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!    Connect with Kate here: https://www.instagram.com/katestirling_/ Or her membership platform: https://www.club-thrive.com/ Follow Lise on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/ Sponsorship enquiries - sponsor this podcast and get your business known around the world email [email protected] Work with Lisa: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   #firstladystyle #confidence #fashion #stylepodcast #personalstyle

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.

There's no denying we are in the influencer era. Despite the fact some people are saying it's over...! To be able to see someone who is your size and shape wearing an outfit rather than just a skinny size 8, 5ft 8" model is so much more enticing and it's a very powerful marketing tool for brands.  I was joined today by Jo, the founder of clothing company The Cotswold Shed and Rachel from @rachellovesstyle Both ladies share their style stories and evolution over the years. We all agreed we have become more confident as we've got older but some people hold back as they get older and worry too much about what others think. Hopefully we can help people to see there is a lot of joy to be found in wearing a great outfit!   if you are enjoying the podcast, please remember to hit the follow button and leave a review. ❤️   Join my free Facebook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/stylepowerwithlisagillbe Work with me in-person on your wardrobe: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/ For any PR or sponsorship enquiries email, [email protected] Today's guests Find Jo here: https://www.thecotswoldshed.com/ Find Rachel here: https://www.instagram.com/rachel.loves.style/?hl=en   Thanks you for listening.
