Its
fall!! All the new fall fashions
are in the stores. How do you determine
which clothing styles look best
on your body?
To help you find the clothes that
define and enhance your look, I
have created a 10 point list of
ideas to keep in mind when shopping
for clothes and putting your look
together.

•
Coloring - If your coloring is warm (gold
undertones) choose warm colors; however if your
coloring is cool (blue undertones) choose cool
colors.
• Curved Face - If the shape of
your face is oval or curved, then the inside
lines of the garment and accessories should
also be curved.
• Angular Face - If the shape of your
face is angular, then the inside lines of the
garment and accessories should also be angular.
• Defined Waist - If you have a
definite waist, the line of the garment should
also have a defined waist.
• No Waist - If you do not have
a definite waist or boyish figure, the line
of the garment should be straight waisted.
• Tight Clothing - If you see horizontal
pulls or creases, the clothing is too tight
fitting.
• Large Clothing - If you see vertical
folds or creases, the fit of the garment is
too large.
• Horizontal Lines - stop the eye's
vertical movement. They can cut you in half
and make areas of your figure you look bigger
by emphasizing that spot.
• Vertical Lines - elongate and
vertically divide. A vertical line from top
to bottom can make you appear taller.
• Your Fit - If you cannot find
clothing that fits all over, have the garments
altered or have clothing tailored just for you.

You're
an image-conscious person or you wouldn't be reading
Joy's newsletter. You have come to Design With
Joy because you want your image to uniquely
fit your business and your personality, and to
support your goals.
Where,
in addition to your clothing, do you need that
"perfect fit" to convey the right image?
More and more, people's first contact is an electronic
contact over the internet. People are likely to
read your email before they ever see you in person.
What kind of image are your email messages
conveying? Here
are 7 guidelines for conveying an electronic image
that will "fit" your business and professional
goals:
1. Stand out instantly with excellent grammar,
spelling, and complete sentences!
2. Respond rapidly-use auto-responders where necessary.
3. Be brief and get to the main point immediately-in
your first sentence.
4. Employ strong headlines so the reader with
100 emails can skim yours and quickly get the
point. They'll thank you!
5. Thank liberally.
6. Give your reader one targeted compliment.
7. Turn your signature stamp into a brief, meaningful
tag line that summarizes your business philosophy.
Follow
these seven guidelines and your electronic image
will always shine, and by the time your reader
sees you in your outfit designed by Joy, you will
