A NEW - A NEW YOU

Renew your confidence and self esteem with a look at your wardrobe

The sales are coming to an end and new season's clothes are appearing in the shops.

This is a great time to look at our image and our wardrobes to make sure we have the best selection of mix and match and dress up and down outfits for every occasion.

For business it is important to dress for the job you want.

Having the right shape outfits in colours that suit us gives us renewed confidence and boosts our self esteem.

I took Carol out for a wardrobe update and in 3 hours show bought 15 pieces and with these new clothes alone she can make 55 different outfits. Carol already has a pair of knee high boots and a selection of heeled and low shoes to change the look for different occasions.

TIPS for SHOPPING in the SALES

Here are my tips following my chat with Danny Pike on BBC Sussex on Monday 22nd December

A purchase is only a bargain if it fits in with the rest of your wardrobe, suits you and you can afford it. Buying odd pieces because they are on sale will just sit in your wardrobe and never be worn.

Before you go shopping know what you have in your wardrobe and know the areas you need to add to.

Look for good classic staple items i.e. a black suit, cashmere jumper, wool cardigan/jacket, white blouse.

Update your existing wardrobe with shoes, belts, scarves and jewellery.

Check out the returns policy on sale goods if you are unsure when buying something.

DONT impulse buy.

DONT buy anything you need to slim to wear.

DONT buy anything without trying in on first.

Outfits MUST flatter your colour and shape. Dont go for fashion garments for the sake of fashion.

Have fun and bag a bargain.

Help with post baby wardrobe

Your beautiful new baby has arrived

Everything is in chaos                                             

No time to think about yourself

Chuck on the same old jeans and suitable baby feeding top

Been invited out! PANIC what to wear

Can’t fit into anything in your wardrobe

Feel a mess, lost your self esteem

HELP -HELP     Does this sound familiar?

Relax, stop and take a minute and lets think about your Colour, Style and Shape.

The good news is that the COLOURS that have always suited you will still do so and your STYLE will be the same.  It is likely that your SHAPE has changed for the time being and your LIFESTYLE and the requirements of your wardrobe are very different.

Look through your wardrobe and see what does fit you and – do you still like it and if yes put to one side.  Now, to bring these main pieces together you will now be able to have a clearer idea of what to buy in the shops.  Obviously with possibly more weight round your bust, tummy and thighs you will be looking for a larger size and soft material which moves with you rather something snug and clingy.  Keep to block dark colour on your bottom half and wear layers, small prints and designs on your top half to create a taller, leaner silhoutte.  You will feel better just going out and updating your wardrobe with something in this season’s colour and design.

I offer a personal shopping service tailored to Mums with babies and small children so please go to my website for further information - www.janebusby.co.uk or ring me NOW on 07860 136455 and mention this blog.
