Anti-Style Type: Street Walkin’ Sally

I’ll be first to admit that I lean more towards the modest side when it comes to style. When I do sexy, it’s subtle sexy all the way. No shade to my more sultry style types out there – when sexier styles are done right, it’s quite powerful. What I do have a hard time…

Anti-Style Type: Like-Me-For-Me Mary

People are judging you based on your appearance. I’ve said variations of that phrase about a million and a half times over the course of my career, and every time I say it someone gets pissed off. I’m not saying it’s right. I’m not saying that it’s fair. What I am saying is it’s true….

Are we having fun with this Anti-Style Type series or what?! I certainly am. I am pleasantly surprised to see so many “style awakenings” occurring as the result of this series – and we’re only two videos deep!

Anti-Style Type: Worn Out Wendy

A lot of people think that style is “fun,” but the truth is most people experience style as stressful, painful, and downright frustrating. We tell ourselves style isn’t important and we get defensive when someone tells us that it is. The whole point of this series isn’t to shame people with “bad style.” The goal…
