Investing In an IMAGE Consultant
Annette Bond, Personal Style Expert

Me: I’m really excited, I just bought a Peloton.

Response: “Nice! Wow, those are really expensive.”

We’ve all said it, or at least thought it when a good friend shares their excitement about something they’ve just bought or invested in.

Secretly you’re thinking, “I wish I could buy a Peloton.”

Is it affordability or is it worthiness?

I had a client bring this to my attention recently.

She shared; “Annette women need your help.”

  • They’re busy.

  • They can’t do it all.

  • They need help from a professional like yourself, on how to dress and represent their best self.

And you’re thinking, “Oh that’s ridiculous, I can dress myself.”

“Who am I kidding, I don’t need to pay someone to help me shop and style my outfits, I can do that myself.”

Truth, you don’t feel worthy of investing in a professional image consultant.

  • The guilt and shame of thinking you can’t dress yourself appropriately.

  • That’s not a good use of your money.

  • The truth is, you waste so much time trying to figure out where to shop.

  • Wasted mental energy trying to figure out what looks good on you since you’ve gained a few pounds and are getting older.

  • You’re winging it, you don’t have the time or talent to do it the way a professional would do it.

I get it, investing in yourself can be scary. “You’re asking yourself, are you worth it?”

Come on’ we women were born to shop. Wrong!

The hardest part, taking the first step to say YES to you.  Raising your deserve level.

After you make the commitment to invest in your image, the dominos begin to fall.

  • You realize the time you save by no longer needing to spend endless hours shopping.  

  • Money saved on shopping mistakes.

  • You feel this amazing peace and effortlessness when getting dressed every morning, you have the right pieces, the perfect colors, and styles for your body type.

  • The daily compliments that come your way.

  • And the ease you feel when packing for your next trip.

  • Everything mixes-and-matches. It’s now fun and easy vs. dread and painful.

Oh, and that expensive Peloton that I bought.

It has saved me hours upon hours of driving to the gym.

It gives me instant access to support my health and wellness.  

I have so much fun riding with the world class Peloton instructors.

Oh, and I’ve not paid that $150 gym membership every month for the last 4 years.

If you are tired of doing it alone and know that style and fashion are not your gifting and strength, and want some help. I’m here for you girlfriend.

Have You Lost Your Style Inspiration?
Create 14 outfits with only 7 pieces of clothing, Instantly

Have you lost your style inspiration?

You probably have great memories of an outfit you loved.

You felt great.

There were always compliments.

There was ease every time you wore it.

It was an outfit you could always count on.

Do you wonder what happened to those moments?

New moments creep in and we don’t even notice.

Maybe you gained a few pounds.

And the outfit didn’t fit as good as it once did.

New trends were out, and you second guess, did the outfit even look good anymore.

Maybe it was those around you. They started dressing more casually and you felt you needed to follow suit.  

You started listening to the world of what you should wear.

The salesperson was your new voice of style. (and she didn’t even know you, but you trusted her)

Maybe you were in a new place. A new job. Working from home now. Had a baby or retired.

It all happens moment by moment. And then one day you look into the mirror and wonder why you feel so frumpy and realize something is definitely “off.”

I came into your path, and you’re thinking YES, I need some style inspiration.

A style philosophy I embrace, “when you honor who you are, you will always feel comfortable in your clothing choices.”

Style begins with the woman, not the clothes.

Your strengths, your values, your uniqueness, your essence.

Begin this moment recognizing the beauty within.

We’ll talk soon.

Fashion Feng Shui

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!

How to Wear Your Sweater with 3 Levels of Style

Style recipe for how to coordinate your cardigan sweater + pants + shoes = Fabulous Outfit!

Are you a savvy woman who feels like you wear the same pant with the same sweater and the same shoe? All the time…

Does it feel like your outfit always looks the same for every occasion and you wish you knew how to change it up?

I’m going to teach you a simple concept that I call “Dress for Your Style Level.”

Style Tip #1

Let’s look at the pants in your closet.

