Stylist Blog

It had been so long since I shopped that replenishing my wardrobe felt like a chore rather than a joy. I didn’t know where to start and was afraid of making expensive mistakes. I also decided that I wanted a treat and working with Lizzie sounded fun!

I wanted to find a new way of dressing – giving up my old banker suits and finding a look that was more contemporary but still fitting for a 45 year old in finance. 

I had moved from a corporate office environment to a working from home arrangement, with regular outside meetings.  I needed to transition to a smart casual look, so I contacted LESC and booked in with one of Lizzie’s senior stylists.

I decided to contact Lizzie Edwards and work with one of Lizzie’s Senior Stylists as I was feeling frustrated that I never had enough clothes to wear at work, and I was finding it difficult to find styles that suited my figure and lifestyle.

I contacted Lizzie Edwards Style Consultancy because I knew that I needed to revamp my professional wardrobe, and rather than spend wasted afternoons searching in shops and picking up pieces I really did not need, I decided to seek professional help.  I opted for sessions with a senior stylist.

I am time constrained and my wife referred me to Lizzie, as I hate shopping but I was fed up not having anything to wear.  Practically everything in my wardrobe needed replacing, but I don’t have the time or patience to shop.

I was starting a new job which required a more fashionable look. I had a lot of old clothes that didn’t fit nicely together and having had two children, my body had also changed.

I’ve always found shopping stressful and getting dressed to go to work a challenge. A promotion meant I really had to do something about my look, smarten up and increase my confidence for business meetings and leading change in the organisation.

I had had three children and fashion seemed to have moved on during the years of wearing maternity clothes. Most of my wardrobe felt out of date, tatty, ill fitting or worn out. I kept buying things but because I wasn’t being strategic, I’d buy the same thing over and over and still feel like I had nothing to wear.

After retirement from a business career and subsequently moving to a subtropical climate, I found it increasingly difficult to find a new, more relaxed style while staying true to myself. I wanted to go from conservative black to a relaxed, yet elegant smart casual style.
