You know how some fashion books make you feel like there's a right and wrong way to dress? Well, "It's So You: The Joy of Personal Style" by Kate Spade New York is nothing like that. It's like having a chat with your best friend who encourages you to embrace your unique style and not just follow the crowd.

Instead of dictating what you should wear, this book guides you on how to build a wardrobe that screams 'you'. It's jam-packed with engaging chats, cool style tips, and out-of-the-box outfit ideas.

One thing I absolutely loved about this book is how it spotlights the little personal touches that can totally transform your style. It doesn't matter if you're dressing for a casual day out or a fancy event, this book nudges you to find joy in expressing yourself through your outfits.

But it's not all about clothes. This book goes deeper and explores how embracing your personal style can add a dash of joy to your everyday life. It's a holistic approach that makes this book a gem not just for fashion enthusiasts but also for anyone keen on expressing themselves authentically through what they wear.

To wrap it up, "It's So You: The Joy of Personal Style" by Kate Spade New York I would not consider a fashion guide but a book celebrating fashion, style, and your personal style.

Today, I want to touch upon a topic close to our hearts: the profound impact our thoughts about our bodies can have on our personal style journey.

In our style evolution, self-awareness is the key that unlocks a wardrobe that truly resonates with who we are. Here's why being mindful of the thoughts we have about our bodies is a game-changer:

1. Style Begins in the Mind: Your perception of your body shapes your style choices. By understanding and reshaping these thoughts, you gain the ability to curate a wardrobe that you really want to wear and not just trying to cover up your body.

2. Confidence Unleashed: Embracing your body thoughts is a path to cultivating unshakeable confidence. When you are aware that the information you think is just feedback of what you really want.  There is nothing wrong with you.  You are on a path of growth.

3. Fashion as Empowerment: It's not about conforming to societal norms; it's about using fashion as a tool. You will dress intentionally instead of unintentionally.

Ready to elevate your personal brand image?  Schedule your Complimentry 1:1 Coaching Consultation

In the ever-evolving world of personal branding, visibility is key. One of the most effective ways to increase this visibility and elevate your brand image is through professional photography. A well-executed photoshoot can help your brand stand out from the competition and give it a sense of quality and professionalism.

But it's not just about taking high-quality pictures. It's also about choosing the right colors for your branding photography. The colors you choose can have a significant impact on how your brand is perceived, and they play a crucial role in forming clear visual identities for marketing materials.

 

Here are two essential tips we discuss:

 

1. Choosing the Best Colors for Branding Photoshoots: The colors in your photos should align with your brand's aesthetic and message. They should evoke the emotions you want associated with your brand and fit with your visual identity.

2. Finding the Perfect Personal Brand Colors: Your personal brand colors should be consistent across all platforms, including your photos and marketing materials. This helps build a recognizable and unique personal brand.

Successful personal brands have mastered the art of using colors strategically in their branding photography. And guess what? You can too!

To learn more about this topic, I highly recommend tuning into the newest episode of the Midlife Style School podcast. I have dedicated an entire episode to discuss how to use colors strategically in your personal brand.

Remember, your personal brand is a powerful tool that can set you apart from the crowd. With the right approach to professional photography and color selection, you can elevate your brand image and make a lasting impression.

Welcome to another episode of the Midlife Style School where we are delve into the exciting intersection of fasshion & mathmatics, a concept buzzing on social media called "Girl Math".

In this episode, we'll explore how "Girl Math" can help us better understand the real cost of clothing and accessories. We'll also share some tips on how to shop smarter and more efficiently using the principles of "Girl Math".

