Colour Confidence
Ok so you have been dreaming about that date for days, weeks months even ! And when you least expect it when you are having a bad hair day and feeling a little over weight you receive an unexpected invitation to a social event. Your best friend has set you up on a blind date.
No need to panic ! But you do - what shall I wear, I want to make a good first impression, I want to boost my confidence.
Stay calm - think about the last time you went out and really enjoyed yourself - what did you wear? Why did you pick that outfit? Why did that outfit make you feel good - is it because you had compliments every time you wore it or is it because you bought it as one of those I'll slim into it outfits and great news is you can now fit into it.
What ever the reason you like this outfit - if it makes you feel good wear it. Chances are you will be youself and be much more comfortable. If you don't like dresses or sports jackets then ditch them. Find out the following:
Where is the date taking you? Is it out in the country, a local pub or a posh restaurant - this way you can think about appropriate footwear - don't want to find yourself walking down a country lane in your high heals or best brogues now do we !
What time will you be meeting - will you have time to dash home from work first or will you have to take a change of clothes to the office.
Are you going out for just drinks or a meal? Make sure you will be comfortable in what you pick - you don't want a button popping off.
Find out what your date does for a living - then you will already know something about them and find it easier to start chatting.
Are you planning to stay out late - do you need to take something warm to wear for later on in the evening.
If you feel the need to buy something new - take a trusted friend with you who will be honest about how you look, or get them to pop round a few days earlier to help you check out your wardrobe.
Will you be on your own - or are there a few people - for some of us meeting someone on our own can be daunting but in a group we are fine. If you know whats coming you can be prepared.
Not sure what colour suits you - excuse the pun - then take professional advice invest in an image consultation where you will find out which colours and styles of clothing really flatter your skin tone and build.
And for anyone who thinks this doesn't happen - it did to me 4 years ago a blind date out of the blue and guess what we are still together !! Just goes to show how strong first impressions can be.
