Today we’re talking about one of the most underestimated wardrobe essentials — THE VEST.

Chic. Versatile. Unexpected. And truly one of the easiest ways to elevate your look to instant Queen status.

I love styling a vest over anything, even over a blazer, a crisp button-down, a cozy turtleneck. And Queens… vests over athleisure? Instant luxury. It’s unexpected, effortless, and SO chic. I also love styling vests under your coats, trust me and experiment. It will quickly become your favorite winter essential.

I invested in my first white fur vest over seven years ago, and it’s still my go-to!!! Proof that when you invest in the right pieces, they love you back for years.

And when it comes to travel… a vest is everything.I don’t pack mine, I travel in it.

It keeps the look luxe while freeing up suitcase space, and it layers effortlessly.

I’m sharing some of my favorite picks below, including amazing options from Zara at super approachable prices. My personal favorite is from Generation Love it comes in so many stunning colors. I tried it on in their NYC store and it is FAB… I didn’t buy because I already have two in my closet still in perfect shape that I adore.

The long vest from Zara is also such a vibe, effortless, elevated, and a total outfit-maker.

And Queens… let’s talk about the REAL finishing touch.

You already know what takes any look (even the simplest vest-and-tee moment) to best dressed…

Jewelry, of course.

Recently, while teaching inside Jessica Zweig’s Feminine Business Frequency School, one of the students asked a question I know many of you feel deeply:

“How do I look effortlessly chic when it’s freezing almost every day?”

As a Chicago Queen, I felt so connected to this question. Winter is real. But style doesn’t have to disappear under the cold.

Here’s the secret I teach all my Style Queens:

Chic Winter Style Begins With Your OUTERWEAR

When temperatures drop, your coat becomes your entire outfit, the first thing people see, the piece that sets the tone, and the layer that carries your energy.

This is why your coat is your top winter investment.

My Coat Evolution

(and why I invest every single year)

My very first special coat was a green wool from Zara.

That was the moment I realized how powerful a statement coat can be.

Then three years ago, I invested in the Michael Kors pink fur coat you’ve seen me wear. And Queens…It is still in perfect condition, I still wear it every winter. And every time I put it on, I attract endless compliments and conversations.

A high-quality statement coat truly lasts for years.

And every winter, I add one intentional new coat to my wardrobe.

This year I’m adding this master piece yellow coat by Zcrave featured in the style board below, a warm, joyful, bold moment I can’t wait to play with for myself and for a client.

Step Outside the Basic-Black Comfort Zone

So many women default to black because it feels “safe.” But winter is actually the perfect season to take risk.

Try experimenting with:

1. Color — Yellows, Pinks, Emerald, Chocolate
2. Textures — Faux Fur, Wool, Boucle, Cashmere
3. Shape — Strong Shoulders, Cocoon Silhouettes, Belted Coats

These are the pieces that turn a simple outfit into a show-stopping Queen moment.

Winter Whites: The Ultimate Chic Moment

One of my favorite winter styling secrets?

Winter White Everything.

A white coat paired with a white hat, white gloves, and white boots…

It is pure luxury.

Pure feminine power.

Pure Queen energy.

Don’t be afraid to go monochrome, whether all white, all camel, all grey, or any bold color family.

Monochrome elongates your silhouette, elevates your style, and created the clean, effortless lines every woman wants.

Play With Color Blocking

Yellow coat + green gloves

White coat + chocolate scarf

Pink coat + snake skin boots

Color-blocking instantly creates visual interest and looks intentional, confident and editorial.

I’ve curated a collection of coats that I personally love and recommend, including:

Bold Colors, Winter Whites, Elevated Textures, Classic Investment Silhouettes.

SHOP WITH WINTER COAT EDIT

These pieces are the foundation of an effortlessly chic winter wardrobe.

Your Homework This Week

1. Take inventory of your current coat. Does it reflect the woman you are becoming?
2. Choose one coat that feels like a true investment in your next-level self.
3. Reply and tell me which coat is calling your name. I love seeing what resonates with each Queen.

Welcome to Week 3 of our “Build Your Dream Wardrobe” series where each week we add another timeless essential to your capsule so you can create stylish, chic looks again and again instead of having a bunch of individual statement pieces in your closet.

You’ve seen our favorite picks for the perfect long-sleeve tee (Week 1) and found your new dream denim (Week 2).

Now it’s time for the piece that transforms any outfit and might be the one things I take with me if I were stranded on a deserted style island:

The Perfect Blazer.

The Secret to the perfect blazer?

A blazer is the bridge piece…

It’s a bridge between your morning leggings-and-tee school drop-off look and your polished midday Zoom CEO energy look. A bridge between where you are in the morning at a coffee shop and where you’re going at night for drinks with the girls or a date night with your husband.

It’s also the bridge between where you are in this moment in your career or business and where you want to be (hello 7-figure 2026).

It’s the piece that instantly transforms your energy and takes any outfit from casual daytime meeting to confidently chic for an upscale cocktail hour.

