Stylist Blog

I had a growing dissatisfaction with my wardrobe and how I looked, was fed up with the constant stress of not knowing what to wear, and frustrated with not knowing what to buy to correct the situation! 

I had been feeling a little exasperated with everything to do with clothing. My wardrobe wasn’t giving me what I needed, I didn’t know where to shop and I didn’t know what my style was. I had been considering trying an image consultant for a while, and finally I decided I needed to change

I wasn’t happy with what I saw in the mirror every day. Being at home with the children it is easy to completely let yourself go!  I think it was a need of a kind of therapy for my self esteem!! I needed someone to help me come out of myself.

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.

I got in touch with Lizzie Edwards Style Consultancy as I had recently received a promotion at work and wanted advice on selecting a wardrobe that suited both my new role and figure. I have always had trouble choosing clothes that flattered my figure and were appropriate for my age and seniority at work. 

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.

As a mother of three young children, it has been more than 5 years since I bought clothes properly, and I have really struggled to find a style which suits me, my new shape, and is practical to wear to a range of different events. 

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. 

I had a wardrobe full of clothes, but I didn’t enjoy wearing them and didn’t feel comfortable in them. It was a struggle to get dressed each morning! I had also been reflecting on my career and where my next step will take me – I wanted to feel like a confident leader. 

I’ve always had the classic problem of a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear and I needed to dramatically pare down the volume of clothes and focus on higher quality pieces that would work hard for me.  I had been wanting to work with LESC for a while, and the birth of my first child seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so.
