My first client was Claire, a 44 year old mother of three. She wanted a wardrobe consult to help bring her "mom" style into the now. She has also lost some weight caused by a medical problem. She wanted to learn how to dress for her body type. The first thing we did was go through her closet and empty it of anything that was out of date, worn looking, or ill-fitting. Next, I taught her the basics on how to dress her for her body type.
The Body Type: Claire has a pear shaped body. Meaning, she is wider through the hips and has very narrow shoulders. The goal is to create symmetry by drawing the eye upwards and creating some broadness across her shoulders. I told her to look for pants with a straight leg. When you find the widest part of the hip, make sure the pants go straight from there. A tapered leg will only accentuate the wideness of the hips and throw off what we are doing up top. For tops, she needs to look for good necklines (v-shaped, scoop, or ballet) and high waistlines. She feels a bit self-conscious about her mid-section, and we can mask that with a wrap top or high waist with a tie or belt.
The Outfit: Claire had several casual outfits that worked great for her. So, for the outfit we chose 
when shopping, we decided to chose something a bit dressier that she could wear on a date with her husband. We chose a great satin top in a royal blue color. The sleeves give her shoulders some width and draw the eye upwards. Since the top is not very fitted, we added a belt at her narrowest point. For the pant, we chose a straight leg pant with a subtle gray and black plaid pattern. The straight leg helps camouflage her hips and give her some height. We accessorized with a three strand necklace in blue and metallic black beads and matching earrings. The resulting look was slimming, modern, and age-appropriate for this young mother.