You can throw it over denim and a tee or pair it with a matching suit set, either way, it turns your outfit into an unforgettable style moment.

SHOP THE BLAZER BOARD

MY PERSONAL RULE:

Start smart, then splurge.

Meaning, invest in blazers that are neutral first like black, ivory or camel. These become your staple essentials.

Then splurge by adding a few blazers that reflect your personality: maybe a bold color, a print, or even a cropped silhouette.

Invest in one high-quality blazer that fits like it was made for you and feels like butter on your skin instead of five, less expensive + trendy pieces.

This is how you build your dream wardrobe – the one where you walk into your closet and you smile and it’s easy to create an outfit you live in minutes instead of taking an hour, changing 10 times and still not loving what you wear.

Here’s my ultimate fall uniform right now:

Your favorite denim + a classic tee + a blazer + a trench = the classic fall uniform

Yes, you heard me right. This season, I’m layering my long leather coat from previous seasons with my new cropped Boss jacket for a chic, dimensional, high-fashion look. It’s bold, unexpected, and completely wearable.

When styled intentionally, your leather jackets become the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe — the ones that make you feel powerful, polished, and effortlessly chic.

Transform Your Style: Embrace Your Inner Queen

The Journey of Style and Empowerment

Tracy came to me for styling for her Tulum retreat, but what she received was so much more — a full-body activation. She’s a powerhouse, expanding her retreats, stepping onto big stages, and climbing to her next level — and her wardrobe had to reflect all of it.

We didn’t just create looks for Tulum; we designed outfits for retreats, holiday parties, and her everyday power. But the real magic? The energetic shift. Her posture straightened, her style brightened, and her confidence expanded. That’s the power of alignment — dressing for your future and fully embodying your inner queen.

Evolving Style for an Evolving Brand

Tracy worked with me in the past. However, every year she evolves, and so does her brand. Her wardrobe has to reflect not just who she is today but also who she’s becoming. As her vision expands, her style evolves, supporting her energy and her personal brand. Tracy has had a full personal brand experience with us, aligning every element — from clothing to presence — with her next level.

Her story is one of resilience, creativity, and transformation. She grew up in a trailer park in Alaska and has always been a living example of how hard work, vision, and self-belief can lead to extraordinary results. From founding Pretty Convenient Salon and creating the Pretty Convenient App to navigating business pivots during the pandemic with Pretty Set Go, Tracy has continually reinvented herself while helping other women rise alongside her.

Empowering Others Through Style

She’s not just a beauty entrepreneur; she’s now teaching women to cultivate an abundance mindset. Using her proven methods in corporate leadership coaching, speaking engagements, online courses, and 1:1 startup coaching, she inspires women to see possibilities where they once saw limits, igniting personal and professional growth.

When Tracy and I first met, it was a meeting of minds and souls. We were on the same wavelength, sharing a philosophy about empowerment and alignment. That connection changed both of our lives, and I’m proud to call her a friend.

The Calling Forth the Queen Experience

Her style transformation through the Calling Forth the Queen (CFTQ) experience is part of this evolution. This experience is a complete transformation that:

• Activates confidence
• Aligns your wardrobe with your next level
• Helps you fully step into the woman you’ve always known you were meant to be

VIEW STYLING PACKAGES

We brought this magic to life at her fully produced brand photoshoot, creating digital content for her retreats, PR, and social media — reflecting exactly who she’s becoming.

The Power of Style Transformation

Seeing Tracy step into her power, watching her confidence soar, and embodying her inner queen is exactly why I do what I do. I wish for every woman to experience this shift — because style is so much more than clothes. It’s about energy, alignment, and stepping into your next level with intention.

Conclusion: Your Style Journey Awaits

Your journey to empowerment through style starts now. Embrace the transformation. Step into your power. You have the ability to create a wardrobe that reflects your ambitions and aspirations. Let’s embark on this journey together, and I can’t wait to see you shine!

Every woman has a moment when she looks at her closet and thinks, “I have nothing to wear.” But what she really means is, “I don’t see her—the woman I’m becoming—reflected back at me.”

If this feels familiar, then you’re standing right at the edge of your next level. And this is exactly where Calling Forth the Queen begins.

It’s Not About Clothes — It’s About Who You Become

When women come to me, they’re not just looking for new outfits. They’re craving alignment.

They want to feel magnetic again. They want their outside to match the power, softness, and confidence that already lives inside.

That’s what my signature experience, Calling Forth the Queen (CFTQ), was designed for. It’s not just a styling service. It’s an energetic activation — a full transformation that awakens your Queen energy and brings your highest self forward through style, photography, and intentional embodiment. Because when you dress for the life you want, you start attracting it.

What Happens Inside Calling Forth the Queen

Over two luxurious, life-changing days, we create your transformation together. You’ll experience:

1. Closet clarity — letting go of what no longer aligns with who you’re becoming
2. Curated wardrobe of 20+ looks — designed to fit your lifestyle, your essence, and your vision
3. Personal brand photoshoot — to capture your new frequency and make your digital presence as magnetic as your energy
4. Energetic activation — where you step into your next-level confidence, beauty, and power. You leave with more than clothes. You leave with your identity upgraded.

