The Spring 2023 Trends report is my favorite post of the year to write! Why? Because I’m a spring and summer gal! The colors are brighter; we get to lighten up, and life just gets easier when it’s sunny and warm outside. And I absolutely love sharing trends you can use to update your wardrobe—-even if you just need a little inspo to shop your closet, too! Today, I’m sharing my favorite spring 2023 trends, but you can be sure I’ll hook you up with more trends as we get further into the season. As always, I look for professional [..] read more

A winter, wool coat for all

When the mercury dips, a wool or wool blend coat is a great choice of topper to ward off the chill and look stylish. Before I started Elements of Image, I lived in Southern California for a few years. Not once while living there did I need a wool coat. (Or any coat; a leather jacket was the heaviest.) Not being a coat person in the first place, I convinced myself that because the sun is so warm in my car, and I wear a lot of jackets while driving anyway, I didn’t need a winter coat.

Culottes, a Tricky, New Wardrobe Basic

I almost always have my clients [..] read more

Can you make a good first impression in 3 seconds? Studies show people start forming impressions of others within a mere 3 seconds of seeing them. It’s not judging. It’s simply human nature! Our eyes take in the information and our brains go to work. We’re truly not even making these decisions consciously. As a Denver image and wardrobe consultant, I was astounded the other day when I saw this article on Linked In. The accompanying picture was of a man in a business suit wearing a backpack and was titled “Backpacks are for Boys, Not Businessmen.” It had almost [..] read more
