I’m pleased to recommend the excellent services provided by Pip Addison. Right from the start Pip understood my lack of fashion knowledge and the problems I had when choosing clothing.

Her clothing choices fitted not only my personality but also my budget and lifestyle to a tee, I now feel comfortable and stylish when I walk out the door whether it be for dinner, coffee with the friends or even with the kids.

I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Modern Style!

I just wanted to thank you once again for giving my wardrobe a new lease of life and for showing me your fabulous shopping tips.  Although I had always enjoyed shopping for clothes – now I LOVE IT!  You helped me choose items that better suited my body shape, could be mixed and matched with existing clothes and other new pieces and most importantly were great value for money.  

Your knowledge of fashion trends was amazing and although I like to have my own style, it was nice to know what not to wear and it was great to know what the look of next season will be.  Your retail background was really helpful in teaching me about the particular sizing that different stores have, and now I avoid the stores with sizes that don’t sit well on my frame. This has also saved time, which I never seem to have enough of!

I really enjoyed our day together and after our shopping expedition I couldn’t wait for an opportunity to wear something from my new wardrobe – especially the silver sandals which as you predicted have become a fashion favourite this season. 

I have recommended you to all of my friends and can’t wait to go shopping with you again for my winter wardrobe.  Thank you so much for re-igniting my passion for fashion and helping me to make myself look and feel great.  You’re a legend!

What a difference!!  My wardrobe was a collage of items from years gone by, the sentimental, the never worn and the just too small, I had the classic never throw anything out wardrobe.

Pip made it easy to decide what should stay and what should go, helping to replace discarded items with updated pieces while utilising what already existed in my wardrobe.

The shopping day was great, Pip manages to take you out of your comfort zone without making you uncomfortable and her knowledge is obvious throughout the day. 

I now try on things that I would not have before and think about how it will work with what I already have, I'm no longer overwhelmed when I open my wardrobe, I will definitely be shopping with Pip again.

It was time for a change.  I had moved house 3 years earlier and there were a bunch of clothes in my wardrobe that had not been worn since the move.  I had the frequently worn clothes in the front of my drawers, and a compost pile of unnecessary stuff at the back.

I never paid any attention to how I looked, and frankly, even if I wanted to, I had no idea what looked good on me.  I grew up in a country town where you wore your good double-pluggers to special occasions.  Which is simply to say that I wasn’t raised in a place where you paid attention to how you looked.   I never bothered to learn about any of this.

Knowing this, I called in the cavalry.  Pip and I had met some time earlier through a shared friend, and I remembered that this was what she did.

Two hours into the process, I had given to Lifeline 10 years worth of accumulated junk.  That alone was worth it.  After my shopping trip with Pip, I now own only clothes that fit, look good and are good value for money.  Some of these are new, some from my previous collection.

Short term Benefits:

  1. An interesting day out, experiencing a whole new way of thinking about clothes & shopping
  2. Clothes that were based on what I needed (actually needed, not thought I needed) and my budget. This is not about just going out and spending mega-bucks on ‘the hot look’.  I did need some fairly formal office wear (for a new-ish job), but the majority of the time was spent on good-fitting, appropriately styled basics.
  3. Good value shopping. Pip knows where all the specials are and gets you good deals on what you’re buying.
  4. A whole new understanding of what sort of clothes to wear, not wear and when.
  5. Frank, fearless and female advice on what worked and what didn’t.

Long term benefits

  1. I will no longer waste time looking for the few decent things I owned amongst the dregs, and can confidently dress in very little time for any occasion.  This will save me a lot of time in a month, and I’m not burdened with the clutter and mess in my wardrobe.
  2. I will no longer spend good money on clothes that are the wrong size, wrong style, or which I will not be comfortable in or just don’t need.  How many t-shirts do I really need to own?  I know what I need in my wardrobe, and where to get it at the appropriate level of quality and price.
  3. I’m now confident that I can dress well and appropriately for anything.

I would recommend Modern Style to anyone who wants to think about how they look and how they present in work and social settings.  If you’re perfectly happy with the status quo, this may not be an experience for you, but if you want to change, or even think you want to change, the guidance is well worth the price.
