I hit menopause, had a ski accident, got divorced and changed job at the same time in my late forties. Due to this I gained a lot of weight “over the night”. My body did not feel or look like my own any more, and I started dressing in baggy dark clothes.
All I wanted was to hide away from the world. When ever I tried on clothes or bought clothes, it felt like they was not made for me, and my self esteem was bottom low. In periods I would try, but not succeed.
I’ve had taken several color season tests over the years, everyone saying I was a true and cold winter. So there was a lot of black and really dark colors in my wardrobe. Every time I’d shop, the clothes and shoes never seemed to go together for more than just one or two outfits.
When I enrolled this fashion school, my best hope was that I at least could be able to find a work outfit or two, and a party look that would work.
At first I got my color chart and thought this must be wrong! So I wrote back and asked if they could check it again (!). I got a really light palette, with lots of pastels, and was not able to see myself in any of these colors. But then I thought, I need to start from the ground here, forget about all I’ve learned in the past. So I tried my first light colored dress with white shoes, put it out on the Facebook group, and got this really, really good feedback, and was overwhelmed. After that first attempt, I never looked back again.
This course is a life- and game changer. You are truly going to be able to change as much as all the beautiful women in all sizes and shapes and ages you see on the pages. If I can, you definitely can!
The learning modules are short, to the point and really good. I recommend to see them over and over again, because you will learn different things as you envolve. Also the Facebook community is very safe and supportive, and we always get and give feedback to each other. It’s a great learning in seeing how other dress and try out different things; styles, color combos, texture ++. You also learn to take your photos, and little by little you train your eye to see what works and not. And also you learn how to put together your different occasional accessories sets.
So don’t hesitate, my world have totally changed. I now know what to buy; color, shape, size, fit. It’s easy to see if something is missing in my wardrobe, and it’s a joy and delight to put together outfits in a busy and hectic work day.
