I was stuck in my old wardrobe routine, and I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror every day. Being at home during the day with the children it is easy to completely let yourself go! I was in need of a kind of therapy for my self esteem!! I needed someone to help me come out of myself, decided to look for a personal stylist and found Lizzie.
I loved the preparation work before the wardrobe review, with the mood boards and questions. It was a thorough study of my needs and actual situation. I realised that my wardrobe was not adapted to my day to day lifestyle.
I loved the feeling of luxury on the personal shopping day, and all the preparation work that Lizzie did. I was able to try lots of clothes and completely recreate my wardrobe. This would have been impossible on my own, because it would have been time consuming and I don't know the stores. Lizzie has this sharp experienced eye to target your style to be just perfect!
As a result, I have a complete wardrobe that I can use; smaller but more effective. I can dress faster and the result is always good, no faux pas.
I now know which brands works for me, I am more confident in what I like, I have had good feed back.
I would definitely recommend doing this a minimum of twice a year!! It is very expertised work, and if you want good quality you have to realise that you cannot do it by yourself, and ask for professional personal styling help.
Thank you Lizzie for your talent, and your honesty.
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.
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!
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.
