Hello and welcome!
Be your own stylist - easy when you understand YOUR personal style. Simple strategies and practical with timeless tips.
Someone asked me how Personal Style began … it’s the result of friends asking me to share how I dressed so well on my tiny budget.
Fascinated with personal presentation and realistic wardrobe planning since childhood, I always wanted to understand WHY an outfit worked (and why it didn’t).
Over the years I read, researched, studied, had my colours done, my style diagnosed, my shape identified. Some were wrong, others incomplete or dated, most were expensive.
At 40 I had to rethink my career. I remember a stylist advising a group of us unemployed women something ‘one had to buy’ and thinking ‘Actually, I was planning to feed my family this week!’ It was ludicrous and intensely frustrating advice for someone in my situation.
Retraining as an adult tutor I gained new skills and opportunities. Along the way I realised how much I enjoyed teaching and coaching women, empowering them in practical ways.
So all of that came together in September 2005 when those friends asked me to explain how to put together an affordable wardrobe.
