Here's a brilliant question that was sent in for our last Instagram Live Q&A. In case you missed it, check out Anna's answer below. We hope it's helpful x "Lots of people worry about this and it’s really difficult to avoid because most brands have gone a little crazy with their sizes and everything is massive at the moment. There’s basically a tipping point for everyone. It’s actually about height because how tall you are dictates how much volume your body can cope with. So, there is a tipping point where oversize clothes will look cool or you will look swamped, and as if you’re wearing something five sizes too big for you. What I would look out for are the flash points so to speak. The shoulder, for example, if it’s massive then by default the sleeve is going to come out too, and there’s a knock on effect. Don’t go too big in this area. Keep sizing down (it may be nowhere near your actual size). Go for as much as three sizes smaller than your normal size if you need to. You need to try and keep the shoulder relatively neat. Look for slouchier fabrics rather than thick, dense ones. If they’re a bit slouchier, once they’re on the body they start to collapse a bit more. You might find it slightly easier to try and do this look with something like a sweater, for example, because with clever tucking and rolling, you can actually bring it in quite significantly. When you’re rolling a sleeve, if you pull it first and then start to roll, it will start to shrink the volume of the sleeve in. You should be able to see it happening as you do it. Try that first as that will make a massive difference to how big something appears. Think about gathering at the back and tucking at the front, to bring everything slightly in." #oversizetrend #oversizedtrend #bodyshapes #yourstyleyourway #wardrobeconsultant #thinkshape #realwomenstyle #bodypositivity #savetimeandmoney #bodykindness #fashionapp #mindfulshopping #bodymapping #midlifestyle #elevateyourstyle #fashionconsultant #consciousliving #purchasewithpurpose #everydaylooks #stylingtips #personalstylist #stylingadvice #mindfulfashion #stylingapp #springstyling

So let’s examine a couple of easy options of how to wear dark colors in summer on a budget. Quote of the day: “The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.” James Clear The three […] #boomers #babyboomers

Gen Z loooooves a good dupe But what does this mean for the actual brands? Is it flattering or is it just straight up sabotage. The luxury industry has definitely taken a hit from all these website dupes that shall not be named (rhymes with shreen lol) Here, we all love a good bargain and I've definitely purchased my fair share of dupes but I'm starting to see the difference between good quality and getting what you pay for. #dupe has over 3 BILLION views on TikTok!! How wild...a great hook for sure but let me tell you, those OlaPlex dupes and Dyson Air wraps are a load of sh*t. Sure, cheap is cheerful but at what cost? Hair damage? no way josé. Don't even get me stared on the cost of the living crisis cause this doesn't help but its the brands that have spent years curating their identity or brands that began at home during lockdown that are taking the hit. Now, I'm not going to paint every dupe product with the same brush as yes I'd rather buy the dupe version of a pack of Oreos but it's the bags, the shoes, the hair stylers, the clothes, it's all getting a bit much no? Fun Fact... To keep a brands integrity, Louis Vuitton and other luxury brands actually burn their products if they're not sold after a period of time to maintain their image. When I found this out, I thought okay co-co-co-cool *insert Jake Peralta meme* but what about the fabric waste of that product, surely recycling it or repurposing it would do the environment some good? just a thought If you really look at it, there's dupes of absolutely everything. Even some LinkedIn posts lol Anyway, key takeaway? Do what you want with your money but quality over quantity always and lets try and support brands and business that treat their workers with equality and healthy working standards 🎉🎉 #Dupe #brands #marketing P.S cheers nan for holding onto this shirt since the 80's <3

A lot of people think that in order to become your next-level, more elevated self, you need to first start with the inner work and the mindset work, and that it will naturally work itself from the inside-out.  Although that is absolutely true, you can also start from the outside-in and use FASHION and personal style as a conduit to match to your next level.  Have you ever walked into a grocery store maybe dressed a little bit more elevated than your usual- and experienced better treatment? When you dress up, do people hold doors open for you? Call you “ma’am” and offer you services? It’s a whole thing. Try dressing as your next level as you run basic errands around town one day and see how you like that experience! You can be more intentional about dressing as your next level self without breaking the bank. Here are 3 tips: 1. Find something you’d like but it’s out of reach currently, mark it and wait for big sale, coupon stacking, price drops etc 2. Borrow it/thrift it 3. My personal favorite: RENT it from companies like @armoire.style (DM me for a 50% off code) Show up as her NOW and watch your life and business completely transform.  This is why fashion is such a core feature of our Empresaria Roundtable Brunches. You’re invited to show up as your DREAM self and get your portrait photos captured by the talented @adelineartistrystudio so you can see that version of you…NOW! #empresariabrunchexperience #styletips #stylematching #bodystyle #ceomindset #fashiontips #armoirestyle

Dressing in clothes that make us feel good, can give us a sense of empowerment and boost our mood. #bespoketailoring #bespokedesign #fashiondesigner #styleinspiration #explorepage #foryoupage

EFFORTLESS 5-MINUTE OUTFIT✌🏾 Earlier this week, I volunteered for a nonprofit organization called "Success In Style." They have a shopping store with gently used, high-end clothing in Savage, Maryland where everything is $5. After my 4-hour shift, the volunteer leader said I could select 3 clothing items for FREE for "payment" of my time. I put this outfit together in less than 5 minutes. So, how did I select this outfit so fast??? 🔑I know what I'm looking for because I have a personal brand primary wardrobe color that compliments my skin color (yes, my primary color is PINK💞) 🔑 I understand sizes for certain clothing brands. The top is made by Apartment 9 and the shorts are made by IZOD. Both of these brands run big, so I picked out a size smaller than what I usually wear (I didn’t try this outfit on until I got home) 🔑 I always think about the accessories I already have at home. The necklace is my late Grandmother's and I bought the pink sandals at Marshall's last summer. 🔑 I needed a more casual outfit where I could dress it up and dress it down based on my current lifestyle (For example, I think this is a perfect outfit to wear to my son's first basketball game, a casual networking event during the day, or running errands around town). Shopping shouldn't be that stressful or expensive. Have a color theme, know your sizes and styles that best fit you and most uimportantly, HAVE FUN🥳 And of course, reach out if you need support to transform your wardrobe into one that highlights your unique personal brand style!

