The Real Estate Style Strategist Afton Porter

The fashion industry would love for you to believe that being stylish is about buying all the new fashion trends.
 
The pressure to own the latest and greatest.  Making you feel like the wonderful wardrobe pieces you have worked hard to earn and love to wear are no longer relevant.
 
Or how about this gem...
 
Wear whatever you love.
 
Like, if you spend enough money on the clothes you like to wear, you will somehow know how to wear them and create beautiful outfits.
 
That is a lie.
 
It doesn't matter if you have the wallet of the King of England, you can't buy style.
 
Money and buying more clothes isn't your problem.  It's knowing what to do with the clothes you have bought is what style is all about.
 
That is why I am answering the questions on the podcast today: How can you dress casual and look expensive? 
 
Style is Not About Price Tags
 Style is about how you wear the clothes you love for your body type in the right colors.  That is why I always start with color and body type dressing.
 
 
Quality Over Quantity
 
Investing in a few high-quality pieces that are versatile, comfortable, and fit well can elevate your wardrobe significantly. These key items can be styled in numerous ways, creating a plethora of outfits without needing to constantly buy new clothes. 
 
Accessorize Wisely
 
Accessories are your best friend! A simple outfit can be transformed with the right accessories. Belts, scarves, jewelry, and even hats can add that extra oomph to your attire, making it look more polished and put-together. And the best part? You can find stunning accessories at every price point.
 
Thrifting and Upcycling
 
Don't underestimate the power of thrift stores and vintage shops. They are treasure troves of unique pieces that can add character and flair to your wardrobe. Plus, upcycling — the practice of transforming existing pieces into something new — is not only budget-friendly but also environmentally conscious.
 
It's 2024.  It's time to erase these outdated myths that are keeping you from feeling stylish
 
For more insights and practical tips on mastering the art of looking expensive yet casual — especially as a realtor braving the warm weather — tune in to this week's podcast episode.
 
We'll deep-dive into how you can put items together that exudes sophistication without emptying your wallet.
 
Your style should be a reflection of who you are, and remember, confidence is your best accessory. Here's to looking fabulous and feeling great, no matter the budget!
 
Also, it's been quiet over on the podcast because I am in the process of rebranding the podcast from the Midlife Style School to Realtor Style School.  
 
This is the last of the Midlife Style School podcasts that I have recorded before the rebranding. 
 
Take note, I already updated the podcast name.  This girl doesn't delay once she makes a decision.

Book Your Call Here ----> 1:1 Consultation with Afton
The Makeover Myth Makeovers, while exciting and dramatic, often fail to deliver lasting transformation. This is because they tend to focus on external changes rather than addressing the root causes of dissatisfaction with one's appearance. They create an illusion of change, but beneath the surface, nothing has truly shifted.
That is why I coach my style clients, not just style them.  Often times it's their own self-doubt and lack of confidnece that keeps them from seeing their own beauty and showing up as a category of one in their industry.
Book a complimentry consultation call with me to see how I can help you look and feel like the iconic women that you know you are.
