Getting "dressed" made easy!

What can you wear that instantly feels good, looks good and doesn’t need matching tops and bottoms?

My favorite clothing item- a dress!

I am over the moon excited that it’s dress season! My husband bought me this dress last summer. I know, he has great taste (obvi)!

Love this black & white patterned dress from @bananarepublic and sharing with you five ways to wear it, honestly, the possibilities are endless!

Option 1: on its own, with fun red earrings for a pop of color.

Option 2: with a black leather jacket for the fall with black booties of course!

Option 3: with a fuchsia sweater when you need a little warmth! Add a statement necklace for extra wow!

Growing up or evolving?

Tell me I am not alone!
Ever have that day (okay, those days!) where you just want to throw out all the clothes you own? Want to have everything new, fresh, fits perfectly, feels amazing and in alignment with you?

I have been going through that phase after my recent closet edit and my recent personal growth spurt!

We are improving, changing and up leveling all the time. So it is natural for Our wardrobe to sometimes feel out of snyc with who we are! Our personal al style is a representation of what’s going on, on the inside. Therefore it must evolve with us.

So to feel this way is totally normal! For many years my clothes were mostly from discount chains and bargain hunters paradise. They were inexpensive, disposable, perfect for my young kids to wipe on, spit up on etc. But now they are older and not using me as a paper towel. Plus my business has evolved and grown and most importantly I have evolved and grown! My focus has shifted from price to Value, disposable pieces to investment pieces, from quantity to quality.

I have definitely belonged to the “but it was on sale” club. I mean, who hasn’t? But now I will only purchase something if it truly speaks to me! I actually have a list of items I am looking for and only certain fabrics that I will add to my wardrobe. I am also done with so much polyester in our clothes! It takes longer when you follow my process, it’s not a one shopping trip to the mall situation. But over time, I build my wardrobe to be the best representation of who I am and who I am becoming. 
This is the same principle I apply to my clients wardrobes too!

Do you feel like your clothes are telling a story of the person you are and who you are becoming?

“Swapna quickly assembled outfits using the clothes & accessories I already owned. I feel that I now have a whole new wardrobe! She gave me the confidence I needed to be in front of the camera!

If you work in a competitive field such as real estate like Theresa, having a stand out personal brand is KEY in differentiating yourself from the competition!

So Theresa decided to invest in a professional website, brand photography and of course STYLING! We create NEW looks with items she already owned and added a few accessories for the perfectly put together look!

Here’s what Theresa had to say about her experience of working with Style Remixx:

“Working with Swapna Patel of Style Remixx was not only an absolute pleasure, but it was also fun! Her professionalism, attention to detail and keen eye for design was inspiring.

I hired the services of Style Remixx to assemble several outfits for my branding photo shoot. Having never worked with a stylist, I did not know what to expect!

Swapna first starts with what you have in your closet including accessories and shoes. It was apparent from the start she is very talented, and she quickly assembled outfits using the clothes and accessories I already owned. I felt confident that I had made the right decision. After working with Swapna, not only did I feel that I now have a whole new wardrobe, I learned so much about styling. I admire her belief that clothes styling doesn’t have to cost thousands of dollars and that she starts with what you already own.

She also made recommendations of staple items that every closet should have. I felt completely comfortable working with Swapna, and she gave me the confidence I needed to be in front of a camera. I highly recommend Swapna & I’ll continue to work with her”

Don’t underestimate the power of the right clothes to create a POWERFUL personal brand! Are you ready to level up your PERSONAL BRAND game? Let’s chat!

I know you, because I am YOU

I see you.

I know you.

Because I have been you.

You go about doing all the things.

The list of to-do’s in the entrepreneurial life is endless. Multiply it times three if you are also a mother. Your outfit is the last thing on your mind! Am I  right? 

But it really shouldn’t be and even you know it. 

You believe in your message, your ability to transform lives and the IMPACT it will have on many. You know you need to SHOW UP, be more visible, to get your message HEARD. 

But are you showing up as THE EXPERT that you are? May be you need new headshots, or pictures for your website or simply need to GO LIVE on videos so YOU can be THE CHANGEMAKER. 

Does your outside  match up with the person you are on the inside? Does your appearance  justify all the mindful work you have done to be the leader in your business space? Is there a disconnect?

Are your clothes putting out the high vibe you want to seek dream clients? Or is the way you dress giving out a low vibe message causing you to attract low vibe clients?

The way you dress can change the visual messaging of your brand and your business. It can showcase YOU as the expert as you are! It creates the confidence to be more VISIBLE! It will lead you to draw DREAM CLIENTS like moths to a flame!

Ready to raise your vibe and attract the RIGHT tribe?

Try this at home!

Dress monochromatic. But please don’t do boring black head to toe! Love my NEW navy blouse and skirt! I haven’t been wearing a lot of skirts lately so I was thrilled to find one that worked for my shape!

Another tip, make sure the shades match closely! Even neutrals can come in many tiny shade variations! 📸: @crphotographynj
