Chrissy's Make-over

Make-overs are great to see aren't they? But a make-over may not help you know what actually works for you - it's a wonderful experience yet afterwards you can still feel a bit lost.

Let me introduce you to a friend of mine; Chrissy of Bliss Baskets & Gifts. She entered a magazine competition late last year and won a fab make-over.

I recognised Chrissy in the magazine and was delighted for her but some of the stylists' choices made me shudder! So I made contact and gifted a Personal Style Private Consultation (comprehensive workshop with wardrobe audit).

Chrissy is a Summer and suits the blue-based, greyed colours, her style personality is primarily Classic-Chic with Feminine-Romantic and a touch of Exotic-Expressive.

Like many mainly Classic-Chics she had great core essentials in her wardrobe but 'something' was missing. Now she knows to incorporate some soft draping and prettiness with a touch of pizzaz to reflect all her style personality.

Chrissy is just 1.57m (5'2") and Petite in scale, she is short-waisted with an enviable Hourglass figure. Best design lines for Chrissy highlight her lovely shape while elongating her.

This all made a lot of sense to Chrissy, who now understands what is was she liked about her favourite clothes and how to make wise buying choices in the future.

I referred her to my hair stylist Becky as Chrissy's hair cut was rather severe and the warm shades were aging her.

Becky began correcting the colour and gave Chrissy a softer style, as well as helping her with some easy ways of styling it.
