CLAUDIA’S SERVICES
Why should I use styling services?
Do you have things in your closet and wardrobe that you rarely wear? There are many reasons our closets need curating. A Closet Curation by Claudia can set you on the road to creating stylish outfits for every situation and event in an effortless way. A Curated Closet can save you time, money, and worry. This is an investment in your appearance and helps you make the best use of the items you own with recommendations on additions to your wardrobe as time goes forward. The same applies for having professional and expertise styling services to help you create your best look for events, outings, celebrations, and of course, an everyday or workweek wardrobe.
Are clothes and outfits really that important?
If you are like most people, you wear about 20% of your clothes 80% of the time! That’s a lot of closet space and money spent on clothes which live only on the hanger.
Even before you have a chance to speak, a first impression is made. This impression is based on your appearance alone. Your clothing and style make the first – and a lasting – impression. It’s so permanent that 93% of the first impression is based on appearance. That leaves only 3% for nonverbal cues and what you actually say. It’s not right; it is reality.
Cut and Fit
When you consider the impact of your clothing, it is important to first look at the cut and fit. This may be why many items in your closet go unworn. They just don’t fit or are no longer flattering. Poorly fitting clothes can give the wrong impression of a person. Others may wrongly assume that you don’t care or are not giving the event/meeting/person enough respect.
Color
The color of your clothes is just as important. When you wear the colors and shades which complement your skin tone, you can look 5-10 years younger! A poor choice of color can make you look older. Learning which colors are best for you helps you have a functional wardrobe with most pieces easily combined with many other pieces.
There are many economic and emotional benefits from hiring Claudia as your image consultant and personal style guru. The benefits begin with a full Closet Curation.
Benefits of a Closet Curation
• Claudia will teach you about cut, fit, style, and colors which serve you well.
• You can avoid making “mistakes” which result in items just living on your hangers.
• Claudia will help you make the most of your purchases by combining items for many different outfits and events.
• You will have a better Return on Investment, wearing pieces more often.
• Claudia will help you make your best first impression.
• Best of all, you will feel better by looking better.
How to know when you need a Closet Consultation
There are many signs when a Closet Curation is needed. Even if you have done this in the past, times change, bodies shift, climates and personal lifestyles change, and appropriate items and looks for your age and this new century need a modern touch and feel. You may need a Closet Consultation if:
- You are waiting to reach a goal weight
- There are more than 2 sizes of clothing in your wardrobe
- An item does not “go” with anything else you own
- You don’t know how to pair a specific item(s) with others in your closet
- You don’t remember what you have in your closet
- When you shop, you can’t remember what you own and often come home with duplicate/similar items
- You can’t find something to pair with what you already own when you shop so you buy something specifically for that one item/outfit/even that you never wear again
- You don’t have enough clothes to suit your professional, social, or lifestyle needs
- You are wearing a trend you wore in the past
- You don’t have modern versions of “classics” in your closet
- You have changed your workplace
- You are transitioning from school ® to work, or home ® to workforce
- You have changed your lifestyle (you might have recently married, divorced, retired)
