We can be lead to believe that Style is about simply buying more clothes. But how many of the clothes that you currently have in your wardrobe do you wear? The first thing any new clients says to me is ‘I hate my clothes’. My reply is always ‘let’s shop in your wardrobe first’. When we start to sift through everything they’re usually quick to reiterate their initial thoughts and often tell me ‘I hate everything’ to which I say ‘you have simply just forgotten how to wear your clothes’.
I truly believe that Style is about having a wardrobe full of clothes that you feel fabulous in and having outfits that suit every occasion. I know this works but why not take a look at Susan’s experience and see for yourself, then you can decide if you should shop in your wardrobe first.


I ask her to put on a jacket that belongs to a suit, that she no longer wore. I tuck the top in with a belt (which was mine) and change the shoes to trainers to give the outfit a more of an up-to-date look. This picture was taken 15 minutes into the consultation.
Here she is wearing the same jacket and trousers as before. This time however I’ve added two necklaces that she had only worn by themselves before. Layering the necklaces gave her a more up-to-date look and again added in a pair of her trainers. This picture was taken 20 minutes into the consultation.
An hour later and we are tucking in another top that would normally be left out. Shortening a classic pair of black trousers, which she never wore. Now Susan loved the look and could see her self-wearing them on so many occasions.
(They will look even better once they have been altered.)
As my Dolly becomes more confident I get her to try a statement earring and I can tell immediately from her body language that she loves it!
I look at someone’s clothes with fresh eyes and recreate new outfits. Shopping in your wardrobe is the best way to create new looks and reinvent your wardrobe and your style.
So as you can see, a wardrobe consultation with me truly is life-changing! We haven’t done this Dolly’s hair or added any make-up, I have simply styled her clothes differently. The photos – and her smile – say it all. That’s the power of discovering your true style.

Don’t just take my word for it….
“Recently I attended one of Alicia’s Style Club evenings where Alicia hosts an evening to share styling inspiration and tips. I wish I had been able to attend previous events as it was wonderful environment that uplifted everyone in the room. On this occasion I left with lots of ideas for an up-to-the-minute stylish summer holiday wardrobe.
This event followed on from a wardrobe consultation with Alicia earlier in the year. At the time I was just looking for help with a few outfits for a photo shoot and expected to have to go shopping for more outfits! As there are so many brands and designers to choose from it can feel overwhelming to know what works; especially when you are trying to figure this out by yourself. Instead Alicia helped me review my current wardrobe and showed me ways to put different outfits together with suggestions for accessories and a few additional items of clothing and shoes to complement my existing clothes.
So instead of spending more money I was able to get the most from my existing wardrobe, update with a few selected items and look and feel great!
Alicia’s approach is to get to know you as an individual and how you want to live your life. It’s not just about the clothes.
Her warmth, vitality and sensitivity helps you feel confident about what you who you are and what you are wearing. And Alicia knows exactly which accessories, such as shoes, bags and jewellery, will make all the difference to an outfit.
From my experience I would highly recommend that working with Alicia. By doing so you allow your unique style shine through and at the same time you’ll receive personal coaching and expert advice on what will make you look and feel fabulous.” Susan Tomlinson, Business Coach and Mentor.
