Advice of the week: Hire a stylist! There is no short cuts or ways around it! Please do not attempt to cheat your project! Your vision deserves to be executed precisely. You obtained the idea from the universe for a reason! Do not cheat yourself!

-You have someone to help with the creativity of the project.
-The knowledge and skills they bring to the table.
-The ability to know what fits specific models.
