SG Style Collective Client Kiley S. speaking from the main stage at the 
National Pork Industry Conference in July 2024

“What am I going to wear?” 😱

 

It doesn’t matter if it’s a coffee catch-up date with a friend at Java House or a speaking gig in front of 900 pork farmers and pork industry professionals. 

 

The stress of “what am I going to wear?” still weighs on your brain. 

 

Psychologists call it “cognitive load." Reducing that stress, by feeling confident in what you wear, will change your energy level and performance when you hit the big stage.

 

Kiley Schmitz is a coach for high-performers and the founder of Odyssey Resilience. She looked at her calendar in early 2024 and realized she had some big dates ahead of her, so she called me for help.

 

She’d worked from home in sweatpants and leggings for the last three years and built a tremendously successful coaching business. And now, it was time to hit the road with speaking engagements and the opening of her new, freestanding office in Carmel, IN. 

 

Kiley’s clients include Google, the U.S. Air Force, Siemens, Eli Lilly, and lots of other industry and university leaders.

 

 

Over three months this spring, we analyzed Kiley’s color and style, established a vision for her personal image, detoxed her closet(s) 🤣, and began to fill her wardrobe with pieces that complimented her body shape, accentuated her bright personality, fit her budget, and emphasized her professional gravitas.

 

Because Kiley is not messing around.💪🏽

 

And now, after her keynote “Staying Resilient in the Face of Adversity”,

she has 900 new raving fans who happen to be in the pork industry. 🐷

 

And now we have a new project! Kiley is marrying her business and life partner Chris in the summer of 2025, and we’re creating the style for their dream wedding in Montana, including the bridesmaids, groomsmen, mothers, and the bride and groom. 👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻

 

Check out Kiley and Chris’s crazy-good podcast, Redefining Resilience.

 

Always cheering YOU on-

Lady Jackets are your go-to third layer for Fall. 

 

 

The Lady Jacket is a play on the classic Chanel jacket, and it's definitely having a moment. They’re a great choice for a comfy sweater-like top layer that looks more finished than a cardigan. The structure of the jacket makes it a great option if you carry weight in your middle section. Plus, you can wear it buttoned or unbuttoned. Win-win!

 

You can find Lady Jackets in a wide variety of price points at J. Crew, Mango, Talbots, Anthropolgie, and loads of other stores.

 

If you’re ready for a style refresh, schedule a time free style chat, and let’s talk about what you need to see if working together makes sense!

I keep going back to hear Amanda Gorman’s lush new work she debuted this month, “The Sacred Scene.”

 

Not only is the way she recites her poems is so beautiful to watch, but that dress. THAT DRESS by Christian Siriano was a moment all by itself! It’s totally worth 3 minutes and 28 seconds of your day to experience this art.
