Life is what happens when you're waiting for special events

Do you wish you looked "totally with it" on those days that you’re going to spend in the hectic & dulling work environment, running around with the kids, days worn down by the demands of the bai, the family dramas requiring handling, the date with boyfriend, the requirements of public transport - in other words, everyday life?

I'll let you in on a little secret..this confidence is not difficult to achieve. All you need to do is identify the styles that suit your body shape and voila! you are in business. The business of looking good at all times, that is.

Step 1 : Find out the colours that suit you. These will the ones that warm up your skintone, the ones that make you look/feel cheery. And no, this doesn't need to be always be pink! To get a professional opinion, get a colour consultation done by an image consultant. 

Step 2 : Identify your biggest problem areas. Yes, I KNOW you want to put tummy, thighs, bum, boobs, arms, chin, ankles, all of it, on that list. Stop! limit yourself to two body parts. The rest are "issues" that exist only in your imagination, trust me

Step 3 :  Identify your best features. Yes, make these two too. Faces, wrists, ankles, neck, shoulders and calves often find their way onto this list. Let's not forget the beautiful B's, eh? Yes, you might think they're saggy or flat or over-ripe, but, with the correct support, your boobs can definitely make it to the list of your best friends. 

Step 4 : Find an objective girlfriend or alternatively, just any girlfriend whom you can goad into releasing her inner judgemental b*tch (You KNOW that we all have one of 'em in us!. Now, model on all your favourite clothes for her. These are the clothes that you gravitate to on the rare occasions when you do have time to think about what you want to wear i.e. the clothes that make you feel prrrrretty . Let her point out to you those clothes that make you look slimmer, make you look more proportionate, which disguise your flabby bits better than others versus the ones that wash you out & urge you to reach desperately for makeup or the ones that make you look bigger or older than you are. Listen carefully to her comments and observations. Use them to identify the common factors amongst the "good" clothes - that will help you to identify exactly which styles suits you and which need to go into the bin. 

Step 5 : Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand your're done!

It really is that simple. Once you know which colours and styles suit you best, make them your signature. Buy different colours and variations with that basic  style(s). Accessorize differently and believe me, nobody will realise that you're wearing the same sort of thing all the time. But what they will realise is that you're looking effortlessly stylish ALL the time! 

So invest the time and effort, ladies. Or if you want a fast and professional opinion, once and for all, you can always give moi a call. It's time to ramp up to Everyday Chic. Once you've found it, I guarantee the lady in the mirror is going to smile at you every morning .
