I would love a stylist just for the day...

[Daydreaming]

I think I have quite a lot of nice clothes and shoes. Some of them expensive, some of them cheap. BUT I always think that considering how much money I have probably spent on all those things, I should look better dressed...

I was just thinking recently that I need a new paid of ankle boots, and then I started thinking that maybe it was a new bag I needed... etc. What I would really love is for someone to go through my clothes and tell me exactly what is missing to make the most of what I have, IYSWIM.

Does anyone else feel that way?? Has anyone had "professional help" with their wadrobe ??

I feel exactly the same! I spend quite a lot on clothes but still find it hard to put outfits together. I know I'm guilty of buying too many of the same items, ie I have about 20 breton tops and over 30 cardigans!

I have been ebaying quite a bit recently. I'm trying to get to the stage where I have a lot less in my wardrobe, but actually wear all of it.

Sorry not to offer any good advice but bumping and lurking to see if any of the super-stylish can offer their advice.

Where are you? My friend has just set up a business doing exactly this stuff in the Kingston area of London.

There's loads of image consultants around. You can either find an independent one or go somewhere like House of Colour, where the first thing they will do is analyse what colours suit you best and which you should avoid - quite a useful first step to organising your wardrobe.

One of my friends is an image consultant and loves it. She is very good and is often on the local radio.
