Personal Colour Analysis

Discover which colours bring you to life and which ones drain you. Eliminate any uncertainty in future colour selections. You will receive a colour wallet customize for you – a tool to take along when shopping or co-ordinating an outfit. This colour analysis is done using the Seasonal Colour System and need only be completed once in a lifetime since your skin tone will not change.

Benefit
You will clearly see and learn the colours that complement your natural skin tone. You will also become keenly aware of the colours that sabotage your appearance - when we wear our best colours, we appear more alert, youthful and approachable.

Content
You will learn your colour season and observe how these select colours enhance your overall look. Lynda's demonstration will provide you with an understanding of the colours and shades within your season and the positive and negative impact that various colours have on your appearance. To assist you in working with your colours and to use as a guide when selecting new items, you will receive a customized wallet containing your ideal colours as well as a booklet describing our physiological responses to various colours.

“Lynda has gently but persuasively changed my wardrobe from total black to vibrant colours that suit me. I now have a wardrobe for all occasions, and I feel more confident professionally and socially. My only regret is that I did not consult her services sooner.”

Marelene Russell, M.Ed. Psychotherapist

Personal Style Analysis

Have you ever wondered why some clothing styles compliment you while others sabotage your appearance? You will learn the best styles, shapes, lines and proportions for your body type. Realizing and accepting your genetic body type is important for your self image and self-esteem. Learning how to bring out your best features will create an attractive, well balanced appearance. A customized Style Guide will be developed for you.

Benefit
You will learn how to use the unique features of your body to make style decisions that will create a complimentary look. Information such as the best style pant, skirt length, jacket details and the size and shape of your accessories will empower you to make the right decisions with ease and confidence.

Content
You will become aware of the best style choices for your body, based on your height, body shape and bone structure. Details such as line, proportion, style, fit and fabric types will be analyzed on how to complement your body. Your personality and natural look will be discussed and incorporated into your style equation to create a flattering impression. A personalized style book containing your specific details will be provided to you for future reference.

“Even after having spent only a few hours with you over one year ago, I still keep your advice in mind when dressing for work or shopping for new clothes. It helps a lot in simplifying the process for me and making it more enjoyable (or at least much less painful) than it otherwise would be. As a teacher, it's especially important for me to maintain an image of professionalism and respect and I've found that the simple tips you've given me allow me to achieve this easily and inexpensively.”

Lee Greenberg, High School Teacher

Wardrobe Audit

How many times have you opened your closet and felt like you had nothing to wear? Working together we will bring organization and flow to your closet. I have had clients tell me that they break into a sweat when they go to the closet in the morning – all they see is clutter, confusion and chaos. Is this your experience? Do you always wear the same clothes because you can’t see (or find) what you have?? Let Lynda help you clear out unflattering items, utilize remaining clothing and accessories and take an inventory of required items.

Benefit
Once the closet is cleaned out, organized and separated by season, you will be left with the best clothing suited to your colour and style. Your closet will be filled with flattering items that fit you properly. If desired, Lynda will assist you in organizing your outfits using wardrobe capsules that organize all of your wardrobe co-ordinates and accessories in one place.

Content
Lynda will assist you in separating the most flattering garments from the outdated, inappropriate articles of clothing. Together you will make informed choices for those garments that should be kept and organized, those for consignment shops, friends and family, charity or for disposal. She will explain why certain garments should be kept, based on quality, current/classic styles and suitability to you and your lifestyle. Lynda will help organize the most enhancing pieces and will offer to remove those that are no longer needed. And all of this is done in a caring manner with sensitivity to sentimental belongings; solutions like a memory box, will be created for these special pieces.

"When Lynda went through my wardrobe with me, her eye for what worked and what didn't work helped me tremendously. What remained became the 'bones' of my wardrobe and I felt as if a huge depressing burden had been lifted from my shoulders. It's like losing weight. It is so much easier now to make smarter fashion decisions. Now I get compliments on what I'm wearing."

Helen Walter, Senior Designer, Capstone Communications Group

Personal Shopping

Hate to shop or just don’t have the time for it? For some people, shopping is a tedious or overwhelming task resulting in choices that do not always enhance your personal style – money wasted on clothes that do nothing for you. Knowing where to shop for quality garments at the best prices can transform this experience into a pleasurable one. Lynda will provide exceptional guidance in the selection and coordination of clothing and accessories that reflect your personal and professional lifestyle. Every time you open your closet you will have coordinated outfits to wear.

Benefit
The missing garments and accessories to complete your wardrobe can be purchased with Lynda's guidance. Your complimentary colours and styles will be added to complete a coordinated, easy wardrobe suitable for your lifestyle.

Content
Lynda will meet you at the store or shopping district that meets your personal and financial needs. Whether you want to shop at boutiques, department stores, vintage or consignment shops, this session will be an enjoyable learning experience.

"I've wasted a lot of money over the years buying clothes that I didn't end up feeling good in, and I'm glad those days are gone. I feel like I am in a much better position now to choose clothes that suit me. Thank you for being patient and so much fun! I look forward to our fall shopping expedition".

"Image consulting is both an art and a science. It is more than dressing the individual to complement skin tone and body type – it’s about dressing to highlight one’s personality in harmony with aspired goals; it’s about integrating one’s self with an outer image that feels comfortable and natural."
