I LOVE this $99 printed frock from Zara, so I put my stylist skills to the test to ensure I could wear it all year round
Playground in the winter, to date night in summer, this dress can do it all!
It’s such a workhorse and the reason is that the colour AND shape flatters my features which makes styling it easy
This is the actual real-life capsule I created when I relocated from the Middle East back to Australia to live
I had a variety of business meetings, parental duties, social events, freelance fashion design work etc. I was doing, so needed a Colour Capsule© Wardrobe that could keep up with this wide variety of demands
I was unconventional in that it contained a check blazer, floral bag, green pants and bright red sneaker laces…but yet they all worked together
This shows how far you can push a ‘capsule wardrobe’ in terms of pattern & fun!

We all have parts of our body we’re more confident of, so I support fashion brands that give consumers a choice like @Gingerandsmart here
Witchery, Cue & Veronika Maine design alternative shapes from the same printed fabric too
Weekly I hear clients claim ‘I can’t wear that because of my age’. My reply? ‘Rubbish’
I create timeless & ageless outfits
It’s more about personal style & body confidence
I bought a pair of red pants, purely because I’d outfitted all these outfits for 2 different clients with very different body types and personal styles…without the use of 1 black top!
INSPIRATION WORKS BOTH WAYS!!
Try wearing your favourite colour on your bottom…
Wearing colours that flatter you has an ENORMOUSLY positive effect on how you look & FEEL
There are so many benefits making a colour consult the most TRANSFORMATIVE service

SEASON : AUTUMN
Almost all my clients gravitate towards some tone of grey, yet it’s one of the most unflattering shades on most people!
Sarah’s deep warm colourings needs rich shades.
Earthy forest colours make Sarah glow and you can see the improvement, even in how glossy her hair becomes!
SEASON : WINTER
Victoria looks best in jewel hues with strong blue undertones, which echos the strong contrast between her features
She can take a lot more deep, true colour than the pale dress that washed out her beauty!
Use clothes to change the focus of your outfit (and your mindset) to show off your best bits!
Left photo = my clients focus is her bust, yet the shirt adds bulk here and creates incorrect proportions
The dress = compliments her fantastic bust AND shows off her small waist!
This short dress no longer satisfied my clients lifestyle, so I gave it a sophisticated makeover!
By changing the use from a dress to a top, I re-purposed it, so I used the same strategy on my one-shoulder dress!
Then I engaged my 4 Step Makeover Process to transform this top, again, using what my client ALREADY owned
About a quarter of my clients are ‘petite’ and get overwhelmed by too much fabric.
Heidi (photo 1) is also a pear shape, so where her top length finishes with multiple layers + belt, accentuates this which makes her feel unconfident
Simple small changes to proportions create a big difference to how clients FEEL in their clothes

It’s amazing when your clothes work with you, rather than against you, particularly crucial for an everyday essential like your jeans
See how different these 2 jean shapes make Anjali body type look like they belong to 2 different people!?!
