Little bit about me, I’m 44 with 5 year old twins. I’ve never ever been able to style myself right. I find clothes shopping awful. I but cheap clothes that dont last and never look particularly good.
I’ve decided that this can no longer continue, I’m so sick of looking dreadful so I’ve booked an appointment with a stylist in Manchester. It’s definitely a splurge just for the appointment, but I can afford it.
when asked for budgets I’d put £400-£500 which to me seemed like a lot, but they’ve come back and, in a really lovely no pressure way, asked if it could be increased. For instance a pair of jeans could cost £130 but they’re an amazing fit and will last for years.
so my question is, when you’ve never before invested in clothes but are desperate to look better, and if you can afford it, would you go for the higher budget and try and build a capsular wardrobe with good quality items that can be mixed and matched?
