Express Yourself
The other day I read a blog post where the blogger was talking about how she’s tired of the old New Year’s adage, “New Year, New You,” and the term “make-over.” She proposed, “New Year, Better You,” and “make-better.”
I couldn’t agree with her more. Isn’t our goal to continually improve ourselves or freshen up an aspect of our appearance? As an image/wardrobe consultant, I never aim to completely change someone’s look, rather I help them enhance and make the absolute most of what they have.
Then I read a great article in the January issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Reinvent Yourself by Teri Agins. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the article:
“But most of us just want to polish and maximize who we already are, and what better time than the present? With all its visual impact, fashion is always a good place for a new start.”
“When you are well dressed and fierce, it’s life enhancing for you and all the people around you,” declares Simon Doonan, creative director at Barneys New York. She goes on to suggest taking your personal style and pumping up the volume. For example, if you love dressing glamorously for evening, why not inject some of that glamour into your everyday look.
“While there’s no denying that a style update will bring on the compliments, there’s no satisfaction like the confidence boost that you get from within.” I have to admit, this is the absolute favorite part of my job. When a client finds a new look she love, she lights up from within! Click here to read more about how I can help you reinvent yourself for 2010.
