1:41
I'm the question that we're going to be
1:42
asking is how do you figure out what the
1:45
best version of you looks like and who
1:49
better than to have Susan Jacobs joining
1:51
us she is an image and wardrobe
1:54
consultant who helps her clients
1:56

1:58
and profitability through authentic
2:00
style at the leader in the industry sue
2:02

2:05

2:07
actually the host of her own TV show sue
2:09
around the city that's kind of cool
2:11
actually and was thrilled to be a
2:13
member in the industries featured member
2:16

2:19
she inspires men and women to align who
2:22
they are on the inside with how they
2:25
want to present themselves on the
2:26
outside by making strategic wardrobe
2:28
choices that leads to a newfound
2:30
confidence and unstoppable energy so
2:34
without further ado I'm going to bring
2:36
in our special guest Susan Jacobs hey
2:40
sue how you doing today I'm wonderful
2:43
thank you for having me here oh my gosh
2:45
I'm so excited you're here we've been
2:47
chatting it up right before the show and
2:49
we have so much to talk about but Before
2:51
we jump into the question I want to ask
2:53
you would I ask all of my guests what is
2:56
your little white lie do you know what I
2:59
thought about that so I will share no
3:03
judgment okay and I love your parents so
3:06
I have to say in the last couple of
3:08
years probably three years those little
3:10
white lies can change so this is a
3:12
recent one I was used to being always
3:16
having a suntan so when the summer came
3:19
you know I would sport around in dresses
3:22
bare legs you know skirts to the knees
3:24
but then I had you know a little bit of
3:28
scare with stun and I I do not do that
3:30
anymore so I feel like a little white
3:33
so I mean on this I think you can hide a
3:38
lot of things we can have a great tan so
3:40
I avoided yeah and I mean Here I am
3:43
saying don't worry about it ladies you
3:46
don't just get out there and have fun so
3:48
I thought why am I wearing in sweltering
3:50
weather cute little dresses and tunics
3:53
and then it would have the cropped
3:55
little Tillis tights on and it was
3:58
restrictive and I'll tell you do what it
4:01
was darn hot and I would get it in the
4:03
car turn on the air-conditioner bill oh
4:05
my gosh can't wait to get home and feel
4:07
these off and then it was like you know
4:10
what I need to embrace this because I
4:12
know that I'm the one that notices those
4:15
white legs that aren't as perfect as
4:18
so do you know what I'm just going to do
4:20
it so it would you know what this is
4:22
liberating because I know yeah and I
4:26
know that I'm the one that notices the
4:29
most right now I know that some of those
4:31
people that might be watching Oracle
4:32
maybe for a minute there is a you can
4:34
check it out but really it's just
4:36
another we are our own worst critics so
4:39
oh so true and it is the mindset I mean
4:43
it is definitely the mindset we look in
4:44
the mirror and we go and we pick
4:45
ourselves apart right oh I don't like
4:48
the way that looks oh my legs are too
4:51
right oh my gosh yeah so that's it if
4:55
you have so if you have a great pair of
4:56
shoes or some cool jewelry no one is
4:59
looking at those legs so that was white
5:03
by and I'm so happy because I love color
5:06
I totally love that no I mean tell us a
5:10
little bit about how you became this
5:12
image and wardrobe consultant a little
5:14
bit about your story and then we're
5:15
gonna jump into that question on you
5:18
know how do you figure out what looks
5:19
best so to be very succinct I was one of
5:23
those people who other people came to
5:25
throughout my career as a teacher in
5:27
education just say in my friends in
5:30
university what should I be looking feet
5:32
I should wear and to be quite honest
5:33
Karen I had to wear school uniform for
5:35
13 years all through grade school so you
5:39
know the creativity came on the weekends
5:41
and I'm kind of just do it so but I kind
5:44
of used to like to play with clothing
5:45
and still do and it evolved and the
5:48
other part of the piece of my role is an
5:51
image and wardrobe consultant is I came
5:55
from a place of as a kid where
5:57
confidence wasn't something that came
5:58
easy to me I was not the most confident
6:01
youngster when I stepped into that
6:03
confidence realizing wow what a waste of
6:07
time to be focused on what I wasn't
6:09
because I know these other things right
6:11
I feel like I bring that to the table I
6:14
can relate I guess that feels like to be
6:17
