Every time you choose to refine your image, you are choosing yourself again. You are saying:

What Authentic Style Actually Looks Like

I talk quite a bit about authenticity and how aligning your internal identity with your external presentation is so important, particularly in business.

But when a new-to-me client recently asked what authenticity in your wardrobe actually looks like, it had me thinking - what comes second nature to me, may need explaining to anyone who is yet to take their first foray into working with a personal stylist…

The Power Of A Capsule Wardrobe

Building a capsule wardrobe doesn’t happen overnight - or even across one year. Considerable time, patience and practice is needed when trying out what suits and what doesn’t. Once you’ve a handle on what your foundational pieces are - those that work for your shape, your lifestyle as well as being stylish and functional - it should be easier to figure out what you’re missing. I’ve long been a fan of capsule dressing and yes I know I go on about it but who doesn’t like simple, stylish, stress-free dressing?
