Accountant, wife, mum, late 40’s
What she wanted
D had gone from living overseas and working in a corporate environment with a fantastic wardrobe, to being a busy mum, working from home. She didn’t feel good about herself anymore and no longer enjoyed shopping.
D came hoping to discover a defined style, have a wardrobe for her lifestyle (including a return to work in the corporate environment) and get her confidence back.
Her experience
Thank-you for an amazing styling experience! Not only do I now have the foundations of a great wardrobe which ‘just works’, I have a renewed sense of confidence in myself with a great template for understanding and further developing my personal style - one which encapsulates my personality, lifestyle and aesthetic.
Social media manager, wife, mum, early 30’s
What she wanted
J wanted clarity on her style and to be excited about her wardrobe. She needed some fresh ideas and inspiration. Being pregnant, her outfits needed to take her from pregnancy to post-partum and beyond.
J came hoping to get some new outfit ideas using pieces she already had as well as simple outfits that would make her feel the best version of herself, and suit her lifestyle as a working mum.
Her experience
Working with Trace to discover my personal style was a transformative experience that provided me with a clear understanding of my style and how to adapt it to my busy life as a mum. Trace's attentive listening, insightful questions, and supportive approach made me feel cared for and understood throughout the vulnerable process. This experience not only clarified the elements of my style but also boosted my shopping confidence by focusing on whether a garment aligns with my personal style rather than being distracted by colour. With style categories in mind and a running shopping list, I now approach my wardrobe more intentionally, identifying gaps and prioritizing essential pieces. Trace is known for her impeccable taste and refined approach, and through this enriching experience she has transformed my approach to my wardrobe and enhanced my life.
Designer and business owner, late 20’s
What she wanted
C wanted a clear understanding of what to look for when shopping. In the past she’d been reluctant to purchase more “stuff”, preferring the more sustainable approach of working with what she had.
She came looking for a distinct style that would define her brand and a clear understanding of the shapes that would suit her body. She wanted a more refined wardrobe of things she would wear all the time.
Her experience
I thought it would be a bit sad to let go of clothes during the Wardrobe Review, but it was the opposite - it left me feeling uplifted and excited about the clothes that I already have! I was cleansed of the clutter and was left with only my quality garments. The actual shop was great because I feel like I’ve really learnt how to shop properly, no longer buying the same thing over and over again. Tracey put me at ease with her confidence and care. Her expertise and attention to detail has made it easy to choose outfits every day.
Teacher, wife, mum and nana, early 60’s
What she wanted
J worked at home tutoring and occasionally went into school to do some tutoring. She mainly spent her free time outdoors but also visited friends and socialised with her husband. She was looking for a wardrobe refresh and refocus.
She came looking for an uncluttered wardrobe and to understand where the gaps were. She was hoping to gain a fresh understanding of correct fit for her body shape and wanted a capsule wardrobe that would mix and match, and fit in with her lifestyle.
Her experience
Having not worn pants for over a decade I felt fantastic in a pair of jeans that made me feel comfortable and contemporary. It’s opened up so many more possibilities in terms of outfits and I was amazed that I didn’t have to sacrifice comfort to look stylish.
Having a capsule wardrobe makes going out fun, you don’t have to agonise about what you’ll wear. You know you’ve got something for every occasion!
I learnt so much through the whole process. I was equipped to make far better choices and spend money more strategically as well as getting so much more out of my clothes.
