In this lively and insightful episode of The Make Room Show, Jennifer Ford Berry is joined by fashion expert Shari Braendel, author of "Help Me Jesus, I Have Nothing to Wear" and founder of the "27 Hanger Closet" system. Together, they share expert tips on simplifying your wardrobe, finding clothes that make you feel confident, and why it's essential to let go of clothing items that no longer serve you. Shari's unique approach of limiting your wardrobe to 27 pieces offers a fresh take on capsule wardrobes, making room for the items you truly love while decluttering the rest. They also dive into color analysis, how to pick the best handbag, and Shari's "game-changing" tip for jeans shopping.Key Learning Points:• 27 Hanger Closet: Simplify your wardrobe by curating 27 key pieces—6 bottoms, 12 tops, 4 layering pieces, and 3 special items—allowing easier outfit planning and less clutter.• Color Analysis: Wearing the right colors makes a significant impact on how you look and feel. Avoid black as it can make you look tired and older. Instead, pick 1-2 neutrals and a pop color that suits you.• Handbag Hack: Match your handbag color to your hair color for a versatile, go-to bag that coordinates with everything.• Seasonal Closet Swaps: Even in warmer climates like Florida, it's beneficial to rotate your wardrobe seasonally to refresh your look and keep things current.• Cost Per Wear: Invest in high-quality pieces you'll wear frequently rather than splurging on items for special occasions.• Jeans Shopping Hack: Measure the rise of your favorite jeans to find the perfect fit every time you shop.• Letting Go of Guilt: Release clothing that doesn't fit, feel good, or serve your current style, even if it cost you a lot. Donate to shelters where your items can benefit others.• Trend Awareness: Staying in style doesn't mean constantly buying new clothes; it's about curating what works best for your body and lifestyle.• Seasonal Planning: Be strategic about shopping; know what you need and build your wardrobe intentionally.• The Emotional Closet: Clothes hold memories, but learning to detach and move on can bring freedom and space for new possibilities.--Free Denim Guide!: https://www.stylebycolor.com/denimShari Braendel, founder of Style by Color, inspires women to new levels of confidence through her digital products, style programs, and YouTube channel.As the author of *Help Me, Jesus, I Have Nothing to Wear*, and creator of the Color Code System and Closet Outfit Planner, Shari has been featured on ABC News, Focus on the Family, and More To Life Christian TV Network.She's spoken at over 500 churches and women's conferences worldwide, drawing from her many years in the color analysis industry to challenge women's beliefs about themselves.Since 2010, Shari has certified over 400 women through the Style by Color Academy, providing comprehensive training for future Color Analysis specialists and Christian Image Consultants.She also founded the Women's Matter Initiative, offering Color Confidence Workshops to nonprofits serving women coming out of distress and abuse.

Happy Mother's Day, Mama! This is a super special episode…not just because it's in honor of Mother's Day, but because there will be 4 mamas speaking life over you today!  3 of my dear friends in life and business—Jennifer Ford Berry, Amy Debrucque, and Becky Kopitzke are joining me for this conversation. These lovely mamas are all members of the mastermind I've had the honor of being a part of for a while now, they are also authors, speakers, podcasters, coaches, wives, and mothers. We talk often about how these multiple roles take a lot of our time and energy and brainstorm together on a weekly basis about how we can thrive in various seasons of motherhood and live a more integrated life where family and business exist to support one another.   And that's what today's conversation is about. Thriving in each season of motherhood. Integrating our different roles in different seasons. And what it looks like to work on our own personal growth along the way. This is a beautiful conversation filled with vulnerability and stories as we share about our own personal struggles, times of worry, moments of judgement, and times we grappled for control…as well as how we got to the other side of those tough moments. This episode is packed with truths and encouragement!   I'm excited for you to get to know Jennifer, Becky, and Amy more…these women are also my co-hosts for The Focus Retreat happening this September in beautiful Kentucky. This episode is a great opportunity to get to know them more so you can connect with who will be speaking into your life and business this fall at the retreat. We have unique perspectives and convictions, but always manage to find common ground as women who have hearts for Jesus and encouraging other moms through our businesses and ministries.     I adore these women and know you will, too.
