DRESSING IN THE NEW ECONOMY

Most people today have a new perspective on purchasing for their wardrobe. We need to make smart decisions with our money. To maximize our purchasing power, we need to have a plan on how our wardrobe is going to work when we put all the different pieces together. First we have to identify what our own individual style is, and be consistent in the coordination of our clothing. We have to do an inventory of what we own: only then can we build our “core wardrobe.” This will maximize the use of existing pieces of clothing in our closets, and minimize the cost of new purchases.

While this seems like a simple activity, most people have a blind spot when it comes to their wardrobe. Clothes and accessories tend to be chosen emotionally, not rationally. If your closet is overflowing and you still feel you have nothing to wear, an image consultant can help you find that “core” wardrobe and use it to slowly build a wardrobe for any occasion. An image consultant will help you insure that your next purchase will integrate with other pieces in your existing wardrobe. This is a very cost effective way to build one’s wardrobe, one garment at a time. Properly implemented, the savings will be greater than the cost of the consultant. Make the right choices and the end result is a wardrobe that works in many different ways and is an “image” of the new economy.
