What is a Shopping Tour with a Personal Stylist?

Shopping Tour with Personal Stylist
As any recipient of well intentioned shopping advice, will tell you, you almost always end up buying something that isn’t your style or color. While they gush ?You look great!? you doubtfully consider yourself in the mirror but encouraged by the positive words you shrug and discount your inner voice, which is screaming at you not to buy it. Not so, with a Personal Shopper or Stylist. Their aim is to find the perfect items for your coloring and body shape.
Five tips so you can take advantage of your time with a Personal Shopper or Stylist:
- Know your personal color determination and personal color swatch
- Have a style portfolio completed by a Professional Image Consultant
- Know your fashion personality or fashion style ie classic, dramatic or sexy
- Complete a wardrobe audit and know what garments you need to add to your wardrobe
- Be ready to incorporate new season styles into your wardrobe
Be prepared is the mantra for any good shopping day.
Three things to keep in mind when shopping:-
- Your best colors are more dominant during that season. A Soft Autumn shopping during winter, may have a smaller selection to chose from. When you know your personal colors, shopping becomes an easy process. A quick check whether your colors are available and your on your way again.
- Seasons can be dominated by one fashion style. As seen last summer, very feminine pieces were everywhere, which was great if you have a feminine fashion style. Not so good for a traditional classic looking for work wear. However, when a new fashion style comes into fashion, challenge yourself by try on a few styles in your colors. You could be surprised!
- Often a style dominates a season which is very flattering for a certain body shape and not others. Baby doll dresses aren’t for everyone, unless you know how to break the rules and it?s appropriate to break them.
With these in mind be prepared to add seasonal accessories or basics into your wardrobe, rather than major investment pieces. Particularly, if the season is dominated by colors or styles which just aren’t you. Finding a few pieces which you love and wear often is always better than a wardrobe full of doubt.

What our client’s have said:
Personal shopping is an intimate experience, you want a person to be sensitive to your needs, understand your body and what clothes bring out your best features, you want someone that you feel comfortable with and Pina, Jump the Q’s Snr Personal Stylist definitely ticks all those boxes. I loved Pina from the moment I met her, she made me feel comfortable and understood my needs. Pina is the most kind hearted, intelligent and knowledgeable person and designer I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
I was amazed at how good I felt trying on clothes, some even designer clothes that never fit me before and somehow looked really good on me. It was surprising that items of clothing that I would have never even looked at previously, looked incredible on. I just needed the eyes of a professional teaching me what to look for.
I caught up with family and friends after the shopping experience and they commented that I had changed in some way, that I was much happier and looked younger and refreshed. I had a personal parade with friends in my new clothes, they commented on how much slimmer I looked. It’s amazing what miracles clothing can do for you when your wearing the right thing.
I’ve had a truly life changing experience.
