After having to postpone it the last time I finally had my session this morning! It was great! To anyone who is contemplating to do something like that - go for it!

the session lasted 2 hours.

We started by determining my style personality through a questionnaire. The lady then showed me a few scrapbooks with fashion clippings, each one standing for a particular style personality. My favourites almost matched with the results of my questionnaire:

My personality is feminine-romantic, aspiring to city chick but, particularly in my spare time, is actually more often natural (which I `d like to change as it makes me feel frumpy). Her advice to me was to bear in mind feminine-romantic city-chick when I next go shopping, and I got a few tipps on how to adapt my spare time wardrobe to reflect this.

We then looked at my body shape and spent the rest of the time going through the clothes I brought, discussing what works for me and why and what does not work for me.

That bit was lovely. She asked me what I thoguht I was and showed me a few photos. I thought I knew the right answer: “I was an apple and now, I`m a pear!” - “No, I think you are a neat hourglass, maybe somewhere between a neat hourglass and a round hourglass! You are the shape which most women aspire to and not difficult to dress at all!” That was soo nice to hear!

At the end I got a book with tipps, and there is this section “What to distract from”. 6 months ago, this would have been my belly and thunder thighs and muffin top and puffy face. All she wrote was “height”. Because I`m short. That`s something I cannot influence, of course, and it`s something which rarely bothers me, either.

That was so sweet! I cannot describe that feeling! I`ve had body issues for so ling and that was a professional image consultant telling me that there is nothing wrong with me, apart from the fact that I`m a little on the short side! That alone was worth the price for the session!

But I got loads of other things out of it, too, which I have started to action: I made a list of clothes I want to buy and have taken to the loft some things which do not work for me currently. These were mainly things I never really felt comfortable in anyway. And the confidence I feel when I`m wearing ne of those things which she said are flattering, is priceless!
