One of the first clients I ever worked with was a lady called Kelly who was introduced to me by a mutual friend. She was looking for a ‘dress to impress’ for a Christmas party and wanted a little advice and help from someone who knew about dressing to flatter body shapes, was up-to-date with the latest trends and knew the best stores to go to.
After two years since we first met we still keep in touch and I recently asked her to write a few words about our first styling session for my website and she has very kindly sent me such an overwhelming testimonial that I thought I’d share with you her views and likes of the Noreen Elizabeth Styling service.
I had an upcoming Christmas party that I wanted to make a true statement at but I was increasingly getting frustrated by trying on new trends that did not suit me and reverting back to the good old boring ‘little black dress’ that I had so many of. I had been recommended Noreen Elizabeth from a friend who suggested that I have a consultation with her to see if she could help. At this point I had nothing to lose so I agreed.
I must say that from the first meeting I could tell that Noreen had spent a great deal of time gathering information on current trends and what was out there in the marketplace before we had the consultation.
At the consultation Noreen asked insightful questions to understand the venue I was attending, where my confidence levels were with my figure/style etc. and what I normally buy and feel comfortable in. This was followed by a colour and body shape dressing session in which I was provided with recommended styles/colours that would work with my body type, hair and skin tones. To my surprise strong colours were key for me so I decided to keep this in my mind when going shopping with Noreen and to be open to trying new things.
Noreen was extremely friendly, patient and it felt like going shopping with an old friend (but a friend that really knew what they were talking about). It did not take long to find the perfect dress for the occasion and what was invaluable for me was the learning’s that I gained throughout the shopping session. By trying on different outfits and styles, I was advised what parts worked and what didn’t and why. This knowledge I am still using today and helps me out every time I struggle to find that perfect outfit.
The outcome was I purchased an electric blue dress, with a shocking pink handbag and jewellery to match that looked amazing together and fit me perfectly and to this day without using Noreen Elizabeth Styling I would never have put this outfit together or even tried on the dress at all. I would recommend anybody to use Noreen be that for a special occasion or just purely because you are stuck in a fashion/trend rut.
