Like most Triangle moms, Coleman is busy juggling the demands of full-time work in
a competitive industry and family life — a lifestyle that has taken a toll on her “inner fashionista.”
Enthusiastic and eager to learn, Coleman set off on her makeover adventure with
the help of Carolina Parent magazine and image consultant Mary Michele Little.
See the steps below for Janine's transformation and watch the video. Read more
in our "A New Look for a Busy Mom" article.
BEFORE
Step One: Focus on the Face
Step Two: Clean Out the Closet
Step Three:
Creating Wow from Now
The first step of Coleman's
makeover was to analyze what
colors work best for her.
When it came time for Coleman’s
closet audit, Littlehad two goals; the
first was to clear out anything that
didn’t work well for her or didn’t fit.
Even with a reduced closet inventory, Coleman ended up with several new outfits because Little showed her fresh ways to create looks by shopping in her own closet.
Step Four: Filling in the Gaps
Step Five: Personal Polish
AFTER
What Coleman needed, and what most women need, are not tons more clothes, but the right clothes.
Justin Dare at Glam Lounge added
sun-kissed highlights to her deep
brown hair, and cut a chic and
easy-to-maintain bob perfect for the office as well as weekends.
Coleman's new look allows her to put
her best face forward and present a polished, professional image at work
while also looking great on date night
and stylish when taking her children to their various activities and events.
