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.

With your definitive style in mind.

How to Create a Signature Style

Recently I met a new client for coffee, and we began talking about her wardrobe and she told me, Annette, I have nothing in my closet.

Nothing.  Nothing fits. Nothing fits right. I go to my closet and try to pack for a trip, and I have nothing.

I wonder, have you ever felt like that?

What really is happening is, you’re done settling.

You are ready to take care of yourself in a more meaningful way.

And unlock your style potential by being MORE of YOU.

A wardrobe that has:

  • Uniqueness

  • Ease

  • Quality

  • Your look is pulled together

  • Perfect for the occasion

  • You are self-assured and radiate confident

You have elevated how you want to represent yourself.

It’s time to be INTENTIONAL and create a wardrobe that looks and feels TOTALLY You!

I refer to it as designing your Signature Wardrobe.

Creating a signature wardrobe that checks all the boxes MUST be intentional.

If not, it will become overwhelming.

What does a Signature Wardrobe look like?

A signature wardrobe should feel TOTALLY You. You look in the mirror and say, “oh my gosh, I love this.”

You feel self-assured and confident.

There's something about the look whether it's the style, color or a pattern.

Your style radiates confidence.

It’s TOTALLY YOU. And people comment, oh my gosh, that's so you.

10 Signature Styles

·       A signature color becomes your SIGNATURE.

·       A statement Red lipstick.

·       You’re in love with the drama of black and white.

·       One of my signature colors is pink. It just makes me feel vibrant.

·       A pattern that you love such as a leopard print.

·       You feel powerful in jackets.

·       You feel feminine in beautiful blouses.

·       You love the ease of dresses.

·       You love the natural Sporty girl look and feel.

There's a lot of elements that can go into a signature wardrobe.

Nobody signs their name like you do, that’s your signature style.

Is it unique to you.

It feels comfortable being you.

You don't have to apologize for who you are because it's your signature style.

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

·       Skinny

·       Crop pant

Instead of getting overwhelmed with ALL the silhouette choices, begin with one look.

Personal Styling Advice Tip #2

Think about your measurements. When was the last time you measured yourself? Get current measurements so that you can easily make choices when shopping online.

·       Waist

·       Rise -waist to crotch

·       Back rise

·       Hips

·       Thigh

·       Inseam

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.
