How to Dress For Your Lifestyle

The other day I was talking with a new client, and we discovered that her biggest need is to get some clothes that will really work for her lifestyle.  This got me thinking…clothes for lifestyle needs, clothes that fit how you really live your life, is a pretty common need for most of my clients. So I thought I’d talk about How to Dress for Your Lifestyle.  It can be so easy to gravitate toward the kind of clothes we’re most comfortable in or used to wearing.  Now you may be thinking, “What’s wrong with that, Dana?” I wouldn’t say [..] read more

The Power of Wardrobe Planning

Wardrobe planning…sounds a little boring, huh? But consider this scenario. Have you ever gotten an invitation to a wedding and your first was “what will I wear?” But the wedding isn’t for 5 more weeks…” I have plenty of time to shop for a dress.” Fast forward to one week before the wedding. Of course, you rsvp’d, but um, hello, you got busy (life as normal, right?) Now you’re on a hunt for a dress.

Self-Care is such a buzz phrase these days. I’ll agree…it’s so important to take care of yourself and perhaps even more important love yourself just as much as others love you!

Today I offer up 5 things to consider when you’re looking for new comfortable duds or deciding what to wear out of your closet to be as comfy as possible. [..] read more

Makin’ a list, Checkin’ it twice

Sure, “makin’ a list” sounds like a holiday reference! And yes, I couldn’t survive this holiday season without my list of all the gift ideas I have and if they were bought or not. As valuable as gift lists are, what I’m talking about here is your shopping list. I confess—before I learned all this image/wardrobe stuff, I went shopping without any kind of list or plan. And just to be even more transparent, I shopped a lot when I was single. (I guess I was hoping to meet prince charming at the mall, lol!) I’d walk into a store, browse [..] read more
