At Maeve Mélange, Style Analysis isn’t a makeover — it’s a mirror to your personal infrastructure. It reveals the lines, silhouettes, textures, and details that love you back. It can also poke at old beauty stories, comparison habits, and the fantasy version of yourself you’ve been trying to dress as.

This checklist helps you decide whether you’re emotionally ready to meet your real, magnetic, fully‑embodied self with compassion, curiosity, and a splash of rebellion.

Mantra: I don’t have to become someone new — I’m here to stop performing as someone I never was.

What This Experience Is

• An alignment between your body, soul, and visual identity

• A language for why certain pieces look like you

• A clarity tool so shopping stops feeling like a guessing game

• A liberation from trends that were never made for you
  
  
  

What It’s Not

• A value judgment or ranking system

• A softness / drama / femininity referendum

• A verdict on your past choices or wardrobe

• A guarantee your fantasy aesthetic will be “confirmed”
  
  
  
  
  

Pre‑Booking Readiness Check

Read each statement. If you can genuinely say “yes,” you’re ready.

1) Relationship to Self

• ☐ I am open to seeing myself honestly — even if it challenges my expectations.

• ☐ I understand that beauty doesn’t come from chasing a smaller / softer / more dramatic version of me.

• ☐ I can hold big emotions without turning them into self‑criticism.
  

2) Expectations & Fantasy

• ☐ I am not booking this session to get a specific category or aesthetic “confirmed.”

• ☐ I can release styles I love if they don’t love me back.

• ☐ I understand that clothing harmony ≠ moral worth.
  

3) Mindset for Discovery

• ☐ I am here to be curious — not to perform or prove anything.

• ☐ If I feel sadness, grief, or defensiveness, I can slow down instead of shutting down.

• ☐ I see Style Analysis as information + language… not a verdict on who I am.
  

4) Integration & Processing

• ☐ I’m willing to give myself 1–2 weeks to process before reinventing my closet.

• ☐ I won’t crowd‑source my reaction in the first 48 hours (friends mean well… emotional timing does not).

• ☐ I’m open to easing in gently — one silhouette, one outfit, one insight at a time.
  
  
  If you answered no to several statements — no shame. You may simply need more time. This work is deep, and you deserve to arrive grounded.
  

Before You Book, Ask Yourself…

Use these as a five‑minute gut‑check:

• Who have I been trying to dress as? Who am I actually becoming?

• Where did my idea of “beautiful” come from?

• Is part of me is still grieving a body or identity I imagined?

• What would it feel like to meet myself with compassion instead of comparison?

Reframe: Nothing was ever wrong with you…some clothes simply aren’t beautiful enough for you.

What Being ‘Ready’ Feels Like

• "I’m open to being surprised."

• "I can hold disappointment and curiosity at the same time."

• "My worth is not tied to a body type, essence, or silhouette."

• "This process is collaborative, not approval‑seeking."

Gentle Support If Emotions Arise

During or after your session, it’s normal to feel:

• grief for styles you’re releasing

• jealousy toward aesthetics that flatter others

• relief that your body finally makes sense
  

Grounding reminders:

• You are allowed to pause.

• You do not have to agree with everything instantly.

• Growth often arrives dressed as discomfort first.
  

This experience isn’t about shrinking, softening, or reshaping yourself to fit fashion.
It’s about letting your real presence take the lead and letting your wardrobe rise to meet it.
