Look Good – Feel Good

Think of a time you looked great, and you knew it. How you felt, how you interacted with people, and how people looked at you.
I remember going twice in one day to the same place. The first time I was wearing sweatpants and a tee shirt, and the second dressed-up for an evening out with friends. The same people were there. I was invisible and ignored the first time and treated like royalty the second. They, of course, did not know I was the same person. I choose to think they were entirely lovely people who would never think of themselves as prejudiced. As humans, we decide on competence and trustworthiness within a few seconds of meeting someone. So, in my example, if you are thinking, “I don’t care’ about how I look” then that is how you will come off to everyone, you meet.
Be Noticed – Be Yourself
There are many unfair prejudices. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we got to see someone for who they are on the inside? Yes, Polly Anna, it would!
“First impressions are based on a wide range of characteristics: age, race, culture, language, gender, physical appearance, accent, posture, and voice. The first impressions individuals give to others could greatly influence how they are treated and viewed in many contexts of everyday life.” – Wikipedia
We cannot control someone’s prejudice. We can control our physical appearance. Why do some clothes look better on you than other outfits? Do some colors wash you out? How about styles, even the latest fashion, does it sometimes make you look dowdy or like you are trying too hard? Have a favorite go-to couple of outfits, but the rest of your closet is a graveyard? Or are you not quite sure how to duplicate that great look but also have plenty of variety in color, style, texture, even sheen? Are you wasting time and money-buying clothing that does not look good on you and you will never wear?
As a Caucasian woman, the prejudice I experience is gender. Lately, there has been some age prejudice coming my way too. Like anyone, I am grateful to have people who know and love me.
This ‘system’ is about reclaiming ownership of how you present yourself to the world! I want you to look good and feel good all the time. Whether you are ready for some small changes or a head to toe transformation, please call to set up your free half hour style consult so that we can explore the next right steps for you.
