The Closet Audit service might be my favorite service I offer. I sometimes hear from other image consultants that they don’t like going out to clients’ closets. That its a lot, and that its work they don’t really want to do. Is it a lot? Sure. Its 4 hours of you and I in your closet together, trying on clothes and making piles that tell a garment’s destiny- keep, discard, donate, tailor.
Zoom has become the new conference room, your dining room table your new cubicle, your kids have become your co-workers, and someone swapped out all the pens and staplers in the supply cabinet with chips and Cheetos. With all of us working from home, we have relied on Zoom as a way for us to connect, which is great, but for some, we’re bringing less flattering versions of ourselves. Here are my tips for how to present the best version of yourself to the virtual conference room.
Seriously. What is going on right now? At first, because I am not a worrier, like AT ALL, I wasn’t really worried about all that is happening right now. I think about to other times when I’ve talked to my mom about something serious and I would say, ‘EH, I dunno Ma, I’m just not worried about it.’ Her response would be, ‘WELL, you should be.’
Today’s post was inspired by my girl Suzanne Taylor. You may have noticed her popping up on my feed recently. I recently met her at a lunch and instantly knew we would vibe. Fast forward, and I’ve styled her for two speaking engagements and we’ve been to several events together. I highly encourage you to check out her site-she provides authentic life and career coaching in a truly magnetic way.
How original, right?
With the lack of winter we’ve gotten, it’s got me super anxious for spring. Personally, I’m a flowers person. Give me all the floral prints and I’m good. I consider my personal style to be classic and feminine, with a touch of trend. However, I have a lot of clients that really just don’t resonate with a feminine style. There are many ways to bring florals into your wardrobe without feeling like you’re ready for afternoon tea.
I would like to redirect all of you to read that title again, this time in a Whitney Houston singing voice. Much better right? My inspiration for today’s post came to me the other day when I was in the car and heard a Kings of Leon song. I was immediately teleported back into… 2009? I think that was the year. I then just started on a trip down memory lane thinking about how much music really can burn a feeling and an event into your brain. Like I can still remember in college dancing with my girlfriend Jenna to Nina Sky ‘Oye Mi Canto’ and honestly, I just put it on YouTube and a smile came to my face instantly.
