In this insightful and uplifting episode, I chat with Alison Bruhn about the empowering effects of personal style. Alison shares her journey from being a first-grade teacher and stay-at-home mom to a successful personal stylist in NYC. We discuss the importance of self-care, daily affirmations, and how understanding your body type can completely transform your wardrobe choices. Plus, Alison provides practical tips on dressing for your age and body type, investing in quality basics, and making thoughtful purchases. Whether you're looking to revamp your style or simply want to feel more confident in your appearance, this episode offers valuable advice for women of all ages.

5 Key Lessons:

1. Affirmation & Self-Care: Alison emphasizes the power of daily affirmations and dedicating time to self-care. Your personal appearance significantly impacts your self-esteem and how others perceive you.

2. Body Type Fundamentals: Understanding your body type is crucial for selecting flattering clothing. Alison's courses teach you how to dress for your specific body shape, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable.

3. Wardrobe Essentials: Invest in quality basics that form the foundation of your wardrobe. Items like a well-fitting black dress, white button-down shirts, and comfortable t-shirts can be versatile and timeless.

4. Tailoring and Fit: Proper tailoring is essential for a polished look. Ensure your clothing fits well by investing in alterations that adjust the waist and leg sizes to your body's proportions.

5. Rediscovery vs. Reinvention: Alison encourages focusing on rediscovering and refining yourself rather than complete reinvention. Emphasize self-care, embrace your current body, and celebrate who you are today.
