Christmas Party Outfit Special - PART 1 - with Keira Scott-Samuel

Today I sat down with Keira from Scott-Samuel, a small accessories business here in the UK. We got festive and discussed our favourite party outfits, how it's great to still be casual but with a bit of sparkle, plus the hot trends of the season. 

Last year we saw a lot of silver trousers around but this year there a few more trends out there. Not that you should dress 'trendy!' that's certainly not for everyone. We talked about how you can repurpose what you already own and what to wear if you don't really like dressing up at all. 

Your Christmas party outfit inspiration is right here!

This was a collaboration with Keira and I have styled FOUR looks over on my blog where you can shop directly.

Fashion is visual after all! You can view some of the bags we talked about during this podcast over on my YouTube channel.

How your clothes can boost your confidence or hold you back

This episode goes deep into style confidence and finding your sense of self and style confidence. 

Becoming comfortable in your own skin is a lifelong journey and it's harder for some people than others.

The best thing you'll ever wear is confidence but what has that got to do with clothes? EVERYTHING. There are so many hidden emotional messages when it comes to your clothes.

Are you holding back with your style because on some level you don't feel you deserve to look good?

You don't want to be a show-off but this is tethered to worrying too much about what others think of us.

Be who you truly are and not a version other people think you 'should' be. 

This conversation runs beyond my area of expertise in fashion so I invited the confidence and mindset coach Kate Stirling on to The Style Stories podcast to discuss the link between confidence, clothes, truly being who we are - unapologetically and allowing ourselves to look good! 

A fascinating chat that really explains clothes are so much more than just something you wear.

We even touched on First Lady Style - how Hilary Clinton was the first USA First Lady to embrace looking good and how she got shot down for it. 

Lots packed into today's episode - enjoy!

Forget the style rules and do this instead

This week I was joined by Katie Miner, a personal stylist from Colorado. We discussed how style rules can be more confusing and restrictive than actually help you. So what can you do instead? When it comes to personal style, it's far better to trust your instincts and work out your style vibe. We are bombarded with choice and it can be so overwhelming so it's no surprise that people end up only wearing a small percentage of their wardrobe. 

The key to having a great wardrobe is to have the right mix pieces in it not lots of volume and the key to great style is knowing your style vibe and what you truly like, sticking to that and ignoring the trends.

What to wear to work in Autumn 2024 🍁

workwear has moved on but has your wardrobe moved with the times? In this episode I'm sharing my top workwear picks and importantly, the cuts that are hot for 2024 so you look 'on point' and stylish and feel confident in your work clothes. 

I also delve into why this is so important. It's about investing in yourself and realising that not only are you worth investing in, but your clothes are a powerful tool to reach goals. Stand out for the right reasons, own who you are and where you want to go in life. Too many people believe dressing well and buying clothes is a treat or frivolous when it is far from it! Are you ready for a workwear wardrobe update? These are my top picks.
