I knew my clothes were tired, unfashionable and due a complete change, but I’ve never enjoyed shopping and would have no idea, typically, where to start. When I did shop it would be with no purpose or philosophy in mind, so I’d end up buying random pieces and wasting a lot of money. I was referred to Lizzie by a female member of my team who had had a remarkable transformation at Lizzie’s hands.
I enjoyed Lizzie’s honesty, her ability to disarm you of any preconceptions or apprehension you might have. She gets it right away and says exactly what you’ve been thinking about your clothes but have been too scared to admit it to yourself. It was a huge relief to bag-up most of my stuff, much of which I no longer wore, and to take it round to the charity shop. Even this first step was a vast improvement, with only items left in my wardrobe that I actually liked to wear or felt good in (though the number was very small).
The shopping session was fantastic. Lizzie made it so easy and it was incredibly efficient in terms of the amount of stuff we tried on. I very quickly lost any self-consciousness and actually enjoyed trying all the stuff on. Lizzie just knows what you will look good in.
As a result of our sessions I have a wardrobe that I get a thrill out of going into (as effeminate as that may sound) and I actually look forward to going to social events and work because I know I look good. I feel like a new man. Seriously.
I definitely feel more confident about going out. I had previously dismissed the notion that my clothes might detract from the enjoyment of going to parties, work or on dates, but I now realise how much of a drag it had become.
It’s just not good enough to say, ‘Well, I’m a bloke, no one will mind if I wear the same old sweater and rubbish jeans.’ I suspect that I got a bit more interest from the females at the last party I went to, but I’ll hold back on that one so as not to tempt fate!
I would recommend it for all the reasons above, and I know a number of male friends in exactly the same spot I was in before I met Lizzie.
It’s not a particularly cheap thing to do, but it’s remarkably well worth the investment and I am looking forward to the next session already. I’ve also overcome my phobia and ignorance about shopping for clothes and know where I’ll go now and what I’ll be looking for. It may sound girly, but clothes are actually rather enjoyable. I wish I’d done it ten years ago.
