I am absolutely exhausted and excited after my styling session today. She was just great - since I can't play with Angie from the other side of the world. I am sure I will have to spend a few days to go over everything but in a nutshell...
Overall I am on track and it was really useful providing her with my style insights/images and she brought some appropriate accessories/brochures from stores she sussed out before we met.
The BIG insight and I suspect the heart of why I "have nothing to wear" is the FIT of my clothes. I guess my body has changed somewhat over time and I have been holding on to same old styles of things. She went through all my stuff and showed me how and why some things worked and some didn't. She identified which pieces I need to double up on - same as Angie suggests! We then shopped at a store I had not been to before where she had some things on hold in my size to try. While I came home with a new black tshirt, blue tshirt etc - they sit JUST RIGHT.
We well and truly used our time and she has identified some additional pieces that work with my wardrobe with the girls at a store I really like.
I already feel like I am going to have HEAPS of things to wear for lots of different occassions once I sort through my better pieces I already have and mix them in with the new pieces.
I will post some WIW's when I get sorted. The key theme is monochromatic pieces that fit, in blacks, blues, greys, white. Plain flattish shoes that I can wear. Then some sets of fantastic accessories and a few jackets in a number of colours including some new colours etc I have not had before.
It was money worth spent in consideration already!
