Description
Feeling totally lost and confused as to what clothes to invest in, what outfits to curate, and what style to develop?
In this two phase session, I guide you towards figuring out how you’d like to communicate through your own personal style that is unique to you. Many other stylists, especially body-type consultants, give you a standardized and outdated template on your “body type” without ever explaining their reasoning or providing useful modern day examples. I do the opposite and take the time to personalize everything to YOU. I do not use a template approach to style and your board will be highly customized to you.
As a client, my main priority is EDUCATION. You will gain a much deeper understanding and clearer perspective of your body and beauty, as well as a new way of approaching clothing.
Phase 1: Establishing Your Lines and Silhouettes
Your job:
Send me the following photos that showcase your natural body line and facial beauty:
- Neutral face, no makeup, hair pulled back, straight ahead.
- Neutral face, no makeup, hair down, straight ahead.
- Authentic smile, hair pulled back, straight ahead.
- Full body shot in bikini/swimsuit/leotard, straight ahead, feet hip’s width apart, arms hanging at sides (no angling the body or bending the limbs.)
- Full body shot in bikini/swimsuit/leotard from the side.
- 3-5 photos of you in outfits you wear most often, ideally with hair and makeup you wear most often.
- 3-5 photos of you in outfits you think are more special, with hair and makeup that is more special to you (think of how you adorn yourself when trying to look your best or dress up for fancy occasions or dates you are excited about).
- A candid shot
- Height and weight
- Optional: Bust-Waist-Hip measurement
- Optional, but very good to have: a video of you walking casually or moving, full body. A natural video, nothing too staged. This is to get a moving sense of your proportions.
- My job:
I analyze your lines and give you recommendations on the kinds of fabrics, silhouettes, and tailoring that really brings out your natural figure and celebrates the body and face that you are blessed with!
You will receive an initial mood board with over 40 images tailored to your unique beauty and aesthetic. I include modern styles that will work for your frame and aesthetic.
You will also receive a highly detailed review of your outfits (up to 8) that includes a breakdown of the line, silhouette, color, fabric, and overall interaction between you and the garments. Where applicable, I will also include recommendations on improving the outfit.
Phase 2: Outfit Selection
Per your selection, I will create 3 different outfits in a collage. You will receive a range of garments, shoes, and accessories along with detailed tips on mixing, matching, combining, and styling. Each outfit collage contains alternative pieces/selections so that you will better understand how to style the outfit for your needs and desires.
Please note that this is NOT a personal shopping service. I cannot accommodate sizing, budget, and availability. The outfit collages are intended to give you ideas for dressing in a certain scenario (situation, level of formality, season/weather, emotional state, goals/desires, etc).
Please e-mail Phase 1 photos to thealignedlover@gmail.com for approval before purchasing. Usual feedback delivery from each session is returned within 7-10 days (I will confirm with you with any updates on this time frame before each phase).
