Style at Your Own Entourage™
 
Take this short quiz to see if you should consult with an image specialist:
  1. Do you know your body type and what will enhance/detract from certain parts?
    Yes No
  2. Do you buy clothes because they are on sale or a good price instead of a good style/fit for you?
    Yes No
  3. Has someone told you that you look fabulous in the last month?
    Yes No
  4. Do you know what colors look good on you and which you should avoid?
    Yes No
  5. Do you have a base wardrobe on which you build (translation: easy to coordinate)?
    Yes No
If your score is less than "3", then most likely you need some help in getting restyled and reacquainted with yourself and your image.

Give us a call and set up a consultation. We will help you go through your wardrobe and develop a new style plan as well as take you shopping and show you why to wear certain styles/colors and why to avoid others. If you know someone who could use a wardrobe consultant and a little nudge in a different direction with their look, we offer gift certificates.

Wardrobe Tip: Black is not a good color for many people even though we are programmed to use it as a fall back standard.

Corporate Image

Most companies spend a considerable amount of money creating their image through advertising and marketing. Signage, business cards, promotional items, print materials and websites are all given careful consideration and approval by the top level managers. However, most companies spend little to no money on their employees' appearances.

The three types of errors regarding the company dress code:
  1. The employer gives NO thought at all to the employees' appearances
  2. The employer figures they all get it and know what to wear and when
  3. The employer places a dress code in the employee manual and figures it will dictate the dress of the employees
If the employees do not know what image the company is portraying and are not given any direction and guidance that this is important to the entire company package, then the employer is leaving image up to the preconceived notions of people from a wide variety of backgrounds as to what is and is not appropriate for that environment.

Think this isn't such a big deal?

Look what happened the summer of '05 at the White House. The girl's lacrosse team was told to look nice for their visit to the White House. The girls took their ideas of what looked nice and several wore flip flops (albeit dressy ones) with their skirts and tops. No one commented on the inappropriateness of the spaghetti strap dresses with no cover up but the flip flops were all over the news. Did they do anything wrong? Arguably, they did what they were told. They "looked nice" by their definition of the term. However, others had a different idea of that concept. Had they been given some additional coaching on what was deemed appropriate, the situation and the media blitz would have been avoided. You certainly don't want this type of controversy for your company which clouds your real message (your product or service).
