Eat before you unleash your inner Personal Stylist

June 6, 2016 by Angela No Comments

As a Personal Stylist it is fair to say I have quite a few shopping hours under my belt.
There is a maximum of shopping your mind + body can take before it needs a rest and more importantly something to eat and drink.
During the Personal Styling sessions I can see my client’s energy drop usually around the 2 hour mark.
When you are shopping up a storm at your favorite shopping centre to find your new wardrobe pieces and your tummy is rumbling? It is time to have a break and have some food and something to drink.
 
A research team from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden has discovered that when you feel hungry a hormone called ghrelin is released in your body. The ghrelin hormone makes you less capable of making great decisions or control impulse buys.
 
So if you are really ready for a coffee and a snack, ask the shop to hold your pieces and come back after. This will make it easier for to only buy the things you love!
In my attempt to help women create a wardrobe they love, how and what you buy will most definitely determine how much you love your wardrobe.

Here is are your Personal Stylist  tips for a successful shopping session:

1. Eat a healthy and nutritious meal before you start shopping.
2. Have a water bottle in your bag.
3. Go to the toilet before you start as there is nothing worse than a full bladder and trying on clothes and even more importantly you will not be able to think straight let alone make great purchasing decisions.
4. Try your favorite picks from the store before you buy them.
5. Only buy the items you love!
For more tips on how to create a wardrobe you love, please follow the links to the articles I wrote in the 10 part series “10 most important things to look for when you shop”.

Part 1 – What is Missing in Your Wardrobe

Knowing what is in your wardrobe is a must before you add more.

In this part I take you through the steps on how to organise your wardrobe.

I will even share with you that it is very possible that you have $6000 worth of clothes sitting in your wardrobe right now gathering dust!

I love this part and I hope you get lots out of it!

Part 2 – What Looks Great for Your Body Shape 

Research shows that 91% of women are not happy with their body shape. Discover in part 2 what your body shape is what styles really work for you.
You can take the ideal styles for your shape and compare them to what you currently have in your wardrobe.
You will find it very easy to measure your body shape and use the Style Angel online body shape calculator.

 Part 3 – What are Your Best Colours

I love this topic as knowing and wearing your best colours you will look healthy and feel great.

In this part I delve deeper into how you can work out what looks great on you.

I also share an incredible list of colours that are universal and suit every one.

Part 4 –  Bring Out The Personal Shopper

Years and years of unproductive shopping may have taken the excitement out of shopping for you.You may preempt already that you are probably not “going to fit into anything” or “find anything”, so it is time to take on your shopping alter ego so your super shopping powers are turned on.
I will you show you how!

 

 Part 5 – Create a Shopping Plan

One of the crucial parts of a successful shopping trip in my experience is to create a Shopping Plan.

In Part 5 I will take you through a list of things that will make it easier for you to shop and quite possibly could

 

 

Part 6 – Set Your Budget

Sticking to your budget is really important to have a guilt free shopping trip.

The amount of tags I have seen on items never worn in clients’ wardrobe is proof that there is room for improvement. Learn to be a smart buyer and take charge in Part 6.

 

Part 7 – Spot The Look

What to do when you walk into a clothing store? This is when the magic starts. You are loaded with ideas of what you are looking for. Either individual items or entire new looks.

In Part 7 you get an exclusive insight into the process I go through selecting the items that ultimately will make it to the top items to buy.

 Part 8 – Pick the Right Pattern

Patterns are a tricky thing to pick for most my clients so I have it easy in Part 8  that you can find the right size of pattern as well as the right colour combination.

Patterns have a great ability to hide your natural curves by giving the mind of the person looking at you so much to process.

If the pattern is not only great in size, perfect for your colouring and the garment is a fantastic style for your body shape; you have hit the jackpot!

Part 9 – Check the Perfect Fit

A really important part of creating a wardrobe that you love, is to go through all the elements of your potential new purchase while you are trying the pieces in the change room.

Settling for less in this moment can cost you lots of money and disappointment. In fact, it is the moment that will decide if you are adding an item that you love wearing to your collection or that the item will gather dust in your wardrobe.

This part will take you through each item of clothing what you need to look for. From tops to bottoms, from bras to shape wear!

Chapter 10 - The Love Factor

Part 10 – The Love Factor

Wouldn’t it be great to have every single item in your wardrobe being a 10 out of 10! How exciting would getting dressed be? No more trying many different outfits on before you get the “one” that you will wear that day. How much happier would you be if everything that you wear feels comfortable and looks great.

