Perks of Having an Image Consultant
I’m always asked how I got into styling and what it means to be an image consultant. Honestly, I never really saw my future being in this area..I was never really confident in the way I dressed and had not really found a direction of my own when it came to my personal style. But as grew into my own sense of style more and more, a boost in self confidence followed. I started to pay more attention to my clothing: what fit me best, how to properly style it and most importantly the quality of the pieces. Working for a clothing brand also gave me the most exposure to building my personal style, but also allowed me the space to help others find themselves in their own style. Seeing those who were not very confident in their style made me want to give them that confidence boost that I experienced.
Investing in your style and appearance overall can open the door to so many things! Increase your social standing, improve your self-confidence and even promote your career opportunities. I personally like to think of my clients as friends because not only do I get to work with you, I get to know more about you as a person. Understanding your goals, your social activities, budget and so much more. I feel this sets me apart from so many other stylists who choose to get right into the work rather than build rapport and experience with their clientele. As your image consultant, my objective is making sure you command the room both personally and professionally with your style.
What We Start With
The first meeting with me is geared more toward getting to know you, your style goal and establishing your budget. This is your initial Wardrobe Consultation. A deep understanding of where you are currently and where you would like to be is key in this initial meet. Included with this first consult, I audit your closet or wardrobe to weed out the old or ‘out of style’ pieces, replace those items with fresh new pieces, and determine the proper direction to take after.
Once we’ve established a proper vision that matches your needs, we move into building your wardrobe. Depending on the direction you’d like to go, I begin building your outfit(s). Check out my Style Me tab for more information on ways I help build and utilize your full wardrobe. I have a few different packages that cater to the different needs of my current clientele, and hopefully could work for you!
fun fact: Most people in the U.S. only use 20% of their wardrobe
How We Move Forward
93% of communication is based on your appearance (55% visual and 38% vocal). It is that initial meeting that sets the tone and how society takes you in visually. Simply put, image is everything! What you wear and how you carry yourself makes a huge difference in your successes as an individual and working professional..who you are and who you want to be!
Working with me isn’t a one time thing; as you make developments in your career and social life, your wardrobe should evolve with you. Working with an image consultant to bring your wardrobe up to date is vital in keeping you on trend. Remember, those refreshes are super important and having your consultant find those missing key pieces makes all the difference!
So ask yourself, do you need an update when it comes to your wardrobe? Want to enhance your personal image? Need a refresh in your self brand? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then you should really look into adding an image consultant to your circle.
