So like, what exactly are you attracted to? 185 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: And this is something that I talk to about my client, 186 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: This is something that I speak to in my course 187 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: Moguo dress code. What are you attracted to? Like, what 188 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 3: colors are you attracted to? What silhouettes are you attracted to? 189 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 3: And then just really peak a piece that apart, like 190 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 3: screenshot things and then after you screenshot them, look at 191 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 3: what the pattern is in that sequence. Like maybe after 192 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: you screenshot everything, you're like, oh my god, I've screenshot 193 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: a whole lot of black or oh my god, I've 194 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: screenshotted a lot of the stretch jeans and baseball caps, 195 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: and now I know this is something that I'm attracted to, 196 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: and you pen that and say, these are things I 197 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 3: want to play forward within my own style and not 198 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 3: even really replicating someone else's style. And so that's great 199 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 3: that you look at some of my things and you 200 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: say that's cute, just not for me. You recognize that 201 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: there are elements that are in my style that you 202 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: might say. 203 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 6: Oh my god, Jerming, your earrings are beautiful. 204 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: Still those earrings play that forward within your own and 205 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: maybe the dress that I'm wearing isn't for you. And 206 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 3: so it's really about on your attractions and then testing 207 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: those attractions out on you, because you might be attracted 208 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: to things and then you tried on for yourself and 209 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, maybe it's not this. Maybe I actually 210 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: do like jeans, maybe just not stretch jeans, or maybe 211 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: I like peplam just not a peplum skirt, maybe a 212 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: peplum top. And so being able to test things out 213 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: is very imperative in honing in and developing your personal style. 214 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 3: And I think that's a very daunting thing for women especially. 215 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: You don't want to go into the fitting room. You 216 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: don't want to like ask someone, because it's a daunting experience, 217 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 3: Like you just want to go in, find something cute, 218 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: and be done. Like a lot of us women, we 219 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: just want to do that. And so I think, you know, 220 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 3: experimentation is such an important part of developing and honing 221 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: in your style. Otherwise, I think we fall into these 222 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 3: ruts of creating your uniform. And a lot of my 223 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: clients before they worked with you were in yoga pants 224 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 3: and a T shirt. And now that I've worked with 225 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 3: them and helped them really understand like what they like, 226 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: what they're attracted to, they're now like, Okay, I feel 227 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: great and I can feel it. I can show up 228 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: for myself. But outside of attractions, really think about your lifestyle. 229 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: Like if you're a mom and you have like a 230 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: two year old or a newborn, you're probably not wearing heels. 231 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: Don't force yourself to wear heels in this season or 232 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: and also think about like your location. 233 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 6: You know, when I. 234 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 3: Moved from North Carolina to San Francisco, I had to 235 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: let go of a lot of my summer clothes because 236 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 3: it never gets taught in San Francisco ever other than 237 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 3: the two months out of like two months out of 238 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 3: the year. And then I moved to LA and was like, 239 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 3: what am I gonna do with all these weathers? So yeah, 240 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: you got to think about like your location, your attractions, 241 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: your lifestyle, where you are in this moment, and then 242 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 3: also think about how you want to show up now 243 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 3: when it comes to you know, what works best for 244 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: me from a price point standpoint. 245 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 6: For me, I love shopping high low. Like the dress 246 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 6: I have. 247 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: On right now is from Target. It was probably like 248 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 3: fifteen dollars. Now my accessories, unfortunately, are way more expensive 249 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 3: than this dress, and more expensive than I would want 250 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 3: to admit. But it's about shopping high low, and when 251 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: you do invest in those pieces, like make sure that 252 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: it's worth the investment. 