Woman Of Value

Here is the podcast, and in it, I share a story I repressed for over 30 years!

You’ll also get some makeup and styling tips.

Munro is going out of business

Munro is going out of business.

Last Chance for these Comfy Shoe Lovers!

One of my amazing clients told me that the shoe company I recommend to ALL of my clients is closing shop.

Munro is going out of business, and that is a shame.

They make shoes in widths, from narrow to triple-wide, that are extremely comfortable, very well made, and very friendly to various foot issues. 

The fit is not always consistent, so sometimes I’m a 9 M, 9.5 M, or 9 W, so I often need to try a few sizes, just like in clothes, to get the best fit.

Now is the time to get a pair or two on sale while they last. I just bought six pairs!

You can get them at Nordstrom, where you can return them, or at Munro.com, but there all sales are final.

I say Nordstrom is your best bet for now.

I will miss this brand soooo much.

Let me know if you’re a Munro devote, too.

Today, I also tucked my top in. This made my legs look even longer, and my middle and hips appear smaller. I can’t do this every day, but the pants are stretchy and my tummy was having a good day. lol

The difference is way more dramatic when trying on dresses.

The Perfect Trend To Follow

The Perfect Trend To Follow

At the start of every season, the fashion experts on TV and in magazines tell us what the “must haves” are for us to add to our closets. Perhaps it is a white shirt, black dress, tan trench coat, and animal print shoes or belt.

Oh, wait! Isn’t that what seems to be recommended to women practically every year, even though tan is a very unflattering color on many women, including myself?

Black is harsh on some others, and white can make some people’s skin tone look ghostly. Spellcheck may have changed ghastly to ghostly, but there isn’t much of a difference, right?

These experts typically represent a manufacturer or retailer and are there to encourage shopping. Trend purchases are often behind many of those price tags I see hanging in women’s closets on unworn purchases.

Actually, there are a few women who can pull off almost any look, but that is their personal style, and they typically work in the fashion field. These women would never be labeled a fashion victim as they are all about being on-trend and are in the business of doing so.

But if you are an entrepreneur, executive, stay-at-home mom, lawyer, speaker, writer, decorator, artist, volunteer, fundraiser, etc., you want your unique talents, personality, creativity, and self-confidence to shine, not the metallic top the fashion stylist on TV claimed you simply MUST wear.

No, you do not have to wear or buy the latest trend to look current or fashionable. Not following the current fad is a style in itself and one that I employ.

This does not mean dressing like you did 20 years ago, even though you may be lucky enough to still fit in your closet’s archives. Nor does dressing to be stylish and in style mean wearing crop tops or thigh-high boots, just because they are the ‘must haves ‘ of the season.

Even worse, is how much older we can look when wearing an outfit based on the hottest trend, instead of what works best for her body, age, and lifestyle.

Remember those low-cut pants that caused men, small children, and us ladies to gasp when the wearer bent over? At least with a plumber, it is worth the offense as we want our leaky faucet fixed, but it’s not so endearing when a woman bends down so we can see the manufacturer label of her underwear…or more! 😬

STYLING TIP – The key to looking stylish and confident isn’t about following trends—it’s about wearing what truly flatters you and makes you feel great. Your style should reflect your unique personality and lifestyle, not someone else’s idea of what’s in vogue.

And then she said:
“I used to feel frumpy and never knew what to wear, but now, when I wear the clothes Scarlett found for me, I feel confident, sexy, and, as per my friends, ”cute!” Now, I look forward to getting dressed in the morning!” – J.E

Two Women, One Great Dress!

Two Women, One Great Dress!
Seeing Double?

Two Women, One Great Dress!

Yes, you are seeing double, and here’s why.

I share a love for fashion exhibits with my long-time and amazing client, artist, and business coach, Jane Pollak. A few months ago, we made plans to meet at The Met in NYC and admire their latest exhibit.

Much to our delighted surprise, we wore the same dress.

So how did this happen you ask?

A few years ago, I recommended this teal Eileen Fisher dress you see above, to two clients for its versatility, comfort, and easy-peasy style.
EF keeps designing this dress in other colors because so much can be done with it, which gets me back to your seeing double.

After recommending this dress and seeing how great my clients looked in it, I had to get one myself, but it didn’t dawn on me to tell Jane I’d be wearing it for our museum day.

It turns out it didn’t matter because I styled the dress for Jane in at least five different ways, one of which was as in the above photo.

This dress can be styled classic, bohemian, sporty, romantic, and more, depending on your personality, lifestyle, and what looks best for your shape and features.

It can also be worn with a long-sleeved jacket or sweater and boots. Its versatility is endless.

Versatility is the key to having a closet filled with clothes you’ll love, more money in your bank, and not wasted on clothes you rarely, if ever, wear.

PS: The dress is now on sale in Tan and Fuchsia! The black is even more versatile, but not on sale.
