One of the things I love most about my job as a personal stylist is seeing someone completely light up when they reconnect with their style. Recently, I worked with the beautiful Alexia, whose transformation has really stayed with me — and I’m so grateful to be able to share her story with you. 


"The [new confidence] is all thanks to you. It has helped with my body confidence in a big way. Embracing what I have rather than hiding it or dulling it down." 


So, here’s what we did together — and how we made her wardrobe feel brand new, giving her the confidence to make considered choices that will stand the test of time. 


 

🎨 Colour Analysis in Sheffield: Finding Alexia’s Perfect Palette 


We started with a colour analysis session at her home in Sheffield, where I helped her discover which tones brought out the best in her natural colouring. Using the sub-seasonal method, we explored the colours that worked in harmony with her skin, eyes, and hair. 


It’s always such a joy to see the moment someone realises just how much of a difference the right colour and tone can make — not just to how they look, but how they feel


We discovered that Alexia was a Warm Spring – glowing in warm-toned, beautifully bright colours. 


Her colour chart was so beautiful, and she was excited to see how well the shades worked together — and how certain unexpected combinations looked amazing.


👗 Body Shape & Style Personality: Dressing for You  


Next, we chatted about her body shape and style personality. This part is always a relaxed, open conversation — no judgement, no rules, just real talk about what feels good.


Together, we explored the shapes, fabrics, and styles that suited her figure and aligned with her lifestyle. It’s not about changing your body — it’s about understanding it, working with it, and learning to love it. 


By the end of this session, she felt more confident in choosing pieces that truly reflected who she is — and that’s the goal for every one of my clients.

🧥 Wardrobe Edit: Shopping Her Own Wardrobe 


Instead of heading to the shops, we did a wardrobe edit right in her home. I love these sessions because there’s always hidden potential waiting to be discovered! 

We went through her existing wardrobe and pulled out pieces that already fit her newly discovered colour palette. Then, we created brand-new outfit combinations, styled in a way that complemented her body shape and personality. 


She was amazed at how much we could do with what she already owned — and left feeling inspired to wear things she’d previously overlooked. 


This is the magic of a thoughtful wardrobe edit: fresh style that allows for a more curated approach, making sure every new piece is considered for colour, shape, and style — and can work with other items in her wardrobe. 


No more overflowing drawers with nothing to wear — Alexia is now excited about her style again, and I’m so pleased to say her confidence is soaring. 


💬 Her Words, Her Way.


“Cari's session with me has been life-changing! She was dedicated to finding the best colour palette, colour combinations and contrasts, which have already elevated my personal style. Cari is so professional but also kind and open, and because of this we were able to accomplish so much. It has really uplifted my day-to-day life and made me excited to try so many new ideas. She really put in maximum effort to inspire me on my style journey. I highly recommend Cari!” 


Moments like that remind me how powerful personal style can be — not just for how we look, but for how we move through the world. 


💫 Ready to Feel That Way Too? 


If you’re in or around Sheffield and curious about finding your colours, understanding your shape, or making the most of your wardrobe, I’d love to help. 

You don’t need to overhaul your entire style — sometimes, all it takes is a fresh perspective and someone in your corner.
