Years ago when I first trained to become an image consultant, I learned the following: The way you look affects the way you think, the way you feel, the way you act and then the way others react towards you. I experienced this at a very high level last Friday.
I was shopping for new glasses. I've worn glasses since I was 9 years old, but until I started wearing my current glasses, I never really liked the way I looked in glasses and never felt fantastic wearing them. (I wore contact for a few years, but I've developed a condition called dry eyes, and the contacts absolutely kill my eyes.) I also dreaded shopping for new glasses, as I never liked any of the new frames on my face.
This was all until I started working with Connie at Europtics in Cherry Creek North. She is fantastic at choosing frames that work for you. Her process is a lot like the one I use
I
was shopping with a client the other day at Saks. I have to say, this isn't the best time for shopping either for winter clothes or spring clothes. However, my client was in true need of some winter clothing. The fall clothes have either been shipped out or the selections are really spotty. And the spring collections haven't been fully shipped. Truly, it's a pretty dire scene at most of the stores, but Saks had a pretty large selection of sale items left. I actually think they may have had things shipped in from their larger stores. While I was pre-shopping, my trusted salesperson, Joanie, mentioned, "We have some things on sale." (She works in the Chanel department, where they have the best dressing rooms.) At first I didn't see it, but then she led me to a back corner where there were several racks of deeply discounted DESIGNER CLOTHES. I'm talking Max Mara, Escada, Armani, Akris Punto, and more. My client found among many other great sale items, an Akris Punto jacket that was originally $1000, marked down to $397. (Read more...)
