I need someone to dress me

What do you wear when you are invited to the launch of a website of a celebrity stylist?

This is a real life conundrum I was faced with just last week when I was invited to the launch of Jules Sebastian’s website Styled by Jules. Now I know about the real life problems that many people face, and the fact that I was getting an amazing morning tea at The Establishment kind of negates any reality to the horror of my plight but believe me, I spent FAR TOO LONG wondering about what to wear.

Working from home means that I wear pyjamas a lot. Or if not pyjamas – very comfortable clothes that my husband looks at and says “I assume you are not leaving the house today” when he sees me. Sometimes I take the dog for a walk and none of the other dog walkers talk to me, if I put two and two together it’s usually on the “comfortable clothes” days that this happens.

If I am not wearing elasticated pants or comfy dresses I am in skinny jeans with a long top on. My reckoning is that the skinny jeans emphasise the fact that my legs are the only part of me that doesn’t need work. The long top is meant to disguise my area of most concern – my rather pronounced stomach. Apparently this does not work because I get asked about my pregnancy a lot even though I am not pregnant. In fact I was never asked about my pregnancy when I was pregnant!

But when going to meet Jules Sebastian (who was just the wife of Guy Sebastian when I set out) and Samantha Jade I felt like I needed to make more effort hence the tremendous thought that went into the outfit.

The problem with all my planning was evident when I got up the morning of the event and looked in the mirror. I looked nothing like “fantasy me”. In the preparation for the event I had envisaged my entire wardobe on a different body. A considerably younger, slimmer, more toned and less pasty white body. I cannot tell you my delight in the fact that it was raining and I could cover up more thus dealing with the pastiness efficiently – the rest of the problems were not that easy to deal with.

So I wore an elasticated skirt (winning) and a top that I thought hid my stomach but actually didn’t. Very fancily I thought I should wear a bulky black necklace that detracts attention from my stomach. Turns out I don’t actually know how to dress for my own body shape so it’s quite a good thing that I actually went to this launch.

Jules Sebastian is absolutely amazing, charming, down to earth, very accommodating of people who want to touch her pregnant stomach (me) and much more than just Guy Sebastian’s wife. She is a stylist, not just to celebrities but to people like you and me. And you never have to even think about what to wear when you meet her. You simply click on to her site, answer a few simple questions about what you’re looking for and your own style, attach a photo of yourself and then she creates a look book specially crafted for you. Best thing, well one of the brilliant things, is that it’s click to buy so you really can do it in elastic pants – you never leave the house.

Now if I could just stop tilting my head to the left like a mad woman maybe Jules can sort the rest. Wonder if she offer hairstyling recommendations…
