Makeover Your Style!

Style is Substance!

Having style is a way to move through life.

It doesn’t mean you need to chase every trend, unless you want to. But enhancing your sense of style is a way to connect who you already are on the inside with who you want to be on the outside.

Whether you believe it—or think it’s even fair—we are all judged by our appearance. You’re smart and talented and believe in yourself. We want to make sure that’s evident by your style.

If you’ve seen the popular makeover TV show, “What Not To Wear,” you dream that Stacey or Clinton will tap you on the shoulder. They have a $5000 credit card with your name on it and wonder: “Would you be willing to go to NYC for a week to transform your style?” Um, yeah!

But, like winning the lottery, the odds of *that* happening are next to none!

So, what are you going to do?!

Learn the skills to develop your own style, end your shopping mistakes, and reflect the best of who you are by joining the innovative Personal Style Transformation program.

Less than half the cost of hiring a stylist

In this four-week tele-course, you will:

• go on a personal style journey, uncovering who you want to become with your style;
• learn color theory and how it applies to your unique color palette, along with how to analyze that in others;
• take charge of and reorganize your closet;
• understand and practice all of the elements of style, including fit, proportion, and style personality;
• put it all together and then debut your new style for your friends and family!

Of course, another great option is to hire a Style Institute-trained personal stylist for a multi-step personal style makeover.

With this much more affordable option, the Personal Style Transformation program will teach you many of the skills of our cutting-edge personal stylist training program, but geared toward teaching yourself what you need to know for a lifetime of style. We believe we can teach a woman to fish!

We know you’re fabulous. Does it show?!

We designed this program because we kept hearing that you wanted to be guided in undergoing a personal makeover! At Wardrobe 911, we are committed to giving you style tips and tools to help you build and manage a wardrobe based on who you are. But we also know it’s possible to take well-intentioned stabs at refining your style and not really get it right. Why? Because sometimes we just don’t know what we don’t know about style and design. And sometimes, it just requires taking it all apart and starting from scratch!

Her studies and research on body types and personal coloring led her to develop the Wardrobe 911 Personal Color System which is focused on applying color theory to bring out an individual’s personal coloring and beauty versus the “in-a-box” seasonal approach.

Understanding the WHY

Having “good taste” isn’t enough. Understanding the “science” behind style  — body-type, style personality, personal coloring, closet planning and management and much more — will give you the tools to put it all together forever!

In reality, much like a major home renovation, a makeover takes a mix of tools at different stages: measuring, deciding on design schemes, planning, demolition, and then hiring the right contractors. If you join us for this course, we are going to take a similar step-by-step approach. You will be learning many of the tools that stylists learn but turn them inward to make your own work of art: YOU!

And we know from our world-class Personal Stylist Certification program that this requires both art and science. Having a good eye is only part of the equation.

If you’ve seen any of the popular makeover shows, you have a week with renowned stylists and $5,000 to build from scratch. We are not going to assume that you have a large budget, but we do think that coming up with a budget is important. We will also have you take stock of what you already own. Even that requires real effort. If you’ve never done it before, a “closet sweep” will help you really find out what you own that can be worked with. If you take the course with a friend, you can also help each other at key points.

But the important question is, “How do you want to express yourself?” What are you trying to convey with your style? Who do you want to be? We want to help you match up how you feel on the inside with what’s reflected on the outside. And we want to teach you “how to fish,” for life. When you finish the course, we want you to feel great about how you look!
