78🔸Style Rules Worth Breaking: Permission to Ignore Outdated Fashion Advice

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In the latest Signature Style Systems podcast episode, I'm breaking down 7 outdated style rules that are holding you back from authentic personal expression: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 brandThe truth about black basics (hint: most people look terrible in black!)How mixing metals creates more harmony with your natural coloringWhy 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?

🔸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.
