Leading Auckland Image Consultant Susana Tuya from La'Qua Image, “the style & image experts”, is making a positive difference in many women & men’s lives by helping them to maximise their self-image potential.
Some startling statistics:
• Most women only wear 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time (the rest of their wardrobe is full of 'hanger ons' that they don't like and should not have bought).
• Most women own between 100 and 500 significant items of clothing and accessories.
• The average cost per item is between $50 and $100. That means that the average woman has wasted approximately $6,000 on clothes she doesn't wear. This amount of money is wasted on average every 5-6 years!
How to reduce years of your complexion – no facelift required!
Are you frustrated with your image?
Are your old fashion habits robbing your potential to look and feel great everyday?
Take a moment and think of the last time you got dressed and your entire outfit was success. The colour, the fit, the accessories, or even your shoes all worked in harmony. You stepped out in the world, you felt great, your head was high, people complimented on how great you looked on that today and maybe, you even caught the reflection of yourself (on purpose?) and saw how great to looked!
Do you remember this occasion? How long ago was it? Too long to remember? You can think of an oufit that can create this feeling?
Either we like it or not we live in an image conscious world. No matter whether you are a student, mother, secretary, manager or a CEO how we look is how others perceive us! The way you look, your image has a significant impact on how you feel.
So, how can I break those old-expensive shopping habits and ensure to have ‘workable’ wardrobe that maximises my natural assets against expensive ‘hanger ons’?
The quickest way to revamp your wardrobe and your image is through Colour and as much as we tend to feel safe collecting, black is not a colour. Interesting enough black is not as ‘safe’ as we may think. Black is only truly complimentary to particular under-tone. The wrong usage of black or ‘uncomplimentary’ colours can drain your completion, make you look sallow, dull, imperfections and blemishes standout and wrinkles tend to deepen.
Against, wearing ‘your’ right colours can automatically reduce years of your completion, the white of your eyes will stand out, eyes will sparkle, blemishes and imperfections tend to soften, and your face will look more vibrant, healthier and yes ladies… younger. You will look fantastic and feel amazing. No surgery required!
Colour, is the first best foot forward towards a better image. Knowing ‘your’ right colours will automatically reflect on the perfect hair colour, make-up and even accessories that will enhance your natural beauty.
And let’s not forget that it also affects your mood, body shape, your outlook in life and the impression so you on others.
If you do not know what colours suit you best you can start by injecting your wardrobe with ‘safe’ colours, colours that everyone can wear, it is no wonder why it is seen in stores year after year.
Melon, turquoise, off-white, and periwinkle blue are ‘universal’ colours. Do be aware that your undertone will not look best on either the bright or the more muted tone.
