Family is everything. AND.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I knew when I first got pregnant that I was not going to be the stay-at-home mom type, and I wanted to wear more than just one hat.

(All power and respect to the women that hold it down at home, though! We all choose our path - and I know many amazing women who walked down that one.)

I started my business SO THAT I could spend more time with my family.

I left a toxic corporate working environment SO THAT it wouldn't affect my babies when I was pregnant.

I wanted to be the boss BECAUSE I wanted my boys to see that they can do anything, achieve anything.

Every decision I've ever made has been weighed by two essential metrics: 1) what will it do to my family? 2) What will it do for my business?

(Because my business is my baby, too - you know that's right!)

I'm so proud of these boys - and I'm so proud of the work that I've put in to build a business while raising them at the same time. ❤️

It hasn't always been easy, but living life on my terms has been the sweetest reward after I took that leap into entrepreneurship years ago. 💪🏾

And now all these boys are starting to leave my nest - what's a mama to do!?

Keep conquering the world, that's what. 🔥

Years ago, I worked my ass off to climb the corporate ladder... and then I jumped ship.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When it happened, they said I changed a lot.

I said a lot changed me.

I was pregnant and working in a toxic environment, and I'll never forget how I felt coming home every day: exhausted, despondent, and terrified that I was hurting my babies by continuing to work in such a terrible place.

I'd worked so hard for everything I had. So how could I walk away from it?

It didn't happen overnight, but I'd been through enough that I realized I had to start prioritizing myself.

I started thinking about what I wanted my life to look like.

How I wanted my days to go.

What I wanted for my family.

It gave me a powerful sense of purpose to realize that I could create my own reality for myself and for all of us - and I could do it by taking my experience and passion with me.

And thus... Polished was born.

Let it change you. Whatever it is - learn from it. Decide if it's for you. And act accordingly.

I truly love the work that I do. 🫶🏾​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I've worked tirelessly for the last 16+ years to create my programs, and they just hit different.

Why? Because I use color science, statistics, real analytics, and accredited research to teach women how to confidently dress their bodies.

I have a great eye, it's true - but that's not enough! Knowing WHY I know what I know is key. 🔑

That's how I create sustainably great style for my clients. 🎯

If you are ready to create a professional brand that reflects your talents, skills, and - most importantly - your authenticity, you've come to the right place.

Am I the only one rocking and rolling to make sure that I finish the year strong? (Yeah, I didn't think so. Can you believe we're only a little over 2 months out from 2025?)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​If you're following me, I already know that you're running right alongside me, my friend.

Whenever I have moments of feeling not enough…​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Of feeling imposter syndrome…​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Of wondering whether what I’m doing is making an impact…​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I stop everything.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I take a second.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Breathe.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Imagine looking at myself from the outside.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And I imagine telling myself who I am.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I remind myself of what I’m capable of.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I remind myself of how far I’ve come.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Inhale reminders. Exhale power.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Remember who you are. It changes the game.​​​​​​​​

What does the word "master" mean to you - in an actionable way?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​To me, mastering something means being able to tend to do it with my eyes closed.

It means that I've taken the steps to become an expert, and I flex that muscle on the regular.

It means that I own it.

It means that I execute it flawlessly, but am still willing to learn.

Mastering something might sound daunting - but if you have an expert (a master, if you will) to guide you, you'll reach those heights much sooner than if you're searching for how to reach them on your own.

Mastering your personal style and image starts with one simple thing: openness. That openness is the willingness to make a change. A desire to take the first step.

Stop waiting to make forward movement, and master what everyone sees first: your personal style and image.

CLIENT LOVE 🥰​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"I called on Polished Image when I was getting ready to start a new job in a new city. Robin gave me the guidance and resources I needed to refresh my wardrobe and overall appearance with intention and confidence. Our initial consultation was thoroughly informative, body positive, and fun. I came away with a practical set of clear guidelines I will use season after season!" - K. Raney

External change and transitions require us to show up in new ways - especially if we're stepping into a new role!

Showing up with confidence is essential when we begin new chapters, and I'm so grateful that this client trusted me with ensuring she walked into her new office making an impression.

The rules you learn inside The Polished Style Lab will carry you through every season - both throughout the year and throughout your life!

You only have 4 days left to apply! 🔗 in bio!

10/13/2024

There are just 5 days left to apply to The Polished Style Lab, and the #1 question people have been asking me is this:​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​“But is The Lab right for me?”

Want to know the honest truth?

Not everyone is a good fit. That's why I have everyone fill out an application and book a call with me first!

If you're on the fence about whether you'd like to sign up, here are the three types of women that are without a doubt the right fit:

✨ You you're a mover and a shaker, and you have a sneaking suspicion that your wardrobe has the power to open doors for you - but that it's been holding you back. And you're not sure how to grab hold of the reins.

✨ You hate mostly everything in your closet, and because you have high attention to detail and really try to put outfits together, you just want to better understand what works for you.

✨ You feel insecure about your appearance, and you want to take charge of your personal style once and for all.

Over the past 16+ years, I've helped hundreds of women around the world.