Topics Discussed:

1. Understanding "Girl Math"

1. 1. "Girl Math" is a trend that encourages consumers to consider the long-term value of a purchase rather than just the upfront cost.
   2. The primary tool used in "Girl Math" is the cost-per-wear formula, which is calculated by dividing the price of an item by the estimated number of times you'll wear it.
   3. The lower the cost-per-wear, the better the value.
2. Applying "Girl Math" to Fashion Purchases
   • This approach can be particularly useful when shopping for clothing and accessories, as it shifts focus from the initial price tag to understanding the real value and longevity of an item.
   • However, it's important to use "Girl Math" responsibly and not as a justification for overspending or purchasing items that are beyond one's means.
3. Tips for Shopping Smarter with "Girl Math"
   • Set a budget before you start shopping to avoid impulse purchases.
   • Prioritize quality over quantity, investing in fewer, high-quality pieces.
   • Calculate the cost-per-wear to understand the true value of an item.
   • Consider the versatility of items and invest in classic pieces.
   • Take good care of your items to extend their lifespan.
   • Always remember, the goal is to make more sustainable and thoughtful decisions, not just to find an excuse to shop.

Key Takeaways:

"Girl Math" can be a valuable tool for consumers to better understand the real cost of clothing and accessories. It promotes mindful shopping and encourages a shift towards quality and sustainability. By applying these principles, you can make smarter shopping decisions that benefit both your wallet and the environment.

In today's fast-paced world, personal style is often overlooked. Many people believe that style is a superficial matter or something that only matters to celebrities and fashion influencers. However, the power of personal style goes far beyond the clothes you wear. It's about expressing your personality, boosting your confidence, and making an impression on others.

If you're not using the power of personal style, you're missing out on a multitude of benefits. For instance, personal style can help you stand out in a crowd, make a strong first impression, and even elevate your professional image. Not harnessing this power can leave you blending into the background, failing to communicate your unique identity effectively, and potentially missing opportunities both personally and professionally.

 

Here are some ways you can maximize the power of personal style:

 

1. Know Your Colors: Understanding which colors flatter your skin tone can dramatically enhance your appearance and boost your confidence.

2. Assess Your Wardrobe: Take a good look at what's already in your closet. Identify the pieces you love and why you love them. This will give you a sense of your current style and what works for you.

3. Understand Your Preferences: What do you feel most comfortable in? Which outfits make you feel powerful and confident? Knowing your preferences will help you develop a personal style that truly reflects who you are.

4. Create a Style Guide or Outfits: Based on your color palette, wardrobe assessment, and preferences, create a style guide or set of outfits that encapsulate your personal style. This can serve as a blueprint when shopping for new pieces or putting together outfits.

5. Implementation: Knowledge without action is futile. Apply what you've learned about your personal style in your daily life. Practice creating outfits, experimenting with different looks, and stepping out of your comfort zone. Remember, practice makes perfect!

Your personal style is a powerful tool. It's an extension of your personality and a way to express yourself without saying a word. So, don't shy away from exploring and embracing your personal style – it could open up a world of possibilities!

How many times have we desired things, dreamt, or craved a new avenue only to tell ourselves things like:

• “One day”
• “When I have more time”
• “When I feel more ready”
• “When I’ve learnt a little more”
• “When I have more support”
• “When I have more money”

Today, we're talking about how to choose yourself. I can't wait to dive in!

In this enlightening episode, Afton delve into the deep connection between our thoughts, self-perception, and personal style. We explore why compliments from others sometimes fall on deaf ears, and how our thoughts, though not always factual, can significantly influence how we feel about ourselves and our outfits.

 

Key Discussion Points:

 

1. The Power of Self-Image: We start by discussing how our thoughts about ourselves directly impact our choices in clothing and how we feel about our clothing.

2. The Compliment Conundrum: Why is it that when people compliment our outfits, we often struggle to believe them? 

3. Thoughts vs. Facts: Our thoughts about ourselves aren't always factual, yet they shape our feelings and actions. 

4. There is nothing wrong with you:  What you are thinking and feeling is totally normal.  Nothing has gone wrong but there is another way.

Join me as we navigate the intertwined paths of self-perception and personal style, learning how to use our wardrobes as a powerful tool to boost confidence and promote self-love. Don't miss this opportunity to redefine your relationship with your closet and, more importantly, with yourself.

Today, we're threading together an intriguing narrative around a subject that impacts all of us - the deep-seated connection between our self-image and the clothes we choose to wear. Let's embark on this journey together!