  • Step One: Think of your pants in three different categories.

Level One: Sporty Casual – sporty, simple, inspired.

Level Two: Business Traditional – corporate, community.

Level Three: Fashion Forward - fun, edgy, stylish.

  • Step Two: What level is the event you’re attending?

Level 1, 2, or 3?

  • Step Three: Match the pant with the level of event.

  • Step Four: Shoes, you can choose the same level of pant or choose a shoe from a different level. (which by the way makes your outfit interesting and cool)

Think black patent shoes with your jeans. Yes, I give you permission.

One of my rules is that every piece I invite into my closet must be able to be worn in three ways.

Style Tip #2

Go into your closet and choose one of your FAVORITE cardigans or jackets.

  • Level One: Pair your sweater with your favorite jeans. I chose my black jeans. Now add a fabulous shoe.

  • Level Two: Pair your sweater with your little black dress. Add black tights and black booties.  

  • Level Three: Pair your sweater with a coated denim jean. Add a simple pop of color with a great fitting shell or tank. More drama – add a statement shoe.

Style Tip#3

  • Your ONE Sweater Cardigan is now a super star in the closet because it can be worn at least 3 ways and 3 levels.

  • YES! You can instantly change your style by swapping your shoes, jewelry, and adding pops of color.

  • Getting dressed with intention gives you the opportunity to express a part of you. It lets others “see you” from the inside out.

By being intentional, it allows you to have command of how others respond to you.

As you NOW show up confidently styled as you stand in your excellence.

You are invited to join me in the Private Style with Significance Facebook group for more engagement and FUN with other savvy women just like you! I have lots of extra special stylish things planned for you in 2023.

The Power of a Jacket

The Power of a Jacket

Are you someone who has some great jackets in your wardrobe?

Do you wear them ONE way, with ONE specific blouse?

I have a current client doing that. 

Or maybe you’re someone who has a black jacket and don’t tend to wear it much?

That is another client of mine.

Let’s talk about the Power of a JACKET and how it can elevate your wardrobe and personal style.

WHY Jackets?

  1. Jackets have a subliminal message 

I’m sure you know what I mean when you see a woman with a great jacket. 

You notice her. 

She looks professional. 

She’s pulled together and polished. 

She has personal style.

Maybe your mind goes to expert, she’s really good at what she does. 

  1. Jackets keep you warm

It could be that simple, you are looking for warmth. I get it, as I can be a cold body myself. 

Owning a neutral color jacket such as black or camel is a great investment piece that can serve as professional and warmth as well as show off your personal style.

  1. Style of Jacket 

This is where you need to begin thinking about your personal style, professional brand and lifestyle. 

How do you want your jacket to serve you? Meetings? Online? In-person?

Do you want it to be more traditional or dressy casual style?

A jacket that carries more authority or one that is more approachable?

Do you want creativity or edginess to be part of your personal style?

In Fashion Feng Shui, I talk about the Harmony of your Inner and Outer Presence. 

  • Finding a jacket that is Uniquely YOU

  • A jacket that is aligned with your personal professional brand

  • Making sure your jacket aligns with your personal style as well as your lifestyle

What does it take to feel good?

What does it take to feel good?

Something you may not know about me; my #1 value is my wellbeing. 

When I don’t feel good, life is mediocre, and just O.K.  

That is NOT how I want to feel. 

Are you an in-charge kind of woman in your professional and personal life?

“You are caring for your family, juggling a demanding career, caring for elderly relatives, and running households…and the price you pay is astronomical”, says Heather Dumas. 

And then you are trying to stay healthy?

It’s hard, I get it. 

Most of the time you’re feeling guilty when you squeeze in self-care or feel like you must sacrifice other parts of your life.

All you want… is to feel good.

You want that feeling of vitality. 

Energy to go do what you do best. 

You want to feel good in your clothes. 

You want to be excited when you go into your closet every morning. 

When you feel good, you look good, you feel better.  

You may be asking, “Annette how do I do that?”

