Style from the Inside Out

Style from the Inside Out.

We’ve all had that feeling “I have nothing to wear” as you enter your closet.

It’s frustrating, especially when you’re getting ready for an important event.

It can feel very defeating, you want to look and feel like a million bucks, and nothing seems quite right.

And most times it’s as simple as loving what you see when you look at yourself in the mirror.

Recently, I have had several conversations with women about evolving and feeling more coherent with who you are and how you dress.

In my most recent masterclass, The Authentic You Wardrobe System, discover the 3 simple steps to finally feel like your outside matches your inside.

I asked the participants if they could relate to; finally feeling like your outside matches your inside. It was a resounding YES!

How does it resonate with you?

As I was thinking more about it for myself, I thought about my first job out of college.

I can remember being so eager and confident to land my first job. I was ready, I had a marketing and communication degree, and I couldn’t wait to utilize my expertise.

But then my bubble burst, I walked into my interview with Travelers Choice, an elegant family-owned boutique, filled with the most beautiful quality clothing.

I was wearing clothing from the Bon Marche Jr. department from my college days.

“What I noticed immediately is my outer appearance needed to catch up with how I was feeling on the inside…confident, eager, and ready to be a successful businesswoman.”

The journey began.

The clothing allowance I received and desire to be an exceptional businesswoman changed everything for me, as I began to try HER on.

Have you thought about what the next version of you looks like?

One of the things that makes me different...

“I believe your outward appearance should be the persona that represents the authentic you, from the inside out.”

For many, it’s a new concept. And it's exactly what I teach.

As you evolve from the inside, most times you don’t fully grasp how much transformation has gone on until you go to your closet, and realize…

You’ve changed. But your clothing has not.

Once you understand the authentic you, it’s time to create a signature style so that you can elegantly step into the fullness of YOU!

Is the time NOW for your outward appearance to catch up with your inside evolution?

Have you stepped into a new position with your career, and not feeling put-together is impacting your confidence?

Are you serving a new level of client, and you've also evolved as a businesswoman, and now your wardrobe needs to do the same?

Are you in the spotlight more, and want to make sure your style is revealing your confidence?

Have you gone through a divorce, and it’s time to step into the new you as you begin to put yourself out in the dating world?

Has your lifestyle changed, you're in a new place and you want your wardrobe to represent that?

My Vision: "A world where every woman embodies her "authentic style" revealing HER beauty and confidence from the inside out."

Why You Don't Wear 80% of Your Wardrobe?

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.

Getting Ready for Your Branding Photoshoot with a personal Image Consultant

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.
