Eat before you unleash your inner Personal Stylist

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.
