Hello {!firstname}

how will you update your wardrobe How will you update your wardrobe?

It's that time of year when I recommend reviewing your wardrobe. Even if you don't follow my wardrobe organization suggestions it really pays to review what you have to wear for upcoming activities and events. 

Take some time now planning your outfits for the next 3-6 months. Think of the types and events and activities you have, or might have, in that time frame and what you might wear to them. Identify what you need to add to your wardrobe to create those outfits and prioritize items to a shopping list. Gradually add the items on your list as your budget allows. This way you'll avoid the "I've got nothing to wear" moments!

I hope you'll find my trend update articles useful as you plan your wardrobe for the new season.

Of course if you'd like help with reviewing your wardrobe or shopping I'm always happy to help.

I've really been enjoying the small workshops I've been running. I learn a lot each time I run one. If you're here in Sydney and would like to learn more about dressing for your body type I'm running a small public workshop next month. Or get a few friends together and schedule a private workshop.

There are some exciting changes coming this year for the My Private Stylist online style program

If you'd like to order some custom shoes and don't live in Sydney, or don't have time for a party or a consultation, I can now offer free swatch samples for your custom Shoes of Prey shoes.

This post on my Facebook page generated some interest! I'm intending to post more (hopefully better quality) photos of some of my Autumn/Winter outfits over the coming weeks.

Enjoy this month's Style Snippets. Until next month, all the best

Jane

My Private Stylist Online Style Program: Start of the next generation

new look my private stylist online styles program New Look My Private Stylist Online Styles Program

This is the amazing online style program that gives you style recommendations that take all of your body proportions into account. It is the program I use with my clients.

Ann Reinten of Image Innovators (who was also my trainer and mentor when I started my business, almost 6 years ago) has always worked hard to keep this program up-to-date, both from an image and a technical perspective. The program has undergone many improvements since its original launch.

This year the program is set to evolve into an amazing style resource. Ann has a vision to turn it into a fully functional virtual styling room. This will include:
  • A style finder: the program currently identifies which style shapes and style elements suit you; however, it's up to you to assess the various elements within a garment to determine if that garment is suitable for you; the style finder will be able to assess whole garments -- this change alone will be a major leap forward, enabled by innovative technology changes
  • Shopping in your own private fashion mall
  • The ability to catalog your wardrobe and style garments into outfits
  • The ability to invite me, as your image consultant, into your virtual styling room to help you build your wardrobe and style your outfits

The first step, in the evolution, is to release the next version of the MyPrivateStylist program. It's due to be released by the end of next week. Changes will include:

  • A 'cleaner looking' design that is easier to use
  • Many new garment types
  • Updated garment and accessory images -- including the ability to switch between a work and non-work style
  • An improved body profile questionnaire (though our recommendation is to have a professional assessment via photos for an additional US$25).
  • Garment comments and style recommendations completely reviewed and overhauled to reflect current thinking

The good news is that if you have already purchased the program you will automatically gain access to the new look MyPrivateStylist. And amazingly Ann is not increasing the price. For the time being I can still offer it at a very reasonable US$89. I'm really looking forward to the new program!
