One, I love the way this written and how you walk us through what you see
Second, on the layers and textures and deliberate choices... Leaning into what a woman feels she likes is a great starting point, but speaking from personal experience and observation: a lot of that time, the confidence isn't there to match it. So she doubts herself and her choices. Even if she knows intuitively that look works on her. That self assurance isn't there.
So part of the work is building that confidence back up and I LOVE, having heard directly how your sessions work, how you hype your women up. How you invite them to feel safe and secure in their own skin and bodies and then accentuate the parts they love or want in a given moment. It's a bit like armour, even a costume sometimes, but it works with you, not against you, when you know who you are
I like how you’ve articulated this. In my experience, that confidence comes from listening to your body.
Of course learning about proportions, colour, silhouette … is a MUST! because we’re all sooo unique. But the real transformation happens when a woman starts paying attention to how something feels on her. Not how it looks or how it photographs, but how it feels in her body.
I just wish I had the imagination for seeing how clothing fits together. I guess it's just about playing with textures and details. But, I did just get my color analysis so that feels like a step in the right direction.
imagination isn’t something you’re born with. It comes from understanding a few key things about yourself. Colour is one (such a good step), proportion is another, and then knowing which brands actually cut for your body instead of fighting against it.
Can I ask, now that you know your colour palette, have you noticed certain silhouettes working better on you too? Or are you still experimenting?
Next Thursday I’m actually writing about the opposite side of this… the subtle ways we end up hiding behind trends instead of building something that feels like ours. I think you’ll really enjoy that one :)

I’m up for part 2.
And I know exactly what you mean - there are some women who are effortlessly intentional and my eyes are drawn to them too.
It’s never loud, never try hard… it just feels right. And I think that’s what draws the eye.
Part 2 is definitely coming 😉
