Hear from clients of Living for Style

I love fashion. But I had so many pieces that I just didn’t wear. I had tried various online courses to try and tackle my wardrobe and style but honestly nothing beats working one on one with a stylist, and I’m happy to say I hit the jackpot when I chose Shannon.

I was about to downsize into an apartment and also turn 60, so I needed to shake things up. It was so liberating working with Shannon as she really distilled my style. This made it painless to do a wardrobe cull to get rid of all the ‘noise’ and streamline my looks. With Shannon’s help, it all made sense.

She helped me focus on what suited me best and how to mix and match bottoms and tops. I realised I had largely given up on this, especially for summer, only wearing dresses so as to avoid having to think about this! When I recently had one of my regular zoom sessions with Shannon, she asked me what I found myself wearing. She was a little puzzled that my dresses were not front and centre. But it was actually for a great reason – I could work all my tops and bottoms that I had avoided for years! Skirts I loved but hadn’t worn found friends to match with. And I discovered dressy shorts as well.

Shopping was always going to be fun, but it was also so purposeful. Shannon selected tops and pants silhouettes that I didn’t know were missing from my winter wardrobe and this really allowed me to extend my dressing options. Instead of bulky jumpers that swamped me, Shannon introduced me to fine knits and cropped jackets, and I haven’t looked back. She is all over what is currently in the stores and which options would suit me.

Organising my wardrobe space in my new apartment with Shannon was eye opening. How was it that I had half the space I used to have, yet ten times more outfits to put together. Hanging my tops meant I could see them easily. Separate sections for skirts, pants and shorts made it easy to find them. And the handy look books are there for inspiration too.

Working with Shannon has sharpened my eye and my style. The money you save from buying well makes it really worth it. Shannon has definitely put the fun and functionality back into fashion for me.

She is an open, engaging and enthusiastic professional to work with. Thanks Shannon!
