I was up for a large promotion at work and feedback leading into this told me I should more purposefully consider wardrobe and my 'brand' if I wanted to take the next step. This was a great prod for me to reach out to Lizzie. 

The challenge I faced was that I needed to look more 'presidential' but still look like me. I am a relaxed and easy-going person, so I had trouble making those two things match. I had never thought purposefully about how to portray myself through my wardrobe and I never shopped with any purpose - I just went when I really needed something new. 

I needed help to take stock, think through what image I wanted to portray, and then purposefully gather pieces to make a great wardrobe that suited me in my role. 

I found the wardrobe and style review sessions really interesting. It was great to take a step back and consider what I wanted to accomplish. Lizzie has a great process and asked some good and challenging questions which helped me a lot. In the end, I felt she had really understood me and what I was about, and was then ready to help me to 'be me', but with a 'presidential look.

The shopping session was great fun.  Lizzie is great - she would pick things I never would have myself, but when I put them on I loved them. She looked for things specifically for me, and was very clear on the feedback of what worked, didn't work and why, which I found really useful.

I have ended up with a great wardrobe - I love everything in it! One of the best parts of my day is waking up and trying to decide what to wear, as I have so many great choices now. I learned quite a bit about what colours work for me, and how to put an outfit together so I am really pleased.

I feel great now; much more confident with the clothes I have, more confident to put an outfit together that works, and I feel I look authentic yet still portraying the 'presidential' look that I wanted for work. 

I get a huge amount of comments now, especially from colleagues. People noticed an immediate difference and this builds your confidence even further. 

I would absolutely recommend working with Lizzie! I think that many women underinvest in themselves and finding their 'brand'. It is really amazing how much of a positive change you can make in yourself and how you are viewed by investing the time in your wardrobe and your look - all while still being authentically you. It’s well worth the investment. Thanks, Lizzie!

Before my sessions with Lizzie I was completely flummoxed about what I should wear. I had recently returned to work following two children, and all of my old work clothes were not only out of date, but also not relevant to my new career. I was also bored of my everyday outfits and needed a real shake up.

Elaine M, Director

When I met Lizzie I was completely in a rut with my clothing and accessories, both my work and my casual wardrobe were rather gloomy.  Certain items had been in my wardrobe for over ten years, there wasn't much there that helped me feel confident and happy in myself at the weekend or at work.

Laura H, Finance

After having two children, I returned to work realising that my body had changed and that I wanted to dress myself appropriately for my role.  I had always wanted to give myself a style upgrade but never had the excuse for it.  Since I wanted to change and update my clothes anyway, this was the perfect reason for me to choose to do it right.

Clare M, Producer

I contacted Lizzie mainly due to my lack of time as I have two teenage kids, and I work very long hours. Over the years, my confidence has eroded  and I suffer from the fear of looking middle-aged or 'mutton dressed as lamb'...

Joy W, CIO

I've always found it really challenging to dress 'business casual'. I feel it's harder for women, especially at an executive level where you have to enter the boardroom, to look credible, yet be approachable to your team. Add in an international factor and the challenge of what to wear becomes daunting.

Lyndsey D, Barrister

When I contacted Lizzie I was not confident in my clothing choices, and felt as though I was dressing in a prematurely old way and failing to make the best of myself.

Jules H, CEO

Lizzie introduced me to some very useful brands which are great for basics and pull an outfit together, and I also learned that I should consider having more items adjusted to fit me better.

Alexandra J, CEO

When I contacted Lizzie I was looking for a review of my wardrobe and a reduction. My wardrobe was bursting at the seams, yet I never felt I had anything to wear.  I had already made two attempts at clearing out it myself in the last 2 years and failed, so I knew I needed some professional help.

Sophia G, Leadership Coach

I was not getting the best use out of my wardrobe and felt I would benefit from some help in making the best out of the clothes I already had. I needed a wardrobe that could easily move from smart casual, to smart, to potentially evening out.

Penny G, Operations

Having recently turned 40 I wanted to step in to my new decade with confidence. Updating my wardrobe was a way to celebrate where I had got to in my life rather than stressing about getting older!
