070: Aligning Your Wardrobe with Your Brand with Jennifer Mackey-Mary

How can your wardrobe align with and reflect your brand and make you feel confident, so that you attract your ideal clients, whether you’re speaking, on video, or at a networking event?

My guest is wardrobe stylist Jennifer Mackey-Mary, founder of Apple + Pear Wardrobe.

We talk about what you should wear on stage and how you can use your business branding to decide what to wear, including whether or not to wear your brand colors.

Jennifer uses two words that are crucial for dressing to attract your ideal clients (and I love that they both start with “A” :-).

What do you like to wear when you speak? I’d love to see a photo - share in the Speaking Your Brand Facebook group. Not a member? It’s free - go to https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/join/ or text the word SPEAKING to 444-999 to get access.

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
