Teresa
“I believe what we wear matters – Dressing is more than putting on clothes. It’s about communicating and making a connection with not just what we wear, but also with who we are.”
Teresa is a professional stylist and image consultant with a passion in helping women live and dress with style, confidence and authenticity. Her focus for women is styling for the body and mind, wardrobe planning, and sustainable shopping.
Teresa believes dressing should be effortless, thoughtful and in harmony with who we are, and that shopping should be stress free and considered. There are many aspects to fashion - from the freedom it gives to express ourselves, to the beauty and creativity it provides, and how it can be transformational in a woman’s self-confidence, well-being and identity.
As a mature-aged stylist, Teresa brings a wealth of insight from her long corporate career and personal style journey. Her experience allows her to deeply understand the style challenges we women face – especially as we age and navigate changes in body shape or self-confidence. Teresa has helped women of all ages especially women over 40 with their style needs and knows firsthand how social pressures, stigma and self- judgement can influence what we wear and how we look.
Personal style is different for each of us in how we think, feel and what we choose to wear, and there is definitely no one style that fits all. Teresa is a big believer that style is achievable for everyone regardless of age, size, status, or lifestyle, and that there are no rules or restrictions when it comes to expressing our style, except for the ones we tend to place on ourselves.
Teresa’s focus is on how the clothes you wear make you feel and the importance of feeling comfortable and happy within yourself. She is passionate about encouraging you to embrace and live your own style, helping you to feel visible, confident, and empowered.
She is aware that when you leave your hands and trust in others, it can be daunting and natural to feel a little apprehensive of the unknown, and often, it can be easier to stick with what you know in what you wear, rather than explore different styles or colours for fear it won’t look right.
Teresa will guide you through all the noise and confusion with dressing and shopping and provide you with the confidence and practical knowledge to wear the clothes that flatter your body shape and to let you feel great about yourself and what you wear, but still aligning with who you really are. Most of all she will help you see yourself through fresh eyes and help shift the perception around social expectations around dressing based on age, size or lifestyle.
When it comes to knowing how to dress and shop with confidence, you really can’t put on price on investing in yourself, so whatever your wardrobe or styling needs, Teresa has you covered.

Describe my style: Eclectic, Refined, Creative, Considered.
I would describe my style as relaxed modern classic with a bit of edge. I love of wearing styles that give an outfit a point of difference. I am just as happy dressing up or dressing down. I have a love for layering textures and wearing high/low fashion - mixing classic styles with everyday basic pieces and accessories, to create my own unique and authentic style. Rather than follow trends I like to draw my ideas and inspiration from current and past trends and everyday street style.
3 fast facts about me:
1. I’m a homebody at heart but love to travel and explore new places and cultures.
2. I am a lover of art, nature, animals, photography, and architecture.
3. I believe age is no barrier to achieving style or anything else that inspires you.
