriate for your age?

I get it.

Sometimes you’re looking for rules or right or wrong.

When you’re struggling to dress yourself, it’s easy to get caught in the trap of looking to others to see “how” you should dress.

My specialty is helping you look at personal style from a lens of AUTHENTICITY. 

Honoring who you are, the real you.

If you are a woman who loves classic and timeless styling, you’re probably someone who isn’t drawn to the off-the-shoulder or tummy showing tops.

Honor that. Don’t get drawn into styles that don’t represent the AUTHENTIC you.

It’s so easy to look at all the shiny new styles for the season and wonder what to purchase, and then decide if it’s AUTHENTICALLY you.

You may be a classy lady who loves a little sexy in your wardrobe. The off-the-shoulder style is perfect for you.

You may a creative woman who loves the dramatic flair leg pant. Embrace it. Wear it.

Instead of looking at age appropriate or what everyone else is wearing, begin looking from the lens of what is AUTHENTIC to you.

1. Add one on-trend piece. Style it with your existing pieces in your closet.

2. Understanding your personal style is part of being a confident woman.

3. Give yourself permission to dress and feel AUTHENTICALLY you - whether that is creatively, sporty, wild and sassy, traditional, or a simple polished style.

Own Your Style. Love Your Wardrobe. Be Your Best Self.

With Your Definitive Style in Mind,

❤️Annette

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.

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
