EMPOWERED SELF COLLAGE: my interview questions...

(1) Which clothes would you wear/choose/look for if money were no object and a magic genie would bring them to you?

LOVE jeans! Casual, hard to mess up, last a long time, don't get wrinkled. So would get MORE JEANS. But she also would get new clothes to wear to church, and those would be dresses and suits. The dresses would be slim with no flare, and might have matching jackets and be made of soft material. Suits would be navy blue. What would be the perfect top? A polo shirt.

(2) Which words come to mind when I ask you to think about your Empowered Self? What would your Empowered Self wear? Where would she live?

Words: loves children, powerful, determined, stubborn, wise, fights for what what is right, stands up for what is right, can conquer whatever needs to be conquered and is willing to do it.

Wear: jeans, pants, pantsuits

NOTE: I created my mother's Empowered Self Collage because her vision is very impaired.

INTENTION: What would you change about your life if you could? How would it be different?

More money, more financially stable. Then everything would fall into place.


CLOTHING:

LOVE & WEAR: blue jeans and t-shirts

LOVES BUT DOESN'T WEAR: the gowns she used to wear to college functions when she was a college professor. She never wore makeup, except for lipstick, but did enjoy dressing up for special occasions. They are going to be donated, except for maybe one or two.

SHOULD LOVE: she couldn't think of anything, but said if there were such a thing, it's already in one of her bags of clothes to donate.

DISLIKES: same thing; she said if there were any, they would be in one of the bags of clothes to donate, but she couldn't think of anything.

RECOMMENDATIONS...

All roads point to a combination of Wood and Metal for my mom. Her primary Essence seems to be Wood with influencing support from Metal. So in order to for her to really enjoy and love what she wears, it needs to be casual and comfortable, but also classy. My mother is the kind of person who gets dressed from head to toe even if she is not expecting company. But the outfit she puts on will include a pair of jeans!

I recommend that her wardrobe consist mostly of jeans and t-shirts but they need to be of good quality. For color, the greens, blues, ivories, tans and beiges and paler colors in her color palette are best. For church, she wears dresses and suits, but they will need to be comfortable and the jackets need to be elongated.

Pantsuits would be ideal but she does not allow that because "one doesn't wear pants to church."

Because her Intention is to improve her financial situation, I suggest that every outfit have Metal in it, even if it is just round silver or gold earrings.