Each one of us has a unique self-image, an internal portrait of who we believe we are. This image is shaped by a myriad of factors, including cultural norms, media portrayals of beauty, personal experiences, and societal expectations. These elements intertwine to form our sense of self, which interestingly, often manifests in our clothing choices.

I recall a time when my wardrobe was a mirror of my self-esteem. Back in the day, baggy clothes were my armor against the world, allowing me to blend into the background. However, as I worked on my self-image and embraced my individuality, my attire started reflecting these changes. I began opting for more vibrant, fitting attire that mirrored my newfound confidence.

Our clothing choices act as a visual representation of how we perceive ourselves. When we wear something that amplifies our self-image, it boosts our confidence, making us feel more comfortable in our skin. However, it's crucial to remember that while fashion can be a form of self-expression, it should not dictate our sense of worth. Our value lies within us, not in the labels we wear.

 

Here are some practical tips to help you align your clothing choices with a positive self-image:

 

1. Dress for yourself: Choose clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable.

2. Experiment: Don't hesitate to try out different styles. You might discover something new about yourself!

3. Set your own trends: Don't let fashion magazines dictate your style. Create your own unique look.

4. Remember, clothes are an extension of who you are, not a definition of your worth.

 

As we conclude today's episode, remember that your wardrobe is a canvas for your personality. So dress in a way that reflects the true you!

Thank you for joining me today. Stay tuned for more insightful conversations on our next episode. See you next time!

Find out what's stopping you from feeling more beautiful:  free mini-session

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt less than beautiful? Perhaps you've spent hours trying to perfect your look, running from one shopping trip to the next for that 'magic' makeover. You may have even considered plastic surgery - anything, just to try and feel good about yourself. But despite all these efforts, do you still feel like something is missing?

If so, it might be time to take a look inside yourself instead of just searching externally - because no matter what kind of makeover we can offer; true beauty starts within.

In this podcast episode, we'll explore how self-love is key in unlocking our inner beauty - and step away from being reliant on external factors that just don't last.

The journey to feeling beautiful is a process. We can tend to the outside all we want and still not feel beautiful on the inside. Understanding why we can't make ourselves beautiful by changing our appearances and delving into what lies beneath the surface is how true beauty blossoms.

It's not about having it all together, but rather it's allowing ourselves to think deeply about why we don't feel good enough so that this can be addressed head-on. Taking accountability for our internal dialogue and its impact on our day-to-day life is a powerful tool for reshaping our thoughts around beauty.

By creating a plan to love yourself more, we are taking an active role in feeling beautiful from within. If you’re ready to make some real changes today, schedule a free mini-session today.

Listen to this episode to learn a whole new look on your self-confidence.  I promise you, you haven't heard this point of view any where else and it will change how you view it.

Here are 6 ways to boost your confidence about your style.

1. Focus on fit: Invest in clothing that fits well and flatters your unique shape. A well-fitted outfit can work wonders for your self-confidence. Don't be afraid to visit a tailor to achieve the perfect fit, as this can make all the difference in how you feel in your clothes.
   
   

2. Embrace color: Don't shy away from bold colors and patterns. They can instantly elevate your mood and make you feel more confident. Experiment with different color combinations and find what works best for your skin tone and personality.
   
   

3. Develop a signature style: Identify the styles, cuts, and fabrics that make you feel your best and build your wardrobe around these key pieces. Your signature style should be a reflection of who you are and what makes you feel confident and beautiful.
   
   

4. Prioritize quality: Invest in high-quality, timeless pieces that will last for years and make you feel good every time you wear them. Quality materials and craftsmanship not only look better but also send a message of self-worth and confidence.
   
   

5. Seek inspiration: Follow fashion blogs, Instagram accounts, and Pinterest boards of midlife women whose style you admire. This can help you discover new ideas and boost your confidence in your own fashion choices. Surround yourself with positive role models and learn from their experiences.
   
   

6. Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself and remember that nobody is perfect. Treat yourself with the same understanding and empathy you would offer to a close friend or family member. Acknowledge your achievements and celebrate your progress as you work on building your self-esteem.
