Positive Reflections: Image & Wardrobe Consultant The philosophy behind Positive Reflections is that you can look fabulous at any size, any age, any

I was a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur for 30 years before I founded Positive Reflections in 2006. My passion is to help women feel confident and find their own Positive Image while looking in the mirror. My philosophy is that anyone can look beautiful at any size, any age, anytime. By learning to select clothing and accessories that suit personality, body type and lifestyle, one can cr

eate a new, beautiful vision of themselves. I am a firm believer that successful dressing is a skill that anyone can learn. I use my expertise to help my clients develop their own personal style. Clients who work with me are usually experiencing a transition in their life, such as, new mom, transitional age, new career, weight loss, and newly single. I encourage my clients to see their individual beauty and strength. Women find the process professional, stress-free, and enlightening. I hold my clients hands during every style, image, and wardrobe decision. My ultimate goal is that women feel that it is a wonderful team experience. In addition to in-home consulting services, I offer corporate presentations/professional image workshops, girls night out programs, and she is a sought after speaker throughout Connecticut. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the City University of New York’s College of Staten Island. I have been a member of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI). I am also an active member of networking organizations throughout Fairfield County, CT.

This is a great style that looks good on every body type. They come in a wide variety of wide-leg pant types, including jeans, trousers, palazzos, gauchos, and culottes. Many variations are high-waist styles, but you can find low-rise cuts as well.

👖You can pair these pants with anything really but sometimes a more fitted top can flatter your silhouette such as a bodysuit, button-up, tank, or tailored blouse. Try adding a blazer, leather coat, or denim jacket for more texture.
👖Feel free to choose sneakers, chunky sole loafers, for a casual look. Use booties or pointy-toe pumps for a sleeker look.
👖Wear a belt, especially for a cropped or tucked-in top.
👖Mix and match textures, a silky blouse with starchy jeans.
👖Make sure they fit comfortably in the waist and hip areas.

These three words get lots of attention at this time of year: happy, peace, and merry. Do they describe your mood by mid-December or are you more focused on this trio – rushed, exhausted and flustered? Before you get ready to celebrate “Peace on Earth” and all things holiday, load your calendar up with some “Peace of Mind” activities that will provide some moments of sanity for you as things move into holiday warp speed.

1. Create a closet appointment with yourself to come up with three to five holiday outfits that will suit all your activities from casual chic attire for home parties to more formal outfits for business gatherings to festive-wear for New Year’s Eve parties. Don’t just eyeball your clothing possibilities; try them on. This will allow you to know for sure if you have everything you need to complete your looks. If something’s missing, there’s not need to panic. There’s still time to plan a shopping trip.

2. De-stress by planning hair appointments early. You may want to have an up-do for one of your parties. Make an appointment for a blowout. December is the busiest month for hair stylists so call ahead and book it early. You deserve this gift of time and peace of mind.

3. Make appointments for other beauty needs including mani-pedis, brow shaping, waxing, or whatever grooming details give you that polish and boost to your confidence. This may seem like excessive pampering but in the month of December, you can’t have enough “me” time. Your temporary motto is: me first.

4. Are you throwing a party this year? Don’t do it alone! Make a list of tasks and make a point of delegating these tasks to others so you’re not frazzled and exhausted by the time the party rolls around. Do the parts you like best and delegate the others which could include decorations, party favors, set up, creating centerpieces, selecting the music, or creating mood lighting. Helpers could be family members, friends, or hired help. You want to be able to look back at the holiday photos and appreciate how everyone looks festive and happy, including you.

5. If you’re hosting a party or even attending gatherings that are clustered on one or two days, schedule ample recovery time. Again, look at your calendar and make a giant red X across the day (or two) after the party. Besides moving the furniture back and getting everything into the recycling bins, returning any rental items, you need chill time. What’s chill time? Time to sit on the couch, read a book, make a pot of soup or take extra time walking the dog and breathing in that fresh air.

6. Renew friendships. It may seem unthinkable with such a busy schedule, but when you plan ahead, it’s doable. Have lunch with a friend, a romantic dinner with your husband, attend a play with the kids, or have some Facetime chatting with loved ones from far away.

You’re invited to a party or get together and you want to feel festive. What do you do? Do you rush out to the store after work to buy a new outfit? Do you leave everything to the last minute and try to pull something from your closet from things you’ve worn in past years? Do you have a meltdown and call the hostess and tell her you’re coming down with the flu?

