Shopping Sense

After I complete a personal style assessment, she takes me on a day of dashing from boutiques to bargain stores to a hair salon. Energy bars are needed to make it through our fast-paced schedule. Cecile coaches constantly―pointing out flattering garment cuts, suggesting accessories to complement facial features, and using eye color as a guide to fabric color selections. These new shopping guidelines give me a huge confidence boost. They help me feel like I’m making expert choices. It’s fun to feel so intelligent while shopping.
