In this episode, Vicki Atkinson and I are with stylist, and my sister-in-law, Lindsey Bauer.
We are so delighted to air this conversation with Lindsey as she shares nuggets from her long career in the fashion industry involving design, manufacturing, and retail.
She tells us about the geometry of looking long and lean instead of fruit shaped.
Lindsey tells us why we shouldn’t buy clothes at Costco.
We talk through Lindsey’s top three priorities when buying new clothes.
Vicki and I ask her about her process of styling a client and why she starts at the closet, not at the store.
Lindsey shares what she has learned along the way about color and enhancing that sense.
And we bring this episode full circle to creativity when we talk about my brother, Jay, who is also incredibly creative. She tells us about how living on a boat with no square corners constantly challenges their ingenuity. Lindsey tells us how they tackle it together.
This is a great episode about another facet of creativity – style. Lindsey gives us some great encouragement about how to be comfortable in our own skin.
We know you’ll love it!

The Heart of the Matter 
I would definitely say that I don’t have a particular style, and could use some encouragement and inspiration so will be giving this a listen. It’s great to get to know a bit more about stylists like Lindsey, as it’s great to find out what inspires them!

Oh, so you’re saying my outfit of a nice dress shirt and sweater on top and rumpled sweatpants/pajamas on the bottom for my Zoom meeting isn’t actually very fashionable? C’mon Vicki and Wynne, you guys trying to give me a hint to up my wardrobe? Ha ha, love it. Can’t wait to listen later today!

You have me laughing, Brian! Well, she does talk about athleisure which was a term I wasn’t familiar with. Perhaps you are just ahead of the trend!

I chuckled when Lindsey said not to buy clothing that doesn’t speak to your soul. Nothing speaks to my soul! I’m a fashion disaster. And Lindsey wasn’t exaggerating when she noted that menswear is a better value then women’s clothes. My three year old grandson’s tiny little jeans have deeper pockets than mine! And what’s with all the fake pockets in women’s slacks? Thanks for the venting opportunity. I enjoyed the podcast with Lindsey. 🙂

An important skill for sure. One that I’m still working to get right but I’m lucky to have Lindsey to help!
