For a lot of us trying to embrace sustainable fashion, one theme comes back over and over again: overwhelm. So many of my styling clients or sustainability newbies tell me “I want to start shopping sustainably; I want to get into sustainable fashion, but I just don’t know where to start, it’s overwhelming.” And to this, I say “I know”.

Transitioning to a sustainable wardrobe can be an intimidating task, even for the most motivated of us. In my years of practice, I’ve put together a simple process, so you can make the switch seamlessly.

For a long time, I resisted the idea of a Capsule Wardrobe, because I found it so limiting and restricting. Forcing myself to have no more than 30 pieces, feeling guilty for owning 10 pairs of shoes (ok, a bit more, but we’re not here to judge), and all these other arbitrary rules. If that’s how you feel about capsule wardrobes, then I feel you, my friend. You’re in the right place: one of non-judgment and freedom.

And then something happened, that changed my perspective.

One of the things that we look at when we go shopping is looking at the price of the item – of course! We don’t have an unlimited budget! But the problem is this: we see the price as an isolated number. “Oh wow! £75 for a shirt! People are crazy! I’m not paying that, it’s way too expensive”.

And I’m going to tell you right now, I used to do the same thing. But I changed my mind when I understood the concept of CPW!

So you’re interested in Sustainable Fashion, but it’s expensive. You want to try it, but you don’t know where to start. You read a lot about it, but you don’t trust brands. It might merely be a trend! Well, believe it or not, I get the struggle!

I’ve made a quick list of the pros and cons of a sustainable wardrobe, just to help you see if you think it’s the right move for you – no spoiler alert here.

Autumn is coming! And you know what it means: you have to find ways to transition your summer wardrobe into autumn.

Well, I have good news, you don’t have to change your whole wardrobe quite yet. Actually, you will only have to change a few pieces and accessories, if you follow these two principles. So here is how to transition your wardrobe from summer to autumn

Let me guess… You wake up in the morning, get everything done, and stand in front of your wardrobe thinking: “I don’t know what to wear today” or even worse, “I have nothing to wear”.
A well-curated wardrobe that reflects who you are, and that provides you with tons of options, even from a few pieces – that’s the secret. A wardrobe that reflects your personality, and saves you time and money. This is how: Your signature style.

If you think you know what a personal stylist does, but still believe anything from the list below, it’s time to let me change your mind.

Let’s tackle all this, misconception after misconception, so that it’s clear once and for all, is a personal stylist worth it and what is it like to work with one – AKA me! Let’s dive in.
