Are you under
the illusion like many others, that to look
great and stylish, you need to have a heavy
wallet?
Well if you are one amongst the many that
think this way, then think again! Style can be
found almost anywhere, and with the assistance
of a personal fashion stylist, you could be
dressing to impress, and have your friends
thinking you've had a pay rise.
I have found that what works for me is
finding a few basics, such as a skirt, trousers,
boots or shoes, that are good quality pieces,
and buying them on sale nights or using discount
vouchers, this means I get a quality,
inexpensive piece and then I can look for bits
and pieces to go with them. I personally, at
this stage in my life, don't wear designer
clothes as I have a large family to raise, but
as soon as I am able, what I have just said will
still apply, of course, having the means to step
up to another level of style will definitely
make a difference.
Style is all about confidence, and being able
to carry yourself in all social and business
environments. I believe we are all capable of
doing this, but there are many that could do
with some guidance. Having a personal Fashion
Stylist doing all the hard work for you can
sometimes be the answer.
These days, there are so many copies made of
designer labels, and these are easy to find
almost anywhere. I find that a great idea I have
is to look through fashion magazines and cut out
photos of any pieces that catch my eye, and
carry them around in my bag, so that when I am
shopping for clothes, I can use them as a
reference. I am continually amazed at how fast
copies of garments worn by the stars and those
worn by models on the catwalk, appear into the
various fashion outlets. For me, it can become a
bit of a challenge, in an entertaining way, to
find copies, it is also a constant source of
amusement to me, to receive compliments from
people on a regular basis, on the assumption
that what I am wearing must cost a lot. That is
the best part of it for me, as only I know just
how much I have spent.
Having the assistance of a personal fashion
stylist sounds extravagant, and yes there are
some top end stylists out there, but there are
also some who cater for the needs of everyone. A
few hours with a personal fashion stylist could
be seen as the equivalent of a few hours at the
hair dresser or in the beauty parlour, the
difference being you will come away with some
lasting knowledge about your own personal style.
Be aware that style has to suit you, don't get
caught up in the latest fads, they will just end
up costing you more as they are here one week
and gone the next. I have done this myself many
times over the years, I call them one wear
wonders, and then they sit in my wardrobe taking
up valuable space for my potential new pieces.
I feel it is a great service to have someone show you a different way of
dressing, shops you may have never ventured into and styles you thought you
couldn’t wear. If this is what you would like for yourself, then take a look at
my
