In today's episode, we're diving deep into the transformative power of accessories. Accessories have always been the finishing touch, the punctuation mark to any outfit, but in 2024, they are more than just adornments; they're statements of personal style and identity. From bold statement pieces to delicate accents, accessories have the power to convey mood, personality, and intention the moment you walk through the door. Whether it's a sleek pair of earrings, a statement belt, or a vibrant bag, each accessory tells a story and adds depth to your ensemble. But choosing the right pieces can be daunting, which is why I'm thrilled to announce my new workshop, The Accessories Workshop, designed to empower women with the knowledge and confidence to curate their accessory collection with intention and flair. In this live class, we'll explore everything you need to know about accessories: from how to choosing the right jewelry, belt and bag for you and for your outfits to learning the art of layering and mixing and matching pieces effortlessly and how to use accessories to express your unique personality, and make a lasting impression in any setting.

If you got intentional about what you were wearing and what you're shopping for - imagine the ripple effect on your bank account, and on your personal and professional goals by the end of 2024. In order to do that, you need to know what is IN this year and what is OUT.

Transformation can carry this connotation that you aren't good enough right now and that's far from the case. The magic is understanding how good enough you are and then elevating from that energy. Once you can start to see yourself in a new way, and learn HOW to bring your style vision to life, that's when the magic happens. That's when you look in the mirror each day and feel differently - but without YOU having to change. In this episode I'm walking you through how to achieve that transformation for yourself with examples of both how I've transformed and how my clients have as well. What most women are missing is the steps to make that vision a reality based on your body, your style, and your goals - and that's what I teach you how to master in CHIC. For a limited time (through 1/21/24) I'm offering TWO bonuses in addition to all you get in CHIC: A private additional group coaching call this month with Yours Truly for personalized support {only for those who enroll now through 1/21} A WORKSHOP PASS for 2024.

To manifest something means to make your dreams, goals, and aspirations a reality by believing you can achieve them. It seems simple enough, but how do you actually believe you can achieve something and how can you make your dreams a reality this year? In this episode we are going to talk about the secrets of manifestation and the best kept manifestation secret of all: your style. What does your clothing have to do with your goals? Do you have to wait to start dressing for the part you want or should you make a shift in how you're showing up now? At the beginning of 2023 I made a vision board and by the end of the year, almost every single thing on that board came to fruition. I'm going to walk you through how you can make your dreams a reality this year and some of what we cover may just surprise you. You're going to walk away with tangible tips, inspiration to take into your closet, and ways to manifest your best year yet in 2024.

If you find yourself not able to really pinpoint what your style is, if you find your closet is full but getting dressed is hard, and if you feel yourself shopping links without really identifying why, you might be over-influenced. But in this society where we find ourselves shopping online and from influencer posts and links and try-ons, it can be so tempting to feel like you need the next new, thing in order to stay on-trend. And that is actually the thing that might be getting you farther away from your style. So what are the questions you can ask yourself before you purchase another thing that you aren't sure you really need? And how can you get closer to your style with what you already own? That's exactly what we are going to break down in this episode.

From dreading walking into her closet to being in love with her style and getting dressed - in this special episode, you hear from Amanda, a dear CHIC VIP client who explains how her style transformation led to transformation in her life. For Amanda, ever since Covid times, she had a hard time figuring out how to get dressed again -  because her circumstances changed. Can you relate? Plus, she just went through some major body changes and even though she had a walk in closet that she painted her favorite shade of pink - walking into that closet was not a part of the day she enjoyed. Until - everything changed for her. That dread getting dressed turned into joy. The style frustration turned into a glow. The hiding herself turned into compliments galore.

Your self-image is how you see yourself, which is arguably the centerpiece of everything you do whether it be personal or professional. How you see yourself will reflect back to you in all aspects of your day to day, which ultimately, adds up to how you live your life. If you want to elevate your style, it starts with your self-image and both the outer and the inner parts of you work together. The image you have of yourself comes from your past, but it doesn't have to dictate your future. In this episode I'm walking through how you can shift your self-image to create the definition of yourself that you desire to have, and how you will be perceived, as a result.   Style Resources and Ways to Work Together CHIC: https://chic.juliekraus.com/ Body Shape Workshop: https://shop.juliekraus.com/shape Sign Up for the Sunday Style Newsletter: http://juliekraus.com/style-sunday-newsletter FREE Style Elevation Masterclass:https://shop.juliekraus.com/elevation-masterclass Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliekrausxo/

Every person has a brand. Your brand is what someone thinks of when they think of you. It's your image, it's your reputation - and you get to control the narrative of what that is. From the first impression you make to how you're viewed at work and in your social circles, your brand is who you are and when you can get intentional about what that is, it can change so much more than you realize. Does this mean you ditch who you really are to be someone you're not? Absolutely not. When you can combine who you authentically are with how you want to be perceived, that's the sweet spot. In this episode we're going to be walking through how to become your own publicist to create the narrative of your brand from the inside out.

This is the missing piece to most women's style and without it, you might feel like you never feel like you have this “style thing” quite figured out. Having a style vision is crucial to make a lasting impression through visual cues. It goes beyond simply following fashion trends or buying the latest clothing items; instead, it involves creating a cohesive and authentic representation of oneself through style choices. A style vision acts as a guiding principle that helps shape a unique and identifiable personal aesthetic. One of the key benefits of having a style vision is that it fosters self-confidence. When you have a clear sense of your personal style, OWNERSHIP of your style and know how to showcase it, you exude confidence. Dressing in a way that aligns with your vision allows you to feel comfortable and empowered in your own skin. Whether it's a polished and professional look or a quirky and eclectic ensemble, having a style vision gives you the confidence to embrace your individuality and stand out from the crowd. In this episode I'm walking you through utilizing a style vision to save money and create a style you love.
