How To Get A Compliment

Written by Scarlett De Bease on January 20, 2016. Posted in Caring for Clothes, Image and Business, Image and Style.

“OMG, I LOVE your scarf.”

“Ohhhh, what a great necklace.”

“Great shoes.”

If you only get compliments on a part of an outfit, let’s say shoes, scarf, or necklace, then there is room for you to improve your entire outfit.

If however, you sell the shoes or accessories, then you receive a compliment that turns into business for your product; bravo!!

What you deserve and should get way more often are wow, “you look great” comments.

Looking, and by the way, feeling, great literally goes from head to toe.

Sure getting a compliment on an accessory or other part of your outfit is fantastic and feels really, really good, but don’t think that is all you should get,

How to get a compliment

Strive for a combination of “nice shoes” with a smatter of “wow, you look great!”

YOU deserve, and can, look beautiful, confident, and great every single day!

Never underestimate your potential to be obsessed with getting dressed!

I love showing my clients how to feel beautiful, professional, and current –

no matter their size or age!

I’m Done!

Written by Scarlett De Bease on October 22, 2014. Posted in Image and Style. 2 Comments on I’m Done!

I’m Done!! I wrote a book filled with Style Advice for Real Women

Once upon a time, I announced at a women’s networking event that I wanted to write a fun book filled with styling tips for women. Well, I did it!! I started writing my book, about 1 year ago and it is done! Twenty four chapters filled with tips you didn’t know you should know, laughs, and no cost easy to implement steps to take, to end your what to wear woes.

The title is: Stop Stressing About Dressing and is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

FYI: My clients know exactly what this title means.

As an example of my book’s content and tone, one chapter is titled:

Do You Know Where Your Breasts Are?

Come on now, if you are a woman over 50, you know exactly what I am referring to.

Book Excerpt:

Remember what Grandma used to look like when she was wearing an old bra or shudders, no bra at all?
Just because we get older and gravity is having a big laugh on behalf of a variety of our body parts, we can easily lift up our breasts to where they belong.
Did you know that when you are wearing poor fitting and old bras you most probably look older than you are or feel? Who wants that?
Go get a professional bra fitting, and expect to be amazed.
If you have not had a professional bra fitting in the last 2 years, you and your breasts, are way overdue for some much-needed attention. I recommend neighborhood lingerie stores, Soma, Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, and other better department stores for great service and selection. Please do not shop at a store that uses models with angel wings. We are not angels, and certainly don’t look like those perfect specimens. Okay, I don’t look like them.

SO WHAT?

So what if your scale doesn’t show the number you want.
So what if your hair is getting more grey.
So what if your body is not ‘perfect’.
None of these so what’s, define or have power over you…..unless you let them.

Likes matter, so would you please do me the honor of liking my
Scarlett Image FaceBook page if you haven’t already.

This week’s note from a client:

“Thanks for finding me clothes that make me smile.”

Because You’re Worth It!

Written by Scarlett De Bease on May 28, 2014. Posted in Image and Style.

L’Oreal had it right when they started reminding women back in 1973 that they were worthy of taking good care of themselves. Here is a L’Oreal, because you’re worth it, commercial with the beautiful Kerry Washington, before her days on one of my favorite TV shows, Scandal.

Because you’re worth it advertising campaign commercial.

So if women are worth it, why do so many do and give more to their family, friends, and even their pets, than they give to themselves?

Has anything like this happened to you?

Your daughter or granddaughter wants you to buy her bras and panties at Victoria Secret, and you are buying yours at Kohls or Target? Of course, this is assuming you have even bothered buying yourself new lingerie within the past 5 years!

She wants exercise clothes from the, watch out if your thighs are too big, and expensive Lululemon, 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, which is perfect by the way without a single squat or sit-up. Oh the injustice….. but I digress.

Recently a client told me she had her wakeup call, when she realized her barely a teenager daughter had better workout clothes than she did, and I was the woman many years ago when after having spent a fortune at Victoria Secret for my ‘budding’ daughter, realized that the scales of self-care were tipping in the wrong direction. Something inside of me snapped, and I marched myself into a lingerie boutique to treat myself to higher quality and better fitting bras simply because I am worth it! I have never stopped taking care of me since then.

There’s a problem with doing more for others than for ourselves. 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 is smart and helpful as you are teaching your children and spouses that you are important and not insignificant.

If you find often denying yourself a decent haircut, coloring, manicure, a well fitting bra, new clothes or even a vacation so you can give more to others, then you are actually giving less since you are diminishing yourself. When we become smaller we have less to give from our hearts and that is really the only place we have so much to give and share.

You Still Got It!

I strongly believe that every woman is worth it, and if you feel the same way please contact me

“I want other women to experience your magic.
Scarlett is AMAZING!! I can’t believe I waited this long to find someone like her. I don’t like shopping, and SHE DOES and she has the best eye. Before working with her, I was in old, tired, out of date wear. Now I look and feel terrific. Somehow she finds the PERFECT clothes at an INCREDIBLE price. I can’t wait to have her line up my fall fashions. Thanks Scarlett! Everyone’s raving about my look now!”

YES, You Should You Get A Bra Fitting

Written by Scarlett De Bease on May 20, 2014. Posted in Caring for Clothes, Image and Style, Makeovers, Shopping Tips.

Should You Get A Bra Fitting?

Need A Lift? You just might, so here is why you should get new bras and what you need to do to care for them.

Did you know that when you are wearing poor-fitting and old bras you most probably look older than you are or feel? Who wants that?
Remember what Grandma used to look like when she was wearing the wrong bra or shudders, no bra at all? Now, you don’t want that to ever be you. Not sure what look Drew Barrymore was going for, but my guess this was just a huge mistake.

Without a properly fitting bra, your waistline appears bigger, clothes don’t fit properly, and you look hunched over. None of these seem like desirable options, so please consider finding out if the time has come for you to get new bras.

Have you ever had a professional bra fitting? If not you don’t know what you’re missing! When you discover what size you really are, as chances are you are indeed wearing the wrong size, you will be delighted at how good you and yours can look in the right bra.

If you have gotten well-fitting bras, but it has been over a year since you replaced them, then it is probably time to get a new fitting and replace yours. I know they can be very expensive, and it hurts to have to replace them, but odds are that after one year, they are no longer doing the job they were intended to; keeping you up, centered, and proud!

Once you have good bras, read how Good Housekeeping gives the important tips on how to care for them, so that the investment in your bras last as long as possible.

Remember that not only will you look better, but you’ll also feel a lot better when you see how uplifting this experience will be.

Pssst…Overheard In The Dressing Room

“I enjoy your blogs & have been presenting myself better these days using the techniques/tips I learned from you. This is great because I don’t feel I need to diet before I can look good!”
