By the time we have completed The Art of Wardrobe, you will have shed the beliefs and products that editors, brand managers and advertising executives have sold you. We will not challenge you to change what you wear, your hair style or the color of your lips. Our objective is to convince you that you have always possessed all you need to present yourself to the world as yourself with poise, integrity and power.
You will recognize every unused lipstick in the back of your drawer as a battle lost in the war for your money, confidence and time. You will apply new knowledge to that unused lipstick and reclaim your power. You will replace every belief they snuck into your subconscious with knowledge of your own beauty and desires. And you will do it with ease and grace.

Competitve Advantage
Competitve Advantage is a choice. You may make choices that create competitive value if you have:
Your Goal: Decisions Supported by Competitive Knowledge
- Acceptance that you cannot not be in competition to gain what you want and keep what you have
- Awareness of your fields of competition where you engage with competitors
- Access to competitive knowledge and expertise
Your Goal: Decisions Supported by Competitive Knowledge
Your Questions:
Won't everyone who reads Art of Wardrobe have the same competitive advantage?No. People are the only resource on our Earth that cannot be replicated. Even a clone of you will not have your memory and experience. Every person who applies The Art of Wardrobe is unique, therefore every application is different. The key differences between our Art of Wardrobe experiences are:
- What we want, have and value
- Where we compete, and our approach to competition
- How much we are willing to risk, and how much risk we are willing to take
- How we adapt to change, and how we create change.
- Our hopes and dreams

The season of style is upon us in Lipstick Red
Lipstick Red | Now we’re talking. A touch of blue in your Bordeaux. This is not fire-engine red or cranberry. It is deeply red. Get ready for leather. |
Pantone says | A deeper, more dramatic sensual red makes its imprint on fall, particularly in cosmetics. |
Priority Item | Renoir Red lipstick from Marilyn Miglin. The original, classic formula in gold. It’s the perfect red for Fall 2010, presented with understated elegance. Still, no matter how great it looks on your lips or fingertips, never ever touch up at the table. |
$ | Start by editing the reds you likely have in hand: Lips, nails, clothing, outerwear, accessories, shoes… Narrow down to the vital few that meet the color expectation, and then stop. If you have no Lipstick Reds in anything, you have permission from The Epaulettes to take a few dollars to the flea market. Have fun, you deserve a great red! |
$$ | If this is your red (like Admiral Tzu), find a new silk blouse or sweater. Remember quality counts, not where you shop or how much you spend. A little sheen or shine is OK, and it will serve you well through the holidays. You are buying red, so this is a highly reusable wardrobe basic. If this is not your red (like Admiral Mu), it is your new pedicure color. |
$$$ | One word: Leather. Perhaps a divine briefcase or journal cover, or a skirt in your perfect shape. Oooohhh…boots! |
$$$$ | It’s time to switch out the rugs. Bring back the antique orientals that are flooded with Persian red. |
Caution | Red is essential, and Lipstick Red is lush. The amount of red in your wardrobe, whether it is on you or around you, must suit you. Be true to your signature style. If it is not your red, don’t force it. |
