Signature Style Systems ~ Certified Personal Stylist, Image & Color Consultant, True Colour Expert Rebecca Mielke

It’s really spring, friends! Prints and colors are abundant, legs are out, and pollen is everywhere! Print dresses are perfect for showers and graduation parties and all kinds of other spring events. In this episode, I share artistic principles for choosing prints according to your Style DNA and then tie that into personality type.
 
What is your Style DNA? DNA is an acronym: D is for your body’s design, things like color, texture, and shape; N is for your lifestyle needs, your roles, your industry, where you are geography, and so on. A is for your essential aesthetic, the vision of beauty that’s unique to you. I take you on a self-discovery journey so you can show up confidently and contribute your gifts.

Thousands of women around the globe are obsessed with finding their “Kibbe” type. About ten years ago, I went down the rabbit hole too and bought David Kibbe's Metamorphosis: Discover Your Image Identity and Dazzle As Only You Can. In this episode I rip a takeaway out of his system and relate it to how you can use separates strategically in your wardrobe.
 
If you want to save yourself the HOURS women spend trying to decipher their Kibbe type, here’s an alternative: you can do as one of my very first clients did. After I gave her her body type information and my recommendations, she asked me if I had any idea what her Kibbe type was. I was able to reverse engineer from my recommendations to a Kibbe type, which she resonated with but would never have gotten to using his methods. If you want to save yourself all those DIY hours, check out the style discovery packages at my website: signaturestylesystems.com

As women navigate different stages of life, growing in self-knowledge should mean getting dressed becomes easier. Your wardrobe should increasingly reflect your signature style. Welcome to Episode 29 of Signature Style Systems.
 
In this episode, I have tips on growing in style as we age, inspired by the life of Iris Apfel, whose style transcended fashion. 
 
On request of a podcast listener, and in consideration of the world losing the fabulous Iris Apfel recently, today I’m talking about aging without losing YOUR style. In my philosophy, this shouldn’t really be a thing because signature style is based on self-knowledge and the self-discovery journey is the journey of a lifetime. In other words, as you age, you should expect to grow increasingly stylish and in this episode I give you some practical how-tos!

Today I’m talking about how the preference for thinking or feeling in your Myers-Briggs type can inform your wardrobe decisions.
 
At the dichotomy level, the F or T in your four letter code stands for feeling or thinking. In truth, everyone feels and everyone thinks. The question is which criteria do you prioritize when making decisions? Personal criteria, that is, pertaining to people, or impersonal, that is, pertaining to data and metrics?
 
If we go a level deeper to the cognitive functions, we find two different flavors of each preference, an extraverted version and an introverted version. That is what this episode goes into with regard to how you dress.
 
Discovering your unique self and your style DNA is a self-discovery journey. In my Personality Profiling & Palette package, The Overnighter on your journey, I’ll take you a level deeper in your type than dichotomy level, just Thinking vs Feeling, to the cognitive functions.

I often get asked how I got started in this line of work. 
 
Today I’m sharing the story of how I discovered there are actually principles of art and of science that you can use to guide your style decisions from a rational perspective. I’ll give you three things I got wrong in trying to DIY my style, and one surprising thing I got right.
 
This episode is for those days when you wonder why everybody else looks normal in the clothes that are available in stores and feel like you are the only one who doesn’t.
 
I was not born knowing what to wear. I learned, and you can too!
