How do you become that woman who spends five minutes in her closet in the morning and emerges looking (and feeling) confident and like her best self?
It can be hard enough to find clothing that …
(a) physically fits your body; and
(b) fits your budget
… that considering anything else (even fun stuff like whether your clothes show off your fab personality or match with other cute stuff you have) can seem totally emotionally overwhelming!
So you end up with a closet full of clothes that are either …
(a) all versions of the exact same thing (because you know you look and feel amazing in the ten grey sweaters you have – but have no idea about anything else); or
(b) are okay individually but completely “mismatched” as a whole (you feel like you have a bunch of “clothes” but not “outfits” and don’t know how to put anything together).
So then you spend ages trying to pick something to wear and end up throwing on the same thing you wore yesterday (or that classic hoodie and jeans combo that you’ve been wearing your whole life) and end up feeling flustered, uncomfortable and just *not you*.
And then tomorrow you wake up and do all it all again.
I grew up in a small town with limited shopping options in the days long before online shopping (or social networking) was a *thing*.
I didn’t know the latest trends or really anything about clothes or fashion, I just bought whatever was available locally and “physically fit” my body.
I once wore the exact same outfit every weekend of my four month working holiday – and not because I had a “capsule wardrobe” or was trying to save on luggage space; it was literally the only outfit I had that I felt good in (and now I have thousands of photos of me across the US that look like they were taken on the same day *haha*).
By then I’d realised that I felt better (way more confident and ready to kick goals in life) when I was wearing clothes that felt like *me* … but I had no idea what those clothes were!
I didn’t know what my personal style was, what looked good on me, or what kinds of things worked together. And I certainly didn’t know how I was supposed to recognise those things at the store.
I have been lucky enough to work for some of Australia’s most well known and well loved designers, where I had the pleasure of styling hundreds of women and also learning from other confident, stylish humans!
Along the way, I also became (and worked as) a lawyer, which taught me a lot about style in the corporate setting (and gave me a tonne of further experience helping people one-on-one).
I took everything I learnt and implemented it within my own life. And these days, I love literally everything in my closet and it takes me about two seconds to get dressed.
I understand my own style and finally feel like *myself* after getting dressed.
And now that I have a bunch of experience working with and helping others, I am ready to share every single thing that I have learnt with you!
