Creating The Perfect Wardrobe According To Your Lifestyle

The purpose of my Instagram account is to share affordable outfits for the everyday woman. I am a firm believer that the way you dress communicates your mood, profession, and outlook on life.

Although I have my favorite designer brands, I believe that anyone can look fabulous at any price-point. If you follow my page, then you already know I shop everywhere! Thrifting is one of my favorite hobbies while I adore the beauty of visual displays at Saks Fifth Avenue.

One shopping tip that I always give is that fashionistas should create a wardrobe according to their lifestyle. For example, a stay at home mom should have a variety of classic pieces while the workout diva could select on-trend Athleisure.

Some of my personal outfits are shared based on civic meetings, church service attendance, mom events, clients meetings, etc. Remember, when working with a personal stylist, it’s important to create the best lookbook or closet cleanout according to your individual interests. For this to be done, you must discuss your weekly activities!

If you have style questions, feel free to email me at kim@stylelifefashion.com or schedule a Personal Style Session.

Clothing Rental Programs: Save Time and Money

I shared this post on Kimberly West Styling Facebook page. But, it’s such a game-changing piece of advice that I want to post it here on the blog!

Did you know that instead of purchasing new clothing you can rent high-quality pieces?

Some of your favorite brands allow renting options with a reasonable monthly fee and the process is simple:

1. Signup

2. Browse and select styles.

3. Return the items with a pre-paid envelope.

If you love those items, you have the option to keep them with a discounted price!

Below are clothing rental companies:

Infinite Style – Ann Taylor

NY&C Closet – New York & Company

American Eagle Style Drop – Americaneagle.com

Trunk Club – Nordstrom

Rent The Runway

Additional plus-size rental programs:

Stitch Fix

Gwynnie Bee

Stylogic

Plvsh Style

Wantable

I strongly encourage clothing rental services for busy women, last-minute social events, or even to save money! How often do we wear a dress on multiple occasions? Also, do we really want an unorganized closet filled with miscellaneous pieces?

Eliminate the hassle of never having anything to wear by subscribing to one of the programs on this list.

Let us know what you think about clothing rental programs in the comment box. Give us your opinion!

Be Ever Wonderful: Personal Growth and Mindset

Personal growth is the beginning of having an altered mindset. It’s the ability to say no to unhealthy environments and yes to pure, authentic joy. Growth appears different for each individual and can’t necessarily be categorized.

I think every woman has that moment when life changes internally. Personally, this mental elevation started when there was a desire to read a thought-provoking book or recognize the early morning sunset. For transparency, it would truly surprise most people to know that I’m both fun-loving and very practical. My husband finds humor in my ability to keep our family moving like a machine.

Growing up my dad would play Earth Wind and Fire, Be Ever Wonderful. This song resonates because the last lyrics says, “don’t let the world change your mind. don’t let the world change your mind.” And how often does the world try to change our mind? We drift away from our natural upbringings to marginalize into an unknown path of adulthood.

A few steps towards achieving personal growth is through goal-setting, stepping outside of your comfort zone, and most importantly knowing yourself.

My personal philosophy is to be the author of your own story and “Be Ever Wonderful” in your own sweet way!

#OOTD or #WIW Sweet Pea Hi-Lo Off The Shoulder Blouse: Valentine’s Day Casual Look

Last Thursday was Valentine’s Day and I’m sure that everyone wanted the perfect outfit. Ever since being a kid, I have enjoyed dressing up for this holiday.

I was planning to purchase items from another store but lost track of my weekly schedule between digital marketing, business consultations, and civic meetings. Either way, I ran over to one of my favorite retailers (since college) to purchase a blouse. I already planned to wear skinny jeans and rose gold booties.

The Sweet Pea Hi-Lo Off The Shoulder Blouse was a nice addition to the items in my closet. I also wore a pair of rose gold chandelier earrings but they were not visible in the photo.

My valentine’s day gift was the bracelet seen on my wrist. As the day unfolded we enjoyed lunch and was surprised by a new family pet!
