Day 40 - Are you feeling FABULOUS???

So, 40 days in, how are you feeling?
Where are you now on that priority list???
Right at the top I hope, because that's where you deserve to be......
Has being fabulous become your new hobby? 

At Style Me Confident we say that styling is like a hobby - to get better at it you have to learn, take lessons, be shown how to do it.....so why not learn more about the styling that's perfect for you? After all, you've just spent 40 days learning how fabulous you are, now it's time to dress the outside to match the fabulousness that you've discovered within....

If you're ready to discover your outer fabulousness, click here........I promise you, it will change your life.......it did for me........

Day 38 - What's In The Box?

Or more precisely, what's in your wardrobe???

The chances are if you opened your wardrobe now, (unless you've already been "Gay'd") there will be clothes that are too big, too small, items worn once or not at all, things you wore for specific occasions (my wedding dress is in my wardrobe - I last wore it 18 years ago!), stuff that is definitely looking tired,an awful lot of "black" and a few items that you wear all the time......

Am I right????



Then your wardrobe is definitely in need of a "wardrobe workout".

As with any workout, we can take you wardrobe from bulging, tired and unfit (for purpose) to lean, full of energy and ready for anything ( and any occasion!)

And if you're debating whether your wardrobe needs a workout, if you just fill in our wardrobe workout chart and see how much money you are wasting by NOT buying clothes in the right colours and styles for YOU, it might help you to decide......

Day 39 - Clothes Shopping - Love it or Loathe it?

26% of women hate shopping! especially clothes shopping. Are you one of them?

Why????

Because you don't know where to shop for you.....
Because the shops all have the same stuff.....
Because you can never find what you want, so you end up buying the same things in the same shops in the same colours.....
Because you don't know what styles and colours will take you from "ok" to "outstanding".....

Or is it all of the above???

So when you get an invite to a "do" - wedding, graduation, the races, a summer ball, posh work do - your heart sinks, knowing that you've got to go "dress shopping".
Well stress no more - your Fairy Frockmother is on hand to help you choose that perfect outfit (it doesn't have to be a dress!) for any occasion, be it posh do, workwear and especially your everyday wear.

Day 37 - What Colour Are You?

When I scrolled through my Facebook pages last night, I was amazed by how many times I was asked "what Wizard of Oz character are you?" or " what Muppet character are you?"  or similar.  

Well I've got one for you......."what body shape are you and what colours are perfect for you?". 

You won't find the answer on Buzzfeed, but you will if you come and see us at Style Me Confident and as you can with all the other quizzes, feel free to share the answers on Facebook!

P.S.  No matter what the answers are, you're FABULOUS!!!!!

Day 31 Again ( I missed out day 25 but no-one noticed!) - Marathon Madness

Sunday sees the Brighton Marathon - hundreds of dedicated souls running 26.2miles, many running for charity. There will be some veteran runners and some first-timers. Whoever they are, they have my utmost respect. I couldn't do it! 
Among them will be Martin Denholm, Mark Munns, Patrick Bartholemew and Coral Avis, using it as a warm up to Run To Remember 2014 - 13 days of marathons, with the lads running from London to Denholm in Scotland and Coral and Heather Robertson cycling with them, all in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.  
If you're going down to Brighton to cheer anyone on, don't forget your layers.....it will either be hot, cold, windy or rainy - or all 4!!!! natural fabrics - cotton, linen, silk - will work well for you and a waterproof will keep you dry and double up as a layer to sit on while you're waiting

Have fun and don't forget to sponsor someone!

Have you ever wanted to be just a bit different to everyone else?

To do something that someone has told you you can't or shouldn't do?
Go on, be a rebel.....
This season, spots and stripes are IN and guess what? I'm going to wear them together!
What will you rebel with?????

Day 23 - I am......

Remember the other day we talked about looking in the mirror and "seeing" our own beauty?  Today we're using the mirror again.
Find a mirror and look into it.
Now say "I am.....(and add something lovely about you)"
Do this 3 times.....
It's hard, isnt it?
When we learn to love ourselves, we can face anything.

So what ever you have to do today, grab that favourite outfit that you feel fabulous in and go do it!

Oh, and if anyone can see you're beauty, take Miss Piggy's advice.......