253 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 6: So for me. 254 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: My background, I spent a lot of time at Gap 255 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: Corporate and it was a denim brand, So I'm very 256 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: big on denim. I'm willing to pay two hundred dollars 257 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: plus for a great pair of jeans because I know 258 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 3: it'll last me. Or I love Dylan Lex jewels, and 259 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: like there's a statement jewelry brand. I don't wear a 260 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 3: lot of jewelry, and so when I find something that 261 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: I'm attracted to, I'm like, Okay, I'm willing to invest 262 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: the price, but think about what will have longevity in 263 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 3: your closet, and that is something that you should invest in. 264 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 6: Then the things that you know you're not gonna wear 265 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 6: that much, go to Zar, go to Forever twenty one, 266 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 6: go to Target, and go from there. 267 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: So whatever you're attracted to the most, Like if you 268 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: love leather jackets, invest in a great leather jacket. If 269 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: you love leather jackets, the last thing you want to 270 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 3: do is invest in one at Forever twenty one, and 271 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: then you have to keep getting a new one every year, 272 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: you know. So you want to make sure that whatever 273 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 3: you love the most, you put your dollars towards everything else. 274 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: Nothing else really matters. Like I said, I don't really 275 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 3: wear or maybe I didn't say this, but I don't 276 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: particularly like dresses because you wear them one time and 277 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 3: you can't really make any other outfit with it. I 278 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: mean you can, there's a lot of other things you 279 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: could do, but for me, like, I'd rather put an 280 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 3: outfit together and I find most value in the outfit. 281 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 3: So me buying this dress from Target was great because 282 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: I'm not going to spend one hundred dollars in a 283 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: dress because for me, that's not a good investment for me. 284 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: There are some people who are like, I love dresses. 285 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 3: It's easy, it's less thoughts investing your dresses. For me, 286 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 3: it's just not worth an investment. 287 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 6: That is loaded. Yeah, that was sorry. 288 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: That was so juicy. 289 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 5: That was so hard that I was gonna say, that's 290 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 5: such practical advice. And if you hear the little clinking, 291 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 5: those are Germany's bomb ass earrings. They are so there's 292 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 5: so big and beautiful. 293 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: Are they heavy? 294 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 6: Tea? They are not heavy. They look very heavy, but 295 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 6: they actually aren't. 296 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 5: They're really fly. 297 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 4: I like them. 298 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: I know. 299 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 5: I've tried some of those earrings where I get them 300 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 5: and I'm like, oh I order them and I'm like, oh, 301 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 5: this is too heavy my ear low, But those are nice. 302 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 5: I love the fact that you said they're not heavy. 303 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, they're not. 304 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: I actually had surgery on my ears they split in college, 305 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: and it's actually highly recommended that I don't wear rings, 306 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: So I wear these like ones every food moon. And 307 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: then if you ever look at any photos, you've probably 308 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: never seen me in earrings outside of studs because I 309 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 3: can't wear I can't wear them. 310 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: Oh well, then I'm gonna have to figure out where 311 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: you got those earrings because I have been wearing diamond 312 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: studs for like the last I don't even know how long, 313 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: because I saw my ears starting to split and said, 314 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let them split all the like, I 315 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: want to prevent that. So I just switched to diamond studs, 316 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: and that's all I've been wearing for like years.

