Did I ever feel like a princess yesterday. I had a wonderful time with Kelli from Soul Reflection. If anyone has ever toyed with the idea of hiring a consultant I say take the plunge! Think of it as an investment that will save you time and money because I will never shop the same again. I know what works for my body and how to dress it.
The things I learned:
- Even when I lose weight my body type will remain true. Whew! What a relief! FYI - I am an hourglass shape.
- The necklines that work best for me, where my sweaters and tops should end, where my jackets should fall.
- That I knew some of the styles that looked good on me, but needed the expertise from Kelli to fill in the missing pieces.
- I had clothes in my closet that I wasn't wearing, that I should be.
- The colours that work best for me.
The no brainer? - Almost all of my sweaters are too short, I am in desperate need of a pair of boots, belts, a blazer, pants/jeans, and better everyday shoes.
The coolest thing? - I am in love with Kelli's colour selection system. They look like painter chip fans that you can get at Benjamin Moore, except that all the colours are fabric swatches. It was amazing to see all of the colour possibilities which Kelli narrowed down by placing each one against my face. Once she had a smaller pile, she went through those selections again and kept only the very best. I ended up with about 15 colours that work for me. The best part?? I can custom order my own set of colour swatches that contain just the colours that Kelli selected. I saw the one Kelli has for herself and it's amazing! Imagine, you're out shopping and you see a top that you love. Is it the right colour for you? Well, pull out your colour swatches and see if it matches. Can you see the possibilities?? Never buying the wrong coloured clothes again! Whoo hoo!
I am ordering one. They are an extra cost but I'm thinking of the money I'll save by not buying the wrong thing. I also see a shopping trip in my future and I look forward to working with Kelli again.
Part two of my princess day was my appointment at Coca Blitz. Thank goodness for Julie-Ann the owner. She sat me down, had a look at my hair and said, "That hair colour is doing you no favours, it's pretty mousy." I love honest professionals! So I splurged for a soy based colour that will gently rinse out of my hair and not leave roots. If you have naturally curly hair you have got to go to Julie-Ann. She knows what she is doing and I finally have a new hair stylist! 403-264-2111.
So, this was me on Monday.
This is me today!
What do you think? Mission accomplished?
