☑️ RESEARCHES YOU
A personal stylist that reaches the caliber of an amazing stylist will take the time to do due diligence on where you wear your clothes and what you do in them.
Having done her homework at the beginning, she’ll be ready when your body image issues get dredged up. She’ll work to make sure any recommended styling habits and fashion picks are natural to who you are and what you want in life.
☑️ CONSIDERS YOUR VALUES
What matters most to you, your time, energy, and the money you want to spend, drives how you approach your personal style.
Your amazing stylist will understand and accept this. Rather than trying to impose her values on you, she’ll be sensitive to yours.
She’ll look for how any changes in your style would impact your life and how they’ll help you stretch and grow in ways that truly benefit you.
☑️ APPRECIATES ALL STYLES
An amazing personal stylist isn’t a fashionista, retail associate, personal shopper, or stylist to the stars on the red carpet with one set of rules for all of us.
She listens to what you like and understands how to dress you in all styles you’re drawn towards.
☑️ KNOWS WHAT FIT MEANS TO YOU
She recognizes we all have different ideas of what “it fits” means. Your “too tight” is my “just right.” And that’s just fine.
☑️ IS FAULTLESSLY HONEST
When your personal stylist can both understand the fit you like and still guide you on what is most flattering to your body, you know you’ve found a real gem of a friend.
Not only can she find clothes that make you feel comfortable, she can make sure your outfit follows the golden ratio for aesthetics.
☑️ RESPECTS YOUR VULNERABILITY
You’ll get pretty intimate with your personal stylist, whether they’re all up in your space adjusting your clothes or coaching you through your body image issues.
Your personal stylist will need to set the right boundaries so both of you are comfortable and can build some trust in the friendship.
Of course, she’s still got to have a sense of humor…I mean, we’re talking about an amazing stylist.
☑️ EMPOWERS YOU
Your personal stylist doesn’t just do it all for you then walk away until you have another paycheck to drop.
An amazing stylist shows you how to take care of yourself and have a little fun because she knows her worth as a stylist. She knows you’ll come back when you really see all she can do, and in the meantime, there are plenty of others out there who need help!
☑️ MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE
To get any benefit from working with a personal stylist, you’ve got to feel safe around them. You won’t achieve anything if you can’t be honest.
BUT UNTIL YOU’RE HONEST WITH YOURSELF…
Of course, you won’t achieve anything, even with the most amazing personal stylist, if you’re not able to listen to what your mind and body are telling you…telling you what you need and want for your heart to be full and happy in your personal style.
An amazing personal stylist can teach you what questions to ask yourself, but no one else can do the work you’ve gotta do to really find the peace style can bring.
