Five steps to a look
you'll love

BY MARION GELLATLY, AICI CIM

hy not wake up every day and put on something
you love? Wouldn't it brighten your day and make
you feel buoyant?
Here are four ways to infuse your wardrobe with that powerful
love force:
Shop for what you love
If you're shopping on the run, you may be grabbing "just
any old thing" rather than allowing yourself the time to try
things on, look in the mirror and ask yourself the question,
"Do I love this?" Or maybe you're settling for tried and true
items instead of exploring new possibilities. Give yourself time
to choose some fun clothes. Ask yourself, "Will putting this on
make me smile?"

Satisfy your love of details
Peruse fashion magazines. Are there details that appeal to
you? Maybe you love vintage touches or fancy lace, or appliqués. Perhaps urban chic like studs, fringe, or grommets call
your name. Indulge your love of details and look for new ways to
have them in your wardrobe.

You may have the grandkids in tow, but that doesn't mean
you can't look gorgeous.

Show your true colors
Often people surround themselves with the colors they
love when they're decorating their home but not as much when
they're choosing what to wear. If having wall paint or bed linens
in your favorite colors is fabulous, imagine having an ample
number of clothing pieces in those tones. And update your love

of color, as your tastes might change over time or with the seasons. What color are you crazy about right now?

Highlight a loved feature of yours
Instead of focusing on your figure challenges, cast a spotlight on what you love about yourself. Do you have a dynamite
décolleté? Wear pieces that flatter your chest with great necklines. Gorgeous long gams? Consider pants in all kinds of fabrics
like lace, velvet, and jacquard. You can direct attention wherever
you want. By focusing on what you love, the challenges fade
away.

5

Step on the scale
Take stock of how you feel about your clothes. On a scale
of one to ten with ten being totally satisfied with your wardrobe
and one being not at all satisfied, where does your wardrobe
stand? Bringing some loving attention to it could be what's
needed to bring that number up to a resounding ten.
