Wardrobe Strategies

It will:

• Stop you wasting money on clothes you rarely wear.
• Eliminate guesswork when shopping.
• Make shopping quicker and less stressful.
• Make the daily visit to your wardrobe inspirational inst ead of frustrating.
• Increase your self-esteem and confidence.
• Have others commenting on the positive change in your appearance.

The Style Portfolio

For our professional packages of four hours or more, your image consultant will compile a personalised Style Portfolio. This is a folder filled with extensive printed information about every item you place on your body, from underwear to coats, swimwear to evening attire, business wear to weekend casual, eyewear to hairstyles, and shoes to accessories. There are 34 categories and more than 500 illustrations.

The Style Portfolio takes into account everything about you: height, age, weight, problem areas, vertical body type, horizontal body type, scale, face shape, shoulders, neck length and more. All the information is then combined to give you a clear picture of your needs.

Your image advisor will take you through each aspect of your Style Portfolio and explain how to get the most out of the wealth of information now available to you. We will also ‘go shopping’ in your own wardrobe to help you learn what to look for and what gaps your shopping list needs to fill.

 

Phoenix offers both a one-on-one Style Portfolio consultation and an e-Portfolio that can be downloaded and used on your own computer. We are willing to offer a package that suits your needs.

  

Learn about ‘strategic dressing’

‘Strategic dressing’ means that whatever your intentions, there will be a way of presenting yourself that will positively support your goals. Don’t let fashion, political correctness or your upbringing influence your presentation; take control and create a lasting positive image that supports you personally and professionally. Strategic dressing will be covered according to your needs and the time available.