Join me as I chat with my colleague Heather Dumas, Healthy Lifestyle Strategist. 

What I love about Heather is her approach to health. 

It’s holistic, the same approach I take to cultivating your personal style.

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.  

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

How-To Add ONE New Style Piece for Fall

How-To Add ONE New Style Piece for Fall

Fall is here. It’s time to get ready for the weather change as well as upcoming events. 

Have you given any forethought to what you might want to add to your fall wardrobe to support what’s next? 

Will you have in-person meetings over the next few months?

Are you traveling?

Do you have speaking engagements booked? 

Do you desire a dressy casual feel? 

More traditional business?

A lot of questions, I know. 

But when you can answer these questions, you can begin building an Intentional Wardrobe that serves you. 

Be deliberate with your purchases so that you will have the perfect outfit in a moment’s notice.   

One of the major Fall Trends is Oversized Jackets 

It’s a trend, so if an oversized jacket feels too much, opt for a style that fits your body type. 

The White Shirt

To accompany your beautiful new jacket, consider the wardrobe staple, The White Blouse or Shirt.  

  • Consider the fabric and how it fits underneath your jackets

  • How does it fall on your body

  • Do you want something more elegant, unique, or sportier?

  • Think of at least 3-ways you can incorporate your White Shirt or Blouse with other pieces in your wardrobe

Dressing with Intention

Dressing with Intention

Are you tired of feeling stressed every time you get dressed?

Do you find yourself digging through your stuffed closet every time you get ready for an important event?

Whether it’s a speaking engagement, leading an important meeting, or a fun barbecue with friends, do you end up with a pile of clothes on the floor?

Contemplating what to wear, again?

If only you had “that perfect outfit” at a moment’s notice.

Why does it matter, because you are amazing at what you, and you need to look the part. 

You want others to connect with you and see the “real you.”

Feeling confident when you walk out the door is important to you. 

You hate fussing with your clothes.

One of the processes I teach is called Dressing with Intention. 

Dressing with Intention

  1. It’s first having the awareness of how you want to be perceived

  2. A simple step, begin with ONE word 

  3. Powerful, edgy, graceful, confident…

  4. Look in your closet and identify one piece or style that aligns with how you want to be perceived 

  5. Try that piece on 

  6. Take a picture of yourself

  7. Does your outfit reflect that ONE word?

  8. NO? YES?

Now it’s time to begin accessing the clothing in your closet…what’s working, what is not. 

With your current lifestyle, what is always a struggle when getting dressed?

Are you upleveling how you show up and how you want to be perceived? 

You are evolving. That’s a good thing. 

I believe that when you dress with intention, you can walk out the door, forget about what you are wearing and go do what you do best with CONFIDENCE. 

Let’s talk.

Wearing colors that bring out your eyes

Wearing colors that bring out your eyes

Choosing “flattering colors” can be overwhelming and confusing.

Also, making sure the colors you choose feel authentic to you, right?

Color has a personality. I believe in being intentional when choosing your colors.

How would it feel to have “signature colors” that you know are 100% flattering, they are aligned with your personality type, and you can count on them to always feel amazing?

Quick style tip!

Begin by identifying the true color of your eyes.

To be the most objective possible, I recommend you to take a close-up picture of your eyes.

Are they just one color? Do they have several shades, like specs of yellow or amber? Maybe some green and blue?

While working with 100’s of women over the years, I find most women have multi-faceted colored eyes.

Once you identify your eye color, begin experimenting with one of those colors in a clothing piece.

Have fun!

What is Authentic Style?

What is Authentic Style?

The dictionary describes authentic as real, genuine, credible, trustworthy. 

Describing your authentic style can be difficult. 

I’m sure you’ve had those times when you’re in the dressing room, you look in the mirror, and love what you see, the outfit feels like you. 

The best feeling ever.  

You feel authentic. 

It’s time to identify what authenticity looks like for you. 

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

What to Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner?

What to Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner?

