A month ago today, I had the opportunity to share my gifts at the National Urban League Conference while representing the Toyota brand. Between one-on-one styling sessions and a 30-minute presentation, I got to teach attendees how to embrace their Right Now Bodies™ and think differently about the way they show up. Because style isn’t simply about putting together a great outfit. Your style can be a strategy for how you communicate, how you build confidence, and how you enter the rooms you’re called to be in. I left that experience feeling incredibly full and reminded that sometimes the opportunities that feel the most aligned are the ones that allow you to use ALL of your gifts at once. Here’s to more of those opportunities. ✨

AI can be a GREAT tool for your style journey and yes, I use it too! But there’s a difference between getting outfit suggestions and having someone understand your Right Now Body™, lifestyle, proportions, personal style and the image you want to communicate. One of the biggest things I want you to remember from this week’s Tam’s Tips Tuesday: AI can generate ideas. A stylist helps you create strategy. And sometimes you need the expert because you don’t even know what questions you should be asking yet. So I’m curious: Have you ever used AI to help you figure out what to wear? And if so, what did you ask it? 👇🏾 #TamsTipsTuesday #StyleAsStrategy #TheTamApproach #TheTamEffect

✨ Work in Action Friday ✨ Presence Builders, here’s your reminder that coordinating does not mean matching. My client Deuce and his wife attended an all-chocolate wedding this spring, and I love how their looks came together. We usually love custom for Deuce, but this time I found this beautiful double-breasted chocolate suit off the rack. Paired with the black bow tie and loafers, it gave him a polished formal look without feeling predictable. And look at the two of them together. 🤎 They’re both wearing brown, but they aren’t wearing the same brown. Her softer chocolate tone against his deeper shade creates dimension, and the different textures keep everything visually interesting while still looking intentional as a couple. When you’re coordinating looks with someone, think complementary, not identical. Stay within the same color story, then use different shades, textures and accessories to give each person their own moment. Because the goal isn’t to look like twins, it’s to look like you belong in the same picture. 😉 And Deuce and his wife definitely understood the assignment.

Tam’s Tips Tuesdays. 📝 Let’s talk about INVESTMENT and I don’t just mean expensive clothes. My 5 things worth investing in, stylist edition: ✨ A great tailor ✨ The right undergarments ✨ A full-length mirror ✨ Good garment-care tools ✨ Expertise Here’s the bigger lesson: your wardrobe doesn’t automatically get better because you spend more money on clothes. Knowing your body, understanding fit, taking care of what you own, and being intentional about what comes INTO your closet can make a much bigger difference. That’s the heart of Style as Strategy. So let’s talk: What’s something you’ve invested in that completely changed the way you get dressed? Let’s glow up, inside and out.✨ #TamsTipsTuesdays #StyleAsStrategy #TheTamEffect
