"An Elegant Femme is the woman that exists behind the roles she plays in life. She is the woman who knows that her femininity is a gift. She loves her family deeply and realizes that without self-love, she cannot give to them the way she so deeply desires. An Elegant Femme loves to be chic and stylish, she has hopes and dreams that extend beyond the family household. She has a great vision to serve and to make her mark in this world."

~ Tara Marino

If you have not had someone who is not in your family or close circle of friends help you look at your closet and sort for those items that do not suit you or are not your current size, it is time to think about finding someone to come.  The thing that I hear the most from people on shows like What Not To Wear, Tim Gunn’s Guide To Style, Look 10 Years Younger, Makeovers and Look Alike is that the person does not realize that they do not look the best they can.

We get numb to the appearance we create so the face in the mirror is familiar to us.  When others suggest a change sometimes we resist because we do not want to lose the familiar image in the mirror. 

Twice a year minimum is what is suggested to refresh and change the image you are projecting.  It needs to be someone who will tell you the truth about what you look like in those old, outdated, ill fitting garments and in those that do suit you well.

Fashion cycles change 6 times a year so you can work toward keeping in style by gradually adding more closet updates as you get used to doing the closet checks.

Find a fashion stylist or image consultant in your area and make an appointment to start your closet refreshing and updates then keep up with what they help you get started.

When you meet someone, there is about a 12 second period of time while decisions are being made about who you are and whether you are who you say you are.  The saying “You never have a second chance to make a good first impression” is true. That impression formed on your first meeting with another person, continues to influence your relationship with the person.  You can overcome decisions that are not favorable to you but it does take a great deal of time and energy.

So why not get your first impression to match who you want to be and how you want people to treat you from the start? The tools are available for you to begin your make-over or fresh start.

The change in the weather can change the clothing choices you make. Occasionally, you need to layer so during the day as the temperature increases you can take off jackets or vests or push up sleeves to be more comfortable. You can look at your temperature preferences and then select your clothing to match what you like.

My body temperature has always been to the cool side so extra jackets or sweaters have just been a way of life to handle the extra air conditioning in summer that is common in stores and restaurants. You will be able to quickly notice what is happening around you that might influence your clothing choices for the day.