Real Women. Real Transformations.

I’ve styled hundreds of women around the world — authors, CEOs, speakers, mothers, healers, and leaders — and every single one had one thing in common: they were ready for more.

Becca Piastrelli, best-selling author and thought leader, told me that our time together was the turning point in her life.

“Tali didn’t just style me. She saw me. It was a soul-deep activation. I stopped playing small and fully stepped into my power.”

Kristina Hollinger, Feng Shui expert and TV personality, described her CFTQ experience as “transformative and magical.”

“I left the shoot feeling like a new version of myself. Every detail felt intentional, luxurious, and aligned with the next level.”

Evelyn Silva, spiritual mentor, said,

“It was like spending the day with my fairy godmother. I walked away feeling radiant, confident, and completely seen.”

These women didn’t just change their wardrobes. They changed their frequency.

Because Style Is Energy

When your wardrobe is aligned, getting dressed becomes effortless. Every outfit feels like an activation. You stop hiding. You start shining. You magnetize opportunities, clients, and relationships that match your new vibration. That’s what happens when you call forth your Queen. And the best part? You never go back.

I believe in splurging on the pieces you’ll wear daily — not the special-occasion dress that collects dust after one night. As I’ve been packing for Paris Fashion Week and styling my Queens this fall, I see the same truth over and over: the best investments are in elevated essentials you can live in.

BOOTS WITH POWER — My clients are loving Veronica Beard tall boots for their perfect mix of style and comfort. For booties I invested in this gorgeous brown pair by Anina Bing. I also treated myself to Khaite boots, a splurge, yes, but my pair from last year carried me through countless looks and still feels fresh.

ELEVATED CASHMERE — Anine Bing’s cashmere crew sweater is the epitome of effortless chic. Luxe, versatile, and timeless, it’s the sweater you’ll keep reaching for.

THE FALL STAPLE TRENCH — The trench is the ultimate fall essential, but this season it got an upgrade. This Boss cropped trench in soft leather is everything. My clients are loving it — and I treated myself to one for Paris Fashion Week. It’s so chic, versatile, and modern. Imagine it layered over a dress or skirt with boots… so chic and effortless.

THE SHOW STOPPING SUIT — I recently styled a client in this incredible suit and couldn’t resist purchasing one for myself. I can’t wait to show you how I’ll be styling it at Paris Fashion Week — it’s bold, chic, and a piece that commands attention in every room.

MALKARI Jewelry — The Everyday EssentialNo wardrobe is complete without jewelry that carries your energy. The Oren Earrings and Eliana Necklace, are almost gone! Every outfit of mine — whether in Paris or Chicago — includes at least one of them (and often all at once). These power pieces are what transform elevated essentials into unforgettable looks.

Never in a million years could I have imagined this moment… but deep down, I always dreamed of it. And today, that dream is real.

This is me, Tali Kogan — stylist, founder of MALKARI, creator of Calling Forth the Queen. And now, I get to add something to that list that feels surreal: attending Paris Fashion Week.

The life I’ve built, the career I’ve poured my soul into, and the women I’ve had the honor to style have brought me right here. And yes — let this be proof that anything is possible when you dress for it.

A Queen Never Packs Light

Let’s be honest: a Queen could never pack light for Paris. Overpacked? Definitely. Regrets? Zero.

Because when you step into the City of Light — a city that breathes fashion and art — every look has to carry energy. Every outfit is an opportunity to embody confidence, to magnetize opportunities, and to express your truest self.

This is what I teach my clients daily: your wardrobe isn’t just clothing, it’s your frequency. The right outfit can open doors, attract connections, and set the tone for your next chapter.

Deep Gratitude for the Journey

None of this happened in isolation. My heart is bursting with gratitude for:

• My husband and kids, the foundation of my world.
• My family and friends, who cheer me on endlessly.
• My clients and Style Queens, who allow me to do the work I was born to do.
• My team, my coaches, and my partners who believe in the vision and help me bring it to life.

And YOU — this incredible community that inspires me every single day.

You’ve all been such a crucial part of this journey, and being here at Paris Fashion Week is as much your win as it is mine.

A Special Thank You to Kobi Halperin

This milestone wouldn’t be complete without honoring my dear friend, Israeli designer Kobi Halperin, who opened the doors to this moment and invited me to witness his magic at Paris Fashion Week.

Kobi, your artistry, authenticity, and heart shine in everything you create, and it’s an honor to celebrate you on this stage.

Every Street is Your Runway

Paris Fashion Week is more than fashion. It’s a reminder that your dreams — the ones that feel far away, maybe even impossible — are closer than you think.

This moment is proof that when you invest in yourself, when you dress like the woman you’re becoming, and when you refuse to dim your light — you become magnetic.

So, Queens, here’s to dreams becoming reality. Here’s to gratitude as the ultimate accessory. And here’s to every street becoming your runway.
