In this episode, I’m sharing something I discovered back when I was in university: an overlap between William Sheldon’s somatotypes and the 16 personality system, Myers-Briggs. In the 1940s, William Sheldon developed a system that categorized people into three basic body types: endomorphs, mesomorphs, and ectomorphs. I’ll explain how somatotype, or body contour line, informs fabric choices and how you can adapt your fabric choices to fit your preferences.

Have you ever wondered just how many clothes should a woman have in her wardrobe? Do you tend to keep too many or to buy too few?   Most people have a vague sense of whether or not they have the right amount of clothes. In this episode, I’m explaining how you can know for sure.   Alot of people have too many, plenty of people don’t have enough, and it is entirely possible to have both: too many of the wrong things and not enough of the right things. That’s why I built The Wardrobe Pyramid. It’s a downloadable guide, 5 Steps to a Closet Full of Enough.

Do you see spending on clothes for yourself as an indulgence? If you follow Dave Ramsey, that might be a logical conclusion. His EveryDollar budget percentages don’t even include a category for clothing! No wonder we are confused, and millions are suffering mom guilt!    Welcome to Episode 58 of Signature Style Systems. In this episode, I’d like to propose shifting our thinking around clothing budgeting from either deprivation or indulgence to stewardship. Clothing clearly fits into the category of need. But clothing is also a means of communication. By what you wear, you are communicating who you are.
