Looking your best? If not, this is for you...

So, I never write about what I do and why I do it. However, with the holidays coming, and everyone wanting to look their best for parties, outings, etc., I deemed it necessary (well, at least in my eyes.) Why should you look your best? What are the advantages to have a Fashion Stylist? Sometimes I get the ”Oh, I don’t have any clothes to work with anyway.” or the ”Nah, I can’t afford that.” Anyway, I’m about to tell you why you need one.

Ok, so the first thing that crosses my mind is image. Do you have a job where you present ideas to people, have to interact on a daily basis or have luncheons to promote a business? Here’s the thing: If you don’t present yourself well with grooming, attire, etc., you are less likely to gain their respect and your credibility goes down to nil. It’s a proven fact. You don’t need to spend a million dollars to look presentable. And this is a big shocker but when you look good, you feel good. I always say that it’s like putting on a “Superman suit.” As soon as you put something awesome on, great things happen.

Here’s the next one that’s huge on my list: Are you a mom? For all of you moms who feel like they don’t need to wear anything stylish and cute because they’re just hanging around kids all day I say “Stop it?” For the same amount of time it took you to throw on those ”holier” than thou sweatpants, you could have thrown on a cute pair of leggings, a cozy sweatshirt dress, furry boots and a plaid scarf. And you can do that on any budget. You can. I promise.

I‘ll stop at this one. The work-from-home hubby. Your 1989 Powerhouse workout pants were fab at one time. But if you aren’t working out, don’t wear those. Girls hate them. Guys, I know you love your “casual” (sweatpants) outfits but I’m telling you, your wife/girlfriend/aunt/mom/babe at the mall will thank me for pointing this out. I don’t care, wear sweatpants. But will you please update them. Gap has some great updated versions (Old Navy as well.) Pair them with a cool long sleeve tee and a lightweight puffy vest. Voila! It isn’t that difficult and you don’t have to iron it. Throw the tee in the dryer to at least take some of the wrinkles out.

I deemed it necessary to write about this. I have helped so many people get out of a rut...and I don’t care how much money you have to spend, I can do it. I’ve pasted a photo of what a Wardrobe Edit is. I go into your closet and create as many outfits as I can out of what you already have. Even the people who say they have nothing have something. Don’t give me that. With the shopping, I take all of the pain out of it. I (literally) look at you, run through the stores and grab what I think will work on you. I’ll total it up, take off the sale, the coupons, add the tax and give you your estimated total with my math brain. I’ll keep you exactly on your budget. And they fun is free.

So, the next time you want to throw on your favorite outfit from 1998 consider this; Would Brad Pitt or Megan Fox do a double-take of me in this? If not, don’t wear it. I’m sayin’.
