Every material choice, including the clothes you buy, sends a message to the world about who you are. The world responds accordingly. What is your wardrobe saying?
Style matters. Shop with Wisdom.
When I shop, I keep these tips in mind. They support me in making the right purchases. And “right” means: I feel good, I look great and I communicate who I truly am.
- Buy a fashion magazine and tear out what you love. Keep in a file folder and use as a reference.
- Be kind to yourself. Leave that mean little voice at home.
- Wear make up. The lighting in changing rooms is horrendous.
- “Tight isn’t always flattering”. In this month’s Domino Magazine, Cynthia Kling writes about buying one size up. Aahhh, comfort and you look lighter!
- Accentuate the positive. What part of your body do you love? Is it your grey-blue eyes, your long neck (you probably look great in turtlenecks), or your feminine ankles?
- Determine if your skin tone is blue based or yellow based. This changed my life. Find two pieces of fabric: one silver, one gold. Drape each one under your chin and you will know instinctively which works for you. I was shocked to see how great I look in yellow and sea foam
colours. No more black for me! - Ingrid Bergman told her daughter, Isabelle Rossellini, “We can’t afford to be cheap.” It’s better to have one great piece (like a coat) which you adore, that lasts for years.
- Finally, shoulders back, head high, wear your wisdom! Be You!