What advice do you have 335 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 5: for those folks? 336 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 6: Hmmm, that's a good one. 337 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 3: Go with what resonates it makes you feel most confident, 338 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: So I would say, figure out what place on your 339 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 3: body like you want to show up like that you 340 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 3: feel most confident. 341 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 6: So for me, I. 342 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 3: Don't like my thighs, so I pretty much like try 343 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 3: to downplay that. If you ever see me, I'm usually 344 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: in like white lake pants or like wider distress deans 345 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 3: like most of the time. And this might be too 346 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: much information. The dudes that I did are like, dang, 347 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: I wouldn't even know you have body because you never 348 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: wear like fitted clothes, and so like playing up like 349 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 3: what makes you feel great? And then also once you 350 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: play up what makes you feel great, just make sure 351 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 3: like the silhouette is flattering to you. Yeah, I think 352 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 3: that's all I have is like play up with play 353 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: up the assets that make you feel great, one on 354 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: your body, and then whatever has made you feel great 355 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 3: in the past that has worked, play those strengths up 356 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: as well. And then I would say after like if 357 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 3: you're in the rush, like that's your one go to 358 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 3: and two, like I said, you gotta do the soul searching. 359 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 3: Like soul searching is very imperative. I don't think personal 360 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: style and honing in and developing in your personal style 361 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 3: is something that can be done overnight. Even in my 362 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: Mobile dress Code boot camp, I tell my students all 363 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 3: the time, you might feel very confident now where you are, 364 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 3: You're going to continue to build on that confidence as 365 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 3: you continue to understand what you like, what you dislike, 366 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 3: what works, what experimentations you want to do with your wardrobe, 367 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: and really honing in on your style is about like 368 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: I said, it's the experimentation trying on things that may work, 369 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 3: it may not work. 370 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 6: You have to do the work to. 371 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 3: Then understand this looks good, this doesn't. But also another 372 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: good resources to have, like a style go too, so 373 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: you know, maybe you like signed by Blake. Maybe you 374 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: like Klana Barfield, maybe you like Tracy Ellis Ross. Then 375 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 3: think about, like, what are those elements of their outfits 376 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 3: that I like that I can actually try in my lifestyle, 377 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: because you know, sometimes they wear things that are way 378 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 3: too far fetch for like them the common person. I'm 379 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: even the common person. I'm like, Okay, Tracy Alross, you 380 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: look good, but where am I wearing that? Like, Okay, 381 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 3: go to dinner and that outfit, Like you can go 382 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 3: to dinner in the outfit, but not me. And then 383 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 3: you say, like, what are these elements that I can 384 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 3: take and infuse this into my own wardrobe and try 385 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 3: and then see if that works for you. So utilize 386 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 3: you know, resources like Instagram and these style icons and 387 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 3: you don't have to copy paste what they do. I 388 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 3: actually stress against copy and pasting because you may say 389 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: you want to look just like sign by Blake, you 390 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: put on the whole outfit and you're like, actually, I 391 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: love Blake, but I don't like this outfit on me, 392 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 3: or it doesn't look great on my body type. And 393 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: so it's about really understanding what you love about their style, 394 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 3: picking those pieces apart, and then figuring out what works 395 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 3: best for you as you learn what does not work 396 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 3: for you. 397 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 6: Does that make sense? 398 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 7: Yes, it does. I love that. 399 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: And so I you know, I have like a ton 400 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: of questions, and I feel like I'm gonna need to 401 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: schedule my own session so that I can ask all 402 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: the questions. So one of the things that you mentioned 403 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: is dressing in a way that like essentuates the pieces 404 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: of your body that you love, right, And so, what 405 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: are some of the biggest or most common misconceptions about 406 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: fashion and dressing to compliment one's body type. 407 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the biggest misconceptions about fashion 408 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 3: in general is that it can't be attained and like, 409 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: the average person can't attain style, And I don't want 410 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 3: anyone to ever feel that way. Everybody can attain style. 411 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: Style isn't just for these influencers. Style isn't just for celebrities. 412 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 3: It's for you too. It's about how you're branding yourself 413 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 3: and showing your showing up to the world. And so 414 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: what is the message that you're saying? So I stress 415 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 3: that you can actually attain great style. You just have 416 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: to do the work, and the work is daunting. The 417 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: misconceptions about body type is that everything does not work 418 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: for you now does not work for everyone's body type. Now, 419 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 3: while that may be true in some instances, it's about 420 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 3: it's really about proportion. So it's about balance. It's about 421 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 3: making sure like if you have broad shoulders, maybe the 422 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 3: best fit for you is the best on the bottom 423 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: for you to balance out what's going on the top 424 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 3: on the bottom is an a line skirt or a 425 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 3: line dress. Because you want to make the illusion of 426 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 3: a hourglass most people, most women are not. There are 427 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: a lot of women that are blessed with our glass figures, 428 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 3: but there are a lot of women who are not. 429 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 3: And you should not feel stressed if you are not. 430 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: Your body type is just as beautiful. Kim k I'm 431 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: sure has spent a lot of money to make make 432 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 3: sure she has that hour glass body type. Even Beyonce, 433 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: she's ebbed and flowed throughout our glass body type. If 434 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: you see her pre baby, she actually had a body 435 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 3: type that was similar to a pair and so she 436 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 3: was smaller on the chest and her hips were wider, 437 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 3: whereas now that she's a mom, she has boobs and 438 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 3: her hips are yeah, so now she has that hour 439 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 3: glass body figure. So as a woman, your body shape 440 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: changes throughout time, and so it's really about honing in 441 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: on you know, what proportions can you play up? Like 442 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 3: because my hips are wider on the bottom, it's about 443 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 3: me creating volume on the top so that I can 444 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 3: balance out the top with the bottom. So really just 445 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 3: make sure you're honing in on your proportions balancing out. 446 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: And there are a lot of diagrams. If you look 447 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: at body types, you can see the five most common 448 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: body types.

