Signature Style Systems ~ Certified Personal Stylist, Image & Color Consultant, True Colour Expert
🔸Do you want to be able to show up for any event in your life feeling 100% like yourself? 🔸Are you sick of wondering why the outfits that look good on other people look or feel weird on you? 🔸Do you feel like you should already know how to create your own style? Like there was a cute girl outfit class that everyone else took but you didn’t know about? You know how most women are self-conscious about how they look? I was too! Now I have a process for discovering your Style DNA so you and I can look and feel like ourselves. Style DNA is my acronym and what this podcast is all about: 🔸D) your body’s DESIGN. This includes your silhouette, inherent color palette, and many other artistic characteristics that determine what looks best on you. (Physical form) 🔸(N) your NEEDS, based on your lifestyle, what life stage you are in, your roles, what industry you’re in, where you live geographically and climate-wise. (External elements) 🔸(A) your AESTHETIC. The vision of beauty that’s unique to you. What you like, and what you don’t like, and WHY. (Internal elements) Imagine being able to walk into a roomful of people, forget about what you are wearing, and just be who you are there to be. I believe when women are seen and valued for who they truly are, we will begin to see the transformation our world so desperately needs. My dream is universal flourishing. You not feeling self-conscious is the frosting; being kind to the planet is the sprinkles. Let’s connect! Get the wardrobe building jumpstart guide, The Wardrobe Pyramid: http://eepurl.com/hsNpHH.

"The movement in my wardrobe kind of translated to movement in my own life."
This profound insight from a participant in my recent style workshop shows that wardrobe changes aren't just superficial adjustments, they can be catalysts for meaningful personal growth.
In this episode, I explore how:
Removing clothes that no longer feel authentic creates space for growth in all areas of life
Choosing items that reflect your true self creates a virtuous cycle of authenticity
Understanding your personality type can guide wardrobe choices that support your development journey
The integration of your cognitive functions (like introverted/extraverted tendencies) can be expressed and supported through intentional style choices
As we approach midlife, we naturally begin integrating previously underdeveloped aspects of our personality. Your wardrobe can either hinder or accelerate this process. What have you noticed about the connection between your wardrobe changes and life changes? Has clearing your closet ever created unexpected momentum in other areas?

When my daughters were growing up, we developed a concept we called the "permanent wardrobe" - pieces we would always like and want to keep, even if just for special occasions. Today on the Signature Style Systems podcast episode 72, we'll explore how to identify and build your own collection of personal classics that truly last.
The percentage of classics in your wardrobe might depend on your personality type. One of my daughters has built an impressive collection of vintage dresses that perfectly suit her. As an ESTJ who manages a thrift store, she combines her love of history through Introverted Sensing with the playful exploration of Extraverted Intuition, selecting vintage pieces that match both her silhouette and color palette.
Here’s the thing: Creating your collection of personal classics is the bridge between timeless style and authentic self-expression.

Are you still wearing the same personal color palette you were given years ago? Most seasonal color analysts teach that your colors are fixed for life - but that doesn't match our lived experience. In this episode, I share my journey from being draped as an Autumn in the 1980s to discovering the vibrant colors that truly express who I am today. Learn why your personal color palette should evolve with you, how to recognize signs it's time for a change, and what specific life changes might signal the need for a color refresh. This episode will help you understand how to let your palette grow with you.
