Imagine Your Style

... Your confidence is affected by what
you wear, so follow these tips to help
you feel and look fabulous in what
you are wearing!
Wear clothes that fit

We’ve all been there, trying on an item of
clothing and convincing ourselves that it fits
when it doesn’t. These are the moments
when we have to accept that our bodies have
changed, and buy clothes that fit.
If you know something is too big or small for

from it

you will feel good

Accessorize with bright colours

If you have a wardrobe full of neutrals such
as navy, black, camel or grey, add some
colour with shoes, bags and scarves.

Donate clothes

Stop hoarding. If you haven’t worn an item
of clothing recently, you probably never will.
Ask yourself the following questions: Do you
like the style, fabric and colour? Do you feel
comfortable wearing it? Does it fit you now?
Can stains or holes be fixed? Do you have
more than one place to wear it? Can it be
combined with other items in your wardrobe?
When was the last time you wore it? (If it’s
been over a year, get rid of it)

help maximise your assets and hide
your ‘problem’ areas. For ^[\K
