Color Analysis: Summer vs. Spring
After working in Color Analysis Indianapolis services for 13 years, I’ve seen a variety of approaches. Before settling on my current color analysis system, I trained with three others. They were all very similar, but the system I use today has more choices and goes beyond the basic four seasons. This helps because there’s often […]
A Stylist’s Guide to Buying the Right Suit
For many men, buying a suit is a rare occasion and is often tied to a big life moment like an interview, wedding, funeral, or an important meeting. But whether you wear a suit daily or just a few times a year, investing in the right one makes a lasting impression. The difference between looking […]
Men’s Accessories that Add Style and Pizazz!
As trends come and go, I always advise clients not to throw out classics they may reach for in another season. While styles do change and updates are required over time, a good classic tie and pocket square are standout accessories you always need. As a Men’s Personal Stylist, I believe they can be great […]
How to Dress a Tall, Thin Man!
Tall, thin people are envied by most of us. They seemingly eat whatever they want, stand out in a room, and can wear a wide range of styles. But they have style challenges just like the rest of us. Without the right approach, clothes may hang too loose or make individuals look taller and leaner […]
Dressing the Triangle Shape!
If you have a triangle-shaped body—also known as a pear shape—your silhouette features narrower shoulders, a more defined waist, and fuller hips or thighs. The key to dressing this shape is all about creating visual balance. That means drawing the eye upward, emphasizing the waist, and streamlining the lower half. To help you accomplish this, […]
Packing for a Summer Beach Trip!
Many of you might be squeezing in one more beach vacation before the end of summer. Good for you! I do love the beach, but my husband only tolerates it! I’ve been married nearly 25 years, so we have learned to compromise by going to a beach with an umbrella and chair rental. My husband […]
Beyond Style: Sunglasses Are Important!
As an Indiana Personal Stylist who consistently studies style and helps people improve their style game, I have always been a fan of sunglasses. I believe they are a pivotal style accessory, especially in the summer when we are less likely to wear the perfect blazer because it’s so hot and humid. It’s amusing to […]
Microplastics: What They Are and Why They Matter
I had never really thought that much about microplastics until a few months ago when two different clients mentioned that they did not want microplastics in their clothing. I interpreted that to mean clothing made of pure fibers such as cotton, linen, and wool rather than polyester and other synthetics. So I made it my […]
Wider Leg Pants Are Here to Stay
Through my discussions with clients I’ve noticed there is no consensus about wider leg pants. It seems that women either really like them and have begun buying them or don’t like them at all and have been staying with skinny leg pants. Despite being a Personal Image Consultant, I am somewhere in the middle. The […]
Is Your Closet Calling You?
I recently left home for nearly two weeks and when I returned it was suddenly summertime in Indiana! Even as a professional Indiana Wardrobe Stylist, I had failed to clean out the heavy winter clothing in my closet or arrange summer staples. This moment reminded me of the importance of evaluating what’s in your closet […]
