A traditional image consultant tells you what to wear. When the session ends, you're alone in front of your wardrobe again. Here's the difference between a prescription and a criteria system.
The most expensive pieces in your wardrobe are usually the least worn. It's not bad luck. It's the image desire mechanism operating without criteria. Here's the logic behind it.
The capsule wardrobe teaches you to have fewer clothes. It doesn't teach you to dress better. Those are two different things. Here's what actually resolves the wardrobe relationship.
The seasonal color system has spent decades telling you which colors are yours. But it's built on categories, not principles. Here's what actually determines whether a color works for you.

The eyebrow is the feature that changes a face most with the least surface area. And most of what gets said about it stops at the arch, when what usually decides the result is where the peak falls and where the tail ends.
Most face shape tests ask you to compare yourself to a drawing. Almost nobody gets it right that way. It takes four numbers and two divisions, and less time than you would think.
