The Power of Colour

Colour affects every moment of our lives even though most of our colour choices are unconscious. Colour subconsciously plays an important role in the psychology of humans. It can be a major persuasion factor in our emotions and it can seriously raise our mood or bring us down, especially if we have associated a colour with a particular idea, event or person. Even the colours in the natural world have a predictable general effect on people.
Colour is reflective, so when worn near the face it reflects up onto the skin hair and eyes.
Colour can enhance or detract from a person’s appearance.
Colour can be advancing or retreating; depending on the value and intensity of colour it can appear to make an area larger or smaller.
Colour is emotional; the colours around us can change our moods, make us more or less active, productive, amorous and even glamorous.
Colour can affect us physiologically; colours act upon the body and the mind.
Colour has the power to evoke psychological reactions.

What sort of Coffee are You???

WHAT SORT OF COFFEE ARE YOU?
Because it is something that most people consume, coffee is a great way to illustrate the power of image.

Moccona has a very good reputation and is priced at a premium. It is in an attractively shaped glass bottle dressed with a gold wrapper. It feels substantial when held. It is quick and easy to make plus it tastes good. It also is very consistent.

Home Brand on the other hand has a dubious reputation. It looks plain and cheap. It has no handling appeal and commonly tastes ordinary and cannot be relied upon.

Looking at both jars of coffee, which one appeals most to you. Which one would you choose based on its image only?

When we think about certain trade marks and icons such as Disneyland and Coca Cola, immediately we get a picture of what those words represent. What sort of picture or impression do you wish to leave when meeting someone for the first time, going to an interview or when you are just out and about?
We have less than 7 seconds to make an impression which means our clothes are the most powerful form of non verbal communication.
Our clothes are speaking... what are you clothes saying about you???

Your Image Matters

What is Image?
One definition of image is: The perception held by the public about a person, product or organisation.
Everyday we unconsciously decide who and what we bring into our lives; from the products we buy to whom we choose to be friends with and do business with. We live in a fast moving world and now have to make snap decisions based on our intuition. Thus the perception of others can make or break careers, concepts and organisations.
Portraying the right image is vitally important. What we wear has a direct effect on how we feel and how we project ourselves. Our image influences our thinking, our feelings and our behaviour, but most of all how others interact with us. Our image affects their thoughts, feelings and behaviour also.
Opportunities are gained and lost based solely on another’s first impression of us. The type of clothes we wear, how they are worn and the condition they are in all speaks volumes about who we are.
Clothes are powerful universal elements of non-verbal communication that say many things about who we are and what we are like, where we have come from and where we are going.
Improving your image will not only maximise your potential for greatness but give you the results you desire to achieve your goals and dreams.

Change is GOOD!!

Change is good.

Many of us can be opposed to change because we like routine, structure and formats. Being stuck in a paradigm however, can also cause limitations both internally and externally, especially when it comes to image.

It may take the smallest thing to bring change to your appearance which will make an impact to the way you look. Most of my clients come to me because they are either stuck in a style rut or simply have lost their confidence when it comes to fashion. When you recognise the time for change and are willing to implement some rules of line and design for your particular shape, you will enhance and improve your image. Styledge is about revolutionising the way you dress forever and maximising your potential. Let’s face it girls, our clothes speak. What do you want your clothes to say about you?

The most important factors you have to consider when updating your look are :

1 Your lifestyle.

2 Age appropriate.

3 Your personality.

4 Your goals.

I am convinced that having your own personal colour and style consultation will not only empower you, it will also help you achieve the best look for you. You will be well equipped for life and know exactly what will look hot and what will not.

It is so simple, and you are worth it!
