I know it's been discussed a lot on here but are style days worth it?

I've been tempted for ages by a HOC Style Day (had colours done a while back). I'm 42 and while I've got a reasonable idea of what suits me and know what I like, I sometimes feel completely clueless, especially dressing for occasions - day to day I'm not too bad. I'm intrigued to find out why I feel comfy in some clothes but not others and would be fascinated to know which 'type' I am.

That said, while I enjoyed the colour session and can see how my chosen palette works on me, I do sometimes find myself wanting to rebel and wear completely different colours just because I don't like being told what to do! I don't want to spend £150 on the Style Day and end up ignoring what I learn.

Do you think it's worth it or should I carry on working out 'my style' by reading blogs and this board, Pinteresting endlessly and wasting too much time in the shops?

Kitty I'm also quite curvy (narrow back with g cups). I find trousers more practical as well, but can't wear them in a 'masculine' way, which can be tricky. I have a few pairs of chinos which I'll pretty up with a soft cropped cardi or slightly detailed blouse, but sometimes they still look a bit butch on me. I think I'm just glad to find something that fits in the right colour - probably should spend more time in the search but, as above, cba.
I don't work, but I think if I was doing the same office-based work I was before I'd wear fitted curvy jackets with shift dresses or skirts - I definitely know which skirt styles suit me since seeing the independent consultant.

Well I've taken the plunge and been in touch with the local lady, hoping to book a class in the next few weeks - I'll keep you all updated :).
