Half the problem with getting somewhere is to first know where you want to go. I know that this sounds trite but it really is as simple as knowing where you want to go. Many days the phone calls and emails I receive are full of angst and frustration over what to wear to events or just the condition of a closet because of change-any change birthday, vacation or just a change in the season.

I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t like to look their very best everyday. The challenge is to know where you are going and how to get there! I suppose that is why Style Camp has been so successful. It gets you “in the know”. It helps you learn how to create your own style. Do you want to learn how to create your own style? Uncover these 10 steps and you will be on your way to being “in the know”:

1. Know your shape
2. Know your proportion
3. Know your style personality
4. Know your color
5. Know the trends
6. Know your budget
7. Know your closet (what do you need to round it out)
8. Know a good tailor (remember to alter to fit)
9. Know where you are going (dress for the occasion)
10. Know a good hairstylist

It takes a systematic approach to gathering these knowledge tools to make you look successful everyday. Although it is not difficult, you shouldn’t expect it to be an overnight process. By looking at your image in an objective way you will take the emotion and self doubt away and learn how much fun it can be to “look good, feel great, and have fun doing it”!
