Why doesn't this work?

Carol looks stunning in the black and cream jacket. The colours set off her warm spring colouring.

The style of the jacket gives her a lovely business look.

The neckline is buttoned up making it too conservative and severe.

Her style is casual and alluring so wearing a wide scooped neck or a V neckline makes her feel better.

Dress with confidence

1. Select clothing that shows off the parts of you that you like.

If you have great breasts, don’t conceal them.
If you have good legs, show them off.
If your bottom looks great in pants, wear pants.
If you have pretty feet, have pedicures ... have pedicures anyway!
If you have lovely hands, use manicures, rings and bracelets.

2. Learn what colours and styles suit your colouring, shape, personality and needs.

3. Curves and shape are beautiful. Enjoy yourself.

4. Go on, try something you would never choose normally. Great things happen when you think outside the box. We are on your side and want you happy and gorgeous.

In the words of one client

"I really had a fabulous time at your boutique last week.

Looking smart is important in my career. Three or four times a year I would foray into the shops looking to update my wardrobe. How many times did I spend a small mortgage but come away feeling disappointed in my acquisitions, reminded of my poor choices everytime I opened the wardrobe. (And of course, all of it “too good” to throw out!)

How liberating to meet you! I realize I don’t need to be an expert at choosing clothes because YOU are. I really appreciated your approach from assessing my lifestyle needs and preferences through helping me understand the colours that best suit me, to selecting clothes that flatter my figure. And the makeup was fantastic!" Read more.

TIPS

Regular exercise and a positive attitude help boost body confidence enormously.
Look for your good points and things you like about yourself.
“People who have body confidence don’t berate themselves about eating too much cake, or punish themselves when they skip a session at the gym. Instead, they climb mountains, physical and metaphorical, and reach the heady peaks of inner peace and self acceptance.”

Notebook Magazine, May 2007

Do you often say "I only have to look at food and I gain weight?

Try saying "I can eat whatever I like and stay slim". It can't hurt!
