Raise Your Hand if You Think You Look Fat

Your not Alone!
Almost every woman I know thinks she looks fat - even women who exercise ever day, eat nothing but salads or juice, and wear a size 6 or less!  In the 25 years I have been in the business of 'image transformation' I have yet to meet a woman who has fully accepted herself for who she is!  I refer to it as "our stuff" regardless if it is all in your head of physically on your ass!  STUFF!
The truth is, I think I am fat too!  I can't stand that I have gained weight in the past few years, I am always searching for ways to lose that final 10 pounds; sound familiar?
As women, I think we all carry around three different weight numbers; the number of pounds we would like to weigh (in our dreams), the number we can live with comfortably, and the number that makes us feel like we are fat.  I am certain you know what I mean.  I know my numbers, and you know yours.  And even though the number that makes me feel fat is within the normal range for my body type "it is what it is in our minds", and can make a huge difference in how we feel and how we approach the world each day.

My passion is to assist women feel better about themselves, to raise their self esteem, to empower them with their own personal tool box of tips and tricks to make them feel like a rock star!  I began my business with the purpose of raising others up; knowing that as I empower others, it helps me with my own "stuff" - nothing is more rewarding than recognizing the best qualities in others and helping them to see and believe it themselves.

As I approach my 47th birthday my vision and purpose has become more clear - to assist as many woman as possible to believe in themselves - to provide the tools and support to our youth in order to raise strong, passionate, and caring young women.  To create programs, workshops and 'self esteem' camps across the globe.....

Growing up with less than a positive sense of self I know how hard it can be to truly believe in ones ability, in her own inner beauty, and in her self worth.....my goal as I grow The Power of Style is to help as many women as possible to see their own inner beauty.

And that is...............The Power of Style

What's Stopping You......

What’s stopping you from having someone help you to complete your closet intervention and helping you with your style?  Until I met Jackie, I didn’t realize I needed help and thought it was an invasion of my personal space.  But now, I see it as essential and realize there’s nothing to be afraid of!

 

Jackie completed my closet intervention and then took me shopping.  What I thought would be a chore turned out to be a really fun experience.  I love my newly organized closet, which is no longer cluttered with those things I thought I’d wear one day or had been hanging onto for years because they were either a gift or an expensive purchase.  Jackie gave me that push I needed to let go of certain things and had so many practical tips and invaluable advice for the neat things I already owned but wasn’t wearing.  With a few minor alterations and ideas for combining pieces, Jackie’s helped me to create many fashionable new outfits with the items I already had!

 

Having Jackie shop with me really helped me to understand my style and I love how she helped me choose items that completed the gaps in my wardrobe.  And if you're worried about spending the money on a stylist, don't be.  Jackie’s help has actually saved me tons.

 

Jackie is passionate about what she does and makes the experience all about you.  One of the things I appreciated the most is that she doesn’t judge and I felt comfortable with her throughout.   I am grateful to have met Jackie and to have received the benefit of her gift of style.  The experience and her advice is lasting and has made all the difference! 

 

 

 

Testimonial for Jackie Hickson

"Jackie is truly one of a kind. She has exceptional style and an eye for fashion. One of her greatest assets is that she is able to customize the shopping experience to your needs and personal style to enhance your overall experience. I was really set in my own ways, limiting many styles and colors to my wardrobe. Jackie helped me break through my one dimensional way of thinking and showed me how to add to my current wardrobe. I actually dreaded shopping before meeting Jackie. I found myself buying things just to get something, and repeatedly buying the same styles. Jackie has actually helped me build an eye for what works for my body, wearing pieces to build an outfit, and feeling good about what I buy and wear. Not only is she a great personal shopping companion, but a pleasure to be around. There is no awkwardness, its just like shopping with your friend who has great style and insight."
