WHY THIS BECAME PERSONAL FOR ME

Interestingly enough, I didn’t get into color analysis and image consulting because I was trying to start another business.

I needed it for myself.

I do a fair amount of public speaking, teaching, and interpreting, and I’m also a Funeral Director by trade.

There were days when I would leave home and just know:

Girl, you got it today. / Everything worked.

I felt good. / I felt comfortable. / I felt confident.

I wasn’t thinking about my clothes. I wasn’t tugging at anything. I wasn’t second-guessing myself. I could forget about what I was wearing and concentrate on what I had come there to do.

But then there were those other days.

Nothing was necessarily terrible. / I just knew something was off.

And once I knew it was off, I was conscious of it all day.

I had friends who were fashionistas, and I would ask them:

“Can you help me?” / “Can you dress me?”

“Can you teach me what you know?”

And I discovered something:

Just because someone can do a thing doesn’t necessarily mean they know how to teach the thing.

I didn’t just want someone to dress me.

I wanted to understand why it worked. I wanted the tips, the tricks, and the techniques that would allow me to do it for myself.

Eventually, that journey led me to Style by Color and to studying the art and science of color and image consulting.

And what I originally pursued for myself became something I now have the privilege of sharing with other women. Because I believe something very simple:

When you look good, you feel good. 

And when you feel good, you tend to do better.
