Do you leave others with the impression you intended?
Are you remembered for all the right reasons?
What do people say about you when you are not present?

Your attitude, confidence, people skills, etiquette and body language are all just as important as your visual image in getting you to the top and sustaining your position once there.

If you want to be seen, heard and remembered you are in charge of the impact your image is making on your viewer. You have 8-12 seconds to make an impression.  A positive impression will allow you to be heard with your content you want to share with others and their opinion is important  if they will recommend you or not or if they will return to hear more of what you are sharing.

If you are consistent at presenting yourself they will see you as more credible and be more willing to listen to what you have to say. You may not get to share with them if you are inconsistent so it is important for you to be sure you present yourself in a similar way each time you get dressed.

If you look fantastic one day and ho hum the next day people will wonder who you are the fantastic person or the ho hum person.  Those decisions will make a difference in the way they respond to us and even in their decisions to do business with us if we are in business or provide services to others.

Planning ahead for the types of garments we are wearing and how we are putting our looks together are important decisions.  Having the clothing in good repair is also important.  While activities and events will influence what we wear the primary goal is to remain consistent to the style we have developed for ourselves.

When you meet someone, there is about an 8-12 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. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not something you can change and their opinion remains as the first one they had of you.

Proportion and fit influence the overall effect of the image of the clothing the most. Color changes with fashion and what is popular at the time so when finding the colors that appeal in clothing there might be several seasons between choices if the color you like is not in fashion at the time you are shopping for new items. Being comfortable with the color and style choices, regardless of what is popular in fashion, allows you to build a wardrobe that is functional and what I call a working wardrobe rather than a hanging wardrobe.

The weight of the fabric the clothing is made out of influences how warm the garments will be and different fibers also influence the warmth. Think about what your body temperature is and what fabrics feel the most comfortable to you. Some people have difficulty with wool and it itching when touching the skin. Interestingly enough, it can be the way the the fibers are woven or spun that cause the itching.

Of all of the things that contribute to the appearance of a garment on a person, the placement of the clothing is by far what makes the most impact in creating the finished impression that the garment makes as you are wearing it. The eye moves in a specific pattern as it scans and if the garments and accessories are placed on the body so the face is the place the eye rests, people will remember you and not what you are wearing. It is what should have the highest importance when selecting clothing.

Do you have a full-length mirror? If not, invest in one — you must be able to see yourself from head to toe in order to establish the ideal length and correct proportions. Once you have bought your mirror, you’ll appreciate how much difference getting the right proportions can make.

You may be wearing the right colour, style and fabric, but if the length and proportion of your outfit are incorrect for your height and shape, you will not look your best. If you buy a garment that is the incorrect length, have it altered to fit before you wear it. Take off your shoes when checking your correct lengths. If your proportion and legs look good without shoes, then imagine what they will look like with them on!

Whether you like your body or not, if you understand what your current shape and proportions are and know a few style guidelines for your shape you are well on your way to looking your best. Not many of us do have a perfect shape (only something like 2% of the population).  However, you can create the illusion of a perfect body by choosing clothes to create the appearance of perfect proportions.  It’s all about balancing your perceived shape to the "perfect" shape.

Combine wearing flattering clothes with your best colors and you’ll feel fabulous and impress everyone you meet.

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.

It may sound superficial but that is how it really is. If anyone can recall the cliche first impressions last, well that cliche has a lot of truth to it. There is not a second chance to make a good first impression. While a poor first impression can be overcome, it takes time and focused intention to become visually credible and consistent. 

No matter how intelligent and capable a person is no one will trust them if they look like bad guys in an action movie. Looking ho hum one day and knock out the next day will leave your audience wondering who you are the ho hum person or the knock out person and how will you take care of them if they decide to do business with you.

The way to start cleaning up your act (image) is to know:

• what styles of clothing are the best for you based on your body type, age, weight and lifestyle
• what combinations of clothing are worn
• if those combinations are appropriate for the event they are worn to

You can get current information by going here Image Styling Portfolio

Apply this information to your closet and change as needed to have a working wardrobe with the styles working for you instead of against you. Consistent attention to this will allow you to bring your image back to visually credible and consistent which will give you a big payoff in the way you are treated by others.

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.

Early in her sewing career she had a choir ask for 50 dresses to be designed and sewn for them for a special event they were presenting.  Marjorie did all of the measurements, pattern making and sewing.  When she attended the event she noticed some of the ladies looked great and some not so great. 

Since she had done all of the work on creating these garments she immediately went to work to discover what caused the difference in the results she saw.

Once she finally developed the system she found that it worked on all of her friends and clients regardless of their height or weight. She also found that the system could be applied to all men and women.

This system is easily converted into a tool that is personalized for each person. She calls it the Body:Gram Fashion Tool. Like a diagram for a room and where to place furniture, you need to know where to place cothing on your body so it works for your proportion and your bone structure. 

Padding (or weight ) around your bones does not influence your vertical placement formula.  A cool side effect of putting clothing in the right place for your proportion is that you can visually look like you weigh less. 

When you use your Body:Gram Fashion Tool, you will take all the guesswork out of what you wear or your clothing purchases. Since your vertical proportions are based on your bone structure, they will remain the same throughout your life.

Thus your Body:Gram Fashion Tool is a timeless tool! This one time cost-effective investment will result in you saving thousands of dollars by transforming your current wardrobe and help you when making new clothing purchases that will flatter you every time.
