Two essential assessments for self-improvement!

Good evening, I'm Rakuiko, working in insurance while aiming to promote financial education!

"Oh man, it looked so good at the store, but it feels a bit off now that I'm trying it on at home."
or,
"I tried wearing clothes that follow the trends, but it just doesn't feel right..."
or,
"I haven't really worn that piece, but I might wear it someday... I'll just put it away for now..."

Have you ever thought things like that!?
I definitely have!!!

If you've ever thought that, you must see this! Doing these two assessments will solve it!!

Two assessments

Have you ever done a personal color analysis or a skeletal structure analysis??
I hadn't done them before either, although I had tried some simple ones online. They never quite felt right, and the results would change every time I took them, so I always felt a bit uneasy about it.
However, since actually getting a professional assessment takes time and costs money, I had been hesitant, but I finally went and got it done the other day! It was highly recommended!!

Personal color analysis and skeletal structure analysis

When it comes to personal color analysis, they often categorize things into yellow-base or blue-base, and then further into yellow-base spring or autumn, or blue-base summer or winter. In my case, I was a blue-base summer, which means I look good in bright, pastel-like colors.

I also had a skeletal structure analysis done at the same time. That analysis categorizes you into one of three types: straight, wave, or natural. I was a wave type, which is more of a delicate build, I suppose. It's a type with a slender, slim skeletal structure. You can do self-assessments for this too, using the internet or books, but there's never anything that fits perfectly. It was very subtle, like 'this part of my skeleton fits this, but this other part doesn't,' so I wanted to clarify that, which is why I decided to get the assessment this time.

Challenges in choosing clothes and the effects of personal color analysis

I've always liked clothes and have been quite interested in fashion, so I've bought various items.
But even after buying them, I'd feel like, 'This doesn't quite feel right,' or 'It feels a bit different from when I tried it on at the store,' and I ended up not wearing them, leaving quite a few things just sitting in my closet.
Don't you have things like that?
I had quite a few of those, so I thought that if I got this personal color analysis and skeletal structure analysis, I could reduce that waste and make my shopping more efficient, which is why I did it. The result was a huge success, or rather, I was truly very satisfied😊

■ Benefit of the assessment ① Boosts self-esteem!

What was I satisfied with? There are three things. The first is that it significantly boosts self-esteem.
When the colors and clothing styles that suit you become clear, you know for sure that wearing these will make you look stylish and that they suit you. Just wearing them gives me a sense of confidence. Furthermore, wearing things that suit me really seems to boost my motivation.
For example, even with beige, there's brownish beige and whitish beige. Among the many shades of beige, I can now wear the one that suits me, and wearing that has increased my confidence.

■ Benefit of the assessment ② Eliminates wasteful spending and makes shopping fun!

And the second point is that it eliminates wasteful spending and makes shopping fun.
I often buy clothes online, but when you buy online, you can't always tell the exact color. However, since I can now buy colors that actually suit me, I can clearly see that a certain color or shape won't look good on me, so I stop buying those things.

A consultant chooses your best colors, and by comparing items against those chosen colors, you can pick things that you know will look good on you. Because of this, when you go shopping, you can judge which colors and clothes suit you much faster. You can quickly tell if something matches or if the shape will look good, which speeds up your decision-making and allows you to choose items that truly suit you, eliminating waste and making shopping enjoyable✨

■ Benefit of the assessment #3: You can declutter!!

And finally, something that was surprising was that it helps with decluttering.
I have a lot of clothes that just sit in my dresser, and I keep them thinking, 'Maybe I'll wear this again,' or 'Maybe this style will come back in fashion,' or 'It's still wearable, so I'll keep it.'
I think there are a lot of things that end up piling up for reasons like that. But in the end, you never use them. They probably aren't things you feel comfortable in, and since they aren't in a place where you can easily grab them, you'll almost never go out of your way to pull them out from the back to wear them.
It's not really good to go out of your way to pull something out from the back and wear clothes that don't suit you. By doing this personal color and skeletal analysis, it becomes clear that 'this really didn't suit me' or 'this wasn't a color that looked good on me.'
So, after the assessment, I immediately threw away the things that had been sitting in my dresser. It really makes it easier to distinguish things, just like when you're shopping at a store, so it was truly effective for decluttering.

Summary

So, there were three things I found beneficial from the personal color and skeletal analysis. I shared three effects: increased self-esteem, the elimination of wasteful spending making shopping fun, and the progress in decluttering.
If there is anyone who hasn't done this yet, I highly recommend it!
Even doing it just once is something you can use for the rest of your life, so I really recommend it.
I think it's important to have someone other than yourself look at you. When you do a self-assessment, there's a psychological aspect where you might choose a color just because you happen to like it. I think self-assessments tend to be off, so I felt it was quite important to have a professional look at you with an objective eye.
So, today I wrote about personal color and skeletal analysis😊 Thank you for reading until the end!

What are your personal colors and skeletal types??

With that, I hope you have a wonderful day today and tomorrow.

See you later!
