'Be the Light' - Learn How to Find & Love Your Style
Hey hey friend!
All month long, I have loved introducing you to christian style coaching and what it’s all about. I started with setting the context for what Jesus and Style had in common. I talked about WHY style was a key component in how we run on mission for God. You can read more about that here. I also talked about the four different style types and how knowing your unique style is the first step to stepping into the woman that God created you to be. If you missed it, you can read it here. Last week I shared what I believe to be the most critical step in the style assessment process and also what differentiates a christian style coach from the rest, and that is the style mission statement. This is one you don’t want to miss! Catch it here.
Today, we are going to get into the nuts and bolts of what I call my ‘Be the Light’ style framework. The ‘Be the Light’ framework is all about having you look and feel your BEST in a way that celebrates who God created you to BE. It’s based on scripture in Matthew 5:14 (MSG version):
You are here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.
This scripture is SUCH great truth in that God created us with a specific purpose, yet how we fulfill that purpose differs from one person to the other. The way YOU shine your light is different than me. And different than her. It is unique and special to YOU and you alone. The ‘Be the Light’ framework is to help show you that. To help you discover and truly see yourself as the beautiful bright light that you are, just as you ARE. Now let’s take a close look at HOW we do that and the tools that we use:
FIRST - we set up a 30 minute phone consultant to explore what true beauty means to you. We talk about obstacles or limiting beliefs to overcome. We use scripture to help reframe beauty. We dispell the lies and point to God’s truth by looking at scripture.. This is absolutely the first and most important step before we even begin to talk about style. We cannot build a beautiful house on a shaky foundation. We must set up the building blocks first, based on God’s word, what He says about YOU and with what uniqueness He created you with. We tee up the Style Mission Statement process and this is the homework we leave this first call with.
SECOND - we host a comprehensive 90 minute appointment where we go deep:
We start by reviewing and finalizing your Style Mission Statement that sets the tone for everything we do.
We then walk through the Color Code System to understand what colors highlight your features best. The Color Code System takes into account your hair color, skin tone, and eye color. There are six different types, each one designed to ENHANCE your God given beauty. This isn’t about rules or colors you should not wear; rather it’s about what colors really make you POP in such a way that enables your light to shine brighter!!
Next we talk about how to best dress your body type using the BODX System. Again, having this knowledge is NOT about rules on what you can and can’t wear; rather it’s about learning which fit and structure of clothing help to bring out your natural beauty best in the way that God has designed you! We will talk about how to style your top and bottom, how to use different pieces and strategies to create a natural flow in your outfit, emphasizing your best features.
We then talk about Face Shapes and fun things like the best glasses, haircuts and make-up to bring out your natural beauty and best features!
Finally, once go through each of the steps, we talk about your overall style and how to bring it all together under the guides of your Style Mission Statement. This is the beautiful place where Style and Jesus meet - where we use all the glorious ways that God created you and your beauty and we align it with your God given mission! Ahhhhh - goosebumps!! This is what it is all for friend! Watching God weave the pieces together is such a beautiful thing!
LASTLY, I pull together a customized capsule wardrobe lookbook where I share recommended pieces that align with your color, body type, style and most importantly MISSION. From there, you continue to have access to me through my VIP Style Group where I share monthly training, beauty based devotions, and the BEST PART: full access to me for all your style questions! Whether you need recommendations on shoes for your daughter’s wedding, or you need suggestions for your next job interview - friend - I’ve got you!
Friend - nothing makes me happier than helping other christian women to discover, embrace and fully step into the beautiful being that God created them to BE! If this is something you’d like to hear more about - I would LOVE to set up a quick phone chat. You can schedule a 15 minute discovery call with me HERE. In the meantime, NEVER forget that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL - just as you ARE! <3
In beauty & grace,
