How To Layer Clothes for Fall: Avoid Looking Like a Bag Lady

When the temperature drops, it’s all about pumpkin spice and layering.

Layering your clothing is a tried and true way to maximize your comfort in the outdoors.

Layering is a technique.

BEWARE

“There is a fine line between layering and looking like the homeless woman who is wearing everything she owns!” (The Fashionating Life Formula: How to Build Your Self-Confidence)

The Biggest Mistake I see women making when they layer their clothes is looking bigger than they really are.

Here is the Secret to Layering:

Pick items that are varying lengths.

When your clothes are all the same length, they are going to look too puffy.

A jacket, sweater & shirt that are all different lengths will help you avoid this and create a much slimmer style.

Tell me… is your appearance important to you?  Are you projecting the look you want or are your clothes boring with no real sense of style?

Finally, How many times have you said “No” to an activity or social event due to low confidence?

If you want to be more confident but don’t know how, I have a book for you.

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.

What is Shiny Object Syndrome? (and is there a cure?)

What is “Shiny Object Syndrome”?  S.O.S. is the tendency for someone to get distracted by new thoughts and ideas, their own and others, and never focus or complete anything!

In effect, the solopreneur is in such a state of constant distraction that they continually lose themselves in imagination & dreaming, instead of seeing the bigger picture and getting things done.

S.O.S. will commonly result in procrastination even chronic procrastination and a constant sense of unease and dissatisfaction at not being able to move forward.

S.O.S. results in one or more unfinished projects that often times, they would be better off focusing on to actually make real progress.  This is probably one of the toughest challenges any new solopreneur has to overcome.

Here’s your Prescription!

F.O.C.U.S.

Follow. One. Course. Until. Successful.

Concentrate your effort and energy on what’s important.  YOU BECOME EFFECTIVE BY BEING SELECTIVE.

If you want your life to have impact, FOCUS IT!!!

As solopreneurs we need an incredible amount of discipline and focus to stay on course, because it’s easy to wander.  The challenge is to remain focused and disciplined in a solopreneur world.  

 

PS – Proof that S.O.S. is real, while creating this post – I was distracted and had a thought about lipstick…  Did you know that the average woman consumes 6 lbs of lipstick in a lifetime?  Allow me to offer you a Beauty Tip so you will be the shiny object that others are attracted to.

Lipstick Tip:  Light colors with “shimmer” or “shine” enhance thin lips best.

Was this helpful?  I challenge you to stay on path.  I would like to hear from you – Please COMMENT below and SHARE your experiences so we can all stick together and support each other with S.O.S.

Kisses!
