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.

Most women were never taught that clothing belongs in a budget. They were taught it was the first thing to cut.
Ramit Sethi's Conscious Spending Plan treats basic clothing the same as rent and groceries: a non-negotiable cost of being a functioning human. Elevated clothing gets its own intentional category. Neither one requires an apology.
But here's what his framework doesn't tell you. A clothing budget without Style DNA clarity i...
Most of us were never handed a verdict on purpose. Someone just made a choice, and we made it mean something.
This episode starts with a brown gingham dress and a six-year-old who drew the wrong conclusion. It ends with a journaling prompt that may be the beginning of a thread worth pulling.
Recovering your own eye is the most effective way to finally embody your unique style.
We cover three ideas: how childhood style experiences f...
Harriet McJimsey introduced style archetypes in 1963. What she built was a whole-person reading system. What the popular adaptations kept was mostly the body-typing.
Understanding your style archetypes as a whole-person reading, not a body-typing exercise, is the most effective way to develop your signature style. This episode traces the real lineage: what McJimsey actually built, how Kibbe, Kitchener, and others adapted it, and wh...
Most women who resist hiring a personal stylist think the resistance is about money or confidence. It isn't. It's about a very specific fear: that you'll come out looking polished and put-together and completely unlike yourself.
In this episode I name the three real reasons that resistance shows up, why they make complete sense, and what a process looks like that starts with your wiring instead of your wardrobe.
If you've ever th...
Most people who know the Enneagram focus on their type number. But new research suggests your survival instinct — self-preservation, social, or sexual — is actually the more useful tool for understanding your personal style.
In this episode I break down what each enneagram instinct looks like in the wardrobe, what images you're drawn to reveal about your instinct, and how I use that information when working with women...
Mili Velikova has a video on style vs taste that's worth your time before you listen to this episode.
She names something real: what you're drawn to and what you actually wear with confidence are not always the same thing. And the gap between them is a genuine source of wa...
Most people think caring about appearance conflicts with spiritual depth, but actually the body is an instrument of worship.
In this episode, I unpack three ideas that reframe beauty as devotion rather than vanity: the body as instrument of worship, what Jesus actually said about clothes, and how your personal aesthetic is something to discover rather than construct.
If you have ever felt pressure to conform to someone else's id...
Your region was already shaping what you wore, what felt normal, and what got you sideways looks at dinner, long before you had any framework for personal style at all.
Colin Woodard's American Nations framework proposes that North America is actually 11 distinct cultures, each with founding values that have persisted for centuries.
The eleven nations:
- Yankeedom (New England to the upper Midwest): Founded by radical Calvinis...
Most color analysts say wearing black depends on your season, but actually your cognitive functions reveal why you're drawn to black and what to pair it with.
In this episode, I break down why introverts have a different relationship with black than extraverts, what each introverted function needs black to do, and the polarity principle for pairing black in ways that actually work for your type.
If you've ever wondered why wearin...
Your style DNA is the operating system underneath every outfit decision you make.
In this episode, I share three principles that are original to my Style DNA system and that you are unlikely to hear from a stylist, a style quiz, or an AI. These are the mechanics behind why some outfits make you disappear and others make people finally see you.
We cover chroma harmony and the Same Plane test, why your favorite color is the only th...
Most women fighting their closet think they have a shopping problem or a willpower problem. They don't. They have a design problem.
Dressing for your body type isn't about minimizing or hiding. It's about understanding your body's design and making choices that harmonize with it. Today's episode teaches the principle that makes fit challenges make sense, including specific strategies for tummy, bust, and thighs.
If you want to wo...
You asked an AI what to wear. It told you to trust your instinct. Then it told you the opposite instinct was better.
That's not guidance. That's people-pleasing.
Your style DNA questions deserve real answers from a real framework, and that's exactly what Style DNA Labs is designed to deliver. The April session focuses on fit challenges, including bust, tummy, and thighs, but bring whatever your body presents.
Most people think they know how to be popular. Be agreeable. Be relatable. Don't take up too much space.
But there's a woman at the nail salon who never got that memo, and everyone in the room loves her for it. In this episode I'm unpacking what actually makes someone magnetic, why it has nothing to do with swearing, and what it has everything to do with. Including what your wardrobe has to say about it.
If you have ever felt lik...
Most people build their style inspiration boards from outfit photos. The problem is you end up chasing someone else's aesthetic instead of your own.
The designers at Alice Lane build their interiors from sources that have nothing to do with interiors: a vintage sports car, a textile, a memory of a place. The result is spaces that feel completely original because the inspiration was never borrowed.
Your wardrobe works the same way. ...
Most people think of personality type as a fun way to understand themselves. What they don’t realize is that your cognitive functions also predict a lot about which friendships will feel effortless and which ones will require more work.
In this episode I share what I’ve noticed about making friends as an adult through the lens of Myers-Briggs cognitive functions, including what happens when types are just one letter apa...
Most women say making friends as an adult is hard. And they’re not wrong. But hard doesn’t mean impossible, and it doesn’t mean out of your control.
In this episode I share what I’ve learned about making friends as an adult, including the small moves that actually work, why the busy seasons of life can quietly create a friendship gap you don’t notice until later, and the moment I realized I had more ch...
Have you ever found yourself with a closet full of clothes but nothing you actually want to wear?
One of my clients, Lauren, recently sent me a voice memo. She's been applying the signature style principles we worked on together, and she noticed something: she keeps pulling clothes out of her closet and not wanting to wear them. Not because of color. Not because of fit. Because of how the fabric feels.
Most signature style advice ...
Many women silently lose themselves to life and responsibilities. One way this shows up visually is through value contrast choices that don't match their natural coloring.
Last episode, I mentioned seeing one exception to the rule that genuine preferences align with what works. This week, I'm sharing what happened and why understanding your value contrast is essential to being seen for who you truly are instead of disappearing in...
Ever asked yourself "what if what I like doesn't actually look good on me?"
If you're an ENFP, INFP, ENTP, or INTP, this question probably feels familiar. Your cognitive functions are creating doubt, but here's what you need to know: your genuine aesthetic preferences and what actually works for you align more than you think.
Understanding your cognitive functions helps you see why you doubt yourself and why that doubt might be m...
I went to the mall last week. I was surprised to see the clothing stores are basically gone. I guess if I was shopping for my clothes at the mall, I wouldn't have been surprised.
In this week's episode, I share how my clothing spending changed last year, in light of the shifting retail landscape. I hear "I don't know where to shop" from people all the time and it makes strategic wardrobe building more necessary than ever.
I'm also ...
