Hello deer, this is Seri šø
Iām the main character of my life.
Iāll spend every day with myself, inside my head, inside my body so I want it to feel like a kind place to live. Life is already hard enough.
For a long time, I didnāt know who I was. I copied what others wore, followed trends that didnāt fit my personality, and often felt lost in my own reflection. Everything changed when I started a journey to be myself and discovered the world of image consulting ; not as a career path, but as a tool for self-discovery.
Understanding my image wasnāt about fixing myself. It was about learning how to be gentle with whatās already here.
šUnderstanding yourself visually is powerful:
Image consulting is helping people improve their appearance, behavior, and communication to create a strong, confident impression. Itās like personal branding making sure you look, speak, and carry yourself in a way that matches your goals.
Learning about body types (morphology), color analysis, and style identities helped me make peace with how I looked.
It wasn't about fixing myself. It was about working with what I have, not against it.
Wearing what suits you = confidence without effort.
When you know what enhances your silhouette, your colors, your aura, you feel comfortable, and that comfort shows.
I started to feel more grounded, more āin my skin,ā because I dressed in harmony with myself.
šFinding your style is finding your voice:
Soft, feminine, delicate? Strong, bold, classic? The clothes we wear tell a story.
Image consulting helped me write mine with fabrics, cuts, and colors.
Itās not superficial, itās psychological:
Style is part of nonverbal communication. The way you show up visually reflects how you value yourself.
Dressing with intention creates a kind of quiet self-respect.
You can learn it yourself:
I studied it on my own: books, guides, experimenting in front of the mirror.
Itās about observing, adjusting, and being curious about yourself.
Understanding my image didnāt just make me look better, it made me feel more real.
In a world that often pressures us to blend in, image consulting gave me permission to stand out not loudly, but truly.
šImage Consulting advices :
In 2025, I took a new Image consulting test.
The first one was in 2018, before AI.
šš» Clothes that suit my face and aura.
šš» Outfit that match my aura.
šYou donāt have to follow the ārules.ā
You understand them so you can choose them or break them, with intention.
Image consulting gives you a framework:
- š·āThis cut flatters your shape.ā
- š·āThese colors bring out your skin tone.ā
-š· āThis style matches your energy.ā
But these are tools, not cages.
If wearing black makes you feel powerful, even if itās not your āideal color,ā then wear it.
If a certain silhouette doesnāt match your type but makes you feel joyful, go for it.
The goal is harmony, not perfection.
Once you know what works for you, you gain the freedom to express yourself with awareness instead of confusion.
So no, you donāt have to follow the rules. You learn them, then you decide:
Do I want to follow them today, or play with them? Either way, itās your expression.
šHow image consulting can shape both personality and behavior:
š1. More confidence in social settings.
Example: Imagine someone who always wore oversized clothes to hide their body. Through image consulting, they discover cuts that flatter their shape without feeling exposed. When they see themselves in a more balanced silhouette, they feel better, stand taller, and are more willing to speak up or engage socially.
š2. Clearer boundaries
Example: When someone chooses an outfit that truly reflects who they are say, calm colors and elegant lines, they're more likely to behave consistently with that identity. Dressing intentionally helps them feel entitled to say ānoā to situations or people that donāt align with them. Style becomes a silent declaration of who you are and what you accept.
š3. Better posture and presence.
Example: When you feel that your clothes suit your body, your coloring, and your personality, you naturally walk differently, more grounded, more open. Someone who always slouched might unconsciously correct their posture when they feel beautiful and put together.
š4. Greater self-awareness
Example: Through color analysis, someone realizes they feel calmer and more authentic in muted tones. That realization can lead to deeper questions like, Why do I feel overwhelmed in loud colors? or What am I trying to say with how I dress?This reflection improves their relationship with themselves and how they express their emotions.
Discovering my visual identity wasnāt about chasing perfection, it was about making peace with myself.
Through image consulting, I learned to see myself with more kindness, to understand what truly suits me, not to fit a standard, but to feel more like me.
Itās not about following rules. Itās about knowing yourself well enough to choose.
When you dress in harmony with who you are, confidence flows quietly, naturally.
You donāt have to stand out loudly, just show up truly.
And that, to me, is where real beauty begins.
