UNDERSTAND BODY SHAPES AND HOW TO DRESS FOR CONFIDENCE
Understanding our body shape is crucial if we want to feel more confident with what we wear. Apart from the shape and the proportions of our body though, it is absolutely important to consider how to dress all the individual parts of your body, rather than the entire body all at once. One of the first things I do with clients is to determine their features, so if they are angular or curvy, some people might have a mix and so be interjacent. So how do you know which one you are? I share my advice in this article.
DRESSING FOR SUCCESS WITH CONFIDENCE
When we go into the world of work, parenting, career moves, or want to feel more professional and confident, it can be a bit challenging.
I don't know about you, but when I feel my clothing shows my professionalism and personality, my confidence prepares me for a more successful day.
So, if you want to dress for a meeting, a new job, or simply to feel a little more powerful & confident in your outfits, here are my tips!

MY LINGERIE FIT EXPERIENCE
When we think about personal styling we immediately think of what we wear outside, but underwear, especially for women, is actually a very important part of personal style.
What we wear outside, and the way we wear it, is definitely connected to our lingerie: from what makes us feel comfortable, to the right shape and size (both for our bra and pants), to the right style to wear with some specific clothes, the research of the right underwear is all but easy, regardless of our body shape and size.
And, just like for clothing, there is a personality component too, that affects our choices.
There are indeed specific rules about fit, alongside many different styles and shapes, and they all effect not just our comfort, but also our confidence and appearance.
In this article I talk about my own personal experience with lingerie stylist Monica Harringdon.

One big struggle for many of my clients is knitwear and layering: it's easy to dress up in summer, with a dress and a jacket to feel sexy, cool, and confident. But in winter, when it's cold and you need to wear layers, it gets a little difficult.
