Why Your Best Style Is All About You
Over the past 20+ years of helping women find that aha moment — whether it’s cleaning out their closets, restyling what they already own, or finding a few new pieces — I’ve never met a single body that couldn’t have that transformative moment. And I’ve never met two bodies that were exactly alike. Realizing that truth over and over again has taught me something invaluable: every shape and size can have that wow moment when they finally see themselves differently. To get there, we usually have to forget about body types, ignore fashion rules and trends, and embrace the body we have right now — whether it’s a transitional phase or not.
Your Proportions Are One of a Kind
Here’s a quick example: I’m 5’7”, but I wear petites on the bottom and can wear talls on top. That doesn’t sound “normal,” right? The usual wisdom says petites are for anyone under 5’4”, but my inseam? It’s a petite-friendly 25 inches — almost toddler length. If I listened to conventional advice, I’d feel like something was wrong with me. But the truth is, it’s just who I am. It’s never going to change, and I wouldn’t want it to. It’s a reminder to stop comparing yourself to others and instead see how something works on you. That’s why the side-by-side comparisons in the Adjust My Crown app are so powerful. You’re not looking at how jeans fit someone else — you’re looking at how two styles fit you.
Compare two jean leg options — on your body. Compare two denim shades — on your shape. Compare two rises to see which one hits your waist just right — today, on today’s body.
The key is not to worry about how something looks on someone else or what they recommend. Take every bit of advice with a grain of salt, and focus on how it looks and feels on you. That’s it. That’s all that really matters. If you love how you feel and look, that confidence will naturally follow.
Why I Don’t Post My Own Outfits
I’m here to support you — to curate thoughtful options, help you maximize cost-per-wear, and guide you through closet cleanouts. But I’m not here to model looks on my own body because it doesn’t help you find your best self. I’ll give you ideas and tips, but they’re meant for you to consider through the lens of your own body. Sure, I’m not a fan of being in front of the camera, but that’s not the real reason — it just feels irrelevant. What I wear or how it looks on me won’t help you discover your own style. Be skeptical of any recommended “finds” — even mine. Always ask yourself: Does this feel good on me? Does it fit my proportions and lifestyle right now?
I’m here for you. If you have challenges or requests, send them my way. Let’s figure it out together.
Download the Adjust My Crown app and start comparing clothes on your own body. Because your proportions aren’t the problem. They’re the secret.
And remember: always be a thoughtful skeptic, even of my picks. Your body is one of one. Your style should be too.
