So, you may be asking, “Exactly what is an image consultant?” or “Why would I need an image consultant?
I’m a stay-at-home wife/mom (or a student, or a bus driver) and don’t need a professional wardrobe (or a fancy wardrobe, or anything more than jeans and t’s). Well, as a stay-at-home mom, there may be times you need to dress up to accompany your husband to an event, students will eventually enter the workplace and need an appropriate wardrobe and bus drivers wear uniforms, but not during “off” hou
rs, so they’ll need a workable personal wardrobe. The image consultant doesn’t JUST teach you how to “dress up”, look “job perfect” nor are image consultants trying to take away your comfy jeans and t’s. The image consultant helps you learn to upgrade or update your look. The image consultant can show you how to dress so you look pounds thinner, she can show you how to camouflage your flaws and expose your assets; she can save you money on your wardrobe by showing you how to purchase items to expand your wardrobe on the tightest budget. You can learn how to build a capsule wardrobe for travel and how to “dress rich” during an economical recession. With an image consultant you’ll learn how to put a basic wardrobe together, so you ALWAYS have something to wear, how to mix and match your wardrobe effectively; what colors look best on you! Of course, your overall image doesn’t consist of just your wardrobe. She can help you with a total make-over or just some tips and techniques to give you a more updated look with your make-up, hair and overall appearance. She can help you achieve the necessary look to fit into your new promotion or help you get that promotion. She can teach you some tips and techniques for dressing for job interviews and how to interview successfully to give you a better chance for landing the position you seek. She can help you learn poise and etiquette for your personal, social and professional life. So, next time you’re thinking that you need some self-improvement or job interview assistance, don’t over look the importance of hiring an image consultant. The small price you pay can help you save money (or make money) in the long run.
