Do you have a closetful of clothes but nothing to wear?
Do you feel guilty about spending money on clothes?

When you shop, do you have direction, or do you wander aimlessly through the store? Are you sure that everything you buy will be smashing and will blend with the rest of your wardrobe?
Can you pack one suitcase for a two-week trip?
Do you buy too much makeup, or no makeup at all, because you aren’t sure what is just right for you?
