Do you have that one outfit in your closet that always makes you feel beautiful even if you don’t feel 100% that day? Whenever you wear it, do you get tons of compliments? You want a closet full of these clothes but don’t know how to replicate it?
If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place.
This blog is all about a journey to help you find clothes and accessories that enhance your body.
I believe all women are beautiful and should be remembered. Each of us has a unique beauty. Everyone of us can dress impeccably. In fact, I believe all women should dress impeccably because we all have a unique gift we need to share with the world and it’s our duty to share it. Why? Because when you share your unique gift you cast out a ripple that changes the world for the better.
Dress Impeccably
Why is it so hard for more of us dress impeccably? There are three main problems;
- Current fashion trends don’t always look good on all bodies
- Current fashion trends don’t always reflect who we are.
- Clothes that the ready to wear market creates for sell doesn’t fit all bodies.
In this blog you will find out why designers design the way they do and why the ready to wear market doesn’t create clothes that fit your body.
I’m right there with you; most fashion trends don’t look good on my body or fit my personality and most ready to wear clothes don’t fit my body. I know how frustrating it is. I solved a lot of these problems by creating most of my clothes because I can alter the patterns to fit my body and personality. Not everyone sews their clothes like I do, so what is a woman to do?
Five Body Element System
Over the years I created a Five Body Element System which will help you figure out what clothes and accessories will enhance your body. By understanding your body elements and the clues they are telling you, you will be able to determine if a top, a pair of pants, dress or accessory will enhance your body by looking it’s:
- Silhouette
- Design lines
- Color and Color combination
- Scale of print or accessory
Once you understand your body elements and the clues they give you, you will know if you can alter ready to wear clothes so the silhouette and design lines will enhance your body. Most people will need to make minor adjustments to ready to wear clothes because the ready to wear market provides clothes for a narrow group of people.
This Blog
My goal with this blog is to create a community of people who want to dress impeccably. By reading comments, questions and shared experiences; and making your own comments, asking questions and sharing experiences you will get a better understanding what your body elements are telling you. But more importantly, you can inspire others to understand what their body elements are telling them.
This blog isn’t just about understanding your body elements and the clues that give you or what clothes and accessories to wear or not wear. It’s really about a journey you take when you start wearing the clothes and accessories that enhance who you are; not only on the outside but also on the inside. You see I have found that somehow when what you wear on the outside matches who you are on the inside, you are more able to easily show up in the world so you’re able to share your gifts.
I look forward to getting to know you better through your comments, questions and sharing your experiences.
Share with us that one outfit you love to wear. Describe it and how it makes you feel when you wear it.
I’m very lucky that I do have many clothes I love to wear. However when I’m feeling down or just not 100% I put on a suit jacket. I discovered a long time ago I would get a lot of compliments about how great I looked even though I didn’t feel that way. So whenever I’m not feeling 100% I put on a suit jacket. This is a picture of one of them.
Wear Your Greatness!!
