YOUR PERSONAL STYLE ASSESSMENT
PERSONAL BRAND = Classic, Put-together, Cool BODY TYPE = Proportionate STYLE PERSONALITY = Modern, Classic

BODY TYPE
Less than 10% of the US population possesses what we call the hourglass shape: one where the widest part of your bust is within 1”-2” of the widest part of your hips…. So good for you! If you have this shape, the goal is to follow the lines of your body without overemphasizing them.
FIT GOALS Always highlight the smallest part of your waist Wear silhouettes and fabric that follow the lines of your body Minimize hip and bust with design details
STYLE DETAILS Belted waistlines and clothing the nips at the waist, such as wrapped tops & dresses or side ruching Single button at the waist Flat front pants

SHOPPING FOR YOUR BODY TYPE
SHOPPING DO’S Lucky for you, almost any style top and dress will work your body type Look for wraps, waistcoats, layering and crossover details that will highlight your natural shape and waist Jackets in fitted shapes with waist definition work best to highlight your body, but other styles are fine as well
SHOPPING DONT’S Avoid any styles and shapes that hide your natural body shape Anything that will add extra volume to your waistline, such as thick or bulky waistbands
SHOPPING RULES Rule of 3: can you wear it with at least 3 items in your closet? For 3 different kinds of occasions? Try. It. On. Hanger appeal is not a great judge of how it will look on your body. If you’re on the fence, take it to the fitting room!

The simpler the better in your case. This style‌ never goes out of style. Here are some tips for your modern, classic look: Break away from the herd in a classically tailored - but different wide leg silhouette Invest in timeless pieces such staples like cashmere sweaters, and use it as a base to experiment with bolder colors and unique patterns and fabrics Add some sex appeal to your classic wardrobe with a statement shoe such as an over the knee boot

STYLE PERSONALITY
Tailored, sophisticated, and puttogether are the names of your fashion game. Here are some tips for your look: Invest in a well-tailored, high quality 2piece suit, and the pieces worn with other items in your closet. Swap out the pants for leather for a trendy look. Purchase a trench dress in a bright color, it will double as a jacket and it's an updated take on a classic Swap out your staid pencil skirt with a patterned one, it is refreshingly different yet sophisticated.

CLOSET TIPS!
A short list of some of best tips on how to turn your closet into a treasure trove of outfits: Flip all of your hangers to face the same direction. Every time you wear an item, put it back into your closet with the hanger hook facing the other direction so you know you've worn it. In 3 months you'll have a better of idea of what is simply decoration in your closet and in 6 months, you will know with certainty what to donate, consign, or trash. Pair one of your "go-to" piece with something new. You know that dress you're wearing every other / every week? Maybe it's time to give it a rest and your colleagues (or significant others) some excitement. Layer a button down under that dress, or put a cardigan or jacket on top and cinch it with a printed belt. Remember: if you buy a piece you can't wear with at least 3 items in your closet, you're not just paying for that skirt, you're paying for the top, jacket, shoes, and jewelry to go with that dress. Hang your jewelry next to your closet. We often have clients that tell us they need help accessorizing, yet we see jewelry boxes but no jewelry. If you don't see it, you won't wear it. Lastly, write down what your personal goals are. If you want to be "Classic, Sophisticated, and Chic," write that on a post it and put it next to your full length mirror. Does the reflection reflect how you want to be perceived?
