The #1 Reason You Need a Signature Look

What you wear can influence your chances of business success.

Here’s Why You Need a Signature Look…

…Your Signature Look will affect your brand as perceived by others,

But,

More Importantly,

It will MAKE YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE!

  • You feel fulfilled and happy
  • You’re able to reach your goals and dreams – because productivity means that things that seemed impossible in the past are happening!

Designing a Signature Look is a very creative process that expresses your personality and suits your lifestyle.

 

Here are The Five Components of a Signature Look.

I. (Impact with color) – wear colors that make you look and feel younger – AVOID colors that cause you to look tired and your skin blotchy.

M. (Master your fit) – wear clothes that fit your body silhouette and proportion – AVOID clothes that cause you to look bigger and just add pounds.

A. (Add Accessories) – wear accessories that harmonize with your personal style – AVOID wearing too many accessories and looking like a fashion victim.

G. (Glam it up!) (Hair & Makeup) – wear a hairstyle that flatters your face shape & makeup that enhances your beauty – AVOID outdated styles and looks.

E. (Eat Clean & Exercise) – Learn to love your body and then make it BETTER! – KNOW your body type and its guidelines. Not every style suits every body type.

Bottom Line – Your clothes influence your performance.

3 Easy Ways To Look Instantly Less Frumpy

Do you live in fear of being Frumpy?  I can help you take it from frumpy to fabulous; so you will feel more confident and look amazing every day!

Here’s an email I received from JAMI (mother of 4  young kids who are with her 24/7) after she went to one of my workshops.

I feel like I now have the tools to help me as I dress.  I am in tears writing this because even though it seems so simple, it means a lot to me.  I don’t want to be that “frumpy” jeans and t shirt mom who doesn’t take the time for herself.  I know this is your passion and I just want you to know it’s been more of a blessing to me than you know!  I want to go through my closet and get rid of everything I know isn’t fit for me and give it away.  I can’t wait to begin to build my wardrobe up with things that flatter my body shape and skin tone.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

The Frumpy Factor –

Frumpy:  Dull, plain, unfashionable, old fashioned

Frumpy Clothes: Anything that doesn’t show you have a feminine shape…anything that makes you look bigger than you actually are…

 

If you are uncertain about the way you look, here are

THREE WAYS TO LOOK INSTANTLY LESS FRUMPY

Ditch the Baggy Tee and sweat pants

Running Shoes – Don’t wear gym shoes unless you are in the gym.  Look for other funky footwear options.

Long Cardigans & *Big Infinity Scarfs – Be careful if you are shorter than 5’4″, sometimes these can scream Frump City!

*If your neck is less than four fingers wide – no bulky scarfs! (I’ll wait while you check your neck)…

I have a short neck and if I wear a bulky scarf I look like I’m wearing a bedazzled neck brace.

If you LOVE LOVE LOVE scarfs but you have a short neck just wear them loose around your neck and pull them them down to open up the neck area; almost like a long necklace.

Here are some BEFORE and AFTER of beautiful ladies who participated in one of my workshops and took it from Frumpy to Fabulous!

The sweat suit by nature is Frumpy.

Running Shoes. Noooooo!!!!

Long shapeless Cardigan. Frumpy Dumpy!

Here’s what KELLY (Frumpy Dumpy Cardigan Kelly) had to say about her workshop experience:

Personally and Professionally I was in a slump.  Life just went on.  I learned how to dress better, how to apply makeup properly and make myself look and feel better.  Since going through Nancy’s program, I have increased my self-esteem and confidence…Nancy truly has made my life better.

Seven Things You Must Have In Your Closet – How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe

 

Imagine this is your entire wardrobe.

Would you like to know how to create 18 unique outfits with just 7 pieces?

It’s Simple.  It’s called a Capsule Wardrobe.

A Capsule Wardrobe is the best way to organize your wardrobe because it will give you a lot more outfits with just a few pieces.