very hostile cockiness or one area but
6:21
not you confident in other areas so but
6:24
kind of where it landed so I mean would
6:27
it be would it be fair to say that
6:28
people come to you to to help
6:31
then figure out what the best version of
6:34
them looks like they need help with that
6:36
it that when it come to you yes that's a
6:38
great summation because you know that
6:41
without looks like to each person is
6:43
different there's parts of that story
6:45
that we sort out along the way because
6:47
oftentimes they will call for one reason
6:50
and by the end of that first call it's
6:52
like wow diamond even why I called you
6:55
so guys this is what I really need you
6:58
can help me so is there like a single
7:01
one little tip that you want to share
7:02
that somebody might like answer the
7:04
question that might help them towards
7:06
that figuring out how the best or what
7:09
the best version of them looks like with
7:11
your piece a tip that you might want to
7:12
give us I I would say first of all if
7:16
you hear that question and you have no
7:18
idea it's time to do some self
7:22
exploration haha some time and think
7:26
about it oh my goodness so this is very
7:27
timely the post I shared span on my
7:30
business page with an email comment from
7:33
a client I haven't seen for you haven't
7:35
met her or work with her but she does
7:37
have the homework that I sent and she
7:40
wrote the word that this is where I'm
7:43
going to say she said when I read the
7:45
question what is your feel good what is
7:48
your feel good look for you she said I I
7:50
had no idea and she's like I feel
7:53
embarrassed about that
7:55
but you know how did I reach this
7:57
pinnacle in my business career and not
8:00
know what feels good for me I think
8:03
women need to take some time and just
8:06
think about that what yeah what when do
8:08
you feel I've got this you know let's
8:11
not look like and trying to duplicate it
8:14
more often that's a great question so
8:16
I'm asking this ask our viewers right
8:18
now I put the question up on the screen
8:19
what is your feel good look for you what
8:23
would that look like for you give us
8:24
some comments in there and if and if you
8:27
put them in there we'll put them up on
8:28
me on the screen right here
8:30
and then we're going to continue right
8:32
so what do you suggest for those who
8:33
want to start they're gonna look at
8:34
themselves in the mirror right and are
8:37
they going to just look at the different
8:39
pieces of them or try on different
8:40
clothes or how does this work exactly
8:42
what's the first thing they should do
8:45
I ask my clients of pregnant clients you
8:48
know do you notice that you get
8:50
particular compliments when you wear a
8:51
certain something or maybe it's a color
8:54
or what is it that you find that you are
8:57
drawn to when you go shopping you don't
8:59
know and if they go on like this then I
9:02
think those are sort of some cues to
9:05
help you focus in zero in on it are you
9:07
a person who loves scarves okay do you
9:10
have some ah but you don't know how to
9:13
tie them okay we can solve those
9:15
problems there are many people who have
9:18
beautiful jewelry but they don't know
9:20
how to accessorize they don't know how
9:21
to put it together so that is something
9:24
that I really love to help people put it
9:26
together I love I like that it's so we
9:29
have somebody online sue that says a
9:32
tunic and leggings earthy jewelry
9:34
something fun and relaxed
9:36
that's her go to feel good and then
9:39
we're gonna put one more up Joey says I
9:41
love wearing she can easily easy with a
9:44
little happy face I am NOT an accessory
9:46
girl instead I like a closing piece to
9:48
be the accent so that's interesting
9:50
there's two different things they saw
9:52
those Joey works with you and I know
9:53
that you don't know that so yes and the
9:56
thing is too that both of these women
9:58
couldn't be more contrasted style
10:01
personality so that's really important
10:04
and if you don't know what that is
10:06
that's something that I do and I'm so
10:08
appointment figure out what coop are you
10:11
are you someone who's dramatic and you
10:13
love to wear hair basically are you
10:16
someone who is more about organic and
10:19
they love all things cotton limited
10:21
tackle e in boho and feminine classic
10:24
chic yes any of those this is great
10:29
carry this feminine and classic I just
10:33
put that up there and Darla here I'm a
10:35
jeans and classy boho girl I like
10:37
