First Impressions: Dressing for Impact by Patti Morrison (130 pages, $15)
There is no doubt that we all make certain assumptions about someone as soon as we meet them.
How you present yourself can enhance or detract from the impression you are trying to create. Patti Morrison has helped people with their image for more than 25 years, first with her North Vancouver clothing store, Compliment Fashions, and then working one-on-one as an image strategist.
In this book, Morrison shares her assessment techniques and offers advice on how to plan your wardrobe and overcome roadblocks that get in the way of moving towards a new look. There are plenty of tips about fashion sense, working with your own shape, and recognizing the styles that work and the ones that don't.
It is not just about fashion and the clothes you choose; Morrison guides readers through conversations about personal grooming, shopping for accessories, and clearing out closets.
With clear language and positive messages throughout, Morrison aims to help everyone look their best and be perceived in the best possible way through the impression they make.
