18. How To Master Online Shopping
Diary of a Midlife Woman
07/08/21 • 46 min
Online shopping has become the norm for many of us, but recently shopping from the comfort of our own homes has taken on a new level of importance. Yet shopping for clothing online can seem a bit tricky. The good news is, armed with the right tips and tools, your online shopping experience can have a much higher rate of success and the experience can be become more simple. Mastering online shopping can be easy when you follow these simple guidelines: 1/ Know Your Style Knowing your true style is half the battle. Many women can easily be influenced by a model who looks fabulous in an item, even if they know it’s not really their style. Know your look and what’s right for you and it will help you to pinpoint what styles are right for you. Not sure what your style is? Take our complimentary Style ID mini-quiz at https://shopstylefinder.com/pages/styleid-quiz 2/ Size Matters (or Does it?) While we can often get caught up in the size of something, what really matters is fit. 3/ Signature Silhouettes Knowing your measurements is only half of the equation. The other piece as it relates to size is your body type. Know your body type and how you’re built. When I work with my clients they each have their own Personal Image Blueprint with their Signature Silhouettes. This helps them to quickly and easily know what cuts to jump on and what to steer clear of. 4/ Details Matter Take time to notice all the details and be sure they will be right for you. This will go a long way to having only clothes that you love, rather than items that simply hang in your closet. 5/ Find a muse Finding models, whether on a LIVE show, a fit video or on a static image who are built like you will help you to know if the clothes will work for you. Online shopping has become so much more user-friendly in this day and age, so if you’re new to it don’t feel daunted. E-commerce merchants are here to make your experience one that is rewarding and are doing their best to offer all the information they can. When in doubt, message the vendor to find out more. And always be sure to ask about their return policy.

Episode 15. The REAL Reason Women Hate Shopping and How You Can Learn to Love It
Diary of a Midlife Woman
06/17/21 • 37 min
Do you love shopping or hate it? Regardless, it’s something we all have to do at some point in our lives and the more enjoyable it is, the less stressful it will be. Learning to enjoy shopping can help you cultivate good shopping habits that work for you, not against you. Starting by doing your homework can help you to make smart decisions and not become tempted by things you don’t need. Here are my suggestions to prepare you: 1. Make a list - Start by going through your closet to determine where there are “holes” in your wardrobe. Do you need the basics – a new suit, a few pairs of pants, great tee shirts – or do you need colorful accessories that will make our core items pop? 2. Three is the Magic Number - If you find yourself tempted by something that’s a great deal, ask yourself if you truly love how it looks on your body and if it’s something you’d pay full price for. If the answer is yes, and you can make 3 outfits with it then go for it! 3. Get the Munchies - Grab an energy bar or some trail mix and a bottle of water. You’ll need sustenance and don’t want to risk making a poor wardrobe decision if you’re feeling light-headed. 4. Know Thyself - Know what styles flatter your body best and stick with them. Don’t be afraid to try something new, but if you’ve learned that a certain cut doesn’t work on your body type, steer clear of it and stick with cuts that enhance your assets. 5. Color is Key - Know what colors are your most flattering tones. These will make you look your best and enhance your natural coloring. If you have had your colors done, take your palette with you. 6. Mix high-end and low-end - Shopping can be a fun game and shopping in a variety of stores helps you to create a look that’s all your own. You can mix items from Saks with something you found at
a consignment shop, or TJ Maxx, to great effect and no one will ever guess how much (or, rather, how little) you paid for it when the overall effect is nothing short of fabulous! Plus your look will have your personal stamp on it rather than looking like it’s right off the rack. The most fashionable ladies shop this way and it makes for a much more interesting effect overall! 7. Have a Strategy - Your core pieces are the ones you want to invest in, but seasonal trends are where you can get away with going budget. Trendy items won’t have the longevity of the classic items in your closet. Do a cost per wear analysis – divide the price by the number of times you think you’ll wear an item. For example, if you pay $30 for a dress, but only wear it twice, that’s $15 per wear. But if you find one you love for $300 and wear it 100 times over the course of 3 years, that’s $3 per wear.

1. Dress to Impress: 5 Essential Elements All Women MUST Know Before Getting Dressed
Diary of a Midlife Woman
03/29/21 • 26 min
When I was growing up my Dad used to say “dress to impress” and I took that to heart. But what does it really mean to dress to impress? Knowing what to wear can be far more difficult than just walking into a boutique and picking out an outfit. As a Master Style Coach since 2008, I’ve found that when women understand these 5 elements, they can get dressed quickly and easily. These are the fundamentals I’ve taught to thousands of women to help them look beautiful, feel confident and show up looking fabulous every single day! Key Points Discussed: 1/ The Power of Color Understand how color affects your mood, how others see you and one of the best colors you should be wearing right now. 2/ Dress for Your Body Type Too many women are making the mistake of dressing for the body they used to have and are missing the mark. They don’t realize that when they dress for the body they have right now, that the can visually take off 10 pounds or more! Every body is beautiful and there are no flaws, only ‘considerations’. 3/ Your Face Shape This determines everything from your neckline to the shoes you wear! Find out how... 4/ Your Personal Scale Discover my 4 personal scale categories to help you understand what size and how much jewelry to wear. This just may surprise you! 5/ Your Personal Style You have permission to only wear what YOU love! How to find your style and show up as the amazing woman you are! Want to find your style?
