I was watching Oprah the other day and they were doing makeovers on some very deserving women (just like all of you). At the end, the person in charge of their new look gave out his ten top list of essential items every woman must have in her wardrobe. A couple made perfect sense to me like a great pair of dark denim jeans, but the rest were just to generalised for my liking. One item in particular that he insisted every woman should have is a black turtleneck jumper, now I dont know about you but if I were to wear a black turtleneck, my face would look round and full and with black not being a good colour on me I would look tired and dull. Hence the difference between a stylist and an image consultant, a stylist is more likely to use items currently in fashion or easily accessible regardless of body type or colouring whereas an image consultant will analyse your best styles and colours and then work with current trends. We are about to be inundated with extremely bright colours for Spring/Summer which I for one will not look great in so I will stay current by using splashes of them in accessories. The moral of my story is that you need to be careful when watching and listening to styling advise on TV shows, everyone is different and more often than not the advise that is being dished out, if followed, will leave you looking like a fashion victim, a look we should try and avoid at all costs. So take the time to invest in yourself, find out whats works best for you.
