Let Your Hair Choose What to Wear

Let Your Hair Choose What to Wear

Your head may now be spinning, wondering if you have been wearing the wrong colors and fabrics. In fact, your hair just might be standing up, wondering the same. What can Scarlett possibly say about my hair?

In a previous blog, we dealt with the texture of your skin and how it impacts the choice of fabrics to wear near your face. The texture of your hair also can influence what tops and scarves you can wear.

For example: If you have curly hair, try on a top or scarf that has ruffles. Notice how the curls are being duplicated, and how attractive this looks. Nobody will look at you and figure out what you have done to look so great in what you are wearing, but they will notice that you do look especially good.

If you were to wear a top that did not have the same texture as your hair, there would be nothing wrong, but you would be missing out on creating a subtle, but very flattering look. Straight hair is fine with a ruffled scarf, but even better with a straighter style.

No need to pull your hair out, trying to pick out clothes and accessories to go with your straight or curly hair.
Just by becoming more aware of which way your locks look, you will find yourself becoming more aware and creative with your wardrobe.

This short email from a new client melted my heart.
“Scarlett, Iโ€™ve taken so much joy in all my new clothes. Iโ€™m happier.”โค๏ธ

Try this instead of a cosmetic procedure

Try this instead of a cosmetic procedure -Change the fabric you wear instead of getting cosmetic procedures.

Sit down, and fasten your seat belts, because you wonโ€™t believe how these tips will save you thousands of dollars and get you hundreds of compliments.

If your face has lots of texture, such as wrinkles, spots, lines, scars, etc., you should avoid wearing fabrics that are smooth near your face.

What is Scarlett talking about, you ask?
Is she out of her mind?

The answer to those and any other questions you may have about this advice is that the strong contrast of the flawless and smooth fabric will accentuate the bumps, spots, and lines on your face.

It may cause the uncontrollable reflex to tug and pull at your face while staring at your reflection in a magnifying mirror, and you may even vow to call your friend who just had โ€˜workโ€™ done on her face, vs her home.

You will look like you had โ€˜work doneโ€™, just by wearing fabrics that donโ€™t bring attention or exaggerate the lines, bumps, and spots on your face.

Fabrics like boucle, tweeds, brocade, boiled wool, chenille, corduroy, crepe, and whatever blends or materials you find that are anything but smooth, will bring attention away from any imperfections, and will likely cause those around you to ask for the name of your dermatologist.

Tip: Prints versus solids are also helpful in distracting from less than perfectly smooth skin.

But what if you’re asking, โ€œI donโ€™t have lines, bumps, and wrinkles on my face, then what fabrics should I not wear? Just reverse my advice, and wear smooth and crisp fabrics that do not have any texture to them. This way you will be highlighting your enviable skin.

When it comes to the texture of your skin, it is best to duplicate it with the fabrics you choose for the tops and scarves you wear.

The magic of loving how you look in your clothes is all in the details you didn’t know you needed to know.

Why The Color Your Wear Matters

Why The Color Your Wear Matters

Have you ever been asked if you’re okay or tired, but you feel perfectly fine?

Itโ€™s not a great feeling when people see you as looking ill or exhausted when you’re not.
The reason you may appear unwell could very well be because of the color you’re wearing closest to your face.
This can be in your clothing, jewelry, and scarves whichever you have near your face.

Wearing a color that is wrong for YOU, can cause:
โŒ Your under-eye circles to look darker.
โŒ Your facial lines seem deeper.
โŒ Your skin tone looks yellow, green, ashy, or red.
โŒ Your eyes appear dull.
โŒ Your hair seems drab and lifeless.
โŒ People think you’re not feeling well.
โŒ Your nose looks bigger.
โŒ Horrors, worst of all, make you look older.

———————————————————————————–

When you wear the colors that are right for YOU to wear, your:
โœ… Under-eye circles look less pronounced and seem to disappear.
โœ… Facial lines are diminished.
โœ… Skin tone has a healthy and radiant glow.
โœ… Eyes are bigger, sparkling, and clear-looking.
โœ… Your hair looks shinier and healthier.
โœ… Your face will look rested, instead of tired or stressed.
โœ… Entire appearance will look younger.

So how is that possible and what should you do, you ask?

Be aware that colors close to the face, change the way our skin and eyes appear. For example, if I were to wear olive, my skin would look a bit green, my eyes yellow, my hair dull, and my health would be under considerable scrutiny by those around me. There are many resources available online and in books, to give you the guidelines you need, to choose the colors that will flatter you, however, you can start right now, by simply being observant. Put on a top you rarely wear, and look at your eyes and skin tone.

Are your eyes sparkling? Are you looking refreshed or dull and exhausted?

You should start paying attention to your initial reaction, and NEVER, and I mean never wear a color because it is in style or your shopping companion or salesperson loves it.

Please promise me that you’ll only wear what works for you and you alone. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

There is great news if you do decide to wear an unflattering color.

