(and you will look great, too)!
Just found out you are expecting,
or a few-months in and looking to spice up your maternity wardrobe?
A couple years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter I remember wondering if designers who make maternity clothes think women quit their jobs immediately upon hearing they are pregnant in order to sit at home in casual frocks eating bon-bons.
Seriously people! ……Being pregnant doesn’t mean you don’t want to look chic and professional.
Here are some closet additions to keep your pregnancy wardrobe versatile, professional, and fun!

It may sound odd but some of my biggest fans are men. It’s because I’ve helped the women in their lives feel fantastic about the way they look. This in turn is the greatest gift for a man!
“Honey, how do I look?” is a question no man wants to hear. There’s no good answer. And if the answer starts with a bit of a pause it doesn’t matter what he says, you’re going to change clothes. It’s a lose-lose situation for the man in your life, and unnecessary frustration for you.
In honor of Father’s Day I want to make it really easy to give your man the gift he really wants…
YOU feeling confident about the way you look.
Feeling confident about the way you look means no more…
Yes, it might seem odd to treat yourself in honor of Father’s Day but I know that when you feel fantastic it affects everyone around you in amazing ways. I’ve been contacted by so many husbands thanking me for making getting dressed so much easier and fun for their wives.
In honor of all the amazing Dads (and men) out there, I’m going to help make getting dressed super easy for you. Until Sunday at midnight, my Virtual Style Consultation is available to you for only $47. (That’s more than half off the regular price of $99!!)
That’s the cost of buying one shirt that you never end up wearing, or just never looks right. Kick that habit to the curb and discover how to achieve style you really love. I guarantee it’s easier than you think!
Don’t wait, get your Virtual Style Consultation. Use coupon code FATHER to get your fabulous Father’s Day deal! Hurry, you’ve only got until Sunday!
Not sure if a Virtual Style Consultation is right for you? Don’t hesitate to contact me at lee@stylewithlee.com and we’ll discuss what’s best for you.
Here’s to your style,
Lee
PS. Check out the rave reviews from some of my clients’ husbands.
“Ever since my wife’s closet edit she has been much happier about her clothing. Buying clothes was always a source of frustration for her. Since her edit she has come back from her shopping trips smiling and showing off her clothes; a major improvement. I have noticed a dramatic difference in my wife’s appearance since her closet makeover. I feel like she has always dressed as if she is much older than she really is. Her new clothes are more colorful and fun, making her appear younger and more vibrant. Not only do I think my wife’s outfits are significantly improved, she does as well. Her attitude towards her new look has been really refreshing. It is great to see her so happy about her clothing.”
– Michael Broadway – Mt. Pleasant, SC
I truly benefited from the closet edit I gave my wife with Lee. Our closet has never been so organized and enjoyable. The style advice you gave my wife has increased her confidence and saved me money! Thank you for all of your help.”
– Andy Johnston – Chapel Hill, NC
As you get ready for a fun summer make sure your closet has these ten versatile must-haves!

Things are definitely different around my house since having a child. I am no longer the first one to read my Harper’s Bazaar Magazine. As you can see from the picture I’ve got some competition. And I find myself at home on a lot more Saturday nights.
Last Saturday I was ecstatic to finally have time to edit my own closet. I gave away two bags of clothes that no longer worked for me. It wasn’t because they were out of style or didn’t fit; they just no longer helped me create the style I want.
I share this with you because sometimes the thought of going through your closet and getting rid of things causes feelings of guilt and overwhelm. There’s no shame or wastefulness in getting rid of clothing that isn’t currently serving you. You can donate or even consign your clothes and let someone else enjoy what no longer works for you.
Spring is around the corner and it’s a great time to reflect on whether or not the clothes in your closet are the ones for you. It’s actually a very easy process. All you need to know are the four closet edit questions.
The FOUR Closet Edit Questions
These four simple questions make going through your closet a simple and easy process. The key is to be honest and disciplined about what you want. Hold up an item in your closet and ask yourself the following questions:
If you don’t answer “YES!” for each question you know that particular item isn’t working for you. Consider donating it, consigning it, or working with a stylist to find out to make an item something you love to wear.
Make sure your skirts are ready for fall with great tights. They are a great way to jazz up your favorite dress or skirt and can help you stay warm. Be sure your tight wardrobe includes . . .
Try the reversible option from SPANX. You get two tights in one.
When you need a tight that will go with absolutely anything a nude tight is the way to go. Choose a small fishnet or pattern to add a little pizzazz.
Why not add a little more fun to your basic tight with a small pattern.
Show your style personality with a tight that has bold color or big pattern. It’s a great way to change up a neutral sweater dress or solid skirt.
Have a great tight recommendation? Don’t keep it a secret, comment below.
At some point in my early adolescence I read that redheads were supposed to steer clear of wearing the colors red and pink. I was told that fall colors were always a better choice for me. Yes, fall colors were very flattering but I felt disadvantaged at having the option of wearing red or pink taken away from me. My friends could wear red—why not me?
What I didn’t know then, and feel the need to shout from the treetops now, is that you can wear any color you want. How? Every color exists in many different shades. If pastel pink washes you out then look for a more saturated pink that is more flattering for your skin tone. I know now that certain shades of pink and red can look great. I have to be willing to hold them up to my face and see how they look. I encourage you to do the same.
With so much bold color everywhere you turn for spring, it’s time to feel confident wearing color! Take a chance and experiment with color.
Make Your Wardrobe Bloom with Color
With each new season comes an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe—and one of the easiest ways to do this is with color. This Spring you will find colorful hues such as coral, berry, turquoise, lilac, and red everywhere you turn. Have some fun and experiment with these easy ways to incorporate new colors into your wardrobe this Spring.
 |
Play with color in a print. Have some fun and step out in a dress with both color and pattern. This is an instantly put together look and all you have to do is put it on. |
| Use Black & White to tone down a bold color. If you have a dress or skirt in a bold color that you want to seem less bright, pair it with a black and white top or cardigan. This can also give your dress a completely different look. |  |
 |
Add color and pizazz with your jewelry. You can take a plain white t-shirt from drab to fab simply by adding a bright colored necklace. Jewelry with bold color is an easy way to participate in your favorite color trend of the season. |
| Slip it on. Every color shoe is flattering to your feet. Forget worrying about what colors you can and cannot wear and rock a shoe in a color you love. Choose a shoe in a color like red or turquoise and you’ll be able to wear it with practically everything in your wardrobe. |  |

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.
When you unlock your brand power, you get to pick and choose how people perceive you and your brand.
Our Image Mastery System™ takes the 5 key brand components that you already have and ties them together in a way that amplifies your results and achieves your vision.
