Three Ways to Strengthen Your Brand With Your Style

October 1, 2017 No Comments

Every day you make the decision to get out of bed, get dressed and step outside. So fortunately, every day you have the opportunity to strengthen your brand.

Did you know that your clothes are the most powerful non-verbal tool that you have?

That means that your clothes are your power tools and your closet is like your tool box.

Style is “self expression”

Style is how you speak to the world without words. It’s how you visually present your inner self.

Being stylish is about embracing your individuality and radiating that spirit in your work, relationships, and everywhere else.

Creating your own personal brand can increase your self-confidence and your connection with others, heightening your presence and ultimately leading to personal and professional success.

Here are three ways to use beauty and fashion as tools of self-expression to create your own personal brand.

1. Do your hair.

Your hair is your crowning glory. Your most important accessory. Pick a style that reflects your personality, complements your face shape and your body frame.

2. Makeup your face.

Makeup enhances your natural beauty. You don’t need to wear a full face of makeup (unless you want to) but a little mascara makes your eyes look captivating + the right color lipstick will boost your mood and make your eyes sparkle.

3. Put some thought into your outfit.

Think three pieces. A top, a bottom and a cover piece (i.e., jacket, cardigan, vest) – it’s that third element that bumps up your outfit to the next level and truly expresses your personal brand.

I want to encourage you to put your best self together (do your hair, makeup your face, and put some thought into your outfit).

IMAGINE how you would feel if you had a wardrobe that excited you and made you shine?

When you walk into a room I want you to feel self-assured and comfortable about how you look, because your clothes accurately support and express who you are.

When you feel good about the way you look, you do better, you sparkle and people take notice.

You already have style – it may just need a little guidance.

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

September 4, 2017 No Comments

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.

Introducing…

The Fashionating Life Formula: How to Build Your Self-Confidence.

In these pages you’ll discover:

How to identify and develop your personal image
How to take care of your skin and put your best face forward
How to get healthy and increase your happy factor
Why your image impacts your income, your outcome and your overall happines
How to build your wardrobe and your bank account

Break the Rules! The Right Way to Wear White After Labor Day

September 2, 2017 No Comments

Yes! You can wear white after Labor Day Ladies. Just make sure it’s YOUR white.

HOW THE RULE GOT STARTED

In the early 1900’s the rule about ‘not wearing white after Labor Day’ was started by the upper class, where there was a dress code for every occasion and strict guidelines.

They could afford to live the summer months by the sea – where they had light, bright, pieces (a completely different wardrobe). After Labor Day they packed up and went back to their “real life” wardrobe, so the cut off for wearing white clothing became Labor Day.

The rule no longer applies, (unless you were born in the early 1900’s, upper class, with a summer home by the sea).

I BELIEVE wearing white has nothing to do with the Weather or Where You Live.

It has everything to do with which white looks BEST ON YOU – everyday – everywhere – all year long.

Here’s an example:

I live in Sunny Southwest Florida ( where it looks and feels like summer all year long)

I have a completely different wardrobe than my friends and family in Chicago.

When the kids go back to school, the weather changes and then all of a sudden I’m supposed to be drinking pumpkin spice, wearing an orange scarf with black riding boots and jeans?

Nooooo!!!! When I visit my northern friends in the Fall, yes, I will be drinking pumpkin spice, but I’m wearing an ivory scarf with light blonde booties and jeans.

Why? Ivory is my best white; and light blonde booties match my hair. (Link to blog post: How to Stay Attractive – Fall 2017 Fashion Must-Haves for Women over 50)

LET’S FIND YOUR BEST WHITE.

The color of your hair, your skin tone and the color of your eyes determines which White will make you look radiant or washed out. Your Color Code.

There are six Color Code categories: Light, Deep, Soft, Clear, Warm and Cool.

YOUR BEST WHITE:

Light – Pure White or Ivory
Deep – Pure White or Ivory
Soft – Ivory
Clear – Pure White
Warm – Pure White is never good on you. So wear Ivory or Cream.
Cool – Always better in Pure White

ONCE YOU KNOW your best white you can wear it all year long with CONFIDENCE!

How To Stay Attractive – Fall 2017 Fashion Must-Haves for Women Over 50

August 30, 2017 No Comments

Did you know that the number one thing women fear most about aging is losing attractiveness and becoming invisible?

