I am often asked – how did you start doing this type of work, Beth? How long have you done this type of work? 

It wasn’t a huge stretch to become an image consultant. I had already been in the “image” business as a public relations/communications professional for 25 years. A big part of my job–besides writing– was planning and creating publications. I was fortunate to work with wonderful creative graphic designers to plan color schemes, images and execute and assist with photo shoots. It was here that I first learned about makeup artists and stylists. I thought then: what an interesting and fun job. 

Later when I was ready to do something new, the idea of being a stylist came back to me.

I sought out several training sources, locally and California-NYC-based. I eventually found image consulting was a great fit because I loved the in-depth knowledge I could gain from my training programs. Eventually I joined my professional association, which proved to be one of the best decisions ever. I served in two leadership positions and continue to earn continuing education to keep my Certified Image Consultant status (24 hours every 3 years).

Today, I find my client base is often the individual — men and wmen –who hasn’t really ever thought much about their wardrobe, style or image but suddenly needs to. Maybe it’s a job promotion, dating again or just frustration with not finding clothes that fit. 

This person will be an active participant as we determine best colors in a Color Analysis, evaluate shape/style and the best cuts of clothing to wear and eagerly show me their closet for a clean out. This service tells me so much about someone and what pieces are really needed to build the best wardrobe for them. 

Often a closet cleanse is in order; it really reveals to me so much a person when I can evaluate a closet of pieces. 

Finally shopping is fun –and productive –since we know what direction we are going, and I make the process painless and easy by pulling clothing and working with the client to make the very best selections. 

There is a need for style and image services today–more than ever before. Who  doesn’t love to make improvements and learn new ways to look and even feel? Everyone needs confidence!

If you’ve ever thought – “I don’t like the way I look– I can’t seem to find clothing that really says who I am and what my style really is.” Or want to break out of your style routine, consider my services. 

We’ve all been there, and I know it can feel great to try a new direction in life. 

As George Eliot once wrote: “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” Amen to that! I’d love to work with you to discover your best self – today!how long
