In this episode, I’m sharing something I discovered back when I was in university: an overlap between William Sheldon’s somatotypes and the 16 personality system, Myers-Briggs. In the 1940s, William Sheldon developed a system that categorized people into three basic body types: endomorphs, mesomorphs, and ectomorphs. I’ll explain how somatotype, or body contour line, informs fabric choices and how you can adapt your fabric choices to fit your preferences.

Have you ever wondered just how many clothes should a woman have in her wardrobe? Do you tend to keep too many or to buy too few?
Most people have a vague sense of whether or not they have the right amount of clothes. In this episode, I’m explaining how you can know for sure.
Alot of people have too many, plenty of people don’t have enough, and it is entirely possible to have both: too many of the wrong things and not enough of the right things. That’s why I built The Wardrobe Pyramid. It’s a downloadable guide, 5 Steps to a Closet Full of Enough. Grab the guide: The Wardrobe Pyramid and discover your Goldilocks number of clothes.

Do you see spending on clothes for yourself as an indulgence? If you follow Dave Ramsey, that might be a logical conclusion. His EveryDollar budget percentages don’t even include a category for clothing! No wonder we are confused, and millions are suffering mom guilt!
Welcome to Episode 58 of Signature Style Systems. In this episode, I’d like to propose shifting our thinking around clothing budgeting from either deprivation or indulgence to stewardship. Clothing clearly fits into the category of need. But clothing is also a means of communication. By what you wear, you are communicating who you are. Check out my online program, Your Visual Identity Journey, to begin creating a signature style that visually communicates who you really are to the world.

Today I’m bringing you another episode that’s likely to offend some people. The concept of the Triple Goddess has roots in a neopaganism concept and I’m also bringing a concept from the Bible.
But, rather than goddess worship, I just want to use the framework to address the three seasons of a woman’s life: Maiden, Mother, and Mentor, and the wardrobe tasks and goals associated with each.

How important is it to you to feel powerful? I suspect a lot of people are a little ambivalent about the whole concept of power.
Recently I was introduced to a feelings wheel with three negative emotions; sad, mad, and scared; and three positive emotions; joyful, powerful, and peaceful.

TBH, nobody really knows what the right title is for people who work in this industry. I like to use the term Visual Identity Guide for myself because how you present yourself says something about who you are and I think it’s important for it to be accurate and authentic, more than an image put on for effect.
Here’s your homework for this episode. Journal about the impact you believe you are here to create in the world. And consider this question: if you knew what you were wearing was right for you, how much more time and energy and money would be available for you to pursue that dream?

Today I’m talking about color again. When I first encountered the artistic and scientific principles of style, finding your color palette on your body was a whole new concept for me.

Do you know your season? How sure are you? Today I’m breaking down some myths and truths around personal color analysis and seasonal design theory.
Ok, here’s what I think seasonal design theory is really all about: it’s a quality of design that evokes a feeling. In my philosophy, the point of using seasonal design theory, and all the other systems I use to help you create a signature style, is to make you look like you!
If you have ever had your colors done and not felt like yourself, or if you resist the idea of being put into a box, whether it is one of four or one of 24, I want to tell you about my “from-scratch” color discoveries. This is the final step on your journey of self-discovery. I look at your coloring and your essential aesthetic and create a one-of-a-kind palette for you.
