here today a thing you know as welcome to the studio you see that tell us a little bit about her journey to get to this weight loss and how you want to make some fashion changes and we're here to help you new style new you so you lost this weight tell us a little bit about the timeline and why you wanted to become thinner healthier the whole thing well originally my daughter was going to going to can a garden and now she's in college but of goes but i decided that i didn't want her going into college i don't want to go into kindergarten with a heavy mommy because i felt like if the kids and make fun of her they would pick on you know all the heavy mom and i wanted to be the cool mom yeah ok so that's when i started i actually started weight watchers and along with weight watchers working out every day and before i knew it the pounds thank god just came off they just like we have the picture here  before there is a huge difference and you're really is and we think it's wonderful but it couldn't be easy i mean where there are setbacks i mean it doesn't seem very easy it's you know what weight loss is never easy and i you know also right i mean i really just you know i became obsessed with exercise and eating healthy i mean my kids joke that i know the point of every calorie by going from weight watcher of every item i eat but you know it's the kind of thing where is it is it's a constant battle you know i always have to watch what i eat and make sure i really does it i mean you know especially as we get a little older i mean i think you know we're all kind of facing that where we have to watch a little bit if we can maybe pick out like we used to do so but it's  very nice i love the fact that the motivation was your children and you're also giving them a very good example you know just healthy living and i think that's so wonderful and maybe that's why the motivation was so big power of work yes and it's true and you know i wanted to be able to run after them and off for fifteen years is that the real goal in the first thing let's get back to fashion so how did you dress before you lost the way did you always wear everything oversized over a little ok so we went to hear this with i guess women who don't feel very confident  bodies that they were everything oversized or glad black and dark colored are the yes right and even not so much recently but even when i go into stores still i will put on the bigger size and when i come out someone will say oh you could do that in the smalle make and i still don't see that like i still you kind of still want to hide yourself you know and it's a shame and i think no matter what size you are you shouldn't hide yourself i'm so glad that fashion is embracing you know all different sizes now because they're saying when i was a kid yes they did offer that you know you have one store you can shop in and the clothes are very matronly very like you know from yeah you know what i think yeah i did one level you know they always say that when you work out you should wear clothes that you feel good in because you actually have a better work out if you do that so you know i'm thinking even with designers that are making clothes for heavier girls that it's actually maybe a motivation that if you can wear these clothes it might even motivate you to lose weight that want to continue to wear day i was in the gym and a woman said how she loved my alf and i said oh it's a little lemon she said oh they don't make for my size and i said and i went online and i actually wrote them a letter saying you know that i really think that they should embrace and they wrote me that very nice letter but at that time they weren't interested in doing it and literally last week i got an e mail that they're now going up to a size fourteen which i wish it was bigger and bigger i didn't know about it but i my friend went on i told her about it and she went on the site and actually it was sold at the fourteen's were all sold out and i said exactly that's a great that sold great so i guess it all comes back to feeling good about yourself and you know i guess you know being part of like the stylish fashion world no matter what size you are exactly right but here you are looking so wonderful and we are ready to take you out of that comfort zone you don't need to just the baggy clothes and a war or you can a lack of a you look adorable as i mean but we don't know you you know and we know that you don't always just dress this way but like you said sometimes you still get probably get in that head afraid to try certain you know what i like is that we styled stacy and today we're going to have stacy go out and get into her first love because they're fun and stylish and a little bit out of her comfort zone but i think you're going to see that message there's so many messages here it doesn't have to be just a message for people who want to lose weight i think getting out of your comfort zone whatever that is is so important you know whether it's a lifestyle or you know we all get in our fashion ruts no matter what our size is we wear the same thing we tend to always buy the same thing and i don't know if it's you know we're scared or we don't want to be noticed you know a lot of people don't want to know and so i stylists and you know me did i have to discuss this in length before no matter what size you are even if you are a size two model right there are insecurities and body parts that everybody has and it doesn't matter who we believe yet so we have work with celebrities yes models the most beautiful women and honestly that is that you have retreated so this is a good time to just tell everybody out there it's you have to just feel so good about yourself you have to find a way to feel and it's not awesome  easy and it's you know we always talk about the fashion stuff and it's really not about the fashions it's the fashions can help sometimes elevate your mood or just give a little bit of a pep in your step yes but it really comes from within and it's not like i mean it sounds so clich but it really does from the inside sure we've said this before that the girl or the person who has the most confidence will get noticed will probably look the best when you're out and it doesn't really matter what she's wearing necessarily although you know we love fashion but it's mostly about the way what she's exuding and the way she feels about so he has a question i mean i think been dealing with the answer right away because we've heard this a number of times in the world that we travel and what's the one thing a woman should fall believe it or not they're calling it the beautiful floral trend the darker florals right the darker floral this looks amazing because it had the pops of color and i love the synch ways because it gives a very nice silhouette you look beautiful it has the longer sleeve maybe some of skin peaks and in so that end of the cold shoulder is a feel good about but this really i mean this is really showing off your new figure and to take this from day to night