Feel Fabulous – Forget About the Size!
We hear so much about clothing size and the “ideal” look; it can be rather discouraging. The media tells us about what is acceptable in Hollywood, and how a size 6 is considered too big (that’s not even close to the average American woman’s size). Many clothing chains use vanity sizi...
Laura - that you for your comments. You friend can also alter her clothing as, or if her weight changes. I did this after the birth of my son. The amazing thing is - dressing appropriate helps you feel better - this can keep one motivated to get healthier (if that is their goal). It's not uncommon that people "punish" themselves by not investing in their grooming (if they are not happy with their size). This feeds the cycle of feeling bad about one's self; doing the opposite of this, investing in feeling better, and accepting where one is at makes it much easier to reach those goals.

A Wardrobe, Spring Cleaning and Why it Matters...
On a Spring day, a client called me and said she wanted me to evaluate her wardrobe and help organize her closet. I had worked with her several times before, but never for this type of service. I was happy that she was willing to trust me with the job; I consider wardrobe evaluations to be a f...

A Wardrobe, Spring Cleaning and Why it Matters...
We pulled out her “unworn” items and mixed and matched pieces in a way that harmonized with her personality. I showed her how to incorporate the new items with older staple pieces that still kept her look “fresh.” Continue reading

What's in a Personal Image?
We hear about the wars between what is not beautiful and what is beautiful. We are inundated with the debates “what is a healthy image.” We live with mass glorification and indoctrination of images on television, movies, music videos, magazines, and all other forms of commercial media. This can create... Continue reading
