On Friday mornings, I take golf lessons. Keep in mind, I have tried golfing before. But, for some reason, on this particular morning, I was so nervous. I felt genuinely anxious because I didn’t know all the rules. I still don’t know all the rules, nor do I expect to learn them all, if I’m being completely honest.
I was worried about driving the golf cart. I questioned my stance, the distance between my feet, how I held the club, and whether my follow-through was good enough. Hovering in the back of my mind were thoughts like, “I probably look awful,” “I am embarrassing myself,” and more!
As I drove the golf cart back to the “start,” unsure of where I was supposed to park it, I had a realization:
Maybe this anxious feeling is similar to what people feel when they struggle with their style.
The Fear of Getting It Wrong
Whether it’s walking into a golf course or a clothing store, the feelings can be the same:
- You don’t know the rules.
- You don’t want to make a mistake.
- You feel uncomfortable because it’s not your zone of genius.
- You may be unsure where or how to start.

👉 Unsure
👉 Scared of doing it wrong
That uneasy feeling of not knowing is how many of my clients feel before working with me. They were overwhelmed, frustrated, and quietly second-guessing every outfit they wore. Style and feeling confident in their clothes does not come easily.
The Truth About Style Confidence
Here is what I know: Style isn’t effortless and innate for everyone. It’s a skill.
And like any skill, putting outfits together and feeling confident with your style can be learned over time with the right support and guidance. I hired a golf instructor because I knew I couldn’t learn golf on my own.
That is why my clients hire me as their wardrobe stylist—to take the fear out of getting dressed, to show them how to align their wardrobe with their personal brand and professional goals, and to help them shop and put outfits together. To save them time and take away their anxious feelings.
Style Support Changes Everything
When you have someone in your corner who understands what works for your body, lifestyle, and brand, your confidence grows exponentially.
💡 You stop playing small.
💡 You stop hiding behind outdated clothes.
💡 You start showing up authentically, on brand, confidently, and ready to lead and collaborate.
