When it comes to your image, personality plays a huge role. For most people however their inner and outer style personalities do not match up. For most people their outer style personality i.e what we wear and how we are percieved takes on a functional  role and conforms to those around us and the everyday situations we find ourselves in. Style personality can fall into many categories, is it classic, feminine, dramatic, natural, elegant, sexy or creative ?

For example most women who have kids find themselves dressing down because they feel uncomfotable doing the school pickup and "standing out" in something other than a tracksuit or the staple of jeans and a black top. But when you ask these women about how they feel about their style, they feel boring and drab. You know, when you hear the term "age appropriate" you usually think of someone older dressing too young but it does also apply  to someone younger dressing too old. Many people in their thirties and forties who categorise themselves as a "school mum" have lost sight of their inner style personailty and that is the reason why the majority of these gorgeous women feel drab, tired, and somewhat miserable, they have fallen into a rut. When you are not being true to your inner self there is really no other possible outcome.

Now having said all that your inner style personality might fall into a category that is really not appropraite for your everyday situation. You may be a "school mum" whos sexy inner style personality is screaming to get out but wearing a so called sexy outfit to pick up the kids might raise a few eyebrows, so as much as I am an advocate for dressing for yourself and no one else, I am also an advocate of appropraite dressing. So heres what I recommend, in a situation like that you can add touches that make you feel sexy while staying "appropriate". Buy yourself a beautiful perfume to wear everyday, dont just reserve it for special occassions, paint your toe nails in a gorgeous bright colour that you would be to scared to buy clothes in. Try and find some underwear that you feel comfortable in but also makes you feels sexy and wear it everyday not just on special occassions.

Have a think about your true inner style personality and who is screaming to get out. If you dont feel comfortable totally over hauling your outer style personality to match your inner one, please try and let a bit of it out. You will feel so much better, trust m

Some people may think the cost of having a style or colour consultation is out of their reach, but think about this, you will generally only do it once. When you look in your wardrobe and are faced with all the mistakes you have made, add up the cost of that. I can guarantee you it will by far out weigh the cost of hiring an image consultant. Once you know what styles and colours suit you, you will look and feel fantastic and will no longer make expensive mistakes. Before you go shopping for Spring/Summer and you make anymore mistakes come and see me.
