Why you need to hire a Personal Stylist
/
Perhaps you think that investing in a Personal Stylist is unnecesary, but if you’ve been feeling stressed or less than happy with this area of your life, then it can have a huge positive impact on changing the way you feel about yourself and your wardrobe. And the end result is increased confidence.
The way I see it, buying clothes is a bit of a quick fix. It doesn’t really solve your problems long term because you don’t have a strategy.
What is a Personal Stylist?
So let’s clear something up. We’re not Personal Shoppers (although we do undertake personal shopping trips) and we’re not on any commission to make you buy anything. We’re not declutterers (although we do help you organise your wardrobe), a wardrobe edit goes much deeper than a clear out. We don’t make you dress like us (seriously, not everyone can pull off a mustard yellow). We coach you into understanding more about your style and help you figure it all out.
So why work with a Personal Stylist?
It will save you money - how much money have you wasted on clothes that hang in your wardrobe with the tags on, just destined for the charity shop unworn? Or things you’ve worn a couple of times but that sit there unloved. A personal stylist will help you stop making those mistakes. Long-term, it really will save you money.
It will save you time - if you hate shopping or spend a long time trying to find things that fit (or end up buying something just because it does fit), then working with a stylist will save you lots of time. An organised wardrobe will also save you time, plus you’ll learn how to create outfits, rather than see your wardrobe as an overwhelming sea of unwearable items.
It will save you frustration - never finding things that suit you or fit you can lead to a lot of frustration and knocks your confidence. A personal stylist will help you find things you love and that fit, no matter what your size and shape!
You’ll create a signature style that works for you - learning more about your style personality and creating a Style Recipe is the key to great style for now and in the future. You’ll also learn more about what you look and feel great wearing. And you’ll nail the styling - often the difference between a good outfit and a bad one lies in the styling and you’ll learn lots of styling tips that work just for you!
You’ll understand the colours that work for you - the key to building a cohesive wardrobe is colours that work together, and colours that look good on you too. It’s a win-win! Plus you’ll never feel overwhelmed when you walk into a clothes shop again, because you’ll be able to filter out the things that you know don’t work for you.
You’ll stop buying things that don’t work - you might have a wardrobe full of clothes, but do they work together? This is what a stylist will help you achieve - a strategic approach to your wardrobe so you’ll start wearing all your clothes more of the time and find it easier to look put together.
It will take the stress out of mornings - imagine having the strategies and knowledge in place to know what you’re going to wear everyday - no stress, no hassle, just get dressed and look great!
It’s therapeutic - it’s not therapy, but it is therapeutic. Investing time for yourself to learn more about your style and what works for you is hugely beneficial, if it’s something that’s been holding you back or stressing you out. My clients often tell me that just filling out the pre-consultation questionnaires feels like therapy - thinking about what your issues are and then getting someone to help you with them.
It will boost your confidence - ultimately, you’re investing in your own self-esteem and confidence. Sure it looks like clothes shopping and decluttering from the outside, but it goes so much deeper than this.
As one of my clients put it:
I have to say this is for anyone who wants to have more confidence and just feel a lot better about themselves in general. I had not realised the impact of wearing what truly makes you glow!