 

Here’s what you need:

3 – *tops

3 – bottoms

1 – coordinating cover piece (jacket, cardigan, blazer, vest)

*All the tops should coordinate with all of the bottoms, but the tops don’t have to match each other.

 

Here’s how you do it:

On your bed, lay all seven pieces in a row starting with the three tops; then, next to them, lay the three bottoms in a row and then your cover piece.

Basically, you will start with the first top and partner it with the first bottom.  There is outfit number one.  Now add the cover piece.  There is outfit number two.

Now match the first top with the second bottom…. and so on and so on.

You will be able to create 18 wildly unique outfits by mix matching the seven pieces.

Now HAVE FUN with accessories that express your Style Personality.

Every capsule does not have to consist of 7 pieces and you can create more than one capsule, depending on your lifestyle.

Do you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear?

… Let me introduce you to an online academy for creating capsule wardrobes.

Five Secrets to a Successful Book Launch Party

Traditionally, authors have book signings and sit in a book store for four hours and sell a couple of books (average is 8 copies).  I decided to have a Book Launch Party (for 2 hrs.) and sold more than 50 books!

There were 5 fascinating details that I made sure to include in my Book Launch Party:

  1.  Venue – Somehow relate your venue to the vibe you’re trying to create.  I heard about a book launch at a chocolate store because the main character loved chocolate.  My book is about fashion and beauty and living a CONFIDENT fashionating lifestyle.  A waterfront steak and lobster restaurant was the perfect location for my party.  http://www.t-michaels.com They sponsored the event and offered free Appetizers and a cash bar.  A Sunday afternoon from 1-3 was the perfect day and time.
  2. Invitations – I had bookmarks made and mailed them (yes, U.S. Postal snail mail).  I used nextdayflyers.com.  When a guest receives a physical invitation, chances are they will save the date.  Create an Event on Facebook too and Invite and Share with everybody!
  3. Entertain Your Guests – I had a lipstick bar, complimentary hair styling (volunteers from a salon) and a roaming fashion show with several of the retailers in the shopping mall. http://www.venetianvillage.com  Tai Rambert, Ms. Florida was the Emcee of the fashion show.  She wore her sash and crown and my guests were excited to get photos with her. (Me too!) Think outside the box.  meandms.florida
  4. Speakers – Have one or two guests do a short Testimonial for you and a Book Review.  Then, you take the stage and talk about your book.  I thanked everyone for coming and for their support. Honestly, the hardest part of putting the book together was making sure that I remembered to acknowledge everybody.  I apologized to my audience and told them not to be offended if I didn’t acknowledge them in print and explained that when my mother died in 2013 (she had 7 brothers and sisters), I forgot to acknowledge one of her siblings in the obituary!  Oops! Now that you’re an author, you’ll need to sharpen your speaking skills.  I recommend Toastmasters.  It’s a nonprofit educational organization that helps with public speaking. http://www.toastmasters.org  After the speeches, I had a line of people wanting to get their Autographed copy! signingbooks
  5. Giveaways – The shopping mall put together a Swag Bag for the first 50 guests.  It was filled with a water bottle, beach ball, a hat, a pen, a map of the mall and coupons from a couple of the merchants.  I reached out to local business women and asked them if they wanted to add some promotional items to the bag, as well.  The crowd favorite was the Chance Raffle that I did for a pair of Designer COACH Sunglasses.  Everyone that purchased a book from me during the event had their name put in a raffle to win the sunglasses. (I had actually won the glasses in a raffle the week before and they “weren’t my color” so I was happy to pass them on).  Do you know your best color?  Step One of The Fashionating Life Formula:  How to Build Your Self Confidence is Color Analysis.

Overall, it was a successful event and a great way to launch my book tour.  Next stop, locally owned coffee shop for my “Learn How to Espresso Yourself” Book Signing/Styling Event!

Special thanks to Melissa (Marketing Director) at Venetian Village, Naples, FL; for her generosity and expertise.  Without her, I would have been sitting in a book store….
