It is possible to feel stylish and comfortable. Use these tips to create a style you are comfortable in.
1. Ask yourself why you are unhappy with the way you look? How does your look make you feel? There is a way to counteract those negative feelings with clothing, while being comfortable and staying true to who you are.
2. If you feel unattractive, you are focusing on the wrong things. Find the parts of your body that you like (If you can’t find them, ask a friend) and learn how to accentuate them.
3. Make an effort to learn about your body type. We are all different shapes and sizes, which means we will not all fit into the same pair of pants. Learn about fits and designers that work best for you.
4. If comfort is key, be realistic about your lifestyle when making clothing choices. If you are on your feet all day wear a fashionable flat or kitten heel. Save your amazing new platform pumps for a dinner that includes valet.
5. Clothing effects the way you feel about yourself and changes the way you are perceived by others. With that in mind, only buy clothing you love.

5 Tips & Tricks About Bras
1. Give your bra a rest. Wearing your bra more than two days in a row wears out the support elastic. A day of rest will give it a chance to recover its memory.
2. When you purchase your bra it should fit snuggly on the loosest hook. As the bra ages you can tighten it using the remaining hooks to maintain the original fit.
3. Get fitted at least once a year. Breast size fluctuates due to many factors like age, weight gain/loss, and pregnancy.
4. Try your bras on before you purchase them. Bras are like clothing, every brand will fit a little differently.
5. Quality vs. quantity pays off.
New Bra, Now What?
Now that you have a new bra, use your clothing to accentuate your chest in the most flattering way.
1. If you have a large chest use a v-neck to visually separate “the girls,” making you appear slimmer.
2. Halter tops are a small chest’s best friend. The angle of the halter flatters a small chest and gives you an opportunity to show off sexy shoulders.
3. Just say no to thick stripes and ribbing across your chest. A large chest makes the stripes and ribbing look more like ocean waves.
4. Choose clothing that conceals your bra straps.
5. Use fitted jackets to create and show off a waistline giving you a defined hourglass shape.
I recently read a magazine article that inspired me to start this blog. The article asks the question, “Can we be comfortable in our clothes, and at the same time, feel attractive and happy with the way we look?” It went on to wonder how the average woman could ever find style and happiness with themselves if a woman like Oprah is guilty of forgoing comfort in the name of fashion.
I believe every woman can feel confident, comfortable, and stylish in her clothing. Often we hide behind frumpy clothing in the name of comfort. What most women don’t understand is they can be both comfortable and fashionable, it just takes a little bit of effort and is far from impossible. My services help women find a balance between comfort and fashion that makes them feel happy and self-confident.
This blog will provide great style tips and tricks. Look and feel great every time you walk out the door. Don’t settle for anything less.

More often than not, each piece of your brand image was created when you needed it, but not altogether in a strategic fashion. Your image may look fine, but does fine help you grow?
Eventually as you scale, your image foundation cracks, and the way your business presents itself no longer helps propel growth – costing you time and money to fix.