Is your closet reflective 491 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 3: of either of those and where you're trying to take 492 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 3: your style. Then from there, because us women have always 493 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 3: been told to shop but never taught how to shop. 494 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 3: I teach you how to shop and how to approach 495 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 3: it in the way that you're not buying things and 496 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 3: then next season you're like, actually I hate this, or 497 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 3: a lot of us as women, we buy on impulse. 498 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: Oh I got to go to this wedding. Dang, I 499 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 3: gotta find an outfit right now, and then you spend 500 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 3: one hundred dollars on something you're never going to wear again. 501 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 3: I don't ever want any of my clients, any of 502 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: my students, to ever do that. I always stress that 503 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 3: if you can't make three outfits from what you got 504 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 3: in your wardrobe, this item should not be in your wardrobe. 505 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 3: And then the last module is the experimentation process, in 506 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: which you start to figure out what is your formula 507 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 3: that works for you. And it's less like a uniform 508 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: but more of a formula. So if I know that 509 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 3: statement tops and key item blazers work best for me 510 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 3: with a basic skinny gene. That's my formula that works 511 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 3: for me. You can keep playing on that formula and 512 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 3: it doesn't have to be the same athletic talk and 513 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 3: athletic pants. It looks different, but you're doing the same combination, 514 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 3: but nobody knows because you created your own formula. So 515 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 3: it's really just honing in on the formula. So that's 516 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 3: the five things that we talk about during the course. 517 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 3: And like I said, you come out with a confidence 518 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 3: in an air about your style and you're ready to 519 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 3: command rooms. And you still know that you're learning and 520 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 3: you're growing, but you feel a hundred times better and 521 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 3: being able to show up and command any room that 522 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 3: you're in after you've taken the course. And so it's 523 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: a six week course. We have it on ice right 524 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: now because our travel calendar is insane, but we're thinking 525 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 3: about bringing it back at the beginning of twenty twenty 526 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 3: two to be able to support all of the inquiries 527 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 3: that we've gotten about the course. And I feel so, 528 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 3: but my travels calendar has been crazy and I just 529 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: haven't had the bandwidth to like sit back in and 530 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 3: be able to chat with my students because the modules 531 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 3: are pre recorded. However, I stop in once a week 532 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 3: to answer any questions and just you know, help help 533 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 3: my students along the way. And so I'm very passionate 534 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 3: about making sure everyone comes out with a personal experience 535 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 3: from me, even though it's not personal styling, and just 536 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 3: be able to hear my voice and make sure that 537 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 3: they are tracking on correctly. 538 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 5: My question is going to be how do I sign 539 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 5: up for a Mogul dress Code boot camp? Because I've 540 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 5: worked with For those who don't know, I've worked with 541 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 5: Germany before, and if you go to my social media pages, 542 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 5: my latest headshots are Germany styled me in that photo 543 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 5: so the yellow dress. Also the book cover for my book, 544 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 5: Germany styled me for that outfit.

I also work with the McBride's sisters, 582 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 3: who own the largest African American owned winery, and I 583 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 3: think everywhere let's see something bride sisters. I've worked with 584 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: Melissa Fredericks, that is Kevin on Stager's wife.

