MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

You might discover a gap in your wardrobe when you struggle to put an outfit together. For example, you’re going to a girlfriend’s birthday dinner on Saturday night, you want to wear that new top you bought in the sales, and when you try it on during the week, you realise you don’t have the right bra to wear with it. That’s a gap.

Another way to identify a gap is to look at your clothes and consider whether adding something new could give you more outfits.

Here, it’s a white ribbed tank.

The tank can obviously be worn on its own as a simple top, layered under a shirt, cardigan, blazer, or coat. It has a great neckline and can add texture and an extra color, i.e., depth to an outfit.

Looking for gaps is what I do during a wardrobe session. I analyse the wardrobe and think about what’s missing, then consider what could be added. The idea is that by filling a gap, it’ll have a significant impact on your wardrobe and how you dress.

FYI – My current favourite white tank is one I just bought myself before Christmas. Important things for me were straps that are wide enough to wear a bra, a nicely shaped low neckline, and good sturdy fabrication (not too flimsy). Subscribe to my Fab Finds if you’d like to see which one I bought. Read about it (and see examples of what I post) here.

Like everything you wear, your jewellery should feel authentic to you and your personal style.

Choose it thoughtfully, in a way that reflects your individuality. The most meaningful pieces are often those with a story — earrings found on a holiday in Italy, your Nan’s pearls, or your Dad’s watch.

This is Costanza Pascolato. Among her jewellery, you’ll almost always find a silver skull ring — a distinctive piece that has become her signature.

I was forever messaging clients saying, “Somebody just bought this dress, I think you should check it out”, or “I saw these shoes on sale and I thought of you”. There was always something that I wanted to share. A piece a client bought while I was shopping with them, a vintage gem I came across on eBay that was too good to get away, or my favourite little navy dress of the season.

I’d also notice that occasionally my clients made (costly) mistakes when I wasn’t around to see what they were buying. (i.e., help them with the sizing, fabric, etc.)  

I thought if I collectively (privately on Instagram) suggested to them what they could add to their wardrobe in between our shopping trips, then they’d make fewer expensive errors.

And that’s how Fabulous Finds & Favourite Things came about.

The aim is…

To make shopping easier. To take the time, overwhelm, frustration, and confusion out of it.

To help you build a functional and versatile wardrobe that you love.

To introduce you to new things (brands, shops, clothes, styling hacks, etc.) that you otherwise may not have known about.

To encourage you to think about curating a great wardrobe, rather than just about buying stuff.

It’s like I’m doing the personal shopping for you – as well as giving you styling ideas and expert advice – without my hourly rate. -:)

The Fab Finds & Fave Things subscription is ideal for anyone who…

• Wants to look and feel good but doesn’t have the time (energy or inclination) to physically go shopping.
• Would like to stay up to date with what’s in fashion.
• Might not be able to afford to work one-on-one with me, but would still love to learn about style, fashion, and shopping, and have the chance to ask me questions.
• Doesn’t want to make any more costly fashion mistakes
• Would just like to be shown what to buy.

This is what one of my subscribers Kate emailed me to say about Fab Finds…

The subscription cost is…

$99 for 6 months

$169 for 12 months

That’s $3.35 per week. Less than a latte 😉

If you would like to subscribe, have any questions, or would like further details about it, you can email me at meaghanbs@hotmail.com
