Personal Shopping
Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them
My mantra when shopping is : love it madly, need it badly ….. or don’t buy it!
When your wardrobe only contains clothes and accessories that you love and that work for you, that’s what you’ll wear every day.
Conscious, informed and focused shopping is an important part of having items you need and that really suit your personal preferences, colouring, body shape and lifestyle.
You may, or may not, currently enjoy shopping. I am supportive, patient and honest as I guide you through your shopping experience. Shopping with me as your Style Coach™ is an opportunity to evolve your personal style, explore what you are attracted to and, with my guidance, try things you wouldn’t usually consider. It’s an opportunity to be adventurous, learn and enjoy yourself as we make confident choices in pulling together an outfit and adding the finishing touches. Create looks that are an expression of your authentic self whatever your daily needs.
This session can be one of the most informative parts of the Style Coaching™ process as you develop your eye for confidently choosing what you add to your clothing collection now and in the future. Future shopping trips become a focused and enjoyable experience and save you time and money.

It is perfectly acceptable to go shopping with me and not purchase anything. There will never be pressure to make a purchase you can’t afford or dislike. You’ll still receive the many benefits of shopping with me as your Style Coach™ including educating your eye to look for the colours and styles that enhance and putting a look together complete with accessories and finishing touches.
When shopping with me, I can’t guarantee we’ll be successful and find every item you are looking for. This, of course, depends on what is in the shops and the fit of what we discover.

How it works
Beforehand, we’ll prepare by discussing the aim of the shopping trip, create a list, discuss your budget and where you would like to shop.
Where possible, I’ll visit a range of shops in advance and look for items that suit your style, needs and budget.
We’ll look for the clothes and accessories that work for you and that you need and I’ll guide you on how to shop for the colours, cuts and styles that complement your colouring, body and personal style. Lifestyle is also a fundamental consideration. I’ll make suggestions taking account of your preferences and tastes and encourage you to be open minded – often the clothes you wouldn’t have considered become your favourites and most successful.
A garment should fit well and make you feel comfortable and confident. I respect your privacy in the changing room and will do the running if you need a different size, colour, accessory etc. We’ll look for the clues that let you know whether an item of clothing works or not. I will explain why elements of the item work or not – it’s all too easy to blame your body rather than the construction of the item and the fit. It’s fine if you try things on and decide not to buy.
We’ll look at how you usually approach shopping – what attracts, distracts or overwhelms you. It’s easy to be distracted by one aspect of the piece – the colour, print, fabric, detail, label and the price – and not look at the piece as a whole. You’ll find shopping with me in a focused, planned, enjoyable way will make this and future shopping trips enjoyable and successful.
For this session to be successful, we’ll already have worked together on the colours and styles that work for you at some point. If this is an additional service, and not part of the Lucy Barrett Transformational Style Coaching™ Programme, we will have a video call beforehand to discuss your current needs.
