An Overview of What’s Included in Our Style Programs:

  • In Style Exclusive
  • In Style Success
  • In Style ‘You Can Do It’

Your Fashion Personality

Your fashion personality is closely aligned with your personality – how you project yourself into the world. So many women choose styles based on the current trend and then feel uncomfortable in what they’re wearing and wonder why. The reason for their discomfort is overlooking styles that are meant for them. I will help you identify your core values and show you how they are reflected in your fashion personality. When you dress to suit who you are you will feel so joyful and you will easily choose styles that feel comfortable and feel like they are meant for you.

Confident Colour

Wearing the right colour is without a doubt one of the most important aspects of a dynamic look. The right colour has the ability to bring your look alive, it makes skin look more radiant and wrinkles less noticeable. When you know your best colours you don’t waste time or money buying items that stay in your closet. Knowing your best colours not only attracts compliments it also makes shopping and dressing easier. Confident Colour – Learn More

Miraculous Makeup

Makeup is a must if you want to look your best. It’s the icing on the cake – without it your overall look will be incomplete. Many women don’t wear makeup because they are unsure of how to apply it and don’t want to appear foolish. Makeup, worn correctly enhances your innate beauty and creates a fresher, radiant look (no matter what your age). The trick is to choose the right products and colours and learn how to apply them correctly. Once you feel confident wearing makeup you will never go without it. Why Wear Makeup?

Your Body Shape

We all come in different shapes and sizes. Is it any wonder that getting the right fit is a challenge when fashion designers make clothes with one body type in mind? When you know your unique body shape and proportions you will know how to dress to bring out all your positive qualities. Learn more about Your Body Shape

The Fashion Fit Formula

The more you can reduce the variables with choosing a wardrobe, the better. Do you start at yourself in a skirt, jacket or capris and wonder if the length suits you or does it make you look frumpy? Do you find yourself perplexed – knowing something is off but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is. When you know exactly what length your clothes should be to perfectly balance your body, you can focus instead on other elements of dressing when choosing an outfit. The Fashion Fit Formula is like magic. Quick to do, affordable, and the results are good for life! Learn more about The Fashion Fit Formula

Accessorizing Pizzazz

Many women love accessories and have a closet full of them. Why is it that they don’t use half their accessories or don’t wear them to their advantage?  They are unsure how to create the best look. Accessories are a dynamic way to add the finishing touches to your look. Used correctly they bring out your uniqueness, add interest and are the secret ingredient to a fabulous look – they make the difference between okay and Wow! Accessories CAN boost your look.

Photo Shoot

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a makeover?  Imagine yourself in front of a photographer with your hair in the most flattering style  and colour, your skin looking radiant and your outfit fitting perfectly and looking fabulous.  We will create a fun-filled transformational day that will have you feeling like a queen( or princess).

Wardrobe Transformation

It is a well known fact that most women only wear 20% of the clothes sitting in their closet. That means 80% of your wardrobe (if you’re one of those women) is draining your energy every time you open your closet doors.  A 20/80 closet creates confusion in dressing (you can’t see through the ‘maze’ to choose great outfits), it’s a reminder of what you don’t want (all the pieces you are keeping because you want to fit into them again), it’s a reminder of poor choices (money spent on pieces you’ve never worn) and most of all it keeps you stuck with a wardrobe that is not working.

During a wardrobe transformation we concentrate on the issues of colour, proportion, your best styles, your most complimentary fabrics; we will look at choosing flattering outfits from what you already have and creating a list of what you need to make your wardrobe amazing.

Intentional Shopping

It’s a popular belief that women love to shop; which is not really true (unless they’re shopping for someone other than themselves). How do you feel about shopping? You don’t like to shop because you feel overwhelmed with all of the choices and you ‘already have a closet full of clothes’, you have  a busy life and don’t want to spend your free time in a busy mall  feeling frustrated because you don’t know what looks good on you and you don’t really trust sales ladies to tell the truth, you’re waiting to lose those extra 5 pounds, or you feel guilty about spending money on yourself (remember, you already have a closet full of clothes, even if it’s not working for you). Isn’t there something self-centred about wanting to look great? Actually, caring about how you look and putting time and energy into looking great is an aspect self- care, which is totally different than being self-centered. It’s about self – appreciation, feeling good and treating yourself well.

Intentional Shopping is the final step. Now that you have uncovered your assets and know your stylish self you will no longer shop out of desperation. You will learn to shop with purpose, no longer buying items on impulse or because they’re on sale.

On- going Support

Don’t worry, I won’t leave you to do it all on your own. It takes practice and patience to become a fabulous dresser and I am here to help you along your way. After our initial time together we can set up fashion updates to help you through fashion changes and sometimes body changes.