Any one of these three strategies could bring your stress level up near the breaking point. Maybe you get mad at yourself for leaving these details to the last minute. Perhaps you think everyone else must really have it together and only you have problems over what to wear.

Ban those thoughts! Take a deep breath…that’s good…now let’s talk some style sense.
1. There’s good news, you could be more prepared than you realize.
2. By calmly looking at your options, you can get excited about the party instead of dreading it.
3. Everyone goes through fashion breakdowns but you can learn to curb yours with a few tips about how to look festive.

Are you ready to start putting together a few holiday outfits? Inspiration is as close as the fall trends you may have already added to your wardrobe. Here are three style choices to work into your fun holiday looks

Velvet
Remember those velvet slacks you bought or that velvet jacket you scored this fall. Combine either with lace and pearls and you’ve got a romantic holiday party theme.

Pleated midi skirt.
This skirt is pretty in a print and glissens in metallic gold or silver. Either one can be a key ingredient for a night of holiday cheer.

Wide leg pants
In satin or prints is a comfortable and in-style choice for a Holiday party. Pair them with your favorite sweater or blouse. You will certainly make a statement.

1. Consider the people and party you are attending. Is bling,
the way to go, or possibly a new pair of jeans, great shoes, a
belt, and a colorful blazer.
2. Make sure you choose accessories that work for you.
3. Take a good look at the women in the mirror. Be confident
of yourself and your outfit.
4. Plan a hairdresser appointment early in the season, so you
are ready for any invite.
5. Your coat and handbag will finish your outfit. They are the
finishing touches to any outfit.

Experiment with layering this season to achieve a stylish yet cozy look. Consider pairing a soft sweater with a structured jacket or wrapping a chic scarf around a trendy top. These layering techniques blend style with comfort perfectly.

Raingear does not need to be just functional but fashionable as well!

Raincoats might make you feel like you want it to rain, or at least not make you feel so glum when it does. Add some fun rain boots or an umbrella as accessories to your raincoat.

Make a glum day into a fun day!

Via phone Pam got me well on my way- instructing me to take all the pants out and put them on my bed. She waited while I tried on certain sizes and styles, coaching me to make piles of items that no longer fit or flattered my body. In less than an hour, I had made a huge leap into a project that I had been dreading & procrastinating – and all the while she made it fun. With her contagious enthusiasm I was able to see what I already owned & then it became quite clear what I needed. She asked me questions about what I had on hand & knew by her experience- sight unseen what I needed to fill in the gaps. To this day, I get regular compliments about my outfits. I no longer stress about what to wear to upcoming events, as I have the confidence I will have an appropriate outfit.
In a recent wedding, I had sent Pam a picture of my dress, and she guided me to the perfect accessories- paired with things I never would have thought on my own, I looked fantastic!
Love you Pam,”

🧥Jackets are an excellent way to add a pop of color or texture to your wardrobe. Fall season is the time of year when we start to layer our clothes. You can use your jacket as an accessory to your outfit.

The most recent style is known as a Lady Jacket. These are jackets similar to blazers but are typically shorter, slightly boxier, collarless, and often have piping details.

Try one to give your outfit a different look!

👗Every woman must keep her image and wardrobe updated and fresh. Stay current but not necessarily trendy.

👩‍🦰Pay close attention to the length and color of your hair. What worked for you in your 20s and 30s does not necessarily enhance your appearance today. Sometimes too long or bushy can drag your face down. While the right shade for your hair will brighten your complexion.

👠When looking for shoes COMFORT is so important….but Please remember that shoes are an accessory that makes or breaks an outfit. Stay away from bulky frumpy shoes. Today there are a variety of adorable comfortable possibilities.

👗There is a perfect length for every LEG and body type. The right length for you might not necessarily be the right length for your friend the same age.

👙Get a good bra fitting and try some new comfortable undergarments. You will be amazed at the difference they can make.

The number one reason to have accessories in your closet is to make your outfits look different every time you wear them. It is a low-budget option to give you the high-priced look you want.

One of our best accessories is jewelry! Did you realize you can wear more than one necklace at a time?

When you layer them just right, they can seriously take your style to the next level. Layering is to create a combination that tells a story, reflects your personal style, or conveys a particular vibe.

📿Use different lengths and shapes and mix materials.
📿Don't overdo it, stick to three or four necklaces.
📿Have fun!
