The 12 Days of Entrepreneur Holiday Style: : Festive Looks for Fabulous Women in Business

The holiday season is upon us! 🎄✨ And as entrepreneurs, our December calendars are brimming with opportunities—client meetings, networking events, holiday mixers, and maybe even a moment to celebrate our own hard-earned success (cheers to that! 🥂). If the thought of wearing red, sparkles, glitter and sequins makes you squirm in your cozy sweats, this post is for you!

But here’s the thing: what you wear to these occasions matters. Dressing well doesn’t just make you look good; it’s a confidence booster and an incredible way to leave a lasting impression. So, to keep you feeling festive and professional, I’ve created The 12 Days of Entrepreneur Holiday Style—a guide to looking polished, powerful, and holiday-ready!

Presenting 12 style options without looking like the Christmas Elf threw glitter bombs all over you!

Day 1: Power in Plaid

Plaid is your secret weapon this season! It’s festive enough to feel like the holidays but polished enough for business. Pair your classic plaid with a sparkly skirt for an unexpected feminine twist. Or wear plaid in an unexpected way- a coat! Layer it over a dress and chunky boots for interest. A feminine pink plaid will go beyond the holidays when worn with dark denim and understated accessories.

Day 2: Statement Earrings to Steal the Show

Who says Zoom calls can’t be festive? A bold pair of statement earrings can elevate even the simplest outfit. Metallics, jewel tones, or sparkly designs—anything that adds a little holiday magic will do the trick. We won’t tell anyone that you are wearing Christmas pj’s on the bottom, as long as you don’t get up from your seat!
Balance bold earrings with a sleek hairstyle like a low bun or straightened locks for a sophisticated vibe. And don’t forget to add a bold lip in your best color!

Day 3: Velvet Vibes

No Sparkles, no problem! Velvet adds warmth, elegance and holiday cheer in a very understated way. Velvet says luxury, elegance, and just the right amount of drama. Whether it’s a blazer, a chic sheath dress, a pair of velvet trousers or simple accessories like hair bows this fabric works wonders for holiday events.

Day 4: Red Alert: The Confidence Booster

Ready to make a statement? Red is the color of confidence, and it’s perfect for the season! Wear it as a bold dress, a pop of color in your scarf, or even a pair of red pumps. Red is a high-energy color that signifies power, confidence, and boldness. Red increases physical energy and mental alertness, which can boost the confidence needed to take action toward business goals.
Style Tip: Not into bold colors? Add red through accessories—a leather belt, a structured bag, or even lipstick can do the trick!

Day 5: Metallic Accessories for a Subtle Sparkle

Metallic shoes, belts, or clutches are like little sprinkles of holiday cheer for your wardrobe. They add just enough sparkle without going overboard.
Style Tip: Keep your outfit neutral (like a sleek black dress or white blouse) to let your metallic accessory stand out.

Day 6: Cozy but Chic Layers

When the weather outside is frightful, but your schedule is packed, chic layers are your best friend. A polished coat, a cozy sweater, and a statement scarf can keep you warm and stylish.
Style Tip: Choose a monochromatic palette (like camel or winter white) for a look that’s effortlessly chic.

Day 7: Power Pants with a Festive Twist

Wide-leg trousers in festive shades like emerald green, burgundy, or even gold bring the perfect mix of confidence and holiday charm. Look for denim that has embellishment like rhinestones, sequins or pearls. Pair with a basic white tee and a classic cropped jacket.
Style Tip: Pair bold pants with a fitted blouse or turtleneck to balance the silhouette. Bonus points for a skinny metallic belt!

Day 8: The Festive Midi Skirt

Midi skirts are a holiday classic, and they’re endlessly versatile! From pleats to sequins or lace details, they’ll take you from a client lunch to a holiday party with ease.
Style Tip: Pair with knee high boots and a fitted sweater for a modern, boss-approved look.

Day 9: Blazer as the Hero Piece

Blazers are the instant authority makers in your wardrobe. Don't put them aside just because it is the holiday season. Pair them with the simplest of tops and bottoms and let the blazer do the talking.
Style Tip: Keep the rest of your outfit simple to let the blazer shine. Add heels for extra confidence or pair with sneakers to keep it fun and playful.

Day 10: The Power of Prints

Winter florals, abstract holiday-inspired designs, or even a subtle festive plaid can add personality to your look while keeping things professional.
Style Tip: For a polished effect, choose prints in colors like black, green, or burgundy or the unexpected silver.

