The most important truth is that it is hard to know how to dress if you don’t know who you are dressing. You might be a great mom, a terrific businesswoman, or an accomplished skater, dancer, mountain climber, etc. But apart from that, what makes you you? In the morning session of the "Totally You" workshop we get to the heart of that.

Most women have a sense of who they are somewhere inside themselves, but they often find it difficult to express fully. Over the past 23 years of helping women get dressed, I have learned that many women can quickly tell you what they don’t like about themselves in great detail but when it comes to recognizing the parts that make them special, unique, and beautiful, words elude them. If any of this sounds familiar, then this morning session will be a real eye-opener for you:

• Your wardrobe looks more like your mother, best friend or the sales woman at your favorite store than you!
• You keep buying the same things over and over because you are unsure how to take the first step to explore something new (you’d rather be safe than sorry!).
• You are unsure as to what your “style” is and need some guidance and guidelines to help you sort through all the overwhelming choices in the stores.
• You keep making the same mistakes and don’t know why they don’t work for you.

During the morning session, we identify your internal beauty guide, and it is a fun, eye-opening experience. Don’t worry! There are no fancy rules to learn, no measurements taken, no critiques involved. It’s easy, non-judgmental, and you will come away with 4 descriptive words that are powerful beyond belief and that help you begin to create a personal style that reflects the true you!

Once you have identified your internal beauty guide (those are the 4 words you got in the morning session), you put what you learned into practice. The afternoon session of the "Totally You" group workshop is about making sure that your wardrobe, hair, and makeup choices express the real you. Learn to take your look from common to captivating, routine to radiant or mundane to magnificent. The possibilities are endless—enchanting and genuine because the new look encompasses your most wonderful traits.

In this interactive group session, we look at the clothing you bring to determine how to:

• Know when something works for you: what to look for (and what to avoid) in colors, styles and designs.
• Explore looks you like, that you dream of wearing, and begin to learn how to translate them into reality.
• Work with outfits in your existing wardrobe that frustrate you or feel incomplete and then transform them into beautiful expressions of you (or wave goodbye).
• Be a smart shopper and never again be at the mercy of salespeople wondering "Should I buy it or shouldn't I?" You'll know!
• Explore putting the finishing touches on an outfit to express your personality with pizzazz.

Lastly, we create fashion treasure maps – a visual affirmation of the wardrobe and personal style you are creating just for you! If you have never done something like this before it has amazing transformational powers!

In addition, you receive:

• Your own copy of my body image, self-esteem, and style home study program "Who Taught You How to Dress?" with bonuses, and access to the on-line forum (which gives you continued access to my input). ($227 value)

The Totally You workshop is a full-day intimate transformational workshop (lunch is included) that opens your eyes to new ways of looking at yourself, your wardrobe and your personal style. These are the first steps in creating the transformation you have always dreamed of.

Program Investment:

• $495 – Workshop only (includes lunch on the day of the workshop and your own copy of "Who Taught You How to Dress? to help you keep the transformation going!)

Please email Ginger with any questions or call the office at 617-625-5225.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Because there is a minimum number required to hold this seminar, there will be a cancellation policy. A full refund will be offered to those who cancel up until two weeks before the workshop. After that date, no refund will be offered unless your space can be filled with another participant (in which case you will receive a full refund)

• Out of control
• Stuck in a rut
• Non-existent

• The top 3 most important components (missing from many women’s wardrobes!) required to create a look you love and that works. (Imagine having a checklist to help you create an outfit that tells you when something works and when it needs a little fine-tuning.)
• How to align your inner and outer beauty (This is a hugely powerful exercise and a critical part of creating a personal style. In fact, it puts the “personal” in personal style!) If you ever feel like your wardrobe belongs in your mom’s, best friends, or co-worker’s closet rather than yours, then this exercise will change all that. You will learn how and why to say no to something that isn’t YOU so your wardrobe feels like an extension of who you are and not like some stranger you never met!
• When to let go of an outfit. So many women hang onto a garment for way too long because they figure there has to be a way to make it work but they just don’t know what it is. Wouldn’t it be so freeing to understand why something will or won’t so you can finally get rid of it or wear it with confidence?
• How to apply the “Art of Distraction” – Learn how to draw the eye away from a part of your body you would rather ignore and redirect the focus to a body part you appreciate.
• How to create good body balance and proportion. Sometimes even the frumpiest outfit has huge potential (and, sometimes it doesn’t!). Knowing how to balance YOUR body will give you invaluable information and help you make choices that work for you. – you’ll be surprised at how eye-opening this can be!
• Learn how to incorporate the K.I.S.S. style of dressing into your wardrobe for ease of dressing. Your wardrobe does not have to be complicated and overwhelming. Learn how to mix and match like a pro!
• Create a daily uniform that makes you smile. The #1 reason women come to me is that they just don’t know how to create a look they love for their basic every day, out and about wardrobe. We’ll look at how to take a wardrobe from t-shirts and jeans (or your equivalent) to something equally comfortable but immeasurably more stylish!
• The art of accessorizing – let’s talk jewelry, scarves, shoes, handbags… these are key components of a beautiful wardrobe. How do you incorporate them so they reflect your inner beauty, your lifestyle, your body shape, and your budget! We will have access to amazing jewelry and scarves – wait until you see this!
• Plan to bring several outfits with you that you want to work on (not your most favorites (although one of those doesn’t hurt!)) but things that you have questions about. This is THE time to get YOUR questions addressed in person and in a helpful, gentle and kind way.

The last one was so fabulous, we're doing it again...with added break-out sessions!

Here are just a few comments from women who were at the last workshop:

"I feel recharged!" - SG
"It was FABULOUS!" – Jane
"The variety of presenters and the positive approach from each was great!" - Shelley
"I loved the flirting session." - Lucy

Imagine for a moment that you've met the most wonderful man in the whole world. You have finally met your match, your life partner, your soul mate. When your eyes meet there's a "yes!" that tells you this is the one you've been waiting for. You feel a deep connection, a strong attraction, and are ready to open your heart.

Is this what you want to create in your life? Is this what you have been waiting for?

If so, you've come to the right place!

Topics include:
• How to write the perfect profile
• How to have successful relationships with men*
• How to charm your way to love and relationship
• How to dress for a date without ransacking your closet

This experiential workshop, offered by three leading experts in the fields of relationship and dating, will send you home with the power tools you need to manifest the relationship of your dreams.

"I loved the information that we got from each of the presenters. I also must admit that I loved being in the room with all of these marvelous women. There was such a wonderful spirit present."
- Andi

This is an event you do not want to miss! Join other women, like you, who intend to have the best year of their lives in 2010.

Saturday, October 23, 1-5:30 pm in Watertown, MA
(Check-in opens at 12:30 pm)

Already know you want to register?

Agenda: The afternoon is made up of three different workshop sessions (from 1p until approximately 3:30p), and then each presenter is offering a more hands-on break-out session to get into more of the "how-to" information that there's not enough time for during the workshop sessions. Those sessions will be offered between 3:30 and 5:30 and each participant can attend two separate sessions (you will be asked to sign up for those in advance once you register).

Click here for the break-out session info.

*I was invited to join this group of presenters and just want to clarify one thing. Although one woman’s area of expertise is “men,” the other two presentations are relevant to everyone – whether you date men, women or both – everyone is welcome.
