I want to tell you about my own experience with a Personal Stylist on a shopping trip. Now, I am reasonably fussy, know what I like and what I don’t like (I also know my own body shape, colours and personal style) so I was a little, what shall I say, sure that this trip wouldn’t work out to my advantage….but Oh My was I wrong!
Every Image Consultant / Personal Stylist that is worth their salt uses their own stylist. Everyone can go wayward once in a while (we are only human after all) and it is our job to be a walking advertisement for our business, so we have to maintain our own wardrobes and keep our garments accessories and hairstyles up to date and fresh.
So, I had enlisted my own stylist for the day to assist me in updating my wardrobe as I had lost a few kilos and was in desperate need of some new clothes.
Wow, I learned so much about myself that it was a real surprise. It’s amazing how you forget things about who you are and what really suits you. I get drenched in black, although I love wearing it, but my stylist showed me ways to wear it so that it doesn’t wear me – along with accessories that really make me look a million dollars. All things I know, yes, but we have a tendency to be able to teach and show others, but not do the same for ourselves.
All I can say is this. If you can invest a little time and money into working with a personal stylist, even if it is just to show you some really cool tricks, you will always look fabulous and you will feel it too.
