Before you met Nicole what were your main struggles when it came to your professional wardrobe?
I was in a real wardrobe rut, having got into my late 30s after two maternity leaves and fallen out of love and time for shopping.
I had a wardrobe full of purchases bought for specific events (usually last minute) or random items for work and therefore it was not efficient or cohesive. I always felt like I had nothing to wear and very little that I felt cool or well-dressed in. I also lacked any good accessories, so my outfits did not feel put together. Generally, I felt depressed rather than inspired by my wardrobe.
What have you gained from this experience and what positive outcomes has it had on your life?
My experience with Nicole has genuinely been life-changing. I suddenly have a hard working wardrobe with outfits that I can go straight to knowing they look good together and can be interchanged, subject to the weather etc. It has made me realise that you cannot underestimate the value of self-esteem and confidence. I feel so good in my new wardrobe that I am more confident at work and feel really good about myself for the first time in years.
Would you recommend Nicole? Why?
Nicole is a wizard. I loved how she found items in my existing wardrobe (some that were old or my husband’s) and showed me how to make them work, so she was not simply focused on the new. She somehow got my style immediately, but also pushed me to go out of my comfort zone. We had such a fun day shopping together and I can’t wait to do it again for Spring/Summer!