Day 11: Winter White Elegance

There’s nothing more chic than winter white. Tailored trousers, a cozy knit sweater, or a sleek midi dress in this hue make a subtle yet powerful statement.
Style Tip: Add gold or pearl accessories for a hint of holiday sparkle.

Day 12: Sparkle & Shine with Confidence

Let’s end the season with a bang (and some sequins)! A sequin blazer, glittery top, or metallic skirt can be festive while still looking professional.
Style Tip: Pair sparkle with classic pieces—like a well loved pair of jeans or classic ankle boots—for a balanced look.

The holidays are a time to celebrate your success and showcase your style. Whether you’re rocking plaid, velvet, or a little sparkle, remember: your outfit is an extension of your brand. Dress in a way that reflects your confidence, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.

So, which of these holiday looks are you most excited to try? Let me know in the comments—I can’t wait to see you sparkle!

How To Discover Your Personal Style

Discovering Your Personal Style

A Path to Confidence, Productivity, and Success for Women

Are you feeling lost or confused when it comes to your personal style? You're not alone. Many women, especially as we go through life, struggle with finding a look that feels true to who we are. But here's the thing—your personal style isn't just about looking good; it's about feeling empowered, boosting your productivity, and even increasing your income.

Yes, you read that right! Dressing well can significantly impact your professional and personal life. When you wear clothing that makes you feel confident and authentic, you're more likely to show up in the world with a clear sense of purpose. You're more likely to walk into that meeting, event, or video call with a presence that demands attention and respect. And let's face it—people respond to that energy. Your outer appearance can communicate professionalism, creativity, and leadership, which can directly impact your business or career.

But how do you find that elusive "authentic" style? Here are three steps to help you discover your personal style, ensuring it not only reflects who you are but also supports your success.

These are the exact three steps I use with my clients in one-to-one services as well as my digital courses to help them curate a wardrobe that reflects their goals, ambitions and works for their lifestyle.

Step #1: Discover your Best Colors

---

The colors you wear can dramatically impact how you feel and how others perceive you. Have you ever put on a piece of clothing and noticed how it instantly brightened your complexion or boosted your mood? That's the power of wearing the right colors for your unique skin tone. 

Start by identifying your undertones (warm, cool, or neutral) and explore which colors make you glow. Whether it's through color analysis or simply trying on different shades, you'll begin to see which colors make you look energized and feel confident. Once you've identified your best colors, you can start building a wardrobe that makes you look and feel radiant every day.

Step #2: Dress for Your Body Shape

---

Nice clothes are not a reward for attaining a certain dress size! Everyone deserves to look and feel fabulous. Knowing our body shape can get us to stop hiding and start showing up in a way that feels comfortable and safe to us. We all have unique proportions, and it's important to work with what you have, rather than against it. 

The key is balance and proportion—creating a silhouette that flatters your natural shape while allowing you to feel comfortable and confident. When your clothing fits well and complements your body, you'll feel more at ease in everything you do.

Step #3 Dress for your Personality

---

We’ve been dressing for a dress code! Whether it’s at school or our jobs there are rules to adhere to. It’s no surprise that we’ve never discovered what brings us joy when we get dressed! Perhaps the last time we felt that way was when we were toddlers. Don’t you agree?

Your wardrobe should be a reflection of who you are—your interests, your lifestyle, and your personality. One of the best ways to ensure your style feels authentic is by infusing it with elements that speak to your inner self.

Are you more laid-back and casual, or do you love bold, statement-making pieces? Are you drawn to timeless classics or trend-driven styles? Think of your wardrobe as a way to express your personality and values. Consider personality-based dressing frameworks, like my IT Factor, which align your personality with style types to create a wardrobe that feels uniquely you.

It’s worth taking the time to discover your IT factor to bring you joy when you get dressed everyday!

Your personal style journey is about so much more than clothes—it's about embracing your true self and showing up confidently in every area of your life.

---

By discovering the colors that make you shine, dressing in a way that flatters your unique body shape, and aligning your wardrobe with your personality, you'll not only feel more empowered, but you'll also see a positive shift in how others respond to you, both personally and professionally. And this journey doesn’t stop here!

Borrow 90's style from your F.R.I.E.N.D.S

How you doin? 

Please tell me your brain processed that in Joey Tribbani’s New York accent or we can’t be friends!

See what I did there?

The 90s are back, cropped tops, high waisted, sneakers with everything and as Joey rocked them in so many episodes the SHACKET aka the shirt jacket.