A 592 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 3: lot of my clients have now attained status since working 593 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: with them, especially Danielle Leslie. I've been working with her 594 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: since the beginning, and so I've seen the transformation in 595 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 3: her life. But what I will say is that in 596 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 3: working with high profile individuals with a lot of discretionary income, 597 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 3: it has taught me something. One, they're very humble individuals, 598 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 3: and so you realize that while they may be high profile, 599 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 3: they're regular people. And so in a sense, it's taught 600 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 3: me how I want to navigate my life as I 601 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: continue to grow. 602 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 6: Because I'm not even thirty yet. 603 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 3: I turned thirty in eighteen days, okay, and so I 604 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 3: turned thirty and eighteen days, and so it's like, okay, 605 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 3: boz of them a Saint John. 606 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 6: She is a single. 607 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 3: Mom doing amazing And so it's taught me that even 608 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 3: though I have this this job, I can still be 609 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 3: a mom. I can still do great things. It's taught 610 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 3: me I can still travel around the world. It's taught 611 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 3: me in conversations with my clients, they've been like, Okay, 612 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 3: this is how you should say, this is how you 613 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 3: should approach building a house. And so I've been able 614 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 3: to learn from them because they're very much so like 615 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 3: you're my little sister, because I mean I started like, 616 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 3: oh when I was twenty three. Yeah, and so now 617 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: I'm thirty, and I've learned so much about how to 618 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 3: adult and what it's like once you attain wealth, and 619 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 3: how to treat people and how to go about your life. 620 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 3: And it's so inspiring and I feel very blessed when 621 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 3: I am in these spaces and in these rooms with 622 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 3: these women and they share like how they got to 623 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 3: where they are and how to attain that yourself and 624 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 3: also how to be better in the process. So it's 625 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 3: a humbling and blessed experience and I've learned a lot. 626 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 3: And then also like it teaches you some things not 627 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 3: to do too, and so I won't shed light into 628 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 3: the things that you won't do. But also like it 629 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 3: tells you what to do when you are well, when 630 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 3: you're wealthy, and I mean some routes not to take 631 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 3: when you are wealthy, or how not to treat people, 632 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, And so you can take those 633 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 3: little bits and pieces. It's been amazing. And then also 634 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: I think the greatest thing for me and being in 635 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 3: these spaces with these women is that I'm able to 636 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 3: give back important to other women because of that, So 637 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 3: during the pandemic, I actually was not able to work 638 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 3: of course the world was shut down, but I wanted 639 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 3: to pour back into my community, specifically the African American community, 640 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 3: and tap into help bring my audience, my clients, you know, 641 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 3: and so I have those of the Saint John's number, 642 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 3: I have Robin and Andrea McBride's number. And so I 643 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 3: wanted to encourage black women to command spaces and not 644 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: only command space and take up space in their careers, 645 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 3: but also so how to do that through style. And 646 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 3: so we hosted the Mogul Moment series and I think 647 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 3: it was six dynamic women just talking about their careers 648 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 3: and how in style has impacted their careers, and then 649 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 3: also just being able to let my audience ask these 650 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 3: people questions because you might work with Bozma and Netflix, 651 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 3: but it might take you six months to get a 652 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 3: coffee chat with her, and even once you get to 653 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 3: that coffee chat that day, it might get canceled because 654 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 3: she had to go off somewhere. And so for me 655 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 3: to be able to call them and say, hey, do 656 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 3: you have time, and be in that space where we 657 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 3: were all being still and be able to pour back 658 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 3: into my community during the pandemic, that was amazing for 659 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 3: me because I have access to these women that otherwise 660 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 3: they might not have had access to. 661 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow, that is beautiful, Like well one, you know, 662 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: my heart just like bloomed as like you were saying 663 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: like that you started this at twenty three, right, and 664 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: that you kept pursuing your passion, right, And I think 665 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: it takes us, you know, to me, it takes us 666 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: back to our quote of the day, right of trying 667 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: your hardest, like trying and showing up for yourself even 668 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: on the hardest days.

