You know it makes sense

As you may have guessed by now I tend towards the optimistic, I'll find the sunny side, look for the rainbow and make enough lemonade to drown in!  However there are days when this is harder than others - days when everything you try is wrong and you just aren't quite getting it right.  Days when you can't turn your clients frown upside down, when she is determined that you are a waste of money and the experience is a waste of time.  So for these people I'd just like to ask a few questions.

How many dresses are in your wardrobe that you only know how to wear one way?
How many outfits have you bought that you only wear together because there is no cross over in your pieces?
How many jumpers do you put on that have been eaten by moths or the shape has been ruined by how you store them?
How many times have you put on something you bought in a rush and taken it off because it doesn't look right?
How many hours have you wandered around shops not finding anything you want to buy? (What is your hourly rate)
How many items do you own that look exactly the same but in a different colour?
How many times do you look in the mirror and give yourself a hard time?
How many times do you walk into a room and wish you'd worn something else?
How many times do you feel you look really good?
How many times do your loved ones tell you, you look great?
How many times have you lived/dressed up to your potential?

Ok, just think about these questions in regards to the last fortnight.  I'm not saying work out how much you've spent on your wardrobe, as that is a terrifying prospect.  What I'm saying is that by spending money in a more efficient way you save money in the long run.  As shopping should not be a weekly past time, it's not actually a hobby.  There are better things to do with your time and money.

So do it once, but do it right.  Which is where someone like me comes in,  I'm not going to make you buy thousands of pounds of clothes, I don't get commission from any stores.  What I will make you do is look at the ways you can improve your options.  I show you how to get more use from the items you do have, I'll introduce you to brands and stores you won't have seen before and find a unique style that makes you feel amazing everyday.  So yes it sounds pretty upmarket to say I have an image consultant but you don't have to tell people if you don't want to.  Here's the truth though- people will notice, this is the one thing all my clients share, they feel better about themselves and it is this confidence that draws attention.

I met with a new client today and she said the nicest thing, "You're like an instant reset button."  Maybe you had to be there - what she was saying was that, I removed all her preconceived ideas and let her start afresh.  It didn't happen immediately but we got there together.
