YOUR PERSONAL STYLE ASSESSMENT
PERSONAL BRAND = Simple, Elegant, Casual, Accessible, Distinguished, with an touch of fun/funkiness. BODY TYPE = Bigger on Bottom STYLE PERSONALITY = Modern Classic, Urban Sophisticate

BODY TYPE
More than 60% of the US population is bigger on bottom: where their hips are 4 inches or larger to their bust and waistline. A general rule for this body type, is that any clothing that makes the top half of the body look bigger will create balance to your lower half, and thereby creating a long and lean silhouette.
FIT GOALS Always highlight the smallest part of your waist Wear silhouettes that hug the your hip and leg line, and then hang straight to the ground For a tea length - have skirt hems hit just above mid-calf
STYLE DETAILS Boat or bardot necklines, and wide collars and lapels are great for creating the illusion of width on your torso Higher waisted pants with a straight or wide leg Minimize hip with darker, solid colors

SHOPPING FOR YOUR BODY TYPE
SHOPPING DO’S
SHOPPING DONT’S
Look for jackets and tops that finish either above or below the widest point of your hips and bottom (or have it tailored) Wear volume, pattern, color on your top half Make shoulders broader with shoulder pads, puffed sleeves, cap sleeves, etc.
Avoid hemlines (including single or double vents in jackets) that finishes at full points of your legs - aim for slightly lower. Avoid details, patterns, pockets on your thigh and hip area and belts on your hips.
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!

STYLE PERSONALITY
Work wear? Interesting neutrals are your go-to. This style‌ never goes out of style. Here are some tips for your modern, classic look: Add contrast with a dark separates and a light jacket, or vice versa. The neutral color block it creates is chic, yet striking. Go head-to-toe in one neutral color - gray, camel, or white - for sophisticated and elongating look. Remember to cinch the waist to avoid looking like a sack. Tired of leggings or skinny jeans? Swap them out for black joggers; it's the same comfort and formal enough for the business casual workplace.

STYLE PERSONALITY
Tailored, sophisticated, and puttogether are the names of your board room game. Here are some tips for your look: Purchase sheath dress with a graphic pattern for a new take a classic silhouette. Swap out your usual blazer with one with edgy details and a cropped length; it is refreshingly different yet still sophisticated. Seek out work tops with a wrap detail. With a high neckline, it's appropriate for board meetings while also cinching the smallest part of your waist.

STYLE PERSONALITY
You love lace - it's all about adding a structured or hard contrast to keep it from looking too sweet. Here are some tips for your romantic look: Pair your lace items with gladiator sandals or heels for an on-trend outfit that toes the line between sweet and edgy. Try eyelet lace patterns for as an alternative to lace. Toughen up a white lace dress with a tough jacket.

CLOSET TIPS!
A short list of 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?
