Thank you to Faye for a really enlightening, professional morning. Very enjoyable and different. Bit of a revelation but in many ways I feel that it was worth my while far more than I was expecting as I'd obviously taken my eye off what could really work for me - now it has opened up new - and forgotten - possibilities...
Gill
I've been meaning to write for some time to thank Adele and yourself for all the time and effort you put into my consultation appointment, I felt thoroughly looked after! I appreciated the additional time you both put in to give me an outcome you were both entirely satisfied with and could then explain to me.
I have been experimenting with new colours which is fun, and am now in the process of trying to pull it all together into a workable wardrobe -without spending too much money!!
Pauline, Charity Manager
"I really my style consultation and found it very informative, interesting and worthwhile. I've been out looking at clothes a few times since then and tried on styles that I wouldn't even have considered before. To my delight, they look good! It's kindled an interest and enjoyment in clothes that I haven't had before and transformed shopping into a pleasure and an adventure - thank you!"
Carolyn, Dentist
"The whole experience was great fun and very useful. I had my colours done just before an important interview. Following Jane's advice I returned an expensive suit back to the shop and instead bought a much cheaper one in the right colour. Not only did I save money - I also got the job!"
Kathryn, Pre School Teacher
"[My consultation] opened up a whole new world to me, it sounds a bit dramatic- but it did. It gave me loads of confidence I had never had before. We went to France on holiday shortly afterwards, and it was such fun browsing in the markets choosing chunky jewellery and things that accentuated my waist. Now when I put things on I have the confidence to know they work and know why. It also gave me the confidence to cleanse my wardrobe of everything that didn't suit me."
"I thoroughly recommend colour and style consultations for giving confidence". It has altered how I think about myself. How I can put myself forward in a way I know is right. Both the Janes are so great - positive and upbuilding about who you are. They take the whole person and their lifestyle into account and work it all in. It was Christmas and birthday money very well spent - all in all, I'm a new woman!"
Yvonne
"I hoped that having a colour analysis done would both help me to weed out my wardrobe and prevent shopping errors in the future, as well as making me look good, of course! I'm delighted with the results - a more co-ordinated wardrobe, focussed shopping trips and a new look for me, helped by the makeup tips and new lipsticks. I only wish I'd had it done years ago! Many thanks to Jane and Jane, who created a fun and friendly environment for myself and my friends when we came for our analysis."
Rosie, O.T.
"Having my colour consultation has been a very liberating experience. For years I have felt totally lost about which colours I should wear. I now have a greater sense of confidence in the clothes I wear and the make-up I use, and I can now enjoy a very beautiful palette of colours which makes me feel fantastic! Thankyou Jane, it has been a very inspirational journey."
Debra, Solicitor
"I thought I knew what suited me, but after the 'colour' and 'style' sessions, a new look emerged together with many valuable tips which have been very thought provoking and will be of lasting value. The whole experience has given me a renewed confidence."
Maria, Working Mum
"I came to True Colours because I was entering a new phase in my life, starting a new job, and wanted to look my best. I'd got into a 'rut' with how I was dressing and had started to look scruffy which I knew was not really me.Coming to see you [for colour and style] was brilliant! I discovered colours which I didn't know suited me which I love, and you've opened up lots of new possibilities.
I used to feel really negative about my body and thought I had a difficult body to dress but now I know what really works for me and makes me look good. You've given such a boost to my confidence and how I feel about my body and looks. Now I know how to look my best and dress like the real me!
There have been so many benefits: I've now got a much smaller wardrobe of clothes which really work together and getting dressed for all sorts of occasions is so much easier. Shopping is easier too because I know which colours and styles of clothes look good on me and I'm saving money because I'm not making expensive mistakes.
I'd happily recommend True Colours to everyone. You are fantastic. You were so positive, sensitive and relaxed. You really boosted my confidence and self-esteem I just wish I'd done this years ago."
Drew, Deputy Head
"it was enjoyable, informative, good fun and well worth it."
