The time is now.  Time for you, that is.  If you’ve been putting your image off for too long because you don’t have enough time, it’s too hot, or you don’t want to spend the money, I want you to ask yourselves what it’s really costing you.  Are you endlessly spending money on the "magic pill" that will make you look fabulous?  Are you avoiding opportunities because you don’t like how you look or don’t know what to wear?  Are you bored with how you look and dread getting dressed in the morning? Then it’s time for a change – a makeover with staying power that will leave you feeling fabulous!

"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

 Lifestyle Coach and founder of Elegant Femme

If you do not like the way you look, you are so focused on yourself that you can miss the people around you and what they can contribute to your life and what you can contribute to theirs.

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  It needs to be someone who will tell you the truth about what you look like in those old, outdated, ill fitting garments and in those that do suit you well.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 your dressing image does not match but you think it does"

Be sure you are not in the 2 dolphin mode when you consider your clothing.  What does that mean you ask?  It is when you think you look like the dolphin on the left but you really look like the image on the right. When that happens, it is time to re-group and do something about it.Find out how to do that by reading more below…

We get so much information every day that is from sources that we feel are reliable, however, the information does not work for everyone. How do you sort for you?

1. Do you know what works for your body shape, size, weight, how you are distributing your weight, what are your body issues, your lifestyle and age. 

2. Are you applying that information to the clothing in your closet. What stays, goes, is outdated or totally out of fashion?

3. Have your clothing needs changed but you haven’t changed or removed those items that no longer fit or work in your life?

4. Are you able to ask for help from a reliable source that you can trust to help you and not some clerk in the store who is racking up a sales tally for the day and is suggesting items to you that clearly do not work in any area of your life?

5. Can you be objective about the fashion styles and if they look good on you?

6. Are you wearing colors that are not your best just because they are in fashion?

If you wavered on any of these items you need to take a good close look at what image you are presenting to the world and if it is a pretty sight or not.  You can get positive attention or negative attention.  What is your image doing for you?

Then get your personalized proportion information so you look your best in your clothing at http://www.bodygramfashiontool.com

Get help from an image consultant in your area as well as an organizer so going into your closet every day is not a negative adventure where  you feel like you got beaten up just by trying to find something that will work for you to wear for the day or event.

Be sure you are not in the 2 dolphin mode when you consider your clothing.  What does that mean you ask?  It is when you think you look like the dolphin on the left but you really look like the image on the right. When your dressing image does not match but you think it does

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

 

~Leonardo Da Vinci

 

Spring is stripping away the winter and as it does there’s a stirring of energy inspiring us to let go and renew. I support you in shedding old papers, clothing, shoes, handbags and habits that can lighten your gait.

Energy is always shifting and changing into more magnanimous expression. Enjoy the change and know that every moment is a renewing of ideas.  It is indicative of a feminine strength to flow with the rhythm of life and trust its course to lead to magnificent fruition. And it will!  Feel where life is beckoning you, dress accordingly and move forward.

 

While it is sometimes hard to let those old friends in the closet find new homes it is very important to your ability to move forward with ease.  Clothing items are a comfort to us, hold special memories and can keep us in the loop when situations will not come again.

 

When I became a widow the closet was really a traumatic experience to face every day.  Many of the clothing items at that time were matching shirts and that just threw me into having to face the loss in a very personal way at a very basic level every time I opened the closet door.

 

While I hope you do not have to handle that kind of experience I hope you can understand, in this instance, that changing all of the clothing in the closet became an immediate priority.

 

To help you find a new or refreshed clothing style so you can move forward with the changes that life has handed you you can do that easily and quickly by imputing your information online about your age, lifestyle, body type and preferences and getting an immediate styling portfolio of all of the styles and combinations of clothing that would work for you uniquely.  It is quick and easy.  Find out how.

The weather went from below freezing temperatures to in the mid eightys which is quite a jump in just a few days.  If you have had that kind of weather change in your area the challenge is what to wear.  I recommend that you layer so you can remove sweaters, jackets or vests during the day if you get too warm.

Many stores and offices are on a central air conditioning unit so the building is being cooled with that central unit.  This creates many warmer and cooler spots within the office or store so be prepared by taking extra clothing items until you get adjusted to the new environment and how cool it is being kept.

The balance in what to wear inside where the air conditioning is really blasting and the outside where the temperature is very warm are common challenges during this transition. I always carry a sweater with me and put to on if I am inside a store or office where the air is more that my personal body taste.  It is hard to work or to shop when you are shivering with cold.

To determine your best styles of clothing so you know what you can mix and match, you can get your personal combinations and styles of clothing with this easy to use styling portfolio.  Go here to get a discount coupon for your online   Star-Estyle

Fashion and self confidence go hand in hand. Simply wearing the most fashionable clothes around is not often enough and you have to feel confident with them. This can be a difficult thing to achieve, but by understanding your body shape, you should be able to find the best clothes for you, boosting your confidence immediately.

Finding the right wardrobe styles for your body type now is easier that ever with an online program.  Just fill in your body type and shape along with your age and lifestyle and immediately you will have your best styles.

Imagine how much fun it will be to go shopping with your styles and how much you will save not buying those things that are likely to hang in the closet because the clerk talked you into something that didn’t work for you.

Spring time is always a time when the spring cleaning bug begins to stir us into action for cleaning the house and closets.  Most seem to avoid the closet until the last thing that needs to be done because of this simple reason.  Not knowing what to keep and what to find a new home. 

In helping people for years with this keep-not keep debate, my experience is that the reason the debate got started was when some clerk at a store talked you into something that was not your best so you brought it home and hung it in the closet and it has stayed there maybe even with the price tag still on it.  You are not alone.  The majority of the people in the shopping world have done the same thing.

That is what gives you the feeling that you do not have anything to wear.  That is true.  The styles are a mixture, the fits vary and the clothing does not go well together with other items you have in the closet.  I call that a hanging wardrobe rather than a working wardrobe. 

Well now it is a perfect time when the cleaning bug has us stirred to action to handle the closet intruders that do not fit, that you do not ever wear, that need repairs you do not want to do, etc. 

There is an online styling portfolio for women that shows the exact style assortment for you based on your body type, size, shape and lifestyle.  Extraordinary and accurate right from home.  Go here to get a nice discount coupon and have fun.  At last a tool to help you see what to keep and what to find new homes for whether that is re-sale shop, donation or trash.  Go Here Now!

The hanger on-ers need to go and this is a good time to start weeding them out.

There are many things that influence our choices in clothing and accessories.

    * Start with your body shape
    * Continue with your skin undertone coloring (the pink or peach you see when you look at your fingertips when you turn your hands over)
    * Then look at your hair color (is it your natural color or are you having it colored)
    * Then look at the color of your eyes

Out of these items which people commonly check when purchasing clothing, the only ones that are needed are your skin undertone and body shape.  Dressing to match your hair or eye color are secondary to these things.

Select a true turquoise and hold that color up to your face then duplicate the way your face looks when you try on other items of clothing.  This is what it means to support your skin tone and when you look your very best. This is the only color that everyone can wear.  Your shade might be lighter or darker and you can play with that so the color gives your skin tone the best overall look with no shadows or dark lines.  Then use that as your guideline for every color you try on to be sure you continue to look your very best.

Then the style of clothing for your body shape is the next thing to consider.  You can get amazing information from a new online source for giving you this information.  Check here: to get a nice 1/2 price coupon so you can have your information before you go shopping the next time.
