I was tired of shopping for clothes which on second thoughts never seemed to quite work and I’d end up passing them on or giving them away. What I wore and the image I needed to project through work seemed to be getting further apart.

I felt I needed some inspiration to make the best of my casual everyday wardrobe as I am a “fashion schizophrenic” and needed to hone my look so I could get out the door without worrying about what I was wearing.

I was up for a large promotion at work and feedback leading into this told me I should more purposefully consider wardrobe and my ‘brand’ if I wanted to take the next step. This was a great prod for me to reach out to Lizzie.  The challenge I faced was that I needed to look more […]

I contacted Lizzie because I wanted advice on what styles suited me and my shape, as on too many occasions I was just getting it wrong. My focus was on finding clothes that looked smart at work, and importantly to take the decision-making out of the morning rush.  I found the shopping session to be […]

I do not have time to shop – ever.  It’s always rushed, last minute and disorganised. I never know what to buy so I fancied having someone to help me buy clothes who would be impartial. I had also recently moved firms and I wanted some new items.

After having 2 children I had lost my sense of style, my interest in clothes, and had fallen in to a rut of convenience clothes shopping via the Internet.

The specific issue for me was finding a smart but more business-casual look to wear to meetings and events. In my previous life I worked in a very corporate environment, and hadn’t really moved out of thinking that’s the look I needed to wear. I wanted help to find a style that reflected my business and me, but retained the right level of appropriateness for each occasion.