These women have been teachers, lawyers, doctors, news anchors, life coaches, financial planners, authors, diplomats, web designers, stay at home moms, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, and more.

They come from a variety of backgrounds, but what all of these women have in common is the desire to understand their own personal style and what works for them!

They want a functional wardrobe that'll excite them as the prospect of getting dressed. They want a closet that gives them the freedom to confidently get dressed in the morning without ever having to stress.

So are you waiting for? Let's level up how you show up! Link in bio!

10/12/2024

As an image consultant, my passion is helping women recognize their own individual images. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​No two women are alike on this planet – and that means that no one’s Polished ID is the same!

Truly great, sustainable style is rooted in authenticity. The Polished Style Lab gives you the framework to find your own – with my expert guidance!

Take the guesswork out of getting dressed in the morning and walk into the office (and your life!) with unwavering confidence!

Spots are filling up for our Fall cohort - don't miss out on snagging yours! Link in bio!

When life knocks you down, you've got to get up, get dressed and get back to it!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When you're not feeling your best, there's really nothing that sounds like less fun than making an effort with your appearance.

It feels like a slog opening your closet door. It feels pointless to be making tiny decisions that feel inconsequential.

But you're mistaken - they're not inconsequential at all... but not for the reasons you might think.

Life is going to knock all of us down in one way or another at some point. Hell, multiple points.

It's inevitable.

Try this for me: think back on a time when you looked incredible. Or even on a day where you just... felt PRETTY. More so than usual.

Can you recall what that did for your confidence? (Seriously lifted it, right?)

On the days that life knocks you down - getting up and making even the tiniest bit of effort is going to do wonders for your confidence.

Don't underestimate the power of loving what you see in the mirror.

Want to learn how to do that - every single day?

Doors are open for The Polished Style Lab, and the opportunity is waiting for YOU. So what are YOU waiting for?

Earlier this year, I was CONVINCED…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

That this Spring was my LAST season of hosting the crown jewel of my signature programs: The Polished Style Lab. 👑

To be honest… I felt like people were getting tired of it. I felt like my message just wasn't resonating.

But when I told my team that I was thinking about skipping the fall cohort… they listed all of the reasons why I needed to keep doing it. They reminded me of how far I've come and all that I've accomplished. 🥹

(I try to remind myself of how far I've come whenever I'm feeling down… but doesn't feel good to hear it from someone who really knows the ins and outs of your business?)

Talking with them reminded me that the Lab has always been - and will always be - all about empowering my community, and helping professional women unlock one of the greatest tools to living up to their fullest potential. 🔥

The entire reason for the Lab's existence is so you could feel emboldened to show up authentically.

And I've been able to help hundreds of incredible women do that ever since the very first iteration of the Lab!

That's why I am so excited to announce that The Polished Style Lab - the most transformational 6-week experience for professional women - is BACK, and better than ever!

And lucky for you - tickets have opened up TODAY, and participants who sign up before midnight tonight will get a $500 discount! 🔥💸

So if you're ready to experience life-changing breakthroughs, and do it surrounded by driven women who love to see you win…

Click the link in my bio, because this discount expires at midnight!

I can't wait to see you there. 👏🏾

Can I let you in on a secret? I'm a couple of years into my 50s, and my tried-and-true beauty products and routines are no longer working like a charm! 😖​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As we evolve and transition into different stages in our lives, especially after 40, we have to make some shifts.

Are your beauty and self-care routines not working for you anymore? Here's how you can level up you game to ensure you look fabulous over 40:

SECRET 1: USE LIQUID FOUNDATION INSTEAD OF POWDER
Once upon a time, powder foundations worked wonders for me, but now they only highlight dryness and fine lines. Switching to a hydrating liquid foundation has been a game-changer, giving me a youthful glow without settling into those pesky lines!

SECRET 2: CONCEALER IS YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND
Even on days when I opt for minimal makeup, a little concealer under the eyes can work wonders to brighten my face. This simple step can help mask dark circles and give a refreshed appearance, especially during my busier days!

SECRET 3: INVEST IN GOOD MAKEUP BRUSHES!
As we age, our skin texture changes – which means that the way we put on makeup should change, too. Look for brushes designed specifically for the product you’d like to apply with it. Most are labeled accordingly!

SECRET 4: EXFOLIATE AND USE A MASK WEEKLY
With aging, skin can become more textured and dry. Incorporating regular exfoliation and a nourishing mask can do wonders for your skin!

SECRET 5: FIND YOUR SEASONAL SIGNATURE LIP COLOR!
After 40, it’s great to experiment with shades that complement our changing complexion. Identify the best shades for you each season and stick to them!

Let's level up how you show up in every way!

I have something up my sleeve... 👀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​You've already seen me talking about The Polished Style Lab on here.

And I've decided that this year, I'm going to make an offer you can't refuse. 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

In 2 days - on Tuesday, October 8th - I'll be making an announcement here about what it is, but you have to act quickly... because it'll only last until the end of the day!

Turn on post notifications so you don't miss it. 👆🏾

Let's level up how you show up!

