If you’ve listened to more than one episode of this podcast, you’ll know that I talk a lot about being intentional about the clothes you buy and wear. In particular, I discuss getting dressed with intention and being purposeful about honing and developing your style.
However, there’s another aspect of style where intentionality is essential—and it’s one that often gets overlooked—and that’s wardrobe building. Have you ever considered the process you use to get clothes into your closet?
If you’re petite and tired of struggling to find clothes that fit, this episode is for you! I had the opportunity to sit down with petite style expert Angela Foster and get her best style tips for women under 5’4″.
I loved Angela’s philosophy and perspective on style. We both come from a place of wanting to help women feel amazing about themselves, and know that a fabulous outfit is a great place to start.
Today, we’re looking at some of the countless style typing systems on the internet, each one promising an easy way for us to get dressed and love the results. But do they actually help, or do they leave us feeling more confused than we were before?
I’ve got some issues with these highly specific, incredibly detailed typing systems, but if they’ve worked for you, I’m thrilled!
In this episode, I talk about my personal experiences with one of the more high-profile systems, The Kibbe Body Type System. This is an array of thirteen style types based largely on a person’s balance of yin and yang. After spending hours exploring this system, I was hopelessly lost and confused!
That you need a whole new wardrobe.
That there are clothes or colors you "can't" wear.
That you need to become someone you're not, just to have good style.
I believe your wardrobe should make life easier, not be another thing on your to-do list. And I believe every little win-from finding the perfect jeans to getting compliments from strangers-is worth celebrating.