Love can mean many things to different women. For some it is the way it looks, the way it feels and for others it is the number of compliments they receive. For many it is all of the above.

Country Road is doing some gorgeous coats (xxs-xl) Country Road is doing some gorgeous coats (xxs-xl) this season. Love the trench/puffer or "truffer" 😂 and I will go and try that one on for sure. 
The structure of 2nd one is just line and design perfection, stunning!
How comfy does the faux fur one look, love it. 
And a pop of colour is great for winter. That style is not my cup of tea for my pear shape but I love the colour. 
Where have you found your favourite coat this season, would love to hear your 🧥 love story! x

Matched with a blue top I found at @kookai_australia or the matching white tee.
Jeans jacket is from my collection by @decjuba where I took all the buttons off so it looks less military.

Ready to party in this lovely sparkly number by the Little Party Dress. Awesome to show the neck, part of the arm and some leg.

This dress is by JacquiE. The lace overlay is always flattering for the Rectangle shape and the V-neck suits the neckline. I found a lovely Gregory Ladner scarf that you can throw over the arms if you want to. Lovely golden accessories make it a timeless and very chic special occasion outfit.

PEAR 🍐 PARTY OUTFIT This dress is by Review, wh PEAR 🍐 PARTY OUTFIT
This dress is by Review, who have a really lovely collection of dresses out at the moment. A lovely waist definition and A-line which is perfect for the Pears who have more than 15 cm difference between the bust and hips. Try the size that fits the upper body and waist.

Could not resist adding the purple necklace which I found on the Colette website. But you could also leave the neck bare and keep the focus on the waist detail. #dressforyourshape

Any finish line 🏁 in your outfit is either elon Any finish line 🏁 in your outfit is either elongating  or widening. Sleeve length on arm, top length on hips, skirt finish on legs and yes pants finish. 
👖
Elevating the length to 7/8th instead of full length gives a slimmer point to look at which creates the illusion of slimness. There is a point of relieve before the shoe starts. Especially since shoes often have widening details like straps.

I’m not sponsored by any company so I can show I’m not sponsored by any company so I can show  whatever the heck I like based on what I have tried, heard, seen. These tees by French Connection have been many clients’ favourite this spring/summer. Clients in a range of size ranges and shapes. Small bust, big bust. Something with a little difference. If sleeves are your thing, check them out. I reckon they fly out like hot cakes 🍰 as not all colours showing up any more online.

Questions, questions and more questions is what I Questions, questions and more questions is what I ask before putting a single item in the change room for a client. Sleeves, neckline, pockets, zippers, length, pattern, colour… you get the drift. If you want to buy like a stylist then consider what you can see about each item. It might save you on a few occasions purchasing something less than great.

With the incredible discounts happening everywhere With the incredible discounts happening everywhere for Black Friday it is the perfect time to stay true to what you love the most. 
💫
40% off might seem like a great deal at the time. If you then never wear it, it’s expensive snack food for moths doing nothing in your wardrobe. 
💫 
Buying what you love is as simple as taking a minute to ask yourself some questions about all the elements like neckline, pattern, fabric, colour, pattern.

Online style and colour review is part of my every Online style and colour review is part of my every day. @davidlawrenceclothing have a very accessible collection atm and the colour coral is usually a very popular shade. It is a universal colour that suits most colour seasons as it’s not too cool or warm, too light or dark. And what I find, not too pink or red as they are both divisive shades that are not everyone’s cup of tea ☕️. 
Do you love the shade?

PEAR BODY SHAPE Your Pear shape is the body shape PEAR BODY SHAPE
Your Pear shape is the body shape category that the majority of women fall into. You are a Pear when your hips are 7.5cm+ wider than your bust and waist.
For the best looking outfit your focus needs to be on balancing your hip area with the upper body.
Accentuating your slimmer waist with the right size, length and style of top, jacket or dress will give your look the definition it deserves.
And don't forget I have a pretty awesome collection of belts in stock on my Style Angel website.
There are some gorgeous dresses out atm, many suited to a Pear shape. 
Some more blousy styles that is often stocked is one that many Pears do not suit, as soon as the waist is not shown it does not work so well.
Leave me a note on the Pinterest board what your favourite is.
