A wardrobe restyle creates a versatile range of outfit combinations using your existing clothes, shoes and accessories.
It’s a sustainable way to spice up your wardrobe without adding to overconsumption and waste.

It doesn’t matter at all. In fact, please resist the temptation to tidy your wardrobe beforehand because I want to see how you use it right now.
Piles of shoes under the bed, old clothes hidden away in boxes or all over the `floordrobe’. I don’t judge. I’m here to empower you.
Anything which doesn’t serve you, I can help you find sustainable ways to free yourself from it.
My wardrobe makeover isn’t just a restyle for you. It’s also a new system for your wardrobe. Everything will be at your fingertips, within easy reach. You’ll see exactly what you have, and you’ll know how to wear it beautifully.

Depending on which wardrobe makeover package you choose, I can advise you about where to donate unwanted clothes — or I can donate them for you.
I make sure they go to communities who will benefit from them, for example, the homeless or to women rebuilding their lives in women’s’ shelters.
I can also advise you on where to sell clothes or, depending on the package, sell them on your behalf.

No, because you already own almost everything you need to feel and look amazing.
You may have wardrobe gaps — key pieces which bring outfits together — but you won’t have to shop for new clothes. I can show you how to source high-quality items sustainably and remarkably affordably.

In all the years I’ve been restyling wardrobes, this has literally never happened. Even the most basic wardrobes can be restyled.
It’s about creativity… And, if you’ll forgive me for saying so, creativity is one of my key skills.
You too can become creative with outfit building. I’ll show you how it’s done.

I’m based in West Sussex. As a rough guide, anywhere within a 2-hour radius is fine although I’ll need to charge for travel time.

A wardrobe makeover works just as well online.
I offer an online wardrobe makeover called Restore Your Style. It’s a great way to transform the way you feel about yourself, in the time it takes to cook a casserole.

Absolutely NOT. It’s my job as a personal stylist to help you accept and love yourself as you are now. As women, we spend too much time beating ourselves up because we don’t conform to the fashion industry ideal.
When we hold onto clothes which don’t fit, waiting until we’re the perfect size to wear them, it damages our confidence and self-esteem.
Think of it this way:
Would you buy a new dress that was too small for you? Because next year you’re going to be a size 10 or whatever? You probably wouldn’t.
Wouldn’t it be kinder, and more loving, if you had a wardrobe full of clothes which fit you right now?

There are 3 things you can do:
Take the day off. Try not to commit to anything else because this day is all about you.
Think about all the places where you’ve stored clothes and shoes. The loft? The garage? Boxes under the bed? Dig them out. We’ll be sorting through everything.
Plan a nice lunch.
And that’s it. You can just enjoy the day.

As a personal stylist, I focus on sustainability.
The fashion industry, particularly fast fashion, is damaging our planet and exploiting the people who live here. It’s responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions — more than international flights and maritime shipping combined.
It’s easy to feel powerless. So, rather than waiting for politicians to act, I’m doing something about it.
My wardrobe makeover helps you feel better about yourself and it’s better for the planet. By reusing what’s already in circulation, there’s less overconsumption and waste. You start dressing more mindfully.
-
It’s my job to put the power into your hands. I’ll never issue rules about which colours to wear, and which ones to avoid.
If you love a particular colour, and it brings you joy, then go ahead and wear it with confidence.
It’s all about how clothes make you feel.
