Image consulting – color tips

May 1st, 2012 by Denise Levine

One of the best ways to update your wardrobe is to add a pop of color. Listen up men…spring is the perfect time to get bold and add color to   business attire. Tips for color:

1. Use bold color sparingly if you’ve never experimented with it before.

    2. MEN: Keep the shirt and suit neutral or dark and wear a bold color tie. Try a color shirt with a neutral or dark tie. Getting brave? Introduce a    bold color pair of socks.

      3. WOMEN: Step into bold colors by wearing 1 item of clothing, or 1 accessory in that color. Try a dark pair of jeans, white tee shirt, and orange purse, for instance. Then try 1 of those gorgeous colored jeans or capris in something like a bright green, with a white shirt  and yellow earrings.

        A pop of color near the face and on the lower body is a great way to get comfortable with color.

          Organize Your Life – from head to toe!

          April 10th, 2012 by Denise Levine

          One of the many reasons why I love being an Organizer is that I can show my clients simple to use strategies to organize their lives. The Outside In Organizer and Makeovers approach looks at what is behind (or under) the problem.

          • Not enough space? Eliminate clutter. Contain smaller items. Store items near the place they’re used.
          • Not enough time? Audit your schedule for a full week. Look at how you spend your time. What can be eliminated? Shared? Delegated?
          • Nothing to wear? Take everything out of your closet. Donate items that you haven’t worn in a year or more. Reorganize your closet by grouping your clothes in outfits rather than categories.
