Last week, I celebrated my 54th birthday — and I have to say, I’m loving my 50s more than I ever expected. There’s a confidence and clarity that comes with this chapter of life. But there’s also a quiet shift that happens, often without us realizing it: The hidden style shift after 50 is real […]

Have you ever stood in front of your closet, feeling frustrated because nothing feels quite right? Maybe you’ve bought trendy pieces that look great in the store but don’t feel like “you” when you put them on. Or perhaps you’re stuck in a cycle of wearing the same few outfits because you’re unsure how to […]

Transformation from the Inside Out For a while now, I’ve been on a journey of deep reflection and change.

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?

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.
