Changing bodies… and no not just because of weight loss meds - just life. Babies, hormones, life events…. all contribute to it. So often I see people struggling with their style and wardrobes not knowing how to maintain a wardrobe they feel connected to through any sort of change in their body. Take a look at this blog post based on a few of my tips, my experiences and why we all need to focus on the now.

If you’ve ever considered working with a personal stylist but wondered what actually happens — or worried they’ll arrive and try to completely change the way you dress — you’re definitely not alone.

There seems to be a point somewhere in our 30s and 40s when getting dressed suddenly becomes… hard. Which is strange, because it didn’t always feel this way. There was a time when you could wander into town, pick something up, bring it home and wear it. You could throw an outfit together without analysing every element of it, you knew which shoes worked, which bag to grab, and getting ready for a night out was exciting rather than something you started worrying about three weeks beforehand.

“Everyday life isn’t an emergency — so let’s stop treating self-care like a crisis response.
Looking after yourself shouldn’t wait until you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, or lost.
It’s the little things, done often: drinking the water, wearing the earrings, choosing the dress.
These tiny acts of self-kindness add up. They tell your brain you matter.
And brick by brick, they build a stronger, happier you.”

Somewhere along the way, many of us mums stopped dressing for ourselves and started dressing for survival—throwing on the same black leggings and grey jumpers, not because we love them, but because they’re easy. But what if the clothes we wear every day are sending a message—not just to others, but to ourselves—that we are here to serve rather than to be seen?

Only when everyone’s sorted, do you turn to yourself—what to wear? You stare at the wardrobe and feel the dread creeping in. Nothing feels right. Does this sound familiar?
