“I highly recommend hiring Scarlett! She helped me purge the out-of-date and unattractive clothes from my closet, showed me new ways to wear my existing clothes & accessories to highlight my face and figure, and emailed me almost 50 pictures that evening of all of the outfits she put together. In addition, Scarlett made a list of the items I needed to purchase and can be hired to shop with me to make sure I make the best decisions. No more wasting time and money buying the wrong clothing items. She was a pleasure to work with and I had a great time in the process.”

Taking Time Off From Wardrobe Styling

Written by Scarlett De Bease on June 11, 2014. Posted in Image and Business, Image and Style. 3 Comments on Taking Time Off From Wardrobe Styling

I’ll be taking a week off starting Tuesday from personal shopping and in home wardrobe styling consultations, as I will be having surgery on my right shoulder to repair some damage.

I could say that the damage occurred from all the clothes I carry from wardrobe styling and personal shopping, but truthfully I don’t really know how my shoulder got damaged.

I do know that next week I’ll be back to one to one consultations and this week I will only be having online, telephone/Skype wardrobe styling consultations while I recover and learn to master applying makeup with my left hand. Now that should be interesting!

Till I am back next week, I wanted to share with you my guest blog post for : Color Matters: How to Update Your Style for Success.

Don’t forget to use COLOR, to help you get your wardrobe and makeup working for you, and not against you:

C – Create a look that works for your own individual look and style.

O – Open up your mind to try new looks.

L – Less clothes & lighter makeup.

O – Organize your clothes and makeup.

R – Review and remember what you own and how well it works on you.

How To Make Your Waist Look Smaller

Written by Scarlett De Bease on June 11, 2014. Posted in Image and Style, Shopping Tips. 1 Comment on How To Make Your Waist Look Smaller

Be sure to click on the video to learn: How To Make Your Waist Look Smaller

We all, well at least 99% of women, yearn for a smaller waistline. Many women are also tired of being frustrated with lackluster results from dieting and exercise. All we want is a smaller waistline, to be a size 6, 5’7″ tall, to have perky breasts, smooth skin, and hair that never needs coloring! Is that really too much to ask for?

Well, apparently it is too much to ask for, but that is where I come in. I know lots of ways to create the illusion of smaller waists and make a woman look taller. However, there is nothing I can do about hair coloring. I am not that kind of stylist!

So watch my video to find out How To Make Your Waist Look Smaller, and learn a few of my styling tips.

And then she said:

“I’m the first one to tell people, when they compliment me on how I look, that I have a secret weapon: Wardrobe Stylist Scarlett Debease. I’ve worked with Scarlett for years now and recommend her heartily to family, friends, and colleagues. She not only shops with me for beautiful pieces to add to my wardrobe, but she also comes to my home and coordinates the new purchases with the rest of my wardrobe, then photographs the outfits to create my own personal lookbook. I NEVER have to think, “What will I wear today?” I simply consult my lookbook and get dressed. I know I’ve saved time and money using Scarlett’s invaluable service.” Jane Pollak

5 Tips To Know What Clothes To Wear & Keep In Your Closet

Written by Scarlett De Bease on June 11, 2014. Posted in Image and Style, Organizing Tips. 1 Comment on 5 Tips To Know What Clothes To Wear & Keep In Your Closet

5 Tips To Know What Clothes To Wear & Keep In Your Closet

Pick about 10 items from your closet and ask yourself the following questions:

* How do you feel when you wear it? Attractive or insecure?
* Does it accentuate or diminish a part of your body you wish was smaller?
* Is it in poor condition? Stains, holes, or missing buttons?
* Do you feel frumpy or fabulous when you wear it?
* Can you eat anything while wearing it? Know that feeling?

If the clothes don’t flatter you or should not be worn, then why hold on to them?

Just take 30 minutes to analyze those questionable pieces, and you’ll be closer to having a closet that will offer you many choices and not chaos.

And then she said…

“I loved our Nordstroms shopping trip! So many new choices now in my closet. Thank you again for your guidance and great choices!”

I’m sharing my secret and regrets today

Written by Scarlett De Bease on June 11, 2014. Posted in Image and Business, Image and Style, News and Events. 8 Comments on I’m sharing my secret and regrets today

I got very emotional last night and kept it to myself as I did not know how to deal with what I was feeling. I woke up in the middle of the night and knew I should really share what I was feeling and not keep it a secret, so here it is.

I attended a woman’s networking event in Connecticut, and my client Jane Pollak was the evening’s speaker. I always enjoy her presentations because she always has great advice for women entrepreneurs.

Jane as always looked fantastic, but what really got me was that so many of the women who attended last night’s event, have also been my clients and they ALL looked great. I was so excited, surprised and in awe to see about 10 women that I have given wardrobe styling and shopping advice to all in the same room. They were as happy to see me as I was to see them.

My big regret is I didn’t think of asking for a group shot and it wasn’t till I lay in bed trying to sleep that I realized my mistake and loss.

It isn’t often so many of my past and current clients are in the same room and I missed the opportunity to capture how beautiful they all looked and their equally beautiful smiles and contagious sense of confidence. A special night in so many ways.

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting my wardrobe styling tips to the Missouri Women’s Bankers Association in Osage Beach, Missouri. They were a wonderful group of professional women in the banking industry.