Who remembers the first day of school and the feeling of wearing your new outfit? When I was younger, my mom would buy me and my siblings one new pair of sneakers for the year at our local shoe store’s July Summer blowout sale. That meant that I had to wait at least a month before donning my new loves. Torture! On that first day of school, with my fresh sneakers and brand new outfit, I felt like I could do anything! It’s so fun now to see my kids feel this surge of energy and confidence, too. Fast forward to today, as a working mom, I find first days of school are fairly stressful and exhausting. The first day photos, the getting up early, the walking to school, the new routines, the extra celebrations. If you think your first day of school good outfit vibes are over… think again! It’s the best gift when I hear my clients (also busy working execs) say they, too, got a compliment on their outfit…. “At school drop off on the last day, I was taking pictures of my kids by the front sign and as I was walking back to my car, a mom I didn't know stopped me and told me ‘You look so put together, you are going to kill it today!’” 🤫 Here’s the secret that even our kids don’t know… This one decision about what to wear each morning has the power to transform your day. (You can bet this exec mom floated through her day with a lot more confidence!)   Clothes are so much more than trends and status symbols. When you choose something that makes you feel amazing and honors your authentic self, they have the power to change how you feel, which in turn defines the results of your day.   Results like… ✨ Speaking up boldly in a meeting ✨ Knocking your presentation out of the park ✨ Having a tough conversation with an employee ✨ Introducing yourself to that person you need to connect with at the networking event ✨ Sticking to your health routine ✨ Tackling your most challenging tasks that move the needle, instead of the easy ones I could use more good outfit days like this if ⬆️ THIS ⬆️ is what it means for my personal and works results. Who remembers those first day of school good outfit vibes? #capsulewardrobe #personalstyle #style #stylist #workstyle #personalbranding #marketing #entrepreneur #publicspeaking #executivestyle

Never have I ever imagined that the world of water bottles would become so wild. The #Stanleytumbler craze has folks parting with their cash like it's going out of style. People in the USA are stampeding to get hold of its newly launched Valentine's Day $45 tumbler. And if the USA is following this trend then how can the rest of the world stay behind? #Veblen goods trance, where the more these things cost, the more we convince ourselves we absolutely need them has infected us so badly with no cure in sight. All of this has led Stanley’s revenues to skyrocket from $73 million in 2019 to an estimated $750 million in 2023. Stanley's just the latest celebrity in the water bottle scene, joining the ranks of #Nalgene, #Camelbak, Hydro flask, #Yeti, and the rest of the H2O glitterati. I am not even trying to figure out when a simple water bottle turned into a #fashion #accessory. I am just an average person with limited mental bandwidth and solving such deep mysteries is not my cup of tea. A decade ago, the industry decided men didn't need rugged bottles for adventures; instead, S’well led the charge by turning bottles into eco-chic accessories for women. So, what's the deal with these bottles as fashion statements? On TikTok, people parade their Stanley tumbler collections like they're the Crown Jewels, and we're left wondering why anyone needs so many bottles from a brand that boasts durability. The answer seems to be: it's all about fashion, darling. Coordinating your bottle with your outfit is the modern way to flex your social status. Back in 2010, Sarah Kauss, the mastermind behind S’well, realized bottles needed a glow-up. She transformed them from mere functional vessels into curvy, colorful accessories that #Vogue couldn't get enough of. Fast forward six years, and S’well was making $100 million annually. Other brands, like Hydro Flask, hopped on the bandwagon, targeting the #fashion-forward water drinkers. In the pursuit of sustainability, the water bottle market is set to explode, with brands like #Takeya, #Purifyou, and Purist elbowing their way to the front. This competition fuels aggressive marketing, limited-edition colors, and a serious case of FOMO, convincing us to buy yet another bottle even when our cupboards are drowning in them. Water bottle brands claim they're saving the planet, but reality check: owning a rainbow of bottles to match your OOTD isn't exactly eco-warrior behavior. Creating fancy stainless steel bottles takes more resources than slapping together a single-use plastic one. And when the love affair with your bottle fizzles out, it's likely headed to landfill city, contributing to the very problem these brands claim to be fighting. In a world where mindfulness should guide our choices, the water bottle craze seems like a hilarious detour into a land where sustainability takes a back seat to look fabulous while hydrating. Cheers to looking chic while saving the planet, one overpriced tumbler at a time! 🌈💧

Looking good on BUDGET! Yes or No? Lately, I’ve been rethinking my wardrobe for work and social outings. I decided to try out new styles to match the vibe I’m going for, and the positive comments have been rolling in! The best part? Most of the pieces I picked up cost no more than Rp. 200,000 (about $13 USD)! So, the secret to looking good isn’t about spending a fortune—it’s about these three simple things: 1. Keeping yourself clean and tidy 2. Good fashion sense 3. Confidence And here’s a little tip: once work is going well and want to explore higher-level brands, go ahead and elevate your wardrobe even more. But remember, it’s not just about the price tag; it’s about how you wear it overall and how you present yourself! ✅ FYI, this belt costed me Rp. 15,000 (it’s less than a dollar) 😄 #RachaelsJournal #WorkPeople #SmartShopping #BudgetFriendlyFashion #StyleTips
