Tips:
• Be open-minded and able to acceptconstructive criticism. The goal of a stylist is to honestly help. A true stylist wants a women to feel good,teach them how to dress and take them out of a boring zone and have fun withfashion.
•Oh, it’s too cold outside to wear a dress you say? I agree. Who wants to be cold? Enjoy winteraccessories like tights by Spanx or leggings by Sassybax with boots and spiceup your look and keep you warm and fashionable.
• Find a charity to donate your nicerpieces that may not fit or are professional. Many abused women escape theirhomes with barely anything except the clothing on their back. They really needyour better pieces of clothing for interviews to place them back in the workforce. Shelters refer women to Bottomless Closet. They take in clothingdonations and even have a list on their website of what they currently need.(www.bottomlessclosetmilwaukee.org) Donate the less nice or non- professionalitems to a charity. Goodwill andchurches are great for this.
