What your clothes say about you
Every single article of clothing you wear says everything about you and it also impacts how you feel. Finding the wardrobe that makes you feel confident and beautiful is an important part of living a life you love, because how you feel impacts everything you do. From colour, to style, to fit, to fabric, each component will either enhance or hinder your personal brilliance. If you want to be all you can be, you have to feel great and that is what I love to do. I talk alot about a “working wardrobe” when I’m with clients, this is not a capsule wardrobe, it’s a wardrobe that's perfectly tailored to your unique personal style, your lifestyle and your budget. It contains everything you need to feel confident and inspired everyday.
A working wardrobe
The perfect wardrobe isn't something that you can cook up in a weekend. Your personal style is the result of many different influences and this can change over time due to the people you have met, places you have been, emotional changes and life changes. It's a truly personal thing that can take a little digging to fully cover, but we have lots of fun in the process! To get there you need to detox your wardrobe first, this will help you identify what clothes you have, helps you identify the patterns you have created and identifies the gaps. After completing your wardrobe detox you now need to consider what makes your perfect wardrobe. You have stuff to do, places to go, people to meet and social events to attend, your wardrobe needs to support all of this in a practical way. Write a list of missing items in your wardrobe, things you have been lusting after, pieces you need to make your wardrobe work for you.
Rules when buying pieces for your wardrobe
1. Buying pieces that fit in your colour palette, that are your 'right' colours and therefore all pieces can be worn together.
2. Your wardrobe should be more than just a collection of stand-alone pieces, it should consist of interrelated parts that all work together, allowing you to mix and match freely and create many different outfits.
3. Your wardrobe should be balanced between key pieces that really signify the essence of your style, statement pieces that add variety to your looks and wardrobe heroes which are the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe and underpin every outfit you put together.
4. Most of all it should express the individual person you are, giving you the confidence to tackle the working day.
