As the end of the summer was approaching, I said it was time for me to get a "new look" and asked my friend Laura for some advice.
She agreed to take me out shopping and we spent a few hours going to different stores and trying on everything from jeans to shirts to work clothes to shoes.
Some guys have a great fashion sense, others know the basics but need some help (me) and others are completely clueless.
Laura said "Jay, you have the color matching down pat, but your clothes just don't seem to fit right. You need help with the cut. Your jeans don't fit right in the butt. You also need to mess up your hair a little."
The end result was that I bought 2 pairs of jeans (that fit right), 3 pullover shirts, two button down shirts and a few sports coats. I was comfortable with everything purchased, but did leave a few suggested items out (they were just not me). We ran out of time, so I didn't get to ask her about the hair style suggestion or shoes, so that will come next.
I wore my new outfits over the next few days and felt like a million bucks.
As we were shopping, the light bulb went off. There are a LOT of other guys that could benefit from getting a new look and I am helping Laura start up a business for it.
Bottom Line
Guys, years ago women were burned at the stake for being "witches." It was not that they were witches, it was that they were just so intuitive and things came so naturally to them, that took us guys a lot to learn.
So, if what you are doing now is not working with attracting women, MAKE A CHANGE. An easy way is to ask a trusted female friend to give you her honest advice on your look and take you out shopping.
If you do not have a female friend you trust to do this with, Laura is available to go shopping with you, and give you an honest opinion on your "look."
She is available in Nassau and Suffolk only at this time. She charges $99 for up to two hours.
For a very limited time, any guys who sign up for this package will also get a free regular speed dating ($40 value) event thrown in (but you must wear your new clothes to the event).
Ladies, I am curious to know if you think there is a market to offer these services to ladies as well?

Hey Jay.. I like this story.. I would have taken you shopping too!! I definitely think there is a need for both men and women to take advantage of a service like this.
Need I say more than the word...biblical? Who do you think gave Adam the fig leaf? He was walking around wearing a pineapple, but with every step he took he would cry out, "Ouch! Ouch!" The look was bad (and painful)until Eve and her fashion sense walked over to him with a soft, comfortable and well-fitting fig leaf. The rest, as they say, is history!
I have received several comments from both men and women expressing interest and asking a few common questions.
Q)Is Laura a professional image consultant?
A) Laura is not a professional image consultant (otherwise the cost would be much higher). She is just a very intuitive gal who really understands fashion and clothing.
Q)Where would you go shopping?
A)You and Laura would decide that ahead of time. A lot could depend on your size (some stores have greater selection for big/tall and others for smaller sizes). Additionally she will talk to you about budget. She can take you to stores you already frequent, the brand name department stores, or to some of the discount stores (where you you get the brand names at a fraction of the price). Each scenario will be different.
Hey Jay
I will be seeing you tomorrow night & I am anxious to see the "new you". Honestly, I am very "in tune" ( I even worked in an exclusive men's clothing store at one time) to a man's appearance - VERY _ especially his clothes (and body type) & I never thought you looked bad. I just hope you don't wear sneakers!