Girlfriend! No more muumuus or ugly grandma sweaters for you this Fall!

My mission is to help you reclaim your radiance and relevance – no matter how many wrinkles, rolls or regrets you have!

Let’s get you looking and feeling fantastic and stylish with these 4 Fall MUST-HAVES:

Skip the orthopedic granny shoes. Find a pair of comfortable boots/booties that match the color of your hair.

2. Know your color palette. Do yourself a favor and figure out which colors you can wear and which to avoid.

Find a fashion scarf in your ‘pop’ color to brighten your wardrobe and your face.

3. Wear fitted clothing. Baggy clothes can make you look a bit on the heavier side.

Find a lightweight jacket or sweater that fits you right and accentuates your natural curves.

4. Choose the right pair of jeans. Find a pair of great fitting jeans that fit your lifestyle, budget & figure.

Shop at stores for mature women.

The goal is to look modern, elegant and chic – not Forever 21.

Happily Ever After – Five Habits of a Happy Wife

July 17, 2017 No Comments

June through September is Wedding Season. (It used to be my busiest time – as a Bridal Makeup Artist).

Recently, I love seeing all the new marriage announcements on social media BUT mostly excited about the Wedding Anniversary shout-outs!

While June through September is considered wedding season, January is the busiest month for Divorces.

I know, because before I was a bridal makeup artist, I was a paralegal in Family Law.

I’ve been with women on the first day of their marriage and on the last day of their marriage.

(I much prefer to be with them on the first day!)

Now I help women over 40 look their best EVERY DAY and face midlife issues with style & confidence.

I stand for married women to be happy, beautiful wives; not angry, ugly ex-wives.

No fashion or beauty tips today – – just some relationship encouragement.

Here is what I read from Joyce Meyer that inspired me to write this post:

“Many couples get stumped when trying to work on their marriage because men and women are so different.

It helps to understand that God made us different on purpose.

Do not confuse weaknesses with differences.

We are to help build each other’s frailties, but we are not called to change one another’s differences….

If you do not work on your marriage, you will not have a good one.”

Four Years ago I was not a happy wife. I ran away from home for five days.

Since then, I’ve restored my marriage; and I’d like to share with you the Five Habits of a Happy Wife that I practice everyday.

Here are the FIVE HABITS OF A HAPPY WIFE (That Divorce Attorneys Don’t Want You to Know)

Keep Up Appearances.
Take Care of Your Health
Balance Your Time
Reclaim Your Own Life
Educate Yourself

So whether you are a new bride or you’ve been married for some time, I PROMISE if you implement these habits into your life, you will be a HAPPY WIFE!

Happy Wife = Happy Life.

If you’ve come to the middle of your life and you’re not happy with the way you look, the way you feel,

or you’ve asked yourself, “Should I stay? or Should I go?”

NOW is the time to ‘adjust your invisible crown’ and reinvent yourself so you can look good, feel great and live happily ever after (on a daily basis)!

If this is YOU, and you know you’re going to need some help with this – please email me at nancy@nancyjoseph.com. I know how you feel. I felt the same way; and I want to share the Complete FREE Checklist with you.

Wonder Woman Has Me Like – The Power of Personal Development & Accessories

July 3, 2017 No Comments

Wonder Woman knows the Power of Personal Development and the Power of Accessories.

This past weekend I saw the Wonder Woman movie. It’s a LONG movie; 2 hours and 45 minutes.

I sat through the entire movie, eating popcorn, drinking water and NEVER got up to pee!

I ALWAYS get a seat on the isle at the movies because I ALWAYS get up to pee. (That’s just what you do when you’re in your 50’s).

Did you know there is an APP that tells moviegoers when to pee? It’s called Runpee.com (How cool is that?!!)

Anyways, I’ve never been a fan of Wonder Woman. Maybe it’s because she was a brunette? I related more to the blonde, Bionic Woman.

(I’m a fan now!)

IN THE MOVIE she discovers her full powers and true destiny.

A couple of accessories and she made quite an Impact!

Below is a link to a FREE Guide: 5 Steps for Women over 40 to Look Good & Feel Great

Step 3 is all about ACCESSORIES.

