Donโt Do It Alone- How Finding the Right Stylist Helped Me Own My Style (and Fall in Love with My Body)
Let me tell you something I’ve learned the fabulous way: if you want to own your style, stop doing it alone.
Yesterday, while I waited for the grand arrival of our new baby (yes—we're on baby watch!), I had an appointment with my stylist, the brilliant DaniAnn Rawls. And let me just say—I was in heaven.
Now, I’ve always been a bold woman with a strong presence. I coach leaders, speak on global stages, and exude confidence. But even I—yes, even me—had started to feel a little “meh” about my wardrobe. The sparkle was fading. The fun was gone. My closet felt like a storage unit full of mismatched decisions and Amazon regrets. Can you relate?
Then DaniAnn walked in with gowns, color, and confidence—and reminded me who I am.
Let’s start with the first mission: finding a dress for my son’s wedding. She brought five gowns. Five! The moment I slipped into the sage green one, I gasped. Not usually my color, but honey—she nailed it. My husband’s eyes lit up. I felt like royalty. No, scratch that. I was royalty.
But that was just the beginning.
Style is power—and color is joy.
She surprised me with bold, unapologetic color:
๐งก A bright orange fringed dress with a sparkle jacket—showstopper.
๐ A jewel-toned knotted dress with a cape blazer that made me grin like a kid.
โค๏ธ A similar piece in red, because yes—one power color is never enough.
๐ค A dramatic black dress with a front split that revealed slim pants—perfect for business meetings where I command the room.
๐ A red shirt dress with cool tie accents.
๐จ A muted, multicolored duster sweater for cozy glam.
๐ Red bodysuits. Green bodysuits. Diamond-detailed heels. Nude business shoes. Accessories galore.
I was like a kid in a couture candy store.
But then—oh, the magic—we dove into my closet.
Turns out, I’d forgotten the gems I already owned. Dani helped me see my pieces with fresh eyes. I remembered how much I used to love fashion.
I had been buying random pieces online—trying to force something that didn’t feel like me. And when it didn’t work? Grumpy. Matronly. Ugh. Out it went.
We donated seven bags (yes, seven!) of clothing to a domestic violence shelter. Talk about turning clutter into a blessing.
Then she did what only a great stylist can do:
She saw me. The real me.
She reminded me of my signature Pegine pieces—the ones that radiate power, joy, and bold confidence.
Style isn't just about clothes. It's about seeing yourself with love.
DaniAnn takes my measurements like an artist planning a masterpiece. She knows the challenge—big boobs, no hips, no butt, a belly, and super skinny legs. Dressing my body is not for amateurs. And yet—she always gets it right.
She knows my brand: I dress with ecstasy.
I dress for joy, alignment, and leadership presence.
And she never tries to dim that—she elevates it.
She even had one last surprise—an outfit that made me squeal with joy. Only my husband, daughter, and the fabulous Mikki Williams have seen it. I’m keeping it secret for now, savoring that electric moment of YES! This is me!
Here’s what I want you to know, Power Woman:
You don’t have to do this alone.
You don’t have to figure out your look by trial and error, drowning in returns and fashion frustration. You deserve to have someone who sees you, gets your body, gets your brand, and brings out your brilliance through clothes.
Find a stylist who makes you fall in love with your body and your presence. One who reminds you of who you are before you speak a word.
Because how you show up in the world matters.
Your clothes aren’t just fabric—they’re your armor, your sparkle, your voice before you say a word.
Own your style.
Invest in you.
And find the guide who helps you shine.
Thank you, Dani. You are a gift.
And to every woman reading this—yes, you—go find your Dani.
You’re worth it.
