Aimed at empowering women to build a wardrobe that truly reflects their individuality, Heather provides actionable steps and insightful advice to transform the often overwhelming task of dressing into an enjoyable and confidence-boosting experience.
1. The Importance of Defining Your Signature Style
Heather opens the episode by emphasizing the transformative power of having a well-defined personal style. She posits that a signature style acts as a "clear roadmap" for daily dressing, eliminating the chaos and guesswork that often accompany morning wardrobe selections.
“Having a dialed in signature style is like being armed and ready for the adventure with a clear roadmap to follow.” (Heather Riggs, [01:37])
Without a clear understanding of one’s style identity, Heather explains, women may find themselves endlessly trying on outfits or purchasing clothes that ultimately remain unworn.
“When you haven't defined your signature style, it's easy to dress for the trends or dress for other people's expectations and then feeling like something is off or missing.” (Heather Riggs, [01:37])
2. Step One: Taking the Personal Style Quiz
Heather introduces the Free Personal Style Quiz as the foundational step in identifying one's signature style. Designed to assess not only visual preferences but also personality, goals, and lifestyle, the quiz offers a comprehensive understanding of what styles resonate most with each individual.
“This quiz takes just a few minutes to complete, and it is going to give you your top three signature style types based on not only your visual preferences... but it also factors in things like your personality, your goals, your priorities, and how you spend your time.” (Heather Riggs, [04:15])
Heather highlights the quiz's effectiveness, noting that over 22,000 women have completed it with results that have provided clarity and direction in their style journeys.
“We've had more than 22,000 women complete this quiz, and I've heard that they've never felt so seen... it’s given them the needed clarity and direction to keep moving forward on their style journeys.” (Heather Riggs, [06:00])
3. Building Your Style Mood Board
After identifying their top style types through the quiz, Heather advises listeners to create a Style Mood Board. This visual compilation serves as an inspiration hub, allowing individuals to gather images that align with their identified style keywords.
“I want you to start developing your own style mood board... You could pin outfits directly from within Pinterest... snap photos of yourself in outfits that you really love.” (Heather Riggs, [09:10])
Heather encourages expanding beyond fashion by including artwork, interior design elements, and color schemes that resonate personally, fostering a more holistic approach to style.
“You also can expand a little bit as you're kind of getting started with all of this... maybe look for color schemes that excite you.” (Heather Riggs, [11:00])
4. Incorporating Signature Style into Daily Dressing
With a clear understanding of their style and a curated mood board, Heather guides listeners on integrating their signature style into everyday outfits and activities. She emphasizes the importance of consistency in expressing personal style across various facets of life, from casual errands to professional settings.
“Ask yourself each morning when you're getting ready, how can I express one or more of my style words in today's outfit.” (Heather Riggs, [12:20])
Heather provides practical examples, such as adding a pop of color for those with a creative style or incorporating structured blazers for a classic look, thereby making personal style a seamless part of daily life.
“If you received a quiz result of creative or dramatic, maybe that means playful to you and it looks like slipping into a fun pair of sneakers or adding an unexpected pop of color in your T-shirt.” (Heather Riggs, [12:45])
5. Embracing Flexibility and Evolution in Style
Concluding the episode, Heather underscores that personal style is not static. She encourages listeners to revisit and refine their style periodically, acknowledging that preferences and life stages can evolve over time.
“Your mood board might shape up to be something that's a little bit more unexpected, and it can also change from season to season or based on your stage of life.” (Heather Riggs, [11:55])
Heather advocates for viewing personal style as a dynamic expression of self, adaptable to one's changing circumstances and tastes.
