How to Celebrate Your Success
Don’t use someone else’s success, someone else’s beauty, someone else’s accomplishments, someone’s else’s gifts or ideas, someone else’s opportunities against yourself. It’s easy to be happy for someone on the surface but then be harboring some jealousy or envy underneath, or maybe even resentment. Comparing to Others Success We live in a comparison world where we are constantly seeing our friends and family, news, and even people we don’t know well in groups or on social media platforms doing all kinds of things. The tendency can be to have thoughts like “that’s great for her, but I don’t have that opportunity.” Or “she is pretty so of course it works…
The Importance of Brainstorming
I’ve been taking a lot of time lately brainstorming where I want to go in my business and how to be more clear on what I am offering through my coaching. There’s sometimes a misconception that I function like a style consultant, just telling people what to wear. But really, what I love is helping people see their minds. Helping people see WHY they are making the choices they are. Helping people reach for what they are afraid they aren’t capable of. It goes so much deeper than clothing. It is about the whole lifestyle and WHO you are. It’s part of why I’m shifting my identity away from “style…
Skinny Clothes and Fat Clothes and Being Comfortable in Your Skin
I’m going to be a little bold here and say that we shouldn’t keep our skinny clothes or fat clothes in our closets. You know what I’m talking about and if you’re like me and many of my clients, you’ve had them lurking at the back of your closet, stuffed away for a while. And these clothes in a subtle way, keep us from feeling comfortable in our skin. It’s those clothes that are either just a little big, giving you a cushion for when your weight fluctuates. The “bloated” jeans, that are extra comfy but are kinda sloppy. The tiny sexy dress you’ve saved for when you FINALLY fit…
Leopard Patterned Midi Skirt Styled 6 Ways
I LOVED making this fun video! When I saw this maroon leopard patterned midi skirt at Ann Taylor Loft outlet, I knew I had to have it, even thought it is a little bit more wintery. One of my questions I ask myself when shopping, especially for statement pieces like this, is can I make at least 3 outfits from stuff I already have in my closet? If the answer is “no,” and I still really love it, is there something that could be added that I would be willing to purchase to complete the outfit? My first thought with this skirt was “I don’t know have anywhere or anything…
How to Style Clothes You Already Have
We’ve all been there. The dreaded open up my closet and have nothing to wear feeling. I’ve sat there staring at the clothes as if an outfit would magically put itself together for me! Or I’ve picked up the same tired pieces wondering how I can possibly look cute in that sweater that is 5 years old already. How has it already been 5 years since I’ve bought that thing?? It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the constant ads of the latest greatest thing. We are so inundated by marketing where ever we look. I am a big saver, although I do like to invest in good pieces and…
How Decluttering Can Lead to More Clarity
Clutter. We all probably have that one corner that piles up with random stuff. I know when I don’t spend time on the little things it starts to pile up. And it weighs on me. If I don’t have a good routine to help make sure the little piles of mail are sorted, or the dishes are done, life starts to feel out of control. Decluttering our physical world can actually lead to more mental clarity in life. The thing is, when we have clutter around our house, it makes things feel chaotic. At least for me, when I have clutter I feel like I don’t know where to start…
