"DRESSING FOR MYSELF, NOT AS AN IMAGE CONSULTANT"

Do you think the pressure is on when going to an Image Consulting conference?  You bet there is - as well as packing for it!

My annual Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) conference was held in Irvine, California from May 14 - 18th! This is the "IT" event for all Image Consultants  in our profession to gain education, networking and products.  There are alternate sources of education and networking during the year that involve our own Chapter level events, but this is mainly the source.  I feel refreshed, rejuvinated and reconnected with my industry colleagues and excited to be back practicing what I absolutely love, my work!

The theme due to the geographic location was Hollywood Glamour and it was spectacular.  I wanted to share with you how I chose what to wear to my gala awards dinner on the last night... I  haven't worn a long dress since my wedding, almost 20 years ago now and was quite excited at the prospect of choosing a totally one time wearing of an outfit!  I broke all my rules and cannot wear this again to my conference for about 5 years or so because it is that memorable.  I am ok with this because of how I felt in it!  The function of this gown was purely glamourous, if only for one night!  I need a wedding/blacktie event to wear this to as it is so dressy. The reason I am sharing this is because how often do you go somewhere feeling absolutely beautiful on the inside and out where, what you are wearing is absolutely PERFECT! It was totally worth it because it was the best colour choice, style choice for my body type and the best of all expressed the part of my clothing personality I love to dress in! 

If I have intrigued you or you have an event you want to feel great in what you are wearing, I would love to hear from you and help you.  Please feel welcome to visit my website and view the service options and packages at personal services.
