SPRING & SUMMER MAKEOVER TIPS

Makeovers:

I don't believe makeovers have to be completed in one day.  I'm of the opinion that when you want to change your look it should be taken in steps.  Here are some tips to remain comfortable in your skin yet display a fabulous new look over a period of time.  You can do something wonderful for yourself each month. By the end of the summer your makeover will be complete.


1.) Start with your inner self, how do I feel about myself?  Why do I think I need or want a makeover?   Once you have answered these questions start with the outer.  Are there any skin or teeth issues?   Do I want to lose weight? Once this is complete onto the next step.



2.) Start with a  new hair style, if your hair is curly change to wearing it straight or from long to short.

 

3.) Next go into your closet and look at your spring & summer wardrobe. Before you dash out and buy all new clothes see what you have already.  Let's say you have a favorite tan or white linen suit that you've worn 2-3 seasons already; just retool it by taking the pants or skirt with you shopping, match it with a new bold multi colored chiffon blouse or a pale coral rose cotton sweater . If it's a long skirt have it shorten or pants have them tailored to walking shorts.













4.) After you have sorted out what you will be wearing this season, organize your closet. Your work  dress & casual clothes should each have it's own section in your closet.  You will be amazed at how wonderful  you feel when you know where all of your garments are when you're ready to get dressed!

STYLE ICON EDITH HEAD

  When I think of  style I think of FASHION ICON-DESIGNER Edith Head.  She was an american costume designer who had a long career in hollywood.  I loved her work with Audrey Hepburn for the movie"Roman Holiday"...during her long career she garnered 8 academy awards from 1948 until 1966 more than any other woman in history.  Ms. Head was able to connect the movie script with the actor which produced a timeless creation. Edith Head's design's were work's of art- not just clothing to cover your body- they added a feeling of glamor and confidence. I fondly remember seeing pictures of  her in those trademark tented eyeglasses. How wonderful to see a resurgence of old hollywood on the runway. Let's all ESCAPE TO STYLE....

FINDING ONE'S OWN VOICE

What a great feeling when you find your own voice!  I felt going into 2011 that I had finally found what  
I really wanted to do in life...I'd always heard from others that you would truly know what your passion was when you were willing to do it for "free"...It's been a long road trying to find out what that might be!  I never knew or didn't have the confidence to know what I was good at doing so I could provide for myself.   Never thought  my life's experience would be the very thing that would be my voice.   I'm able now to freely give to other's what I've found to be true.  The book I wrote which at first was only suppose to be about fashion ended up becoming my voice. I'm overjoyed when I'm able to connect with  friends I've known for years or people I meet for the first time while talking about "On the Other Side of STYLE"  or my nonprofit "Journey Inc".  My Dreams=My Journey=My Voice=FREEDOM!

Love and Kisses,
George

"Style" Not just about how you dress...

I'm a great believer that style isn't just about how you dress. Baby it's so much more than that...for me It started with having to overcome "fear"...from and early age I knew there was something different about how I saw the world, and what I thought about clothes and how I thought they should be wore-not always conforming to what a magazine or sales person said or suggested.  Now knowing and feeling that was not enough to combat a large giant called "fear"!  I allowed my mind to take me to stylish places but not my actions all the time-meaning I went with what was the norm in fashion and let my personality do the rest...That ladies & gentleman was something I had no control over!  As I grew older I hungered for a more personal sense of style... I was able to connect with men & women who thought as I did... after spending time with them I would re-entered  into a world that seemed committed to destroying what we all thought about personal style...my way of dealing with this issue was drugs and alcohol...not suggested! Please don't wait as long as I did to address your fear... or take your "LIFE" thinking it's not going to get any better...I'm LIVING proof that it does get a whole lot better!!!

Love and Kisses,
George
