A Personal Shopping Room Experience

Recently, I had the pleasure of consulting with Carlene who was looking to dress for her body shape and update her look. 

One of Carlene's favorite outfits before.

Her go-to outfits consisted of anything black and baggy and she was especially drawn to anything with skulls (shirts, jewellery, scarves....and often all together)

Carlene bravely walked in to the Personal Shopping Room with a large suitcase of clothes and she left learning 5 important rules for her body shape and style. Her list of "could not's" suddenly turned into "Well maybe I could!" 

1. Choose tops and jackets with more structure that create a waist 

2. Choose straight leg pants, trousers or skirts to add slight volume to your bottom half, to help balance out a fuller torso. 

3. Embrace colour in footwear, pants, accessories or scarves. 

4. Sculls look better and more age appropriate when you pick one just item as the focus

5.  You have a fabulous shape and you need to celebrate it!!! 

A fun casual look with lots of colour!

I am so proud of you Carlene! You look fabulous but more importantly you can tell that you FEEL fabulous! 

One of the new structured looks after!

"Through the personal shopping experience at Uptown, Erin helped me find my true style. As someone who is on the full side, I always felt limited and self conscious about what I could wear. I found confidence with Erin! She helped me dress my body type and gave me the tools to use to shop on my own. Now I feel like I can wear many different styles that are fashion forward, current and fun!" Carlene McDonald
