Reflect On Who You Are
As the rush and excitement of summer comes to a close, and fall quickly approaches, we take time to reflect on our lives and plan our goals for the rest of 2007. This reflection time includes looking at all aspects of your life and deciding what you want to change or improve. Your appearance greatly effects how you feel and your personal level of self confidence. For this reason, it is important to work through the process of renewal for fall.
Before making a change in your appearance, take some time to think about the person you want to project to world, the image that you want to model yourself after. If you are uncertain, pay more attention to the people around you. Take note of the attributes you see in others that appeal and are representative of yourself. We all see people that project images we are attracted to. They are all around us, from the office to the grocery store. Make a list of what you like and don’t like. This will help you get clear on the image you ultimately want to transform to.
Then apply the decisions you have made about how you want to present yourself through your wardrobe, hairstyle and makeup. From a wardrobe perspective, go through your closet and make note of new items that are needed to improve your image and keep you looking fresh and energized. Go shopping for these items then try on the new items with what you already own to maximize your wardrobe and maintain a realistic budget. Don’t forget to add accessories and shoes to complete the outfit.
From a hairstyle perspective speak to your stylist about ways to modernize and change up your current style so you don’t get stuck in a rut. Again, the goal here is to keep you looking beautiful and refreshed. The same applies for makeup. Go to your favorite makeup counter and ask what is coming in for fall, and how you can apply these looks in a way that best works for your complexion and personal style. Enjoy the process, feeling of accomplishing your goals, and looking fabulous for fall!
And…on your way out the door remember to look in the mirror, and smile at that gorgeous reflection looking back at you.
Best-
Andrea