In general, the goal 680 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 3: is to expand. And I was very much so adamant 681 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 3: when I began this company that it wouldn't just be 682 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 3: like Gigi. The co is for everyone else who helps 683 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 3: and would help make this company become a strong firm. 684 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 3: And so I always had this vision that there are 685 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 3: gonna be other people outside of me like, I want 686 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 3: to be the Rachel Zoe, if not better of you know, 687 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 3: my realm. You know this is gonna be baby strollers 688 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 3: with my name on it. So and so I was 689 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 3: very adamant about wanting to train other stylists to, you know, 690 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 3: do what I do in other spaces so that I 691 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 3: can increase my bandwidth, and we're working on that now. 692 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 3: I have a lead assistant currently, and I actually am 693 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 3: in talks of hiring a new assistant in the Midwest, 694 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 3: and so crossing our fingers that that works out. But 695 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 3: because I've been pulled in so many areas now, it's 696 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 3: forcing us to think about, like what does expansion look 697 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 3: like because I can't be here, there and everywhere, especially 698 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 3: because now I'm getting a lot of recognition from corporations 699 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 3: and so I'm not sure if you all know, but 700 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 3: I just recently did a partnership with Nike and that 701 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 3: was very like front facing. It was my largest and 702 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,959 Speaker 3: first front facing like corporate gig. And so now it's 703 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,280 Speaker 3: like my assistants are now pushing me by saying, okay, 704 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 3: you need to also think about your succession plan and 705 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 3: not necessarily leaving. But what does it look like when 706 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 3: you're not the lead stylist because your personal self is 707 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 3: being pulled into new arenas too, And so what does Germany? 708 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 3: The personality in Germany the CEO like you know, and 709 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 3: so definitely double downing on expanding. And then also outside 710 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 3: of styling, does it look like a boutique? Does it 711 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 3: look like you know, expanding our the Mobile dress Code 712 00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 3: boot camp? 713 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 6: Like what does what does it look like? And so 714 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 6: how high is high? 715 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 3: So I'm actually taking some time off the remaining of 716 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 3: the year just to like reset, spend the time with 717 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 3: God and see like where he wants me to like 718 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 3: focus and hone in and think through. 719 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 6: Gigi and code. What's next for Mobile dress Code? 720 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 3: Definitely thinking about relaunching that in twenty twenty two. I 721 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 3: want to provide the best value, the best service, and 722 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 3: the most education, and also I want to be on 723 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 3: deck and so just being able to think through that 724 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,959 Speaker 3: more holistically has put us on pause because I want 725 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 3: to be able to give people the value that they need. 726 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 6: And then what's next for Germany? Oh my god. 727 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 3: I used to joke with my mother when I was 728 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 3: young and say like I'm a free bird, like a 729 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 3: free spirit, and she used to really hate that. But 730 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 3: for me, when I say I'm a free spirit, I'm 731 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 3: very much so flowing in where God wants me to be. 732 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 3: And so I want to take a misstep and say 733 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 3: I'm going to do this and then not. 734 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 6: Be in step. 735 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 3: And so I never want to tie myself to a 736 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 3: destiny because God laughs and all of our plans. 737 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 6: And so. 738 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 3: I've learned to just like roll with the punges and 739 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 3: wherever He wants me to be, He'll want me to be. 740 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 3: That's why I am very much so okay. While it's 741 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 3: frustrating to be geographically agnostic in this current space that 742 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 3: I'm in, I know that at some point he knows 743 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 3: that I want to build roots somewhere, but he hasn't 744 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 3: revealed that, And so I'm just being okay, like not 745 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 3: paygnorant at the moment, and just being able to be 746 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 3: present with my family, being able to be present with clients, 747 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 3: not having to think about rent. I say all of that, 748 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 3: but those are all of the things that I have 749 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 3: at the forefront. 750 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 6: So the answer is that I don't know what's next 751 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 6: for me, but I know that he has something great, 752 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 6: you know. So yeah, that's so beautiful. 753 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 5: I think that a lot of people can resonate you 754 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 5: said so much and was so powerful. I think a 755 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 5: lot of people can resonate with the fact that they 756 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 5: know they don't know what's next, but they know that 757 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 5: guy got them and they know it's going to be 758 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 5: all good.
