10 reasons to work with a personal stylist
Author: Imogene Whittle

There are many benefits to working with a Spree with Me personal stylist
Here are 10 of them:
A personal stylist will help you to dress in items that complement you:
colours that make you shine like you’ve just been on holidays,
shapes that flatter your body and accentuate your best assets, and
styles that make you feel like you’ve finally stepped into the best version of yourself.
As a result, you’ll feel more confident wearing clothing that’s stylish and comfortable because they feel authentically you and represent who you really are inside and out.

2. You’ll feel more confident
When was the last time you stepped out with the confidence that you looked ‘a million dollars’? When a personal stylist has helped curate your outfit, you can have absolute confidence that you look fabulous. And that is sure to affect how you feel on the inside too.
It’s so common for ladies to have little hang-ups about ourselves, and sometimes these can translate through our dressing. A stylist can help you to transform the psychology behind your outfit choices, and help you shine with confidence in outfits that accentuate your best assets. Sometimes just a short amount of time with a personal stylist can teach you lessons that will have a significant and long-lasting positive influence in your life.
“you’ll feel more confident wearing clothing that’s... authentically you and represent who you really are inside and out.”
3. Make a great first impression
First impressions are made within 7 seconds, or less. While you can’t tell your entire story in that short time - your personality, values, loves, work, study or passions, you can convey a lot through your clothes. By curating your outfits, you can leave a great first impression that appropriately represents you and what you want to convey.
This impact is felt by you and everyone around you. For example, have you ever worn a yellow dress and realised more people in the street are smiling at you?
Making a great first impression can influence your earning potential, especially if you’re in business with a personal brand or work in sales. While words, body language, facial expressions and hygiene all have an important role to play here, your first impression will be significantly amplified if you’ve also nailed your style goals.
4. Reliable expert advice
Working with a personal stylist is much more than having a fun shopping buddy. Our Style Squad are experienced and trained stylists, image and colour consultants, brand strategists and more.
We will understand your personality, your personal style archetype, your lifestyle, future goals and more. We will know what you already have in your wardrobe. We’ll give you nurturing and empowering advice from your first consultation, to planning and actioning your experience. Based on an in-depth consultation with you and their expertise, we can advise you what to wear and what not to wear. This is much more of an enriched experienced than having the opinion of an in-store stylist.
And while it’s fun to go shopping with your girlfriends, it’s much harder to break out of old habits with someone with the same style mindset as yourself.

5. Discover new styles and places
If you’re in a style rut, it may be time for a change. What’s a style rut? For starters, if you always buy the same shape, brand or colour. If you only wear 20% of your wardrobe, or if you don’t know how to mix and match items you already own. If you haven’t tried any new shapes and styles recently.
We particularly love supporting introducing you to Australian brands and we’ve got an eye for style over new fashion trends. We also love items that are friendly to our earth and the people who make them.
6. Get pampered
This experience is all about YOU. Working with a personal stylist, you’ll feel visible, heard and supported. In our hectic lives where it’s easy for women to fall into the trap of serving everyone else above ourselves. Taking time to do things like this to honour yourself is wonderful self care.
7. Save time
A Stylist will help you to save time. You’ll save time deciding what to wear each morning or before a big event, and maximise your time spent in the stores or searching online.
For an in-person shop, your stylist will first do a ‘pre-shop’, so when you shop in store with them, they’ll know the exact item they’re bringing you in to look at.
Stylists can also provide you with online shopping advice, or follow up services of online shopping recommendations.

8. Save money
Some women find themselves in a perpetual ‘hunting and gathering’ of new items. But with a wardrobe curated by a personal stylist, you’ll avoid impulse shopping, purchase regret and online purchasing disasters. This is particularly true if you’ve ever been the kind of person to buy something ‘just because it’s on sale’, or if you’ve got unworn (or once-worn) items hanging in your closet.
We will teach you to invest in items you’ll love and wear more, thus increasing your wear-per-dollar value. As Vivienne Westwood famously said, “buy well and make it last”.
9. Shop more consciously
Using a personal stylist is a great way to make the change towards choosing items that positively affect the lives of local workers and the environment. The Spree Style Squad can guide you to improve your purchasing habits. They can help you to make decisions towards pieces that are made with care to the environment and the people who made them.
We can also show you how to wear items you already have in new ways, shop your wardrobe and shop pre-loved items.

10. It’s fun!
Above all, this should be an uplifting and joyful experience. You get to reveal your truest self, explore new places, experience new things, and all with a fabulous stylist to guide you.
It’s time to leave any negative self-talk behind - because you are worthy of shining like the Queen that you are. Enjoy it!
