Seeking Your Style

A great way to be comfortable in your own skin is to fall in love with your body. It all comes down to self-worth and feeling that you truly have value.

Too many of us think “If I just looked better, were skinnier, were more successful, then I’d feel more comfortable”. But it’s not about that at all.

None of those things will help until you learn self-worth. Instead find beauty in the things you already have.

And knowing how to dress your body shape and having a personal colour palette make a major difference.

Meet Anita...

Anita and I worked together after she embarked on her weight loss journey. Anita’s favourite colour is red but she very rarely wore it. She was told it was too bold a colour for her.

WRONG! Red is in Anita’s colour palette for sure.

Working with my clients starts with a chat. I can find out about you and your lifestyle.

After doing body measurements (these can be done either in advance or on the day), we found Anita was pear shape. This means a slim torso, bust and waist with larger hips, thighs and bottom.

Pear shaped bodies benefit from well-tailored and proportioned items. So it’s all about correcting the balance, drawing the eye up and elongating the leg.

Anita’s mindset was still her clothing had to be larger. Together we explored how to dress her new shape.

For example, minimise the bottom half and go crazy with the top! This will draw the eye up and, when paired with dark or solid tones on the bottom, will balance your entire figure.

This inspired Anita to think about items she already had in her wardrobe. One was a leather jacket she hadn’t worn for over 20 years. I encouraged her to try it on. It fitted and she felt a million dollars!

We talked through outfit ideas and I followed up with a report on what items suited her shape and a colour palette. Following the tips I shared and making use of items in her wardrobe, now every day Anita “Dresses In Power”.
