Segment of Interview Transcript:
Eric Michaels: Where does a woman start looking glamourous especially if the pocketbook is an issue?
Constance Dunn: The very first place she starts whether she has millions or way less than millions would be to know herself. The biggest issue is buying to much stuff and particulary too much of the wrong stuff. The 80/20 rule applies really well to all of our closets – 20% of our clothes are worn 80% of the time, the rest linger around with their sad little price tags still attached fluttering in the wind. The first thing you need to understand is how to dress your body and that means what silhouttes are going to work with your body what silhouttes are not going to work with your body. You do that by getting a sense of balance for your figure. For instance, if you have very narrow shoulders you are typically always going to look for garments, tops and garments that are broad in your shoulders or at least balanced against your hips – knowing yourself in that way but also understanding your colors as well. I always say we can wear any color we want, we just have to wear the right shade and right intensity – so know your colors whether you get a color analysis done just understand what’s going to look good and then you can get rid of most clothes that you see when you walk into the store it becomes a much quicker, YES – NO, YES – NO type of situation. Finally understanding what I call your personal style brand. Knowing exactly what you want to project to the world when you go outside the door each day. I get into that in depth in Practical Glamour. I have a whole chapter that get’s quite reflective, it gets into your preferences understanding the formal elements of clothes that you are interested in, like the fabrics that have attracted you since you were young and also the style. So once you have those three C’s down, the colors the characteristics and the cut – you are on yoru way no matter how much money you have. If you have a limited budget you are going to be able to shop and dress in a more targeted and resourceful way. You will make fewer mistakes and you’ll understand yourself.