Liz, Doctor
"I found the prospect of staring at myself in the mirror and being analysed by others rather daunting but found both the colour and style analysis quite the opposite - fun and empowering.
It has been a challenge to transform my work wardrobe from black and white to 'Autumn leaf', but on the whole shopping for clothes is much easier and I have a much better idea of what will suit me and why - I can tell just from looking what is worth trying on and what needs leaving - no pink flippy skirts for me!
I would definitely recommend the two Janes who undoubtedly have a great eye for colour and style and will take you through the process in a fun, confidence boosting way."
Hazel, Retired
"You've given me the confidence and boldness to dress well every day and really enjoy looking my best. I loved the way you are pro-active and highly professional (and giving a lot of input in a short time) because that gave me the confidence to break out of the mould.
Although I was a bit nervous at first, it helped that there were 3 or 4 others doing it too, so it was fun as well as creative.
One person has said "You always dressed neatly, but now you dress interestingly!" I am often telling people about the course, because they've noticed the difference it has made in my life. I grew up somehow with a feeling that looking your best was only for special occasions, not every day. So my best clothes were rarely used! Now it's as if you've given me the tools to enjoy being creative in colour and style, and it's just opened a door to being more free to express myself."
Lois, Civil Servant
"Now I know which colours suit me, I enjoy shopping. I know which neutrals to choose and how to put colours together, and they even did my make-up. Everyone says I look fantastic - I feel it too!"
Joanne, Solicitor
"The colour consultation helped me to identify the range of colours which suited me and my skin best and identify the best shade of foundation, blusher and lipsticks. I wasn't entirely wearing the wrong colours before but I was certainly wearing some colours which didn't suit my skin tone. Having a little book containing a swatch of the range of colours suitable for me now really helps me to choose the right colour clothing, particularly as I know exactly which my best colours are. I didn't wear foundation before and only nude lipsticks and now I wouldn't be without foundation and have the confidence to wear much brighter lipsticks!
The style consultation has helped me to realise what type of clothing suits me best; skirt and jacket length and the type of neckline of clothing which suits the shape of my face. The whole experience was really enjoyable and was made more so by sharing it with my best friend. Jane Chapman was very helpful, professional and approachable and gave us both really constructive advice.
I enjoyed both consultations as they were something special for me and so personal. I feel much more confident at home and particularly at work and I cannot believe how many people have noticed the change in me. Not everyone can quite work out what the change is but know something has changed! I have had more compliments in the last few weeks since my consultations than I have ever had before in my life.
I know that I am now wearing the correct make-up for my skin and clothing to suit my body shape. Jane has also given me advice on accessories which has made quite a difference to the outfits I wear. I have sorted out my wardrobes as Jane had recommended, and that has given me many more different outfits to wear. I really enjoy putting outfits together and wearing my clothing and I feel like a different person now.
The whole experience was so enjoyable and positive and everyone should do it because it is a real confidence booster. It has been a real benefit to my work because the new found confidence in my appearance helps me to deal more effectively with stressful and difficult situations in the workplace.
David, OT
"Since I had my colours done, choosing the right clothes is like painting by numbers. I now buy clothes in the right size and colours and feel much more comfortable in them, knowing I look good."
Anders Michael, Consultant
Attending a Colour & Style Consultation with True Colours Image Consultancy taught me a lot of great principles that will shape my way of dressing in the future.
I got help identifying the principles that really works for me personally when building my wardrobe, finding out which colours compliment me and what style and cuts suits my shape. As an international consultant (Danish ethnicity/British resident) I spend much of my life in public and social space and it´s just crucial to know how to dress in a way so that you feel yourself at your best and at the same time dress for authority. Jane Fardon and Jane Chapman did an excellent consultancy job with me - and it was great fun too! All results were nicely filed and I received a colour swatch and notes so that I will never have to doubt any more what suits me when buying clothes. That´s a good investment and the consultancy will save me loads of money in the future making no more mistakes in the shopping arena."
