Hiring your own stylist can be game changer .A stylist isn’t there to force you into new trends or expensive stuff. The job a stylist is to help you understand what clothing pieces are right for you. A stylist plays dress up with you, in order to help you find the perfect look for your body type. Experts say when people feel attractive or feel good about themselves in general, they are more likely to exude confidence and a positive attitude. Hiring a professional stylist may be an expense but it
will help in the end, when you put your personal brand on the market, it will give you the competitive edge you need.
