Laura Kim Connell, writer and mother of two was feeling stuck in her current style. In an effort to welcome the new chapter of her life she approached me to help provide some style guidance. Laura’s goal is to start up an eco-friendly boutique in the near future and wanted to be outfitted in a look that would help embrace that new journey. Laura wanted a wardrobe that would reflect the fun times ahead, rather than the structured and safe style she has until now embodied.
Laura and I went through the entire Signature Style process together looking for the clues that would emulate what was at her core. After a series of exercises it was clear that Laura loved colour – despite all the black in her wardrobe and that elegance, femininity, flow and movement were an important part of the change. Identifying her shape and colours were the important first steps in providing initial direction. Keeping in mind that being environmentally friendly was important and that Laura’s biggest style challenge was accessorizing it was her passion for vintage that played an integral role in changing her look by pairing them with the unexpected.
Ultimately, putting Laura in well fitted clothes that she loved and felt amazing in, then polishing it off with her unique vintage finds made her new look beautifully and truly her. Checkout Laura’s work at http://forthoseabouttoshop.onsugar.com/
