Have you ever wondered what exactly it is that makes an outfit look cool and polished and gets people to say, “Wow, you look amazing!”

First, let me tell you what it's not.

It’s not how much money you spend. Most people don’t even know the difference. And those that do only know because they’re wearing the same things.

It’s not what’s on trend. Trends are born from a handful of people. And while trends need people to agree that they’re a “thing” to get the ball rolling, not every trend is for every person. And that’s okay.

It’s not wearing a size 2. There is no size or shape that automatically gives you better style. Whether or not you choose to try is up to you, not your size.

So, what does cause someone to do a double-take, ask where you got your pants, and secretly think, “I wish I could look like her”?

3 things … How it fits. How it feels. And how you style it.

Fit. Is. Everything.

I can’t emphasize this enough. A great-fitting garment, whether you buy it that way or have it tailored, is my trick to making things look more expensive than they really are. Yes, even the occasional Target sweater. Because a good fit equals good quality.

And yes, this is where investing in quality can help. More time and attention has been put on designing and cutting a great garment. But even a $500 jacket that doesn’t fit you isn’t going to look right. Good foundations make great outfits.

But 50% of great style is also a great attitude. Which is why you should never wear things you don’t feel good in.

Period. Full stop. End of story.

I don’t care how spectacular it looks on someone else. How you feel in your clothes affects how you show up, how you carry yourself, and your aura. (Yes, you, you’ve got an aura.) If that feels a bit too woo for you, let’s just call it your presence.

If you’re feeling it. Other people feel that. Ya feel me?

Lastly, if we’re really going to get down to the nitty gritty, the devil is in the details. (How many cliches do you think I can fit into one sentence?)

Even the smallest touches – a fun pair of earrings, a great bag, a fabulous shoe – or styling tricks like a tuck or tossing a cardigan over your shoulders can take an outfit from boring to “something’s different about her” brilliant.

These tricks are the industry secrets that all these influencers are in on. With a few tweaks, they can make any product look good.

And you can too!

Because this is exactly what we go over together in a Styling Session. In these quick, but fun and focused sessions, we’ll start with those good foundations and build on what you already have.

Don’t think your current closet has anything to offer? Think again!

Even if it’s a cool jacket from college you thought you’d never be able to wear again or an artsy necklace you picked up from a cute boutique on your last work trip, everyone has gems in their wardrobe that are being underutilized. It’s time to rediscover them.
