Bom delila z vami zapis, ki mi ga je poslala gospa Bernarda.
Pri njej sem bila prejšnji teden, ko sva skupaj prerešetali njeno omaro. Bernarda
je dobila darilni bon za to storitev od svoje hčerke, saj je bila ob polni omari
lepih oblačil večno nesrečna glede svojega videza. Na njenem meniju so
bile besede ‘debela’, ‘vedno v kavbojkah’ (kljub službi učiteljice) in ‘nič mi
ne paše’. Ko sem prišla k njej, sem videla, da ima tremo. Bilo jo je strah, da ji bom rekla, da nima res nič za obleči in da rabi vse novo. No, osredotočili sva se predvsem na kombinacije in outfite, ki sva jih
delali iz njenih oblačil, pri čemer sva upoštevali zakonitosti njene postave,
obarvanosti in delovnega mesta. Nisem sicer štela, a naredili (in pofotkali)
sva med 15 in 20 outfitov, torej bo Bernarda lahko takorekoč vsak delovni dan v
mesecu drugače oblečena, pri čemer ji v trgovino po nova oblačila sploh ni
treba stopiti. Najbolj sem bila vesela širokega nasmeška in besed »Pa to ne
morem verjet!« vsakokrat, ko se je v novi kombinaciji pogledala v ogledalo. Že takoj
naslednji dan po najinem svetovanju je v eni izmed kombinacij popolnoma
osupnila svoje prijateljice ;).

»Urice s Tino so bile zame rojstnodnevno darilo. Priznam, da
sem s težkim srcem pričakovala njen obisk. Zavedala sem se, da imam v omari še
kar nekaj lepih kosov oblačil, ko pa jih oblečem, se v njih zares ne počutim
dobro. Zakaj je bilo temu tako, vem sedaj, saj je Tina takoj videla, da
je moj “problem” veliko oprsje in tudi takoj znala odločno svetovati, kako naj
izkoristim pri oblačenju to “prednost”, katerih krojev naj se izogibam, kje se
lahko poigravam z vzorci in barvami. Najbolj pa sem hvaležna za to, da je iz
mojih kosov oblačil sestavila odlične kombinacije, vključno z modnimi dodatki
in čevlji. Pravzaprav je jutranja muka, kaj naj pa oblečem danes, postal
prijetna in kreativna naloga. In dan, ko se zaveš, da si videti “šik” in se tudi
zato dobro počutiš, zmore v življenje prinesti izpolnitev.«

Bernarda is one of my clients who got ‘wardrobe detox’ as a
birthday gift from her daughter. Bernarda has a closet full of clothes, yet she
was eternally dissatisfied with her looks and style. She told me she thought
she looked fat, nothing really suited her and that she spent most of her days
in jeans and a t-shirt, despite being a primary school teacher. As soon as I
arrived to her home, I noticed she was really nervous about our style session. She
thought I would tell her she had nothing to wear. What a surprise it was for
her when we started to make outfits out of her items and discovered that she in
fact had great clothes to choose from! Slowly I teached her what kind of style
suited her based in her body type and pointed out the mistakes she used to do
which made her feel heavier and bulkier than she really was. I lost count of
the outfits that we made, but I’m sure we made between 15-20 new outfits for
her. That means she can wear a different outfit to work every day five days a
week for a month without having to wear exactly the same outfit! The very next
day of our session she completely wowed her friends wearing a new combination. Here
is Bernarda’s experience in her own words:

»Hours that I spent with Tina were a birthday gift for me. I must admit I
almost dreaded her arrival. I was aware of having quite a few beautiful items
in my closet, but when I wear my clothes, I really don’t feel good in them.
Tina very quickly unleashed the mystery of why I felt bad in my clothes, namely
she saw that my problem area are my big breasts. She then pointed out how to
wear my clothes to minimize the appearance of my boobs and taught me what not
to wear in order to escape from disaster. She taught me about the right models,
colours and patterns for my body shape. Then we made numerous different
outfits, accessories included, which I’m really grateful for. Since her
arrival, the tiring morning routine of ‘dear God, what am I going to wear
today??’ has turned into a pleasant and creative task. And when one realizes
that one looks chic and feels that way, this is a great day filled with satisfaction.«
