I work with women with ambition to create an effortless, everyday style. Here are some client stories.
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 I had recently returned to work following two children, and all of my old work clothes were not only out of date, but also not relevant to my new career.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.
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.
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.
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'...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I really needed a change in my wardrobe; I had far too many clothes. They were overwhelming me and I desperately needed to clear out and get advice on every day wear to suit my change of lifestyle after the birth of my second child.
I had bought Lizzie's book some time ago and read it on holiday after I had accepted a new role with one of the Big four. With a company change, it was a good time for me to reconnect with my passions and consider how I could enhance my personal brand which includes my dress code.
I'd definitely recommend sessions with Lizzie - if the clothes themselves don't give you renewed confidence, the compliments you get from others will!
I had a closet full of clothes, yet was always wearing the same tired black outfit. I wanted to have the clothes in my closet translated into outfits, and to stop buying things that were not usable or didn't fit my style.
I wanted to change careers and therefore look more professional at work, but I really didn’t like shopping which meant I hadn't been clothes shopping for over a year.
Like many women I had lots of clothes in the wardrobe but often felt I had nothing to wear. Increasingly I was getting dressed in the morning feeling OK about how I looked, to come home wondering "Why am I wearing this?!" which resulted in buying more clothes because I felt I had nothing to wear.
After years of wanting some help with refreshing my work and casual clothes, as well as help with sorting through what I had in my wardrobe, my husband bought 2 days with Lizzie as a birthday present.
I had recently been promoted to Board level positions in a couple of companies and needed a new look that was smarter and more consistent with that level of seniority, but which still afforded me credibility as a scientist.
I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror every day. Being at home with the children it is easy to completely let yourself go! I think it was a need of a kind of therapy for my self esteem!! I needed someone to help me come out of myself.
I had been feeling a little exasperated with everything to do with clothing. My wardrobe wasn't giving me what I needed, I didn't know where to shop and I didn't know what my style was. I had been considering trying an image consultant for a while, and finally I decided I needed to change
