21🔸Why Gen X Is the Sexiest Generation & Does It Matter if You Can See I'm Wearing a Bra?

I’m about to offend everybody. 
Welcome to Episode 21 of the Signature Style Systems podcast, in which I share my opinions about why Generation X is the sexiest generation, and about modesty and when it is or is not ok to show your bra straps.
If you’re ready for an honest conversation about the fact that we have to wear stuff under our clothes, that’s where we’re going.
I dip into politics to explain how I think Gen X became the sexiest generation. Then hit religion and talk about modesty/purity culture. And finish up by talking about women’s underwear.

19🔸Why Do Some Clothes Look Like Pajamas on Me?

Hey friend!
 
Have you ever wondered whether you could get away with buying a pajama top and wearing it for daywear? Or, conversely, have you ever bought a regular garment and then wondered why it looked like pajamas on you?
 
This episode is gonna be one that helps explain the mysteries of why some clothes work for other people but don’t fit or flatter your body. I explain a little about what makes things specifically look like sleepwear, how to choose prints that work with your facial features, and a artistic principle of style that I’m almost positive you have never heard of: complexity.

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.

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.
