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.

Ever been told you can't wear black because you're "low contrast"? In this episode, I debunk the biggest myths about value contrast in personal style and reveal why understanding your natural contrast level might be even more important than knowing your color season. Learn how to identify your unique value pattern and use it to create outfits that naturally harmonize with your appearance. Plus, discover special strategies for those with "touch of contrast" features like light coloring with dark eyes. Understanding and replicating your natural value contrast level is the most powerful styling technique for letting your natural beauty shine through regardless of color choices.

Most people think your best colors are determined solely by your physical features, but a truly authentic personal color palette must honor both your natural coloring and your unique energy.
In Episode 82 of Signature Style Systems, I share why color analysts sometimes completely disagree about your "best colors" and what this means for finding your authentic personal color palette. I reveal my own experiences with conflicting color analysis over the years, explain the fundamental difference between color analysts and color designers, and uncover the missing element that most traditional systems overlook: your energy. Your best colors come from harmonizing both your natural coloring AND your unique personality—not just what others see on the outside.

When I read John Mark Comer's "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry," I was excited to see how his approach to clothing aligns with my philosophy. Wardrobe simplicity eliminates hurry and restores peace by removing unnecessary decisions from your day, allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
In this episode, I share four essential questions to ask before any purchase and I explain why having fewer, better garments creates space for what truly matters. The American expectation that women should rarely repeat outfits doesn't just clutter our closets—it complicates our mornings and clouds our minds.
This week's episode includes a practical challenge: Create your two favorite outfits for the current season and experience the liberation that comes when wardrobe decisions become effortless.
What's the fewest number of outfits you could get by with?

Remember when we were told women in business had to have short hair? 🤦♀️
I believed that rule in the 80s—along with other style "commandments" that turned out to be completely arbitrary.
In the latest Signature Style Systems podcast episode, I'm breaking down 7 outdated style rules that are holding you back from authentic personal expression:
Why repeating outfits can actually strengthen your personal brand
The truth about black basics (hint: most people look terrible in black!)
How mixing metals creates more harmony with your natural coloring
Why matching shoes to your hair instead of your outfit creates better flow
Plus, I share a practical exercise to help you create your own custom color combinations for spring.
Using style rules often feels safe because they provide clear boundaries, but what makes a person magnetic is effectively communicating who you really are through your appearance. #signaturestyle #personaldevelopment #stylerules #authenticstyle #podcast
What's one style rule you've broken that actually worked better for you?

"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?
