I actually went through and listed out all my clothes in an effort to reduce the number of my possessions a while back to just cover the basics and a few extras. I'm not sure if this helps or not, but this is my complete wardrobe, and I feel comfortable dressing up or down for almost every situation without feeling overwhelmed with my clothes. Can't comment on using image consultants, buy maybe a good place to start would be to plan out your personal style, identify and list out the basics, then branch out from there.