from a day to a dinner or to you know to a function so it's so that's looks really nice that you see trends like every season you start hearing about what the trends are whether it's metallic or western fringe florals and i think that we've found that our heavier clients tend to shy away from those trends because they feel like it's not it's not going to be for me you know they don't want they feel like again i guess you know that right there are things or they think it's for him all the runways and the model and you don't have to be perfect sometimes for your flaw  is the most interesting thing about you and you know i'm loving because we just came back from new york fashion week and the runways and this is been going on for a few seasons now the models on the runways are all different i love that they're doing it is the way it's excited about it because they i made a lot and they look stunning it will get it healthier it was no less stunning on the bigger model than it was on the small amount so everything about it was just much on iran a hundred percent so we have another look for you guys this is great again the long sleeves yeah the razzle in beautiful colors especially coble yes stacy oh my gosh well i mean again we're going to come back to women tend to love to work you know where black we talk about the l b d i mean it has its own little like nickname already the little black dress the l b d because it's so popular and there's a place for that in everybody's wardrobe of course don't get rid of your black dresses jumpsuits whatever but you need pumps of color to really stand out and shine and i mean colors like this i think we're seeing a lot of colors this fall maybe that we haven't seen it in a while a lot of  reds lot of pops of red a lot of yellows we saw in the spring in the detail on a barren gold yes that's making it a little bit more gold i guess for the fall but don't be afraid to show off in the colors but i have a question for you paul ok because we are you know big believers yes and wearing color experimenting with color but there are color that you've worn that you've said ok not again i think that does happen but personally for myself yeah well ok we've talked about this before that usually are different shades of every color i do believe probably something to work for everybody but there certainly are better colors and colors i feel more comfortable in the other way of looking at it but we do hear this a lot from our clients when they put is you can wear it but you have to change up your makeup or you have to change up you work out at the really is what ever it is you have to think about those things because the truth is nudes can look absolutely stunning and  so let's say you're wearing something like a nude or a beige you kind of color something you feel washes you out a lighter color whether it's a white or off white you think it's washing you up think about what you can put surrounding your face whether it's an earring or necklace or a scarf or even maybe a little like strugar jacket because the things that are close to your face you will bend nuffield like the outfits washing us out absolute and the outfit can be very chic so i think i really do think it's about experimenting and playing with the  a color that doesn't work for you don't feel bad there might be a call that you just don't feel comfortable right ok i guess again we're going back to don't be afraid have fun with fashion which is something we always say and talking about ok stay they have got to come out talking about hot and seek and taking risks and just getting it right yeah right is stacy getting it in this ok how do you right now jazziest to it a great camis all your favorite jeans and then the accessories so we accessorize this with a great leopard print belt leopard big trend all the print a all and then gold you know metallic pumps by valentino all the designers are making it if you want to splurge with the bigger brands go ahead if not you really can find mat in them at home and they all make knock offs and you looking so po them say i would never have thought to put this on but i feel like a million bucks i mean that's what makes it all worth it and so i guess because you know when you pay somebody or go to an expert you expect them to say something that you don't have in your head or you're going think about you have to be something different because you're telling them something they know they don't need you know we talk about this a lot we talk about life changing pieces and hopefully we offer that's our clients we let them know what's going to change their life a little bit or change their attitude a little bit for the better so she looks amazing that's amazing ok so i think we talked about a lot of good tips and tricks along the way you did before you go we like to leave you with one kind of big tip or trick maybe that we didn't mention in the episode and i think this is really important something we've talked about and i think it makes a very big difference it does with laser we know or men i mean could work for minutes well here's a tip if you experience a dramatic weight loss if you really work very hard to lose weight and you're really happy in a very good place you now have your i guess heavier clothes little thing or the you know the bigger size clothing and now you're getting maybe a new wardrobe and you're excited about the things that you can fit maybe fit into or you know mousse new styles and silhouettes that you can wear that you can wear before so now you have these two wardrobes what do you do with the larger sizes now a lot of people we know would say save the clothes because was running a ways back but we say no no way i don't  should feel bad about yourself we all do that but the point is i think that you don't want to use it as a crutch it's a safe thing that if you know you have this wardrobe of larger sizes it's if you start creeping up a little bit it's not like we're going to get us down and yeah i to your son's bar mitzvah right or something and it's a dress you love but you know it's a million sizes too big get it made small you don't want to part with it again you know many nice feelings and memories when you wear it and think about it get it made smaller it won't cost a tremendous amount of money it certainly won't cost as much as a new dress right and now you have that in your wardrobe and you don't have that crutch that faith in that or whatever you want to call it staring you in the face right i love that i mean maybe you could save one piece just to remind yourself how far out of car com yes that's good too so i love all that but before we go why don't we bring stacy on out ok as for how gorgeous model stacy who really i mean you are an inspiration i mean we know tell you you should be a smaller weight right it's what it has to be how you feel you feel you're also healthy right what's healthy talk to your doctors and it doesn't mean that we all have to be the same size it's about your doctor is and what makes you feel good and
