Top Tips to Avoid Scary?

Style Mistakes:

1. Neglecting Fit: One of the most common pitfalls is wearing clothes that don’t fit properly. Ill-fitting garments can add bulk or create an unflattering silhouette. Forget about size tags and buy the size that fits you best. Clothes that look too small are definitely scary!
2. Ignoring Your Colour Palette: This time of year is rich with warm hues. Don’t shy away from experimenting with deeper shades that complement your skin tone. Incorporating Autumnal colours can add warmth and vibrancy to your outfits.
3. Overdoing Accessories: While accessories can certainly enhance your look, too many can create visual chaos. Aim for balance -?choose one or two statement pieces to make your outfit pop without overwhelming it.
4. Forgetting to Layer: As temperatures drop, layering is key. Avoid bulky sweaters that can drown your figure. Opt for lightweight layers that can be styled to create a polished look while keeping you warm.
5. Choosing the Wrong Undergarments: The foundation of any great outfit starts with the right undergarments. Avoid visible panty lines or bras that peek out. Instead, opt for seamless options or a good fitting strapless bra for smoother silhouettes. This can make a huge difference in how your clothes fit and look.
6. Neglecting Proportions: Pairing oversized pieces with other oversized items can overwhelm your frame. When wearing a loose-fitting top, balance it with more fitted bottoms, and vice versa. This will create a harmonious look that flatters your figure and keeps you looking chic.

Real Client Story

Rediscovering Confidence: Liz’s Transformational Style Journey

Hey everyone! I can’t wait to share Liz’s inspiring story with you. After having a colour analysis done a few years ago, she decided it was time to take her style to the next level. But like many of us, she found herself struggling with confidence when it came to putting outfits together. Liz felt a bit lost, unsure of what suited her, and honestly, she was feeling pretty down about her body.

We started our journey with a relaxed chat over coffee, where we dove into how Liz wanted to feel in her clothes. She mentioned wanting to be "confident," "professional," and "powerful"—words that really stuck with me. Once we figured out her style personality and body shape, it was time to take a look in her wardrobe.

While we found a few gems in there, it quickly became clear that Liz would need to invest in some new pieces to truly reflect her fabulous lifestyle. So, we set up a fun personal shopping trip, and I promised her this wasn’t just a casual browse; we were going to find some amazing items together!

After just a couple of hours, Liz walked away with some fantastic key pieces and a newfound understanding of how to shop like a pro. Over the next few weeks, we kept in touch, and I loved seeing her put together outfits from our shopping trip along with items she ordered.

But the best part? Liz decided to take me up on my seasonal special offer! During our follow-up Zoom call, I could hardly believe how far she had come. She was no longer worried about her size; she was loving her clothes and finding new ways to style them. Liz was even planning more date nights with her husband, and she signed up for an empowerment course to explore new career paths.

She feels like herself again, and she’s radiating confidence!