You will Discover:

How to increase Your ATTRACTIVENESS and CONFIDENCE.
How to make an IMPACT and Make Your Mark on the World.
and Much More!

Are you afraid of looking like the OLD LADY wearing all the noisy bangles, necklaces, obnoxious hat, the go-go boots and the glasses hanging from a bedazzled chain around her neck?

No fear!!!

I want to share with you what one of my coaching clients, Dr. Rosemary, said:

“…It’s been a long time since I cared what I looked like because I felt like I was a lost cause…”

She had the same fears you have, and I was able to help her by teaching her the formula to refashion her life and turn her middle years into the best years of her life!

Here’s the thing: It’s more than just throwing on a necklace.

Unlike Wonder Woman, it takes more than wrist cuffs to look your best, discover your full powers and true destiny.

How Not To Look Old – The Three-Bling Rule

June 26, 2017 No Comments

Too many of us make the mistake of piling on every shiny, glitzy, fancy thing we own when we get dressed for evening or a wedding.

It’s easy to overdo it.

Here’s an easy fashion rule to follow:

THE THREE-BLING RULE.

You need to count up your bling, because you are allowed only three bling points.

Sparkly dress (2 bling points)
bold necklace (1 bling)
earrings (1 bling)
shimmery metallic sandals (1 bling)
cocktail ring (1 bling)
shoes or bag (1 bling)
jeweled cuff bracelet (1 bling)

Remember that location matters: You don’t want to use two bling points in close proximity.

Congratulations! You look gorgeous!

I have a great way to help you gauge whether you’re wearing the right amount of accessories every day.

Here’s the thing: It’s more than just throwing on a necklace.

There is a 16 Pt. Accessory RULE.

I learned about the 16 Pt. Accessory Rule from one of my mentors, Shari Braendel (Fashion Meets Faith), who learned it somewhere along the road of her fashion career.

This is a method where you add (or subtract) points for exactly what you are wearing. The object is to reach 16 points when you are finished.

Dress to Impress – How to Know if Your Dress is Too Short/Long

March 6, 2017 No Comments

How short is too short? How long is too long?

There’s a fine line between stylish —————- and unstylish.

Getting the right length, but also the right fit and shape, can make all the difference between looking fabulous or looking frumpy.

Let’s talk hemlines.

How to choose the right hem length for your body.

To determine your best length, stand in front of a full-length mirror, heels together, toes pointing toward 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock.

Check to see where your legs touch and where they don’t.

The places on your legs where your legs don’t touch, or rather the “openings” in the legs, are called “diamonds” in your legs.

Make sure all lengths, including skirts, dresses, shorts, capris, cropped pants and cuffed jeans end in the center of the diamond.

Note: The openings will vary depending on the shoes you are wearing.

The bottom line is wearing a dress of the right style and ideal length to suit your body type is sure to make you feel beautiful and look fabulous!

How to Plan Your Weekly Wardrobe in 5 Minutes

February 10, 2017 No Comments

Do you ever plan your outfits in advance? Or do you stand in front of your full closet, every morning, and say: “Help me, Jesus! I have nothing to wear!”?

If you want to wake up every morning feeling relaxed, confident and inspired, then you need an outfit planning process.

Here is a fast and easy way to plan your power outfits for the week. (It only takes 5 minutes of your Sunday night.)

Decide on a color palette (2 to 4 colors) and choose seven pieces.

Choose 3 tops, 3 bottoms and a coordinating cover piece (i.e, cardigan, vest, blazer)

All the tops should match all the bottoms but all the tops don’t have to match each other.

Monday wear Top #1 with Bottom #1 (with the cover piece)

Tuesday wear Top #2 with Bottom #2

Wednesday wear Top #3 with Bottom #3 (with the cover piece)

Thursday wear Top #1 with Bottom #2

Friday wear Top #2 with Bottom #1

Saturday wear Top #3 with Bottom #2

Sunday wear Top #1 with Bottom #3 (with the cover piece)

There are actually 18 wildly unique outfits possible with those seven pieces. It’s called a capsule wardrobe.

If you want to know more about simplifying your outfit choices and mixing and matching everything, be sure to check out Step Ten: CAPSULE WARDROBE from The Fashionating Life Formula

Now your morning rush is less stressful and you will be dressed to impress! Have fun creating your success through your personal style!
