As well as the services I already provide for clients I have recently decided to run regular Style Clinics.  These are open to anyone and everyone who would like some specific advice about any wardrobe issue.

Perhaps you have an important occasion coming up and want to know how to create the wow factor!

Maybe you are stuck with how to accessorise.

You might be starting a new job or are about to go for an interview.

Have you looked at your current wardrobe and felt disillusioned with what you see?

Do you want some advice about what to buy for the coming season?

Are you tired of standing in fitting rooms not knowing if you should buy or not?

The sessions can be booked for half an hour at £25 or an hour at £50, or more if required.

If you have previously had a consultation with me you might just want specific advice about something you have bought or are thinking of buying in which case half an hour might be long enough.  If you have not so far had a colour and style consultation then an hour would be the better option.

The times and days of the style clinics will be decided according to clients' preferences and will mostly be conducted at my home.  In this way I have all my equipment and materials readily to hand.

If you or your friends would like to book a session at one of my clinics please give me a call on 07766 466 688 or email me at mary@maryerrington.co.uk

• Choose one of your assets to accentuate not all of them.  Otherwise why would he want to date you again?  He has seen it all the first time and in his mind if he likes what he sees he will want to cut to the chase so to speak.  A bit of mystery holds a man’s interest more than anything else. 

• Aim for looking approachable rather than too perfect and polished - that can be scary for men.  They want to look after you and protect you not feel intimidated by you.

Wear a fantastic shirt which fits well, is freshly laundered and ironed for the night out.  T shirts generally look a bit casual unless they are designer and even then they need to fit well and be a good colour.  Footy T shirts are a big no no for us girls.  Bad enough that you are obsessed with the game, don’t remind us when you are out with us!

According to an article published in the Mail last week women’s fashion has become more assertively sexy over recent years.  It is important if you want to be taken seriously at work that you dress appropriately for the environment in which you work.  You want to look feminine and classy not overtly sexy!  With redundancies at an all time high it is more important than ever to get it right at work when it comes to personal presentation. 

• Straining shirt buttons look tacky – make sure you buy shirts that do up comfortably.

• Overly short skirts give a similar message.  Keep hemlines on, below, or just above the knee.  Girls you can show off a great pair of legs at the weekend!

• To project an authoritative look aim for high contrast in your colour combinations.  Dark shades with lighter shades, or contrasting brighter colour combinations.  Wear more structured tailored styles.

• To look more approachable keep the colour contrasts to a minimum.  Use lighter softer colours and less structured or relaxed styles.

• The colours you wear can influence how others perceive you.  Red for example is seen as powerful, assertive, successful, but also aggressive and demanding.  Blue in comparison may create an impression of intelligent, trustworthy, credible and professional.  The best colours for you are determined by your skin, hair and eye colour.  Colour analysis will identify your own individual colour palette.

• Jewellery at work should be understated and kept to a minimum.  Too much is distracting and makes you look frivolous.

• Make sure your handbag is a good quality one and neat and formal looking.  Think of it like a man’s briefcase.  We have all seen the scruffy, bulging, tatty cases some men carry.  It makes them look disorganised and unprofessional!

 Remember no matter how good your figure the workplace is not the environment to show it off.  You are there to work not find a boyfriend, husband or partner.  Dressing as if you are going on a night out will convey a message that you do not take your work seriously and you will be treated as such!
