I’d love you to teach me to combine my style ideas.
I compare myself too much to others and am tempted to follow trends
How can I know what pieces go together
How do I create more interest and excitement in my outfits?
My biggest style challenge is dressing for my apple shape–specifically for tops that don’t emphasize my muffin top and yet don’t look like maternity tops.
I find I’m always wearing the same items – how can I get out of my style rut?
Are you stuck on style rules? don’t believe in rules, I believe in principles and the science behind why something does or doesn’t work, and these are then guidelines or suggestions which you can try on for size, and then decide what does or doesn’t work for you.
You get to be in charge as it means your style aligns with your personality, your lifestyle, your colouring and your unique body.
I struggle with not knowing how to combine clothes harmoniously and interestingly
And I thought – you’re not the only one – and it’s because knowing your body shape doesn’t tell you how to do this (and that’s what most people think they need to know to become stylish). Instead, there is so much more to this question and struggle to unpack.
I have a question–I just read your post about wearing your good clothes every day and its effect on how people see you as well as how you feel about yourself. I work at home. People see me from the waist up. How important is it that I wear a full-on “good” outfit every day at work?
What you wear is a powerful form of non-verbal communication and research has shown that how you appear, your personal presentation, and attractiveness have the power to impact your income in positive or negative ways. Have you thought about what your image is saying and the impact it may be having on your career?
Right now I’m struggling with my style I’m having chemo and then breast surgery- so thin and straw-like hair, weight gain from chemo and a future flat chest are taking over my style at present and I lack energy – any tips?
Biggest challenge is finding clothes I a) like in shops that b) suit my age and figure. Clothes are either super skimpy or loose-fitting which only makes me look bigger than I am.
Wearing a scarf simply adds bulk to my profile. Aside from waistcoats and jackets, is there any thing else I can do to reintroduce a little white?
This is really common and there is a good reason why you’re not feeling consistently stylish – and I have a solution for you

When does your body shape change from one to another? What’s the turning point from an 8 shape to H shape?
I have recently gained some menopausal weight. Since I have always been very skinny, this is a challenge for me because I now have lost my style and do not know how to dress anymore.
I just don’t know how to transfer my style into something that fits and flatters my body.
I lack the confidence to trust my own judgement on style. I need to learn to trust myself. Have you any tips on doing this?
Biggest challenge is finding clothes I like in shops that suit my age and figure.
I struggle with learning to dress a very short, kinda curvy (61kg) body with very short legs in a way that is not girly, looks good and powerful in flat shoes.
My biggest issue right now is finding age appropriate clothes
I have noticed different attitudes towards the value of style and how men and women often see it differently.
In This Episode 0.08 My concern is how do I feel stylish AND comfortable at work! I have a 1 hour commute, with some walking, and sneakers are not an option at the office… I am curvy, 5’6″ a UK 16 up (big bust) and a 12 down. So it is not easy to find…
In This Episode “Where should I shop?” was a question I got emailed by a lovely reader this week. And my answer was “I don’t know”. Why is this? Because there are so many other things I need to know BEFORE I could even think about suggesting places to shop. In fact, shopping is really…
In This Episode Many years ago (aka 2004) just after I’d completed my image consultant training course and launched my personal styling business, I was out shopping at a local boutique. I walked in the door and started looking around at what was available, immediately, I as approached by a sales assistant who said “I’ve…
In This Episode People talk about having superhuman strength in times of crisis to do things like lift a car off someone to rescue them. Yet some people do this for fun so I discovered recently. My son and his girlfriend recently competed in a Strongman competition for the first time. I’ve never been to…

How do I create outfits that respect my natural style, my soft cool light colouring and my curvy X shape body with the season of winter.
How do I feel stylish and comfortable at work – I need to be able to walk easily, but sneakers are not an option at the office, I’m also a very top-heavy body shape (2 sizes different top to bottom)?
Have you lost your sense of style or feel like you never had one?
What is a Signature Style Anyway?
It can be a look that is almost like a uniform, think Vogue editor Anna Wintour (signature bob, frock and sunglasses), or Ellen Degeneres (pants, shirt and sweater or vest), or Jackie Kennedy Onassis – where you can pretty much guess what they will wear each day. It’s a very defined look if you go for the uniform version.
My biggest problem with my style is that I seem to have lost it! I began dressing casually when I had kids and I just never seemed to get my flair back. I am also a theatre nurse so when I go to work I get changed into my “pajamas”. So I haven’t put much effort into how I look as I just get changed. I guess I’ve just lost my spark and aren’t sure how to get it back. I see lots of stuff I like but at 51 I’m not sure what works for me and I find it easier to just fall back into track pants/active wear.
If I wanted to put it in a nutshell, my biggest style struggle is overwhelm. I’ve been told that my colouring is Clear and deep winter, and true winter and bright spring and vivid winter and so I’m totally confused and then as far as body shape goes there are so many systems, from Kibbe to Trinny and Susannah (What not to wear) and so many more. I’m so confused I don’t know who to believe and what to do. I wish had the self-confidence to dress with certainty rather than always feeling confused about what is right.
