60🔸How to Know My Body Type? From Psychology to Fabric Choices

In this episode, I’m sharing something I discovered back when I was in university: an overlap between William Sheldon’s somatotypes and the 16 personality system, Myers-Briggs. In the 1940s, William Sheldon developed a system that categorized people into three basic body types: endomorphs, mesomorphs, and ectomorphs. I’ll explain how somatotype, or body contour line, informs fabric choices and how you can adapt your fabric choices to fit your preferences.

59🔸How Many Clothes Should a Woman Have in Her Wardrobe?

Most people have a vague sense of whether or not they have the right amount of clothes. In this episode, I’m explaining how you can know for sure.

58🔸 Got Mom Guilt? Dave Ramsey is Wrong! Here’s How to Budget for Clothes

Do you see spending on clothes for yourself as an indulgence? If you follow Dave Ramsey, that might be a logical conclusion. His EveryDollar budget percentages don’t even include a category for clothing! No wonder we are confused, and millions are suffering mom guilt! 
 
Welcome to Episode 58 of Signature Style Systems. In this episode, I’d like to propose shifting our thinking around clothing budgeting from either deprivation or indulgence to stewardship. Clothing clearly fits into the category of need. But clothing is also a means of communication. By what you wear, you are communicating who you are. Check out my online program, Your Visual Identity Journey, to begin creating a signature style that visually communicates who you really are to the world.
