Welcome to The Style Architect
I'm Jan, The Style Architect. I'm here to help;
• Women who run their own business
• Women who are leaders in their organisations.
• Women who are influential.
• Women who make a difference.
• Women who want to be visible.
You are a woman that knows herself and wants to invest in herself.
BUT You struggle with what is in your wardrobe.
If your wardrobe isn't saving you time and making you money, its not working for you
You want clarity in your wardrobe, your want to elevate your personal brand, you want to be the best version of yourself.
Your Personal Stylist
You know your stuff, you are an expert in your field and you know you need to elevate your personal brand. I can't wait to help you open up a whole new world of colour and style.
I have always loved clothes, I've made my own clothes since I was 10 years old, I had a business as a Dressmaker before Personal Styling took over.
I have always put different outfits together, having fun with colour, patterns and texture. I have a minimal wardrobe myself but my outfits are ever changing.
I love to help women understand how to style their body shape, women who can't see that they have style, and women who have a wardrobe full of clothes but barely wear any of them!
Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.

How did you get here?
I'm excited that you discovered me.
You have a wardrobe full of clothes and struggle to put together an interesting collection of outfits. You would like to make the most of what you have, cut out the overwhelm you feel every time you open the doors and get some clarity in what you can wear to run your business, be a leader, be influential and make a difference.
I am not about telling you everything in your wardrobe is wrong and needs to be replaced. It's likely you have what you need and far more besides. I am passionate about making the most of what you have, re-inventing it, recreating new combinations and only buying new items that will tie a number of things together. If you need the extras to elevate your wardrobe then I'm all about small independents with ethically sourced clothing. If you're after fast fashion, I'm not the stylist for you.
When you are being the best version of you, I want you to have no thought about what you are wearing because it's all been taken care of. I want to save you time, money and energy because with your knowledge about how to use colour, how to dress your body shape and your very own style you will stop spending money on clothes you never wear, save time getting dressed every day and save the mental energy procrastinating on what to wear and where to find it.

Wardrobe Edit
What's in your wardrobe?
Have a look inside your wardrobe. What do you see, what do you think, what do you feel?
One of the most common things I get asked to help with is to sort out wardrobes. Why?
Chances are it's full of stuff you don't wear, don't want to wear, have never worn. You cant find the things you want to wear because its too full. Not to mention the pile of shoes and other random crap in the bottom and at the top. You can't find everything, it's too full and it makes you feel overwhelmed.
You have to get dressed everyday, so why not change what you see. Each time you open your wardrobe it should be a delight, not a dread.
Here are 7 simple tips for getting clear on what is in your wardrobe.
1. Book an afternoon out, this could take some time
2. Take out the stuff that doesn't belong in the wardrobe. Anything that isn't clothes or accessories. No one wants to be faced with suitcases, bedding, old curtains, stuff that you're hiding in there. You want your clothes in there and that is all.
3. Have a look at all of your clothes. Every single individual piece of clothing in there. Does it make your heart sing? Do you love it? If it's just ok but not great, take it out. You deserve to get dressed in the things you love. If it doesn't fit, and doesn't make you feel fabulous when you put it on, it doesn't deserve to be there. Anything to bin - take it to the recycling centre. Anything to sell - photograph and list it. Anything to donate - bag it and take it to the charity shop.
4. Pull out anything that you do love, that does look great and if it needs fixing - get it fixed. Be intentional, if it’s not fixed within two weeks, it’s not going back in your wardrobe.
5 Buy some beautiful storage boxes. Often we do have clothes that mean something but more often than not those memories are stuffed somewhere in the back of the wardrobe or in a draw, never see the light of day but are cluttering up your wardrobe space as well as your head space. If you create a memory box then all of the memory based clothes that you are not ready to get rid of can go in the box and you can look and feel as often as you want.
6. Buy beautiful hangers. No one should have hangers from the dry cleaners in their wardrobe and I don't advocate plastic hangers either. If you can lay your hands on wooden hangers then how beautiful is that, to have everything in your wardrobe on a wooden hanger, that looks so delightful when you open the door each morning. Wooden hangers will help protect your clothes and help them last longer. (Ikea do a pack of 10 for a reasonable price.)
7. Create some order in your wardrobe. Different things work for different people so you decide. Colour order, garment order, outfit order. I personally keep all the tops at one end and then the trousers, skirts and dresses.
8. Don't abandon your accessories. Bring them to order too, you need to see what you have and they need to be cared for.
What will all this achieve? It means you don't open your wardrobe every morning to chaos. You know you can see everything you have and you can plan ahead for what you will wear. You will save so much time and energy not having to over think what to wear because you can see it, see what works and easily access it.
Too much to do yourself? I'd love to help. Contact me and we can work though it together!