bracelets not necklaces this is great
10:39
great comments guys thank you so much
10:41
for participating in this I want to push
10:44
this a little bit farther because you
10:45
know this whole movement is about loving
10:47
the ages are in and and acknowledging
10:50
the lies that we tell herself and we
10:52
know that this is how it started with me
10:54
correct and for the longest time as I
10:57
self in the mirrors this was starting to
10:58
come out it was not resonating with me I
11:01
was looking and I had this whole mind
11:02
SEC going that I was no longer sexy I
11:04
was no longer good-looking was something
11:06
wrong with this and once I'd push my way
11:09
through that I realized that really what
11:11
I was looking at was that I needed to
11:13
change some of the things that I was
11:14
wearing some of the makeup in fact I
11:17
literally put makeup on I put lipstick
11:19
on before I come on shows now because
11:20
the coloring has to change my coloring
11:24
correct so as we get older would you say
11:26
and as our coloring changes as we get
11:29
older maybe what used to look good on us
11:31
no longer does this is so true and this
11:34
is curative ladies out there if you are
11:36
still doing what you did five years ago
11:39
I'm even going to say ten because I know
11:42
that happens life is busy okay time for
11:46
a reboot right and I want to say also to
11:50
it's not that difficult it does take a
11:52
step back and you said to me you know
11:55
what would be the best version of you it
11:58
does take some time to think about that
12:00
but it does start inside right it
12:04
definitely because you can be all dolled
12:07
up as the most expensive beautiful
12:09
outfit but if you don't feel it it's
12:11
right and and I know that Michael style
12:17
has changed I mean if you if you go back
12:19
ten years I was the girl who wore
12:21
five-inch heels I was the girl who wore
12:23
earrings that literally I mean I'm gonna
12:25
say this out loud because that's what we
12:27
call them we called them nipple dusters
12:28
they saw earrings and that was my style
12:31
and that was how I showed up and I was
12:33
known for that it spiky hair and the
12:35
whole thing now we move forward into
12:37
tears later I've got great silver hair
12:40
that's coming in I can't wear high heels
12:42
like that any more nor would I want to
12:44
I'm going to break my neck and even
12:46
though I I still think that high heels
12:49
are really look great for legs it's just
12:52
not it's just not feasible and
12:53
physically possible and sometimes you
12:55
have to acknowledge that our bodies
12:57
change right and we can't do what we
12:59
used to do it doesn't mean it's a bad
13:00
thing it just means there's something
13:01
even better out there to start using
13:03
right it's so German it really tops your
13:07
sigh and I tell you I love that look by
13:11
the way that you described I can
13:12
resonate my mare would be down to here
13:15
very early and the higher the shoe the
13:18
better isin like a better shoes let's be
13:22
honest we can still be all that and miss
13:25
top and modern and current and relevant
13:28
in our age that way we are exactly the
13:31
way we are right because there are ways
13:34
to camouflage all those bit sets and
13:37
let's just say let's showcase all the
13:39
beautiful aspects and every single woman
13:42
has many of those we want to shift
13:44
around and start focusing on a lot do
13:47
you Morgan I will tell you for yes I
13:50
tried to iron my hair because I didn't
13:52
like the curls oh that was such a
13:55
nightmare that it's like you know what
13:57
let it go and and I get it because you
14:02
know I was coloring my hair every three
14:03
weeks because I did not want to be this
14:06
way and now I can't even imagine going
14:10
back I mean truly I can't imagine going
14:13
back so you know this is this has been a
14:15
really interesting conversation and
14:18

15:28
nice so for ladies who were out there
15:31
for maybe you know this is jogged a
15:33
little something in you look around what
15:35
do you surround yourself with do you
15:37
have a pond in your yard do you love
15:39
flowers do you like clean and shiny at
15:42
all brand-new that is an indicator of
15:44
your personal style if you are someone
15:47
who's surrounded by all or the elements
15:49
but you are decked out every day for
15:51
work in the corporate structured suit
15:53
there's going to be a dissonance there
15:56
you need to embrace those things that
15:59

16:01
inside to come out and say we're me so I
16:05