"Don't be afraid to give up the good for the great." - J. D. Rockefeller​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​What's good in your life right now that has the capacity to be great?

What are you settling for, and what do you REALLY want?

It's easy to get complacent, to look around and say, "this is good enough."

It's easy to not want to put the effort in when you're doing just fine without it.

But if you have dreams, ambitions, and goals (and we all do to some degree!) - you know they take effort.

So what's stopping you from taking that first step?

Even one step is forward movement. You heard me. No matter how many steps you take towards what you want, you're still moving towards it.

The Polished Style Lab is specifically designed to not overwhelm you. We do one module per week, and I never give you more than I believe you can handle.

It's a perfect set of steps - and once you've completed those six weeks... you're going to look back and be so proud of how far you've come.

I'm announcing a special offer soon... and you don't want to miss this one!

I'm going to brag on myself for a second here. 💁🏾‍♀️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
I am nobody's idea of a run-of-the-mill stylist.

I've studied the science.

I've done the research.

I've fielded all the trials and errors, the ups and downs.

And I have worked tirelessly to develop my methods.

Which is why I trademarked it.

The Polished ID™️ Method is one of a kind - and it WORKS.

I've worked with hundreds of professional women all over the world to define, refine, edit, update, create, and maintain their personal brands and wardrobes for almost 20 years.

There is a formula to developing consistently great style - style that you don't need to call a stylist for, that you can curate ON YOUR OWN every day - and that's what'll make it stick.

You'll learn the Polished ID™️ Method - and more! - in The Polished Style Lab: my signature program for professional women who aren't going to waste another second not having a wardrobe that matches who they really are and what they really want.

You've heard me talk about The Polished Style Lab... but do you know what you're paying for when you sign up? 👀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you're really going to invest time, energy, and money into a program... I firmly believe that you should know what you're getting.

That's why I'm always up front about what's involved in my programs - and I price them fairly based on a combination of my years of fashion expertise (30+), my target audience (professional women), and market value (you better believe I do my damn research!).

Each week of the Lab is broken up into a different module - and each module focuses on a specific factor of your style and your closet that needs attention - so you can leave the program and not need me anymore. 🙅🏾‍♀️
You heard me.

I want to give you the tools so you can do this ON YOUR OWN. You deserve that - and you have the ability to do it! 💪🏾

She sent me a picture of her looking polished and confident - and she even told me that she passed along my contact info to women she thought could benefit from my expertise! 🥰

Here at Polished - I teach you to not need me. I teach you to feel confident in the choices you make for your wardrobe.

All you need are the tools to bring your looks alive. Leveling up your personal brand takes actionable steps - I give you the shoes, but you walk the walk!

It's been a hot minute since I've introduced myself on this app... so I wanted to introduce myself to all the new faces around here! 👋🏾​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​My name's Robin, and I'm the founder and CEO of Polished Image. I'm a DMV-based image consultant and personal stylist - and more!

Here's what I've been up to recently:

✨ I launched a program for the next generation of six-figure stylists to train them in my science-backed Polished Method™️

✨ I led another successful round of my bi-annual Level Up Workshop

✨ I've lent my voice and expertise to multiple podcasts, panels, and speaking engagements - where I've met so many new clients!

I launched Polished over 16 years ago after years climbing the corporate ladder in the fashion space - because I wanted to have control over my own schedule.

I'm a mama to 3 beautiful boys, and I'm about to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary with the love of my life!

Tell me something about YOU. Would love to get to know you better! 👇🏾

❤️ CLIENT LOVE ❤️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"Working with Robin is a joy. She's knowledgeable, supportive and brilliant at making women feel comfortable sharing their frustrations and vulnerabilities with her. The online capsule wardrobe is brilliant. For someone who has never liked malls, this is a genuine miracle!" - S Ma.

It's the greatest honor to hear from a client that they feel comfortable being vulnerable with me.

Because - and let's be honest! - asking someone for help is hard.

And asking someone for help with your closet can feel extra vulnerable - because it means you have to show someone what you've been wearing and how you've been shopping.

You probably don't feel great about those choices, which is why you hire me. But it's not an easy thing to let someone step into that space with you!

It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. And I want to take a second to honor that!

The life you want is on the other side of you taking one small step outside of your comfort zone.

The Level Up Workshop is everything you need and more to take that first step. That's all it takes!

Join us on September 28th for a life-changing afternoon - link in bio and stories to sign up!

I can't even begin to count how many times I've been told I couldn't do something.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I used to let that hinder me.

And now I use it as motivation.

When they said I couldn't, I got fired the hell up. 🔥

I got laser focused on what I really wanted.

And implemented a strategy to work towards living my dream life - which I am now doing. 💅🏾

Who's laughing now?

If you ever think that telling a woman she shouldn't or couldn't do something means that she won't keep working for it....

You are dead wrong. 💀

The Polished community is full of women that have been told no countless times, and decided that they'd had enough of letting that stand in their way.

The Level Up Workshop on September 28th is for YOU if you're wanting to turn that deflation into motivation! Let's level up how you show up - sign up at the link in bio!
