Ongoing Support
Once your Jo McDiarmid Personal Stylist session is over, I will continue to provide you with support. Should you have any questions, you can email or Whatsapp/text me. Should you require additional style advice or shopping support at some point in the future, please contact me to arrange a session.
Preparing for your particular session:
As above, we’ll ask you to fill our pre-consultation form in advance of each of the sessions.
The Colour Session
We’d suggest attending these sessions wearing no make-up, or very natural. If you normally wear glasses or eye wear, also wear these to your session. It isn’t mandatory, but you might find it helpful to wear something neutral on your top half.
The Signature Style Session
Follow the guidance as per The Colour Session. You may also wish to wear, to bring with you, or to provide photos of you wearing, slimmer fitting clothes such as leggings and a vest as it will make it easier to assess your body shape.
The Total Wardrobe Workout
Follow the guidance as per The Signature Style Session.
Before your stylist arrives, we request that you arrange your wardrobe into like items. For example, group all your trousers together, shirts together etc.
Identify the clothes and accessories that you love and can't imagine living without. Your goal is to only keep those things that make you look and feel fantastic and these are a great starting point. We’ll also be looking to identify what you definitely don’t need to keep and what gaps there are.
Spend some time going through magazines or Pinterest and picking out pictures of fashions or styles you particularly like.
Think about your lifestyle. Take a moment to focus on the things you want to discuss or the image you would like to achieve.
Shopping
Shopping requires lots of energy, so make sure you have a good breakfast before we start (we will meet for coffee beforehand too). You should also bring a small bottle of water with you.
Make sure you wear comfortable clothes that can be easily removed; constantly changing in and out of your clothes can be time consuming and exhausting.
Bring any pieces of your clothing that you wish to match e.g. a top you want to find a skirt for, or a shirt or trousers you would like to find a jacket for.
Please inform your stylist what your budget constraints are; this may affect the shops she selects.
Bring a pair of shoes with you, that you are most likely to wear with your clothes. A spare, different pair would also be handy (e.g. wear trainers if you wear them lots, but also bring a small heel)
Make sure you wear your best-fitting bra (or bring it with you) to try on with tops or dresses.
Be ready to:
Have fun.
Experiment and try new things.
Be transformed....if that’s what your aiming for.
Love being you - one of the secrets to looking and feeling amazing is learning to love the way you are!
