Selling clothes from past photo shoots!

Hey everyone, 

So I am slowly setting up my list4all site and selling (of best offer) the garments I have accumulated. 

Everything here has either been used a few times or none. 

Have any questions about any products feel free to ask!

An outfit for work

Outfit of the day! #Trendabl 

maxi skirt inherited by my mother with a white lace top and jean jacket. perfect outfit for the on and off weather we had today. and yes that is the aldo back room.

Wednesdays always seem to be the longest day of the week since i go to school and then work but one thing to be happy about was that i have my fashion marketing final today and thank god i passed!

a little rant from a stylist: J2clothing Store

as a freelance stylist, you take your own risks when borrowing or buying clothing for different shoots. This particular one was a mens shoot. I had bought some of the garments from a few stores that I usually go to and then thought of checking out J2 (not naming the store location) and see if they had anything that would work well with my look.

i had found some pieces, got some really nice advise from the sales people and i told them it was for a photo shoot and that i was RETURNING them after. they say ..."oh yeah yeah sure"

after the shoot I head back to the same store to return the items. the sales person at the counter, who was there the same day i bought the items who knew that i would be returning said "we don't do refunds, exchange only"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

i was left with a huge credit that i would never use...sigh

so my lessons

1. don't buy from J2

2. don't use them for shoots

3. read the fine print (although the sales person did tell me i could 'return')

alright that is all for now,

Furious Dom

pictures of the shoot coming soon! (something i can look forward too) 

Image Consultation Make Over

I had the opportunity to do an image consultation with a client and take her shopping to find an outfit that best suited her personality, age and lifestyle. Together another stylist, Amanda Friesen, we collaborated to distinguish what look good and what looked terrible. after a day of shopping and trying on clothes after clothes after clothes, we finally put together an outfit the complimented her body, her personality and is versatile for many occasions. After our shopping day, we had a professional photo shoot to show off her new look!

Check out the before and after pictures!
