Are You Looking At Your Outfits From Head To Toe?

I’m still surprised when a new client tells me they don’t have a full-length mirror and need to race out and buy one before our wardrobe session. 

I’ve met those who have had a mirror they never use in their downstairs bathroom, those who have a mirror that, on my arrival, came out of storage from the garage, and those who only have a mirror that shows the face and shoulders.

For those of you who belong in the above category, imagine if you had a full-length mirror, you could see whether…

•  the shoes work with the pants, dresses, or skirt
• your bra and underpants are not the wrong color or too tight for the outfit and causing bulges
• your top or jacket is too long and cutting off the length of your legs
• the bottom half of the outfit works with the top half
• your skirt or pants are a flattering length
• the hosiery goes with the clothes and shoes
• your jeans are still flattering…from the back as well as the front

We’ve all thrown something on in the morning, thought – that’ll do – then raced off to work or lunch. Along the way, we caught a glimpse of ourselves in a shop window and thought, I shouldn’t have worn this – I feel daggy, self-conscious, and uncomfortable.

A quick inspection head to toe before you leave the house will help prevent this from happening. Think about putting a mirror behind your bedroom door or inside your wardrobe. You can get them from hardware stores, Kmart, and Ikea and I’ve seen them for as little as $20.
