What's your style?

What comes to mind when you think of the word "style"?

Does style mean a fashion trend or is it more of a personal issue...like wearing what you feel confident and authentic in? ...or perhaps it means both to you?

Definition of Style:  

A distinctive appearance, typically determined by the principles according to which something is designed. (Oxford Dictionary)

Notice how the definition of style starts off with "a distinctive appearance." This refers to you. Style is personal.  Fashion on the other hand is trendy.

"Fashion changes, but style endures.”

Coco Chanel

What's your style?

Do you ever ask yourself the following questions?

  • What style of dress should I wear to my daughter or son’s wedding?
  • Do I look coordinated?
  • What are the best accessories to wear with this outfit?
  • Am I dressing correctly for my body shape?
  • Am I truly expressing myself with what I’m wearing?
  • Can I really wear the ever-so-popular leggings?

If you'd like help to answer these questions you’ve come to the right place! Consulting with a Style Coach can make a big difference with your confident and personal Style.

Perhaps you’ve heard someone say…..“This woman has style!” Most likely, that woman has had some sort of image and style coaching.

There are many facets of putting together your style. The things we’ll look at together when determining your style are as follows:

  • the line in your face and body
  • your body’s basic shape* or silhouette
  • your body’s natural colour as seen in your skin, hair and eyes
  • your bone structure and facial features
  • your face shape
  • your Somatotype
  • the best textures for your body
  • your personality style

Somatotype

The term Somatotype is the most recognizable term to describe your body type and build. Somatotype is determined by your bone structure and fat deposits and is described as three basic body types.    

They are as follows:

  • Ectomorph – straight, angular, lean, skeletal
  • Mesomorph – average size, shows muscle tone easily
  • Endomorph – full body, prone to fat deposits

Somatotype can change depending on your diet and exercise!

 -   Shawn Ashmore

  • Romantic
  • Creative

BALANCED

  • Classic
  • Natural

YANG
(harder, male-energy)

For instance you could be a Classic, Romantic personality type.  That's when you can blend the two styles into your wardrobe.  

For example, a tailored monochromatic jacket and pant, and adding a ruffled V-neck blouse and perhaps crystal-embellished eye-wear.

Once we establish your personality style,  all the information collected during your appointment is assembled together into a personal portfolio that will provide you with pictures and style information that'll assist you in putting your wardrobe together …..TAILORED JUST FOR YOU!

Style and Body Image

What is Body Image?

Body image is described as the subjective picture or mental image of one's own body and the reaction of others.

The media and the advertising industry have set an unrealistic standard of beauty that most women can’t ever achieve. Only about eight women on the planet look like supermodels - models in magazines are airbrushed. 

According to a publication in the  Journal of Eating Disorders it was stated that while "fat talk" tended to decrease with age, “old talk” was the term used by women who appeared to have a negative body image.

Most women have struggled with body image at some point over the course of their lives.

Working with your style on a personal level can help build your confidence so you can appreciate your body and be thankful for all the good parts ...and we all have parts that we love!

Let's work together to enhance all of your positive features and hide the other ones!
