Whether we pay attention to it or not, style is always part of our story.
I used to look at that woman who seemed effortlessly put together, the one whose clothes spoke for her before she even said a word, and wonder how she did it. For a long time, I felt like the opposite of her.
Hi, I’m Kathryne.
My twenties were a crash course in reinvention. I was excelling in my corporate career, but inside I felt disconnected from myself, from my identity, even from the way I dressed. I had the résumé, the title, the respect… but I didn’t have a wardrobe that felt like me.
That tension led me to rebuild, piece by piece.
Armed with my business background, love of strategy, and (let’s be honest) obsession with clothes, I became a wardrobe consultant and personal stylist. Not to chase trends or rules, but to help women feel at home in their own style.
Today, my Chicago-based business is about more than clothes. It’s about presence.
Confidence. Showing up as the woman you actually want to be, in work, in life, and everywhere in between.

This is the space where I pull back the curtain on style, confidence, and the messy in-between. Think of it as the unpolished version of my work, less Instagram highlight reel, more real talk about what it takes to build a wardrobe (and presence) that actually works in the real world.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
Where conformity stops & authentic style starts: stories, strategies, and reflections on ignoring the “shoulds” and choosing what feels unapologetically you.
Corporate experience meets style expertise: insights from a career spent navigating boardrooms and wardrobes, bridging strategy with self-expression.
Simplicity over consumption: practical tools and personal experiments in cutting through the noise, investing with intention, and making less do more.
Style ROI that compounds:how the right wardrobe choices give back tenfold in time, money, and confidence.
Life, unedited: glimpses of Chicago living, home life, and the behind-the-scenes of my own evolving style.
This isn’t about more rules or another list of “must haves.” It’s about presence, identity, and the quiet confidence that comes from wearing clothes that feel like you, no performance required.
