I gave a room of 180 successful real estate agents a mirror with two words on it:

BE ICONIC.

But something happened that I haven’t stopped thinking about.

Instead of recognizing the accomplished women looking back at them, many immediately began pointing out the things they wanted to change.

And I wondered…

How often do we look in the mirror and see everything that’s wrong before we recognize everything that’s right?

As an image advisor and coach, I hear women say things like:

“I’m too old for that.”

“My arms are terrible.”

“Nothing looks good on my body anymore.”

They say these things as though they’re established facts.

But are they?

We’ve been getting dressed for decades.

And somewhere along the way, many of us have collected beliefs about what we can wear, how we should look, and who we’re allowed to be.

We rarely stop to question them.

Yet those beliefs influence far more than our wardrobes.

Here’s the question I want you to consider:

What if the thing holding you back isn’t what you see in the mirror, but what you’ve decided it means about you?

I wrote about this experience in my latest letter:

Do You See an ICON in the Mirror?

It’s a conversation I believe more women need to be having, especially in midlife.

Iconic Style Live: Short Pump ❤️

There is something very different about having this conversation in a room full of real estate professionals.

We talked about style, yes but more importantly, we talked about Image, Style & Presence and what happens when all three begin telling the same story.

Because when you are the face of your business, how you show up becomes part of the experience people have with your brand.

A huge thank you to Jan Copeland for inviting me to Short Pump and creating the space for this conversation. I loved getting to spend time with you and your amazing community.

And this is only the beginning.

I’m bringing Iconic Style Live to more real estate brokerages, teams and organizations, including here at home in Arizona.

If you’re a broker, team leader or part of a real estate organization and you’d love to bring this conversation into your room, send me a DM.

I’d love to hear about your group.

Be Iconic,
Afton

As we age, our coloring can shift. Our hair changes, our skin changes, and our natural contrast can change.

That doesn’t mean you suddenly have a long list of colors you “can’t” wear.

In fact, I think one of the biggest benefits of having your colors done is knowing which colors to stop wearing, the ones that overpower you, wash you out, or get noticed before you do.

I loved seeing this happen in real time while doing color analyses at the Empowering Women in Real Estate Conference this week.

The right color doesn’t steal the attention. It puts the attention back on you.

Is there a color you used to love on yourself that just doesn’t seem to work anymore?

What does an Image Advisor wear to speak about Style, Image & Presence for women in real estate?

This week I had the privilege of speaking at Empowering Women in Real Estate, an incredible event created by Karen W Cooper | Empowering Women in Real Estate® .

And yes, I put just as much intention into what I wore as I did into what I wanted to say.

For Day One, I wanted my image to communicate before I ever picked up the mic.

Bold. Striking. Trailblazer. Iconic.

I chose a high-contrast black and white dress with a strong silhouette and just enough drama for the stage. I finished it with layered pearls, statement earrings, black booties and my signature red lip.

Because your image is about so much more than putting together a great outfit.

I think about the room.
I think about the role I’m stepping into.
I think about how I want to feel.
And I think about what I want my image to communicate before I ever say a word.

That’s what it means to design your image with intention.

Swipe to see the style guide and how I built the look.

Karen, thank you for inviting me into this room and for creating such a beautiful experience for women in real estate. 🤍

I know we grew up hearing, “You can’t wear white after Labor Day.”

But you absolutely can.

White isn’t just a summer color. The difference is in how you style it.

Those white pants you wore with sandals all summer? Keep wearing them. Add a blazer and a loafer. Pair white with leather, cashmere, deeper colors and fall textures.

You don’t have to pack away half your wardrobe because Labor Day passed.

Wear the white pants. 🤍

I raised her to believe she could live anywhere in the world. I just wasn’t prepared for her to actually do it.

I’ve always told my kids we have the whole world to choose from. We don’t have to stay somewhere just because you were born here. I’m still planning to eventually leave Arizona and live in Paris. 🇫🇷

Apparently my youngest was listening.

At 18, she packed up and moved to Hawaii. 🌺

I’m so proud of her. I love that she’s brave enough to experience something completely new and create a life of her own.

But getting on that plane and leaving her 3,000 miles away?

I wasn’t prepared for that part.

I know a lot of mamas sent their kids off into the world this fall. College. First apartments. New cities. New adventures.

How are my fellow mamas doing? 🤍

You’re not going to find your style.

Not on a mannequin.

Not on Pinterest.

Not on your favorite influencer.

Because it’s already inside of you.

My job is to help you bring it out.

Not to make you look like everyone else.

Not to hand you a cookie-cutter wardrobe.

But to intentionally design a personal style that looks and feels unmistakably YOU.

And when you start using that style as a business asset to stand out?

That’s iconic. ✨

There comes a point in your career when getting dressed isn’t really about clothes anymore.

It’s about alignment.

Does the woman walking into the room look like the woman who built the reputation?

Does your presence communicate the level of expertise you’ve earned?

Would someone recognize your point of view before they even heard your name?

This is where personal style becomes something much bigger.

Your colors become recognizable.
Your wardrobe becomes intentional.
Your presence becomes consistent.
And getting dressed stops requiring so much thought.

You’re not trying to look fashionable.

You’re creating visual authority.

Because when you’re building a name, your image is already part of the conversation.

The question is whether you’re directing it.
