Have you ever wondered what message you convey to your clients, and what message you would like to convey to them through your own style? These questions have worried me since the beginning of my professional activity. It was important for me to look businesslike and casual at the same time. So that the client, on the one hand, understands that he is a professional and we have serious work ahead of us, but at the same time, so that he can trust me and see in me someone with whom he can discuss his problems, an understanding and accepting person. While still working at my first job, I understood that my style did not suit me very much, but every time I went shopping, I still met and bought things very similar to those that I had and those that I wanted to change. I remember now that I complained to my colleague that I was haunted by the “sports style”, all sorts of sweatshirts with hoods, and that I couldn’t get rid of this style. A lot of time has passed since that moment, but I still remember that this was a big problem for me, which I managed to overcome after some time of working on myself. I don’t remember at what point this happened, I only remember that it was gradual and not all at once. We work a lot with the inner sphere of our own and our client, with our souls, we devote a lot of attention, time and effort to this. It is not surprising that our appearance may be completely inconsistent with the message we want to convey to our clients, because this is not in the field of our professional assistance, although how to say it. Let me give you an example: now is a period of my life when I work especially hard with my inner world and devote a lot of time to it, more than before (I mean personal therapy, supervision and more). I started taking vocal lessons, I’ve wanted to sing for a long time, and so I decided to make it happen. My teacher is a nice young girl. Even at our first meeting, I noted how beautifully and tastefully dressed she was. In general, after studying for about more than a month, classes every week, every time I admired how beautiful and harmonious my teacher looked. I myself came to classes in jeans, fashionable and comfortable, but they were impersonal and when the stylist was sorting out my wardrobe, she said that you could only wear them to pick up potatoes. One hot day, I came to class in a dress, “putting together” my look according to what my stylist recommended (I’ll add that it’s no less comfortable than my jeans). My teacher complimented me and was clearly surprised to see me like this after my T-shirts and jeans. For me, on this day, something turned upside down, I realized that I had completely stopped paying attention to my external image, despite the fact that there are a lot of beautiful outfits in my closet, and I think a lot about the topic of image. How is this possible? So far I don’t have an answer why this happened. For all of us, there is no doubt that our clothes carry a strong message to the world, of course, not all of our clients are stylists and can consciously “read” this message by the way we are dressed, but unconsciously this message Everyone reads it. But our clothes reflect how we take care of ourselves, our beauty, what is valuable and meaningful to us. One can only guess what message I was giving to my teacher and the rest of the world with my jeans and T-shirts. I think something like I don’t care how I dress, I’m careless and I don’t care about my style, but that’s not true at all. Of course, clothes can speak about our wealth, our sense of taste, our personal traits, including those that we may not appropriate or accept in ourselves, I mean our shadow part. Having turned to a professional stylist for help, I realized that the consciously desired message that I was trying to convey to my client was realized through clothing in a completely different way for the most part. Namely, instead of saying with my appearance that I am a professional, as well as an understanding and accepting person, I said, I want!
