I recently worked with a client who felt like she was trapped in the wrong style. She wore Classic, basic suits with little or no accessorizing.
She believed she had an edgy Rocker soul but didn’t know how to express it outwardly and still look professional. At 46, she felt more of an urgency to be authentic, bring out the edge in her personality and show it in her style. She was ready to give up generic looks and stand out with something more expressive while maintaining professionalism.
During our Style Session, we identified her Style Statement as Chic with Rocker Edge.
The Chic style is dramatic and creative, with powerfully confident looks dominated by clean lines, monochromatic color and accessorized with one strong, unique focal point. The Rocker Edge is conveyed through accessories.
As a result of our work together, she rebuilt her wardrobe, purging the Classic looks that made her feel restrained and released her inner rocker to feel more comfortable in her skin and while gaining unshakable confidence. She is now thrilled to proudly show the world who she is, a Chic, modern woman who has a Rocker Edge and ready for business, and business has never been better!
Here are a few examples of how my client moved from her Classic style of matched suits and basic dresses to a more customized, authentic Chic/Rocker Edge look.
“BEFORE”, Classic suits worn without accessories. Generic tailored dresses.
“AFTER” focuses on shape and accessories.
The look comes together for a polished and professional Chic Style Statement with Rocker accents that communicate a memorable and powerful image.
