It's no secret that I'm fashion-challenged. I've never liked shopping for clothes, and I've never been interested in fashion. Being colorblind makes clothing selection particularly tough for me. I also stick with cruelty-free clothing only, which rules out leather and wool.
After losing some weight last year, most of my clothes are too big now, so it's time to assemble a new wardrobe anyway. I figured this might be a good time to get help creating a wardrobe that's a better fit for me instead of just stumbling ahead blindly. I never quite felt comfortable with most of the selections I made in the past, but I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.
Another problem is that I married a woman who's also fashion-challenged and who doesn't like shopping for clothes either. So no help there.
Do you think it would be worthwhile to work with an image consultant? Do you know anything about that? Is there any substance to it, or it is just fluff? Should I just get help from friends who dress well and who aren't colorblind?
Basically I'd like to put together a wardrobe that feels like a good expression of the real me. I don't want to project a false image for branding purposes or anything like that. The problem is that I have a hard time finding clothes that seem right to me.
If you know something about this subject, any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
