The Cambridge Dictionary defines smart casual clothing as ‘neat and stylish, but not too formal’, especially when that is the accepted way of dressing for a particular situation, place or social occasion. In other words, smart casual isn’t one fixed outfit. It depends on where you’re going.
Making it your own
My job isn’t to hand you a formula; it’s to help you find the style that’s already yours. Style is a tool for building self-confidence and self-expression, it has nothing to do with trends, and nothing I offer is one size fits all. Every service is tailored to the individual: your life, your shape, your way of moving through the world.
‘Jeans and a Nice Top’: the workshop
My ‘Jeans and a Nice Top’ workshop is an intimate introduction to styling for groups of 2 to 10, held at a place of your choice, with tea and coffee. Together we explore what style means to you, how to dress for your body shape, and how colour works for you, and everyone takes home resources to keep. Groups of 2–4 are $40 per person; groups of 5–10 are $30 per person.
When the wardrobe is the problem
If you have a full wardrobe and still nothing to wear, The Wardrobe Edit ($450) explores your wardrobe together to understand why. It includes a style consultation, defining your style, a three-hour wardrobe edit, a digital Look Book created from your session outfits, and a shopping list for your wardrobe gaps. If you’ve already edited and are ready to add pieces, The Personal Shop ($450) is a three-hour guided shop with a style consultation and digital Look Book.
I work in person across the Barossa, Gawler and Adelaide, and online wherever you are. For dressing for a particular occasion, see my notes on what to wear to a Barossa winery and what to wear to the races in South Australia.
