Wardrobe
RESET

If you’re new to SVED you may have noticed I do things a little differently to other personal stylists.

For every first time client, one of those things is always starting with your wardrobe before doing any shopping.

By establishing a wardrobe that is fully functional and feels genuinely good for your daily reality, we create the foundation for everything that comes next.

What is happening during a Wardrobe RESET that is so valuable?

Wardrobes are kind of like a roadmap and a museum all in one. They hold multiple versions of our past, present and hint at our future.

• The goal is to reset and recalibrate the direction you’re headed. We do this by making sure we’re only keeping the stuff that we like, love, wear or have some kind of use for or positive sentimental attachment to, in our wardrobes.

• I NEVER make anyone get rid of anything but I do have an abundance of tips and tricks to make decision making easier and also ways to keep things without them weighing you down.

• Knowing what looks and feels good for you in your current work, life and body is the basis of feeling confident.

• You might notice that I didn’t say “what we wear”, knowing what looks and feels good - is often something we can lose touch with if we’re feeling busy or overwhelmed. It can be a really positive experience for many people to ask themselves in a really simple way, do I know what I like? If you’re not sure, this is one of the muscles we start building in the wardrobe RESET that you might find yourself flexing in other areas of your life too.

• Back to the wardrobe…

• Once you do know what you like and why, choosing what to wear or buy becomes so much easier. And  spending many hours with people in their wardrobes and in the shops, the best place to start is in your own wardrobe.

• Confidence doesn’t come from one good outfit, but, when you can feel confident in what you like and why, it builds confidence for you to create outfits confidently time and time again. think of it like the old saying “give a girl a fish OR give her the fishing rod”.

• Clients come to me when they are overwhelmed by their wardrobe, or feeling bored. By bringing  fresh eyes into your wardrobe we can get creative by bringing what you own to life again with new outfit combinations. The number of new looks that clients get out of their existing wardrobe before buying anything new is one of the things people are consistently surprised by. it makes sense too, it’s really easy to lose perspective about what’s in your wardrobe and how it all works when you’re looking at it every day. Things start feeling old or tired when you wear them the same way all the time.

• If you’re a dork like me, consider it one of the richest sources of “data” or “clues”.  Every little item shares something about where you’ve come from, styles you’ve tried, loved, grown out of or been curious to explore. Most people have a few pieces that they’ve never really known what to do with.  That’s the kind of thing we look at in your Wardrobe RESET, how to get to the bottom of what is going on in your wardrobe, how to get it moving again and all the pieces doing what they should. Being worn, enjoyed and easy to operate.

• During the Wardrobe RESET we go on this little tour together. You tell me your stories, you try things on, we discuss what works but ultimately, what we’re working towards is setting the wardrobe up for the wardrobe that supports you for who you are today and acts as a catalyst for what you want in the future.

• The magic happens through getting to know yourself, your wardrobe and style throughout the process.

• Once your wardrobe is RESET, you’re sorted. The other stuff becomes easier.

• I’m gonna tell you a secret…I don’t love shopping (don’t tell anyone). This is why I tell people to start with a Wardrobe RESET because I want you to be able to shop for yourself, and if you do want to shop with me, I’ll show you how to shop like a stylist.

• My shopping sessions are strategic, targeted and designed to match your wardrobe, your goals and your life in a way that takes the overwhelm and uncertainty out of the whole process. People actually report that they find these sessions FUN.

• So, in concluding this essay…I start with a Wardrobe RESET so that you can reconnect with that little voice inside of you that knows what they want.

• When your wardrobe is aligned specifically with your values, lifestyle and goals you can expect.

• More ease and confidence in getting dressed and choosing different outfits

• Your physical wardrobe space to be easier to navigate

• You’ll know what’s in your wardrobe and how to wear it

• You’ll have greater clarity in what you like and why

• We will have addressed tricky styling questions e.g. weird tie tops and belts you’ve never worn

• You’ll have a clear sense of what to do with the things you’re ready to let go of

The Wardrobe RESET is where we get to the heart of who you are to make space for what matters most to you now. 

My promise to you is that I come with kindness, curiosity and zero-judgement.