When I opened up my presentation to Q & A, I asked for a volunteer to come up and get some personal wardrobe styling tips from me. I made suggestions on colors, sleeve lengths, and jewelry which would totally change how she looked and felt in clothes.

The next morning I heard from other women, before I even saw my brave volunteer, that she looked fabulous as she was wearing a top that matched all my recommendations. When I saw her, I cannot begin to describe to you how great she looked and oh how her eyes sparkled!

Once again, I regret not having taken a picture.

Take photos of special days and don’t avoid being in the picture because you don’t like something about yourself, because as I learned you don’t get a second chance to capture special moments.

What a GREAT day!!! Thank you SO much for everything!! Thank you for your time, your expertise, for the planning, your patience, your upbeat attitude, and most of all, your talent for putting together a wardrobe that far surpassed all expectations!!

You’re FABULOUS!!

I Look Like A Turtle

Written by Scarlett De Bease on June 11, 2014. Posted in Image and Style, Makeovers.

I’m back with a new video and showing myself in a not so flattering top.

Do I look like a turtle?

I think I do and want to spare other women from looking like they have a double chin and feeling like they should hide in their shell.

When I analyze what necklines my client should wear, it is rare that I endorse turtlenecks as a flattering neckline. A woman typically has to have a long neck, think Audrey Hepburn, to pull off a turtleneck.

Each woman I work with has features that I know how to highlight and make disappear. Especially a double chin, or neck with deep creases and lines. I even spared one client plastic surgery!

“Scarlett is a professional’s professional. Her eye, her taste, and her clear, cut-to-the-chase manner can be completely trusted. I love Scarlett’s fresh approach and value her input, her opinions, and her guidance. It’s like having a fabulous coach in your closet!” Diane Ripstein Consulting Smarter Communications + Presentation

You Still Got It!

So what if you’re over 40, 50, 60 and you no longer wear the same size you used to. That doesn’t mean you can’t look great and walk into a room totally confident with how you look and what you are wearing.

I strongly believe that every woman deserves to look and feel her best, so contact me
to schedule your 15 minute You Still Got It, Free Consultation and find out what you can do to stop stressing about dressing your body.

You can and should love your reflection.

WHEN To Use Accessories

Written by Scarlett De Bease on June 11, 2014. Posted in Accessorizing, Image and Style. 1 Comment on WHEN To Use Accessories

Scarlett Tells You: WHEN To Use Accessories.

I wouldn’t be doing my job well as a wardrobe stylist if I didn’t encourage my clients to wear accessories, because no outfit is complete without adding accessories!

Here is an easy way to remember what and where to wear the pieces that will pull your look together.

Just say WHEN!

W = Wrists. Bracelets and/or a watch

H = Hands. Rings

E = Ears. Earrings

N = Neck. Necklaces and/or scarf.

Always keep in mind, that by changing accessories, which include shoes and handbags, you can update your outfit without spending any money.

Never underestimate how quick and easy it is to change an outfit, by simply changing your accessories.

And then they said:

Wardrobe stylist Scarlett De Bease is amazing! I had 3 major speaking gigs in the past week, a closet that was a complete mess with nearly nothing in it of use, and almost no jewelry! My only saving grace was my shoe collection! Scarlett saved the day! I had 3 different perfect outfits, one for each event ready to go after just 2 hours with her and my mess of a closet. We haven’t even been shopping yet. I can’t sing her praises enough. Plus, my room feels so clean and organized now. It’s so simple to get dressed every morning. If you need any wardrobe help, Scarlett is the best! —Jessica Drummond, health coach and functional nutritionist for women and girls.

“I was amazed at how much value Scarlett provided me in our virtual consultation. Not only did she quickly grasp the clothes that looked like “me” from just a series of photographs, but she picked up on colors and combinations which were not in the photos but I personally liked and encouraged me to use them more because they enhanced my features. Scarlett also gave me the reinforcement to understand why some items looked better on me than others. Then to top it off she provided a comprehensive list of examples I could instantly add to my wardrobe. In 2 hours I went from uncertain to confident with a new batch of clothes that really work for me on the way. ” Allison Hartsoe – Digital Analytics Expert

How To Create a Smaller Waistline – Wardrobe Stylist Tip

Written by Scarlett De Bease on June 11, 2014. Posted in Image and Style, Shopping Tips. 1 Comment on How To Create a Smaller Waistline – Wardrobe Stylist Tip

How To Create a Smaller Waistline - Wardrobe Stylist Tip

Here’s an idea for how to create a smaller waistline even if you don’t think you have one.

I love wide/straight leg trousers for creating an hourglass shape for my clients, as long as the hem is wider than the waist and hip area. If the hem flares out, then the illusion of a narrower waist is created. I especially like Not Your Daughters Jeans, NYDJ, as they suck in at all the right places, are comfortable and look great on various body types.

Wide leg trousers look great with flats or heels, depending on your preference or needs. Balance the pants with a top that has details at the shoulders, unless you are very broad shouldered, and your waist will appear even smaller, and further create the sought after hourglass shape which is the illusion of a thinner waistline.

“I NEVER have to think, “What will I wear today?” I simply consult my look-book and get dressed. I know I’ve saved time and money using Scarlett’s invaluable service.” – Jane Pollak
