17🔸What’s Your Style Personality? Decoding the Connection Between Style Type and Myers-Briggs

Hey friend!
 
In today’s episode, I’m going to explain the style personality system behind the “What’s Your Style Personality?” quiz I built (just for fun), how it connects to Myers-Briggs, and what’s coming next around style and personality in my world.
 
With some time on my hands during Covid lockdowns, I set about creating a style personality quiz. I updated the language around the six style personalities that I used. And then, because everyone’s style is complex and personal, I added accent types for a total of 30 possible outcomes! In this episode, I tell you what the style personality types are, I explain the connection I discovered between this style personality model and the Myers-Briggs system, and I give a cheat code for if you find one particular question in the quiz challenging to answer.
 
Take the quiz here!

16🔸Winter Smart Casual Outfit Templates: Three Easy Formulas

Now that the holidays are behind us, are you feeling the winter wardrobe blahs? My friend, we have more than ten more weeks of winter! If you feel like you could use some fresh inspiration that won’t leave you freezing, stay tuned; I’ve got three fresh and simple winter outfit templates for you in the latest episode of the podcast.
 
When I went to California in November of 2022, for my advanced training in color and style, I knew I was going to be evaluated everyday for my outfits. And I did not want to play it safe. I wanted to bring the outfits that I thought were fun and cool, but I had a little bit of doubt around. Because I’m just like you (but with a little more training).
 
Ultimately it was a huge confirmation to my confidence, but the outfits themselves weren’t all that helpful. Because here in Spokane WA we almost never have moderate weather. It’s either hot or cold. So in this episode, I am riffing on three business casual templates, but with updates and commentary from halfway through a 5 month long winter.

14🔸 Signature Style: Why Does It Matter if You Look Like You? Spend Less Time to Create More Impact

Hey friend! Does it really matter whether you show up to your life looking and feeling like yourself? Is it really a problem for you to feel self-conscious? After all, doesn’t everybody?
 
I think it does matter, and in this episode I’m going to give you a glimpse into my personal life to explain why and then I’ll share some personality-based tips to give you a boost.
 
But first I want to invite you to grab my free wardrobe planning workbook, The Wardrobe Pyramid. you can download at the link below, or on my website Signature Style Systems.
 
Before Covid, because of some things going on in local politics, there were alot of people talking loud about the best strategies for getting people off the streets and integrated back into society. At the time, I was volunteering with a local recovery program and the hero was parking next to a train trestle and getting to know one of the residents there.
 
Then in one day driving through town and seeing the people walking across the street with all the earthly possessions, I had two realizations:
1) I could do more. There was so much need and I could do more.
2) Pretty much anybody, in any job, could do it such a way as to improve the life and the chances of others. And not just specific others, my vision is universal flourishing. I honestly believe we need everyone contributing at their greatest point of impact to solve the mammoth problems we have: homelessness, cancer, global warming. Loneliness.
 
So, what has that to do with you feeling self-conscious about how you look?
For years, I was not seen as who I am and therefore I didn’t attract opportunities that were inline with my gifting. I looked like a generic mom, so people asked me to babysit.
 
And I wasted alot of time and money on shopping for clothes that I didn’t end up feeling like myself in. So my why is for you to be able to waste less of your life on shopping and trying to make outfits and to have more time to do more important things, and more impact by being seen for who you truly are.

13🔸 How to Not Look Frumpy: Steal This Shortcut to Better Outfits!

Hey friend! Proportion is one of the most impactful concepts in the art of style and today I’m gonna teach you a shortcut. I’m continuing to break down how to choose pants and make outfits that work with your body type. 
 
But first I want to invite you to grab my free wardrobe planning workbook, The Wardrobe Pyramid. you can download at the link below, or on my website Signature Style Systems.
 
When I built my Signature Style University process, I worked really hard to put the information in a sequence that would make it easy for you to integrate into your thinking about shopping and making outfits. The reason for that is that there is so much technical information to know and, unless we seek it out, none of us are really trained in any of it. 
 
In the first custom style guide in the process, I share your aesthetic themes, contras level, silhouette, and this proportion hack. This is the first time I've taught this publicly.

12🔸Should You Be Wearing High-Waisted or Low-Rise Jeans? Here’s What They Don’t Tell You

Hey friends! This episode is inspired by a friend’s question about choosing the right rise.
Here it is: the secret to deciding between high rise and low rise or mid rise. Choose whichever is comfortable for you! But what they’re not telling you is how to put outfits together with each. It’s completely different!
 
Honestly, it surprised me last spring to see low rise back again so soon. So in this episode, I give some simple guidance around how to get proportions right depending on which rise you choose. Because here’s the thing that’s different now from when we went through these trend cycles in the past: there is so much more freedom now to wear whatever works for you. Rather than having your style dictated by the trends, you can develop a personalized strategy. Start with my free wardrobe planning workbook which you can download at the link below.
 
I came up with these five steps to help me with my own wardrobe and I use them every season when I do my big changeover and sometimes just when I’m having a bad closet day.