It’s a perfect layering piece for working from home, going to a football game, or grabbing drinks with friends.

Summer dresses are here- my top picks

As soon as the mercury starts rising, there is one thing I look forward to! That is wearing a dress! I love dresses for many, many reasons. They can be forgiving, they are comfortable, they can be casual or dressy, they take the guess work out of mixing and matching clothes. Have I sold you on dresses already?

Short or long, Solid or floral or stripes, I believe there is a dress for every BODY and every BUDGET. Here are some of my favorite picks for the season ranging from $16 (not a typo) to $120!

From beach to backyard barbecue, to your cousins wedding these dresses are effortlessly chic.

layer with a denim jacket or a blazer or a cardi for a warm layer. Throw on sneakers, ballet flats or wedges to dress these up or down!

Mad for Plaid

If there is one pattern that shows up as soon as the mercury starts to drop, it is PLAID! From summers checks to winters buffalo plaid, plaid is a pattern most women embrace easily. Typically, women are wearing oversized plaid shirts, that look like they were borrowed from their significant others.

Come on ladies…there is a way to include menswear details in your wardrobe and looking like the guy from Brawny is not required.

I have put together some festive looks that incorporate plaid! Want to recreate these looks at home?

Sweater weather

This fall I did an audit of my closet and figured out what was missing. Add to that, socially distanced outdoor gatherings call for warm clothes and layers. So the answer was just staring at me in the face!

SWEATERS!

Here’s my criteria for sweaters:

Must feel soft and comfortable on my skin.

Must be easy care.

Must be updated classics to pair with anything from jeans to sequined skirts.

So here is a list of what I am eyeing and there were so many great finds, I had to share with you too! Enjoy this sweater look book and tell me what you’d like to see next!

3 ways to style a graphic tee

I ‘m back!

Today I have decided to stop licking my wounds all day, get up, dress up and show up!

I have had a busy day of calls and learning and getting ready was the perfect way to set the tone. Productive days call for a cute outfit to get me in the mood! Do you believe this theory?

One of the ways to get more out of your wardrobe is to wear each piece a minimum of three ways! Across different seasons!

I love this awesome graphic tee and sharing three fun ways to wear them!

When you shop for pieces, make sure you think of at least 3 things they will go with in your existing wardrobe. This way, you’ll get the most wear and most return on your investment.

1️⃣. A super cute pink pleated skirt.

Add some WOW factor with this fuchsia, pleated skirt. I repeated the leopard print in the shoes as well. But nude pumps will work great as well. All other accessories are kept to a bare minimum (YET STRONG) for this look. You can grab my tee and skirt HERE

2️⃣. Black jeans and a moto jacket when the weather allows.

This tee transforms itself perfectly for cooler weather. Here with black high rise jeans and my favorite Moto jacket. Do you have a Moto jacket? It is my most favorite thing in the world- I pair it with everything from dresses to denim! Linking you up with my faves HERE.

3️⃣. White jeans and a very light weight long cardigan for those crisp summer evenings.

If you’ve been here a while. You know I love my white jeans. I have added a super lightweight cardigan for late summer, cool nights. Wedge heels dress it up, but can be worn just as easily with flats or sneakers.

Which look is your favorite?

Most pieces in all these looks were already in my closet. If you want to add similar items to yours check it out HERE.

How to uncover your personal style

Every single person has their own unique style waiting to be uncovered!

No I am not kidding, I am super serious.

The things that stop us from uncovering it and embracing it are judgement, fear and of course budget too.

Here are some quick tips to uncover your own style:

❤️ seek inspo: start a board on @pinterest or a collection on @instagram and go wild pinning ideas. Don’t let the budget, designer, brand names, labels, your size vs. models size stop you. Just collect everything that catches your eye.

If you need a refresh in the hair or make up department, later, rinse and repeat above process.

❤️ Next look at what’s common in all the pictures. Is it neutral colors, print and pattern, lots of color, use of accessories?

❤️ Now check your current wardrobe. Where are the gaps? Did your inspo board have gorgeous patterns but your wardrobe is mostly solid? Pinned a lot of dresses but wearing mostly pants?

Now you have identified the holes in your wardrobe.

❤️ Actively seek out items that will bridge the gap between your dream style and currently style.

❤️This happens over time not over night! Almost nobody throws out everything they own and buys all new things.

❤️Curate your closet and add pieces gradually that you truly love and make you feel amazing.

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!
