Look, I know you’re not new to getting dressed, but sometimes when you delve deeply into daily life you realize that you may not have that final piece of the puzzle.  You feel like you have a style, you know your shape but it’s still not 100% YOU.   Next thing you know, you’re going on […]

The coronation of King Charles is going to be an amazing event and one I cannot wait to watch! Friends, you know I am dressing up for it!!

Without knowing how to pick the perfect dress as you hit midlife, you won’t be able to feel comfortable in any of the ones you have in your closet. Instead, you will continue to change into a pair of pants you feel more comfortable in and set the dress aside for “ next time”.

For years now, we’ve been hearing that you may have a muffin top. I just received another email from a client about how she had nothing to wear but didn’t want to get anything new until she lost her “muffin top”. Since everyone knows what a “muffin top” is referring to, it must be true. Right?
Uhh… no.
I think it’s easy for most of us to take a flaw in what we are wearing and automatically assume it’s our body. But let’s really look at this issue from a place of truth and objectivity. Not only does one specific style not work for everyone, but holding on to “ I am ___ size” and only picking up items in a certain size can be causing this issue as well.
It seems to me that you can spend a lot of time feeling frustrated or feeling like a failure because you have a closet full of items that aren’t working for you when you’re not the problem!
I know because back when I was training as a Personal Stylist, I was taking a class in Body Shape Analysis. I really didn’t think it was going to be much, sure I am a Pear shape ( I hate the fruit analogies!) but this class was so much more. This class dug in deep, I mean like weeks deep into this subject and I completely understand why!
In fact, this is such a key component to dressing with ease, so saving time and money, that it is one of the foundational pillars of my transformational services, Modern Midlife Women’s Style Guide.

Why? Knowing your body shape is a key foundational principle to having great style that saves you TIME and MONEY.

The secret’s out!
One of the top trends this Spring Season is the white button down. This classic is never out of style but it is having a moment and is EVERYWHERE!! With so many styles of this seemingly simple shirt how do you know how to pick the right one?
