Pull It!

I am referring to mini-skirts on women over 35. Pull the skirt down! Oh my goodness! A woman over 35, should NOT be in a mini-skirt. Especially a mini-dress, with a white background and yellow/black floral accents. It concerns me that she believes that it is correct. Think about the knees. Unless you are headed for a tennis match or going to cheerleading practice, please pull it! There are other areas that can be exposed and achieve a more positive impact. Ok. I will give justification to the over 35, no mini-skirt(s) rule. During the Fall/Winter months...with tights that conceal the knees and some hot boots!

Image is everything.....

Please forgive us for the delay. We are so glad to be back and we have missed you, greatly. Thank you for your patience. You have heard the saying, "Image is everything." It takes 30 seconds to make a great first impression. In 30 seconds, a perception of you has already been determined by the other individual. I was working with a client and we went shopping.

Sidebar: I am so thankful for my gift of personal shopping. I have been truly blessed to enhance the images of people.

In any case, men and women were just..... shopping. They did not appear to have a purpose in mind. Some were looking for shirts/blouses/tanks for the season. Others were looking at khaki capri's. Why? What is the purpose of khaki capri's? I have got to find out where and who designed capri's. Why? Some were looking for linen pieces.

I was on a mission with my client. I was determined to establish a fabulous wardrobe, at a reasonable cost that would make her feel amazing. I had a purpose. She was too satisfied and her self-esteem soared. Granted, she wanted to stay in the box of comfortable shoes. No. Step out of the box. You are a woman. Your shoes must introduce your outfit. Introducing..... You have got to treat your life, as if you are on stage. Life is short and this is not a dress rehearsal. Your shoes have got to be hot!!! Leave the comfortable pair for the market or the commute, if you must.

Your image is your story. Honestly, you could walk into a room and never say a word. A person will scan you in 30 seconds and convince themselves of your true identity....based solely, on your image. Perception is reality. I know that we can help you convey your own message, with exquisite style. The personal shopping experience will change your life. Oh! As we mention style, it is imperative to understand one of my favorite quotes: "Style is not a size, it is an attitude." Be stylish.

Closet Analysis 101

Beautiful! I really have not set my expectations for this project. The ultimate goal is "completion, satisfaction and exceeding the client's expectations." So, join me on this amazing journey.

Okay. Okay. Alright. Let's go. My energy level is rising and my adrenaline is pumping. I am ready to create a masterpiece. The client has a fabulous collection and I am sure that some pieces have seen better days. Every closet has a vintage "don't." Let it go.

Every piece has been removed and we are ready to begin the real process. I love it when my clients are in touch with their favorite designers. I, the diva (the nickname given by my NY crew), ooooohed and aaaaaahed at the sight of......authentic Chanel and the Limited Edition Louis Vuitton. The Gucci, Carmen Marc Valvo, Carolina Herrera, Kay Unger, Manolo Blahnik, Escada, Teri Jon, Gucci, etc. I could go on and on. Did I mention that some of those pieces were hand selected by me? I was in heaven. Fun! Fabulous! Exquisite!

I believe that this is my favorite part of the process. It is a known fact that cluttered environments inhibit creativity. At this point, I have a fresh start and a new opportunity to establish the "awe factor." As an added bonus, I measured the pertinent areas and created a design for an upgrade to the layout. Oh, but wait..... "No more plastic hangers!" I could not help myself. No wire, in this closet. Woo Hoo!

What does your closet say about you? What is your true personality and how do your clothes reflect your reality? When was the last time you embraced..... change? Well, have no fear, these pics have given you a glimpse into our world. We take the time to remove every item, from your closet(s), with precision and purpose. The "before's" enable you to sample from our closet renovation menu. We have chosen not to display the "after's" via this blog. However, when you book a session with us...... we will show you, everything! This is a valuable experience, wherein we make suggestions and LISTEN to you. We also go shopping with you and help you to enhance your total image. The end result is simply FABULOUS!

One of my favorite quotes is, "Style is not a size, it is an attitude." You see, your style type starts where the rules end. What, addition or deletion, will cause you to broaden your wardrobe horizons? When will you break out of your fashion rut and mundane routine? How about adding a little color to the mix? No matter what your fashion personality states about you, it can be enhanced 4u 2b n2image. Upgrade your style attitude.
