Two of our readers enjoyed style makeovers from professional image consultants. Here’s how they described the experience of having an image overhaul.
Joy Kingan met with Eve Roth, image consultant at Savvy Style (www.savvystyle.com, 2522-2592) where she was given The Works, an all-encompassing session on colour, style, hair and makeup.
It was a very enjoyable and informative morning. I really liked Eve’s enthusiasm and her wealth of knowledge and experience. It helped me to see fashion, appearance and image in a way I hadn’t thought of before. I now know that with advance knowledge and organizing (she’s big into being organized and has a lot of practical tips), managing your image becomes something you can slip in to your busy life. So boosting your image and maintaining it becomes manageable. Now that I have the theory and practical tools, I can do a better job of looking after myself and make less fashion mistakes.
I really learned a lot about myself during the consultation. I learned about my style, what I like and feel comfortable in, and who I aspire to be, style-wise. This is quite a big thing for me because I have always deliberately avoided being style conscious. But my attitude towards personal style and image is evolving and I learned that I have good instincts, but could do a much better job if I just gave it a bit more effort. Eve advised me that I aspire to casual elegance and have a bit of a creative streak, which I thought was right on. I now know I shouldn’t wear black, and my full colour range is for softer and cooler shades. I have all my swatches and can make better choices now.
I will now be keeping a notebook of items to complete my outfits. I hate shopping and end up wandering aimlessly. Now, I will only go shopping when I need something and will be able to make much more use out of purchases because I will have planned what they will be for.
I feel a lot more motivated now. For anyone who feels they need or want to make changes this is a great way to go about it. I think you need to be ready for the process and be in the right frame of mind to make the best of it. Like I said, I was stubbornly anti-fashion for a while, but my views have changed. Personal style isn’t about following the latest trends, it’s much more than that and I’m starting to think about this now.
It was all a good experience and I especially enjoyed the chatting, and having my colours done with the fabric swatches. She also did a nice job of my make-up, which is something I’m hopeless at. She provided a complete rundown of steps on how to do it yourself.
I now have a better knowledge of how to achieve a more put-together look and I have also spent time thinking about why this is important to me. I am paying more attention to my image and I also have more respect for people who make an effort which I used to think was strictly a surface thing. My attitude is evolving and I know now image goes much deeper than your surface appearance.
