Style By Dani

I just worked with a client—a busy mom who told me she felt “fluffy around the middle.” She wanted to enjoy summer with her kids, say yes to the ice cream runs, family barbecues, and vacation photos without feeling like she had to diet first.
The best part? A few days after we finished styling her new wardrobe, she texted me from vacation.
“I walked past a mirror in the hotel lobby, caught my reflection, and actually thought… Wow. You look great!”
That’s the power of wearing clothes that work with your body instead of against it.
You don’t need to lose 10 pounds before you deserve to feel confident. Sometimes the right styling tricks can make you look taller, leaner, and more balanced—while you enjoy every scoop of summer.
These 3 summer style tricks make you look instantly slimmer ~
1. Wear a Column of Color
2. Create an Hourglass Illusion
3. Choose Soft, Drapey Fabrics

You don’t have to spend the summer hiding behind oversized T-shirts.
Instead, choose pieces that are just as soft and comfortable but work a little harder for you. When your clothes create balance and flattering proportions, you’ll spend less time worrying about your tummy and more time making memories.
And who knows? Maybe you’ll catch your reflection on vacation and think exactly what my client did:
“Wow… you look great!”

One of the joys of my job is meeting many new and interesting people. Recently, a group of awesome ladies hired me for a sister's weekend to answer some style questions. Because, as one sister put it, "we were raised with the cows (we grew up on a dairy farm in Wyoming), but we were literally raised with the cows, and it is SO showing right now." In an effort to teach fashion guidelines, I found myself at a downtown hotel, changing clothes (to demonstrate different looks), matching colors and talking all things figure types with the funnest group of sisters. We had a blast, the sisters learned a ton, although it could have been entertaining to have a few cows, sadly they did not make the trip. I learned that it's never too late to become the best version of you!
