April's POV
"...and erm, tonight I have a business meeting at the Four Seasons." Danielle, a workaholic girl from the UK, was saying counting off her fingers.
"Okay...let me just run through it once" I said as I scribbled her words in my sketchpad. My writing was surprisingly neat regardless of the speed I wrote.
"Right! So you have an interview with the Tatler and the Daily FT, then a launch party at Porshe and a business meeting tonight, correct?" I read out for confirmation.
"Correct! Plus the business meeting is with this top notch entrepreneur from New York so I need to be at my best!" She said adding a chirpy laugh mixed with nerves. I smiled.
"No worries, you are in the right place" I said as I took some fashion catalogues to look through.
The words 'interview', 'party' and 'meeting' rang in my head as I stared at the outfits displayed. They seem to act as a filter to my brain and eyes. Occasionally, I would pause to analyze one piece, match the importance of the event and imagine my client wearing it from my vivid imagination. Danielle was a petite girl with a medium height so high waist jeans, vertical stripes love her. My brain did the decision making smoothly. I raised my head up to scan the cloth racks in my room for a bit before resuming to look at the catalogue. Well, I need to make sure I choose the best of the best.
That's why you go for a personal shopper.
Danielle was sitting patiently at the couch near my table, going through the YSL coffee table book I kept there. Relieved that I didn't have her attention, I seized the chance to imagine the outfits on her by staring at her deeply. The more I did, the better the choices became as I had to consider even her hair color and length.
Hm...maroon goes best with chestnut brown so how about that blazer? The voice in my head gave me suggestions.
After a mental session of back and forth decisions, I was ready with my choices. I cleared my throat.
"Okay, first up, for your interview with the Tatler. Obviously they are going to list out your outfits so lets go with this floral peplum dress." I said as I pulled out the dress off the rack.
"Hold on, let me get it down..." Danielle said as she dished out her phone and started to type. "Tatler.....floral dress.....right, got that. And?"
"Do you have a cashmere coat?"
"Oh yes, I do! A D&G one"
"Cool, you could top this shirt off with that and a black leather jean"
"Ivory shirt....cashmere coat.....leather jean...got it!"
"So for the launch party.....you are gonna rock in this midi dress"
Danielle's eyes lit up when I pulled out the dress from the rack. "Wow! Thank you, I really love that"
I chuckled. "You could pair it up with that kitten heels you told me about earlier........then,... for the meeting, you could-"
"How about a cocktail dress?" Danielle piped in suddenly.
I blinked at the interruption. She had a curious look on her face which was a bit strange. "Um, a dress? What about a jigsaw suit? Like this ash one over here?" I voiced , uncertainly. Danielle turned to the suit I chose. For the first time, her face scrunched up.
