Time for my next chapter 😢🥳.....
It has been an incredible journey being a Personal Stylist. I’ve loved 💕every minute of it 👗👔👠.
But getting my Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology has been a long-term goal, and I am starting graduate school to pursue that goal. 💋Fashion is still in my blood, so stay tuned for maybe a blend of speech and fashion 🤷‍♀️. Time will tell. Sending love and light, xo Joddie

Given the extra time on our hands in 🤷‍♀️, I thought I’d share the latest skin care products that I purchased through . I chose these based on 3 things...ingredients, reviews and price. There are plenty of high-end skin care products on the market, that are pretty amazing. However, there are also some great and effective over the counter products as well 👍💞 *
*
What I’ve noticed so far is that no matter what I put on my skin, results are most noticeable when I drink lots of water 💦🚰💦
*
*
*
1. Differin Gel: This product is the first and only FDA-approved full prescription strength retinoid available without a prescription. It won award in 2019. Its great for acne as well as wrinkles and has almost 2k positive reviews on Amazon. *
*
*
*
2. Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C and E Ferulic Acid Serum. This is a for C E Ferulic acid which retails for $166. The Timeless version retails for $18 on Amazon with almost 3k 4-star reviews. *
*
*
*
3. Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream. This moisturizer has over 7k 4 1/2 star reviews on Amazon. It has an amino peptide complex, hyaluronic acid, and Niacin Amide (vitamin B3). Great for ‘mature’ women like me 😉. *

Haven’t posted in a while....safe to say that life has been crazy. ✌️

I think it also warrants saying that fashion and style aren’t at the top of our priority lists right now, rightfully so. There are more important things happening in the world. How we look is insignificant these days.
***
Having said that, I wanted to share that over the last few weeks, I’ve been wearing a sad combination of pajamas, gym clothes and athleisure wear. Just swapping out tops with bottoms and bottoms with tops to ‘mix it up’. I noticed that what I was wearing was really affecting my mood and my energy, as was the current state of affairs. Since I couldn’t do much about the latter, I chose to address the former.

Gratefully taking inspiration from the phenomenal, wildly successful and truly authentic blogger 💕 , I took a bit more care in getting myself ready for the day, albeit a day of .
***
Don’t get me wrong, I did not put make up on or straighten my hair, but I ‘leveled up’ just enough so that when I passed the mirror in the hallway, I could start to recognize myself again. . Do it for yourself ❤️.

Is it hot out today, cold or somewhere in between? This is the time of year when it changes from one day to the next. Do we put away our summer clothes and break out the bulky sweaters from storage? I say, not just yet.
*
*
*
Following is what I find to be most comfortable this time of year. If I’m feeling warm, I can take off the duster and vice versa.
*
*
*
Fall formula:
1. cardigan or light duster
2. Short sleeve or no sleeve shirt
3. Mules Or bo**ies

Retail therapy is an effective way to cope with the loss of summer, and luckily our favorite stores and brands are offering discounts to help us through.

Don't we all secretly 🤫 have someone whose style we admire? It might be a celebrity or maybe its a friend. We wish we could dress like her/him, but don't even know where to begin! It seems like an impossible goal. But is it? ~
~
~Can't we take inspiration from our style icon and make it our own? After all, our style should reflect who we are, so can't we take elements of that style icon and blend it with our own personal style 🤷🏻‍♀️? ~
~
~The answers are yes and yes.~
~
~
~Take one of my style icons for example, Amal Clooney. Could I ever dress as glamorously as she does? Probably not. But can I take inspiration and elements of her style and apply it to my personal style? You bet. Here's how: ~
~
~In this photo, Amal is wearing a sleeveless mock turtleneck with a long leather skirt by Givenchy.

Given that Givenchy is currently out of my budget (well currently and always), I might choose the leather skirt I found on Pinterest and pair it with this top by Frame from Nordstrom. I might add these Cristabelle earrings from Nordstrom to bring in the white color. I could add a bo**ie or a pump depending on the occasion and viola! I've got a sassy and elegant look inspired by Amal.~
~
~ Who is your style icon? Next time you think about dressing like them, remember to use elements of their style and blend them with yours. The idea is to be inspired.

To tuck or not to tuck? And if to tuck, is it full tuck, half tuck, side tuck or mid tuck?? I get asked these❓questions A LOT. And the answer is..... well it depends 🤷🏻‍♀️. ~
~
~
~
Here are a few guidelines: ~
* For formal business looks 👔👩‍⚖️, it usually makes sense to do a full tuck. Otherwise, you’ll just look sloppy. ~
* For business casual shirts, it’s ok to do a half tuck/mid-tuck UNLESS it’s super roomy and long in the back.
* An uneven hem with “tails” in the front or back, meeting on the sides by your hips, is meant to be tucked
* A short, even hem like that seen on polos and T-shirts is made to be worn untucked
* These are guidelines and not rules so be prepared to still be confused🤪~

If you’d like to ask me questions about a specific shirt, send me a message and I’ll be happy to help 😀. ~

My literal ever! There is SO MUCH you can do with these pieces. Feeling like it’s too neutral? No problem! Add a pop of color in a scarf 🧣 , a handbag 👜, a necklace, a lipstick 💄 ...the list goes on. This makes getting dressed so much easier in the morning 🙌. Who doesn’t love ❤️ that??

Since today is officially the first day of , I thought I’d share my top three Spring trends! There are many but these ☝️ are easy to transition from winter 🥶.
1. Tie-dye - Wow, this one really brings me back....wayyy back. If you love tie-dye, great. If you like it but don’t want it to take over, just wear it in a tee shirt 👕. Add a blazer and depending on the weather, slip on a denim skirt, or pants and you’re good to go!
2. LONG Shorts - Yep. You read that right. Loooooong shorts! Gone are the cut-offs (for now) that left little to the imagination, very little 🙄. Wear them tight (biker style) or wear them loose (Bermuda style). Just wear ‘em 😉.
3. Utility - I’m all for the feminine. frilly, flowy look, but there’s a time and place. The utility inspired looks blend the feminine with the bold and to me that’s a winning combination 💪💃.
