What happens when you get invited to a special event?

After you get all “dolled up,” do you look in the mirror and realize you look awful?

Does your outfit cling to your body revealing every bulge?
Do you look tired, old or washed out?
Maybe you don’t know what’s wrong.

But you feel, you look bad.

If you leave your home looking like this, everyone will think,

“That poor woman, is over the hill.”

Will they

Feel sorry for you…

Talk about you…

or

Avoid you…

You say to yourself…

**“I must find something else to wear.”**

You go to your closet and begin desperately searching.
Before you know it, you have pulled out more than half the clothes in your closet.
Clothes are piled everywhere and now you are running late.
Still you haven’t found the right outfit to wear.

Your heart starts beating faster and you are perspiring profusely as your panic builds.

If you have straight hair it’s hanging limp and wet.
If you have curly hair, it has frizzed up into a wild mass, from perspiration.

Your carefully made up face, is now red and blotchy and your makeup has melted away.

You are a wild woman, as you vainly pull more and more pieces of clothing out of your closet and drawers.

The friend waiting for you outside in the car has begun to impatiently honk the horn.

Or the phone is ringing and the hostess is asking,

“What’s going on, why aren’t you here yet?”

You are in fight or flight mode and can’t talk.

You think to yourself,

”I must find something to wear fast.”

Do you put on that original outfit again and force yourself to leave the house?

Will you hide in a corner, hoping others don’t notice that you are looking fat or frumpy?

Because this has happened before, you know you will be miserable, if you don’t find something to wear that makes you look and feel good.

Do you give up in disgust and call the hostess and say,

“I’m too sick to attend.”

Now you really do feel sick, as your heart beats faster, panic is racing through your body and you can’t stop perspiring.

Maybe your problem isn’t a special event

Maybe it’s facing your closet everyday.

Do you dread trying to find something to wear to work?

Because

You have gained weight.
Your shape has changed.
Your “old faithfuls,” are threadbare.
Or you have a closet stuffed with separates but nothing matches.

Is there something you can do to avoid all of this?

You can call in sick, and hide out while you exercise like crazy, lose a few pounds and then spend lots of money on new clothes.

Even with exercise, weight loss, and new clothes, you will face the same problem, if you don’t learn what colors and styles really flatter you.

You can’t depend on the fashion industry for accurate information on how to choose flattering clothes and accessories.

They are not in the business of teaching you how to understand your unique style.

They want to sell you the latest clothes and accessories.

There is a solution

You can learn to be your own Personal Image Consultant.

Imagine…

Having a closet full of mix and match clothes that all look great on you.

Imagine…

Going shopping and knowing what to buy and what to avoid.

This won’t take thousands of dollars or years to do.

You don’t even have to wait till you lose weight to start looking and feeling better.

And you don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes.

You can learn to shop your closet and use what you already have.

Are you ready to learn to be your own “Image Consultant,” and say goodbye to the panic of “Nothing to Wear”?

“My stomach sticks out, no matter what I put on.

How did I get stuck with this dumpy body?

My waistline has disappeared.

And my breasts are drooping

When I was younger, my body shape wasn’t so bad.

As I have gotten older, everything has gone South.

Will I ever be able to feel good again about the way I look?

What can I do? “

Does this sound like what you say to yourself, when you look in the mirror?

You can diet and exercise to tone up your body, but it will take some time to see changes.

While you diet and tone up, what else can you do now, for instant results?

Color Magic

Instead of looking in the mirror and criticizing yourself, you can learn some simple visual tricks using color to redirect the eye away from your problem parts.

You can start to learn to use color, by first learning a new way to look at yourself in the mirror.

Stand at least 5 feet from a full length mirror, with good lighting and use the blink test.

1. Blink at yourself

2. When you open your eyes, notice where your eyes go first. (This is your focal point, the part that will be seen first and where the eyes will be drawn back to repeatedly.) Is this where you want people to focus? If it’s not, you need to bring attention back to your face and eyes.

3. You can bring attention to your face and eyes using color. Because our eyes automatically search for repeated colors, you can do this by repeating your eye color, lip color or hair color in your clothing and accessories.

4. Look at your face and eyes. Do the colors you are wearing make your eyes sparkle and your shadows and wrinkles look less obvious? If the answer is no, you need to find out what your best colors are.

The Use of Color

The Wrong Way to Use “A POP of Color.”

A recent trend is wearing a pop of color, with shoes or a purse that are a different color than you main outfit. (This creates a focus on your feet or your purse)

capsule wardrobeturquoiseshoes — POP of blue color at feet pulls the focus down to the feet.

Do you want people to focus on your feet or your purse?

When they focus on your purse, they are more likely to also notice the size of your hips, or waist since strapped purses usually stop at the hip or waist area.

When the focus is at your feet, the eyes are drawn to the feet instead of the face.

The Right Way to Use A Pop of Color, To Look More Pulled Together

By repeating your clothing colors an uneven number of times from head to toe, you can look coordinated and visually balanced because the repeated color keeps the eyes of the viewer moving up and down.

Because the eyes are kept moving by the repeated color, when someone looks at you they won’t be focusing on the width of your body or any one specific part.

When used correctly, the flattering repeated colors will keep pulling the viewers eyes back to your face and eyes.

Two Examples

If your hair is brown, by wearing brown shoes that are similar in color to your hair, and repeating the brown at your neckline in a scarf or at your waist with a sash or belt the viewers eyes will go from your brown hair to your brown scarf at your neck to your brown shoes and then up again.

(By changing the black belt to brown there would be more visual balance.) Instead of the eyes stopping at the black belt the eye would go from the brown jacket to the brown belt and down to the brown shoes and back up again to the brown belt and jacket.

It will take a little practice to train your eyes to see what looks unbalanced and what you need to change.

Research has shown that when our eyes look at something that is visually balanced, our brain waves change and we feel good.

Not only will you feel good when you look at yourself, enabling you to be comfortable and confident in any situation, but your visually balanced appearance will be pleasing to others, creating instant visual credibility and instant beauty.
