Seasonal color books

The arrival of my first shipment of printed color analysis books should have been a pure celebration—and in many ways, it was. Even while recovering from knee replacement surgery, I carefully inspected every seasonal book, boxed orders between icing sessions, and made sure each package went out with care.


But shortly after shipping the first batch, something unexpected happened.


As I flipped through the Summer book one more time, I noticed something was off. The cover said Summer, but inside? It was Spring content.


A complete mismatch.


The printer quickly corrected the error, and many of you may remember receiving a personal message from me asking you to double-check your copy. At the time, it felt frustrating—but later, it felt meaningful.

Because that printing mistake became a metaphor I couldn’t ignore.

When the Outside Doesn’t Match the Inside

That mix-up made me pause and smile. I thought the inside was wrong—but it turns out, the outside was.

And it raised a powerful question:


How many women are walking around with the wrong outside?

As an image consultant, this is one of the most common struggles I see. Many women feel disconnected from their personal style—not because they lack taste, but because they’ve lost touch with who they truly are.


When your outward appearance doesn’t reflect your inner identity, something feels off. Learning how to align your style with your true self is often the missing link between feeling confident on the inside and expressing that confidence on the outside. Getting dressed becomes confusing, frustrating, or even discouraging.


Style was never meant to be a costume. It’s meant to be an expression.


Style Begins With God’s Design

I believe our style choices flow from God’s original design.


You were created as Spirit, Soul, and Body.

  • Spirit – your God-given identity

  • Soul – your personality, thoughts, emotions, and will

  • Body – the vessel through which you express all of that


Your personality—the woman God designed—is the one who shops your closet. And when you’re disconnected from that true self, it becomes impossible for your style to reflect who you really are.


We must know ourselves before we can know our style.


Why So Many Women Feel Disconnected From Their Style

Disconnection doesn’t happen overnight. It often develops slowly through influences like:


  • Following influencers instead of inner clarity

  • Fear of rejection or standing out

  • Self-rejection or low self-esteem

  • Negative body image

  • Dressing for trends instead of truth


How many women wake up each morning choosing outfits based on what’s labeled “flattering for everyone”?


But style isn’t one-size-fits-all.


It’s personal. It’s fluid. And it’s meant to reflect you.


Discovering Your True Nature: How to Align Your Style With Your True Self

When your outer appearance aligns with your inner identity, something powerful happens.


✨ Confidence replaces confusion

✨ Getting dressed becomes joyful

✨ Your style starts speaking your name


Imagine:

  • A wardrobe that aligns with your personal color palette

  • Clothes that honor your shape and lifestyle

  • Garments that feel like you

  • Confidence rooted in identity—not trends

  • A look you love because it finally reflects who you are


Once you know who you are, you stop dressing for everyone else.

And that freedom changes everything.


This journey of alignment is part of restoring the whole woman—spirit, soul, and style.


When Style, Identity, and Confidence Align

When your outside matches the woman God designed on the inside, you don’t just look good.

You feel whole.


If you’re ready to begin aligning your outer expression with your true nature, my seasonal color books are designed to gently guide you. They help you understand the colors that harmonize with how God uniquely designed you—so getting dressed feels clearer, calmer, and more aligned with who you are becoming.


This isn’t about chasing fashion. It’s about coming home to yourself.


You were never meant to blend in. You were created to shine—with clarity, beauty, and purpose.


💛 Let this be the season you align your style (body) with your soul (personality) and your spirit (identity).

The world doesn’t need another copy. It needs you.


Your Style Starts With Stillness

Before you think about your wardrobe, pause. Let your soul settle. Begin with alignment.


A Prayer for Alignment

Lord, help me see myself through Your eyes—fearfully and wonderfully made. Guide me to live, dress, and show up in ways that honor who You created me to be. Let my outside reflect the light You’ve placed within me. Amen.


“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2
