33🔸Transform Your Outfit Creation With These Three Little-Known Style Rules
5/6/2024
What are your goals when you’re putting together an outfit? How do you want it to make you feel?
I confess that when I started my blog, The Space Between My Peers, almost 20 years ago (in late 2005), my reason was mostly because I, as an extravert, had alot of words. And, sadly, not alot of people to share them with.
Realistically, none of this would ever have come about if I had known and understood my Myers-Briggs type and how to set up my life ergonomically for the needs of my personality. So in this episode I’m offering the lemonade I made from the lemons my life gave me: three human-centric style "rules" to help you feel like yourself no matter where you're going or what you're doing.

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.

30🔸How Kibbe Style Archetypes Use Separates in Signature Style Strategy
4/15/2024
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.

29🔸Secrets of Stylish Aging: Transcend Fashion and Embrace Signature Style
4/8/2024
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!

28🔸Style Personality and Decision-Making: Feeling vs Thinking in Your Myers-Briggs Type
4/1/2024
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.

1/15/2024
Hey friend!
In today’s episode, I’m going to explain the style personality system behind the “What’s Your Style Personality?” quiz I built (just for fun), how it connects to Myers-Briggs, and what’s coming next around style and personality in my world.
With some time on my hands during Covid lockdowns, I set about creating a style personality quiz. I updated the language around the six style personalities that I used. And then, because everyone’s style is complex and personal, I added accent types for a total of 30 possible outcomes! In this episode, I tell you what the style personality types are, I explain the connection I discovered between this style personality model and the Myers-Briggs system, and I give a cheat code for if you find one particular question in the quiz challenging to answer.

16🔸Winter Smart Casual Outfit Templates: Three Easy Formulas
1/8/2024
Now that the holidays are behind us, are you feeling the winter wardrobe blahs? My friend, we have more than ten more weeks of winter! If you feel like you could use some fresh inspiration that won’t leave you freezing, stay tuned; I’ve got three fresh and simple winter outfit templates for you in the latest episode of the podcast.
When I went to California in November of 2022, for my advanced training in color and style, I knew I was going to be evaluated everyday for my outfits. And I did not want to play it safe. I wanted to bring the outfits that I thought were fun and cool, but I had a little bit of doubt around. Because I’m just like you (but with a little more training).
Ultimately it was a huge confirmation to my confidence, but the outfits themselves weren’t all that helpful. Because here in Spokane WA we almost never have moderate weather. It’s either hot or cold. So in this episode, I am riffing on three business casual templates, but with updates and commentary from halfway through a 5 month long winter.