After a day or two of looking unwell, you can call in sick and no one will question your being under the weather.
Just donโ€™t tell anyone I told you how to get the day off.

Note: Part of working with me, is learning your best and worst colors to wear.

Clothes Shopping Mistake

Don’t make this common clothes shopping mistake!!!

Watch this short video to see how.

And then she said:

“I hired Scarlett, and my initial thought was,“What was I thinking?” It reminded me of the show “What Not to Wear.” But hiring her was the best decision and gift to me. I donated four bags of clothes that weren’t working for me, and Scarlett helped me update my wardrobe and taught me how to dress for my body type.
Ever since the wardrobe change, my social calendar has been busy.” –
Ann Chin

Do You Know You’re Worth It?

If Not Now, When?

Lโ€™Oreal had it right when they started reminding women back in 1973 that they were worth it. So, why do so many women give more to their families, friends, and pets than they give to themselves?

Your daughter or granddaughter wants you to buy her bras and panties at Victoriaโ€™s Secret, and you are buying yours at Costco or Target. Of course, this is assuming you have even bothered buying yourself new lingerie within the past five years!

OR

Your daughter or granddaughter wants exercise clothes from a high-end manufacturer, while you have been wearing the same leggings and T-shirts for years. Even worse, you might actually work out, while the youngster is just looking to strut her stuff without a single squat or sit-up.

Oh, the injustice.

Recently a client told me she had her wakeup call when she realized her teenage daughter had better workout clothes than hers.
I had to tell her the truth. I was the woman many years ago, who after having spent a fortune at Victoriaโ€™s Secret for my โ€˜buddingโ€™ daughter, realized that the scales of self-care, were tipping in the wrong direction. Something inside of me snapped, and shortly thereafter I marched myself into a lingerie boutique to treat myself to higher quality and better-fitting bras, becauseโ€ฆ I am worth it!

Hereโ€™s the problem with doing more for others than for us, we are unwittingly making ourselves unhappy by lowering our self-esteem and self-confidence.
It is not selfish to acknowledge you are worth the trouble or expense of self-care.
On the contrary, it’s smart and helpful, as you are teaching your children and significant others that you are important and not insignificant.
If you often deny yourself a decent haircut, coloring, a manicure, new clothes, or even a vacation so you can give more to others, then you are diminishing yourself.

When we become smaller, we have less to give from our hearts and, that is the only place we have so much to give and share.

Closet Emergency?

Closet Emergency? Help Is On The Way

Sound familiar? Plans are made andโ€ฆ OMG! You now have less than 48 hours to figure out what to wear.

You’re hoping it won’t be a problem to find the perfect outfit to wear because it’s lurking in your wardrobe. You know there must be something fabulous for you to put on, because you have more than one closet filled with clothes, drawers packed so tightly that opening and closing them often requires Olympic strength, shoes up to your calves, along with an ever-growing population of dust bunnies.

No problem, right? WRONG. Why? Because your closet may be overstuffed with clothes wrong for you and gaspโ€ฆdisorganized! But, wait a minute. Didn’t you recently get some new clothes and you loved the way you look in them? That’s why you bought them, after all. Oh, you don’t like how you look in them? Wait, you can’t find them? How can it be that you have lots of clothes, yet still have nothing to wear?

If you believe that you are the only one who feels this way, I think you’ll be happy to know that you are soooo not alone. I don’t want you to feel this way, but retailers and manufacturers do.They are hoping you stay unhappy and keep on stuffing your closets and drawers with more and more, and you end up having less and less to actually wear. So then you shop more.

How To Instantly Look Thinner and Taller

Look Thinner and Taller in Seconds

Would you like to know how to instantly look thinner and taller, without buying new clothes, losing weight, or holding in your stomach while not breathing?

I know, you are thinking that this is impossible, but it isnโ€™t, and Iโ€™ll show you how to do it in less than one minute.

Here is what you need to do: put on a long-sleeved top and get yourself to a full-length mirror. Now, push only one of your sleeves up. Do you see it? See the subtle and surprising difference? Notice how you look thinner and taller, just by making your sleeves shorter?

How can that be, you ask? Well, the proof is in your reflection. By pushing your sleeves upโ€” go ahead and push the other sleeve up now tooโ€”you are creating an emphasis on your waistline or creating the illusion of one. Therefore you look thinner.

The shorter sleeves give the impression of greater height, so now you look taller. Keep in mind that this styling trick is only needed if you want to look thinner and/or taller.

Now if you think you need to get a new top to achieve this result, you would be wrong. This trick even works with sweatshirts from your school days or your childrenโ€™s or grandchildrenโ€™s alma mater.

Rolling or pushing your sleeves up instantly elevates any outfit, and I mean any outfit.

Warning: All of my clients have developed an instinct to push their sleeves up whenever they get dressed, or as soon as they see me walking towards them.
You too may now find yourself pushing up the sleeves of those that you care about, but trust me; they will thank you for it.