That is a question I ask myself. Do I want to dress up? Do I want to feel super-duper comfortable? Or is it going to be an attitude…it doesn’t matter if I am rocking a stylish outfit or not?

You may be asking yourself the same question.

Getting dressed can feel the same way as ‘dressing your thanksgiving table’.

Everyone approaches it very differently.

As I was pulling up my blank page to write, I decided to look in my vault of prior thanksgiving articles.

Something really cool came up that I wrote in 2016.

As I was reading it, I thought wow, I wrote this. I hope you glean as much as I enjoyed reflecting on my prior thoughts about image and style.

If you’ve been following me for a while, one thing I know for sure, image and style begin with you, not the clothes.

Many think of image and style as ONLY outer appearance.

Yes, I help you with outer appearance, but your outer appearance can only look as good as to what is going on in the inside of ‘how you think of yourself’.

My greatest joy is watching you get dressed and then look in the mirror and LOVE what you see.

1. That means there is a positive self-image going on.

2. When you LOVE what you see, your heart opens.

3. Your self-respect is expanding (something I totally value).

4. And a radiant smile reflecting back to you.

That’s what I want you to think about as you step into your closet and make your final decision on what to wear to Thanksgiving dinner.

I’m so thankful for the memory of my client Barbara who demonstrated that kind of joy.

Barbara told me she had finally given herself permission to feel beautiful, vibrant, and fabulous.

As she was reflecting on her reveal your radiance style journey she realized, she felt like a beautiful package that she couldn’t wait to be opened.

Barbara’s new elevated self-image is how I want EVERY woman to feel.

Now it’s your turn to feel like a beautiful gift.

So, what are you going to wear to Thanksgiving dinner?

1. A beautiful comfy sweater

2. Your favorite pair of jeans

3. A fun flirty dress

4. A gorgeous scarf

5. Edgy leather jacket

Using Color in Your Wardrobe to Influence and Elevate Your Personal Style

Are you someone who loves adding new color each season?

do you tend to stay with your few favorites that you can depend on?

Color definitely has a personality.

And there is no one right answer.

That is truly the beauty of color, you have the opportunity to use it as a tool in your branding as well as your wellbeing.

And that is exactly how the Pantone 2021-22 Fall/Winter colors were chosen this year.

You're going to find colors that you can use to embrace personal expression whether sensible or quirky, color that embrace calm and healing as well as express a rainbow of hope and joyfulness.

According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, “This season is offering a range of pragmatic hues infused with vivifying bright pops, and a plethora of possibilities that support our lifestyle of continual reinvention and convey a promise of reemergence.”
— Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute

How to Find the Perfect Fitting Pants

How to find the perfect fitting pants.

As a personal image consultant who has worked with 1000’s of women I have found that whether you are a size 2 or 22, pants can be difficult to fit.

I get it. Not all pants are created equal.

Before we continue to chat about fit, know that with Covid, shopping is different and it can be extremely difficult to find what you need with in-person shopping.

Shopping for clothes online has become our new norm.

As a professional stylist who now shops for her clients online 99% of the time, I am going to help you with my best personal styling tips and advice.

Something no one talks about when shopping for pants.

Personal Styling Advice Tip #1:

Decide on your preference. Do you know what styles and cuts look best on you? Are you aware of your body type and what styles flatter you? What styles make you feel most confident?

If you are a professional, powerful woman, knowing the answers to these questions will empower you to show up as the best version of you every time.

·       Straight

·       Wide leg

·       Boot cut

Personal Styling Advice Tip #3

Stop wasting time ordering pants and that are not going to fit you perfectly and give you the confident feel and look you deserve.

Remember just because a particular brand is the perfect fit for your friend Emily, doesn’t mean they are going to fit you perfectly.

Personal styling is unique to you.  

The goal is for you to love what you are wearing while feeling ultra-confident as a professional businesswoman.

When you have a strong self-image of how you are walking into the room or zoom room, others feel your self-esteem and success.

Style begins with the woman, not the clothes.
