Many of my female clients initially tell me and often through tears, how they feel they have lost their body shape, their hair has changed, and their skin is now different. In summary saying that they feel invisible, not attractive anymore, still want to look good but fear that it’s almost too late.
Sadly, as a culture we are not encouraged to feel attractive as we mature, especially as we are constantly shown that it’s young celebrities who receive the attention. This is not helpful now that many women will have to work well into their sixties, it makes the period a long time to appear invisible. Some may have been made redundant and are attending interviews for the first time in years. Others are going into business and will need to have impact.
It's changing times and it breaks my heart to see my clients so upset. I do understand their issues but with a little work I know that it's possible to look and feel attractive again as I've been through this journey myself. Attached are my before and after photographs showing how my style evolved, enabling me to become visible again. I had gone through a divorce and lost sight of who I was, I felt fat and frumpy. Understanding the situation my sister in law suggested that I see a wonderful Stylist she knew. I soon booked in and the Stylist explained how I could dress to suit my colouring and shape which then totally renewed my style. Having been through this process myself I wanted to help other women to do the same. Listening to my clients with empathy, I gently dry up their tears and take them through their transformation.
To begin with I’ll demonstrate the thirty colours to best suit a client’s colouring, the colours that will make her look vibrant and in focus. Once we have discovered the colours for her skin tone, along with clothes we can discuss make-up shades and accessories. Knowing how to combine these colours as outfits gives a harmonious appearance along with visibility which is so important on-line.
Next, we'll find the best shapes for clothes as wearing the right styles flatters a figure and draws the eye to the positives. In addition, modern glasses and accessories make an outfit more interesting and give an up-to-date look.
Wearing her best colours and styles, a client suddenly sees herself differently just like on those make-over programmes. A new lease of life emerges along with a newfound confidence. Feeling unattractive is not an issue anymore as she has become the best version of herself.
As Charles Hix states ‘Looking good isn’t self-importance, it’s self-respect. Respecting ourselves enough to look good gives self-confidence which in turn makes us more visible.
It is never too late if you would you like to look fabulous and be visible again!
