Thank you all for the lovely comments. It was a fabulous day and Melissa made it fun and relaxing. I have taken such a lot of valuable information and top tips from the session and would definitely recommend it! Huge thanks to Melissa and Sarah who put such a huge amount of work into helping us women feel positive about ourselves ❤️
What a beautiful client to style! I saw how the littlest changes really made her outfit look better--esp in her own rose/brown sheer dress. And your modern casual rail outfits were perfect and really elevated her style to today's modern look. It's hard for some of us to see how dated our clothes are until we see how you re-style the savable ones and show us options that make us realize some are too outdated to save. I'm the same age as Sharon and have some of the same pieces--this video helped me soo much! You really are a master at your craft, Melissa & team!! I hope you can do more of these video sessions in clients' homes in the future!!
Sharon looks wonderful in the blues and pinks, very flattering for her colouring. I would love a part 2 where you show what new outfits she decided to keep and the end result of her wardrobe cull. I am also 61, so it’s great to see a styling client the same age as myself.
She looks so much better in the solids rather than in the prints. She is stunning in that blue dress and in the blue jumpsuit! What a beautiful, classic look she has. Very helpful video ☺️
Oh dear. The upvotes for this video aren't 10% of the views. We're definitely forgetting to smash that 'like' button in appreciation of all this hard work! It truly does HELP the CHANNEL, folks!!! 😊
THANK YOU for saying that. You are SO RIGHT. All I’m asking that people press the thumbs up, share, subscribe and it really does help us. Thank you 🙏 for recognising this x
Probably your best video yet Melissa. So nice of Sharon to let us in a see "a real womans wardrobe". She looks ah-ma-zing. I'm the same age but look a lot older than her. My wardrobe looks a lot like Sharons, too many patterened clothes and you've inspired me to get rid of a lot of them after watching this. I'm about to move house and country before the summer so am really trying to have a clear out before the move as I will be downsizing to a smaller house, so this video was the incentive I needed to let to of stuff I've hung on to for years and focus on more stylish modern pieces as I have a fresh start. I have been through a lot these past 10 years with a divorce and the death of my daughter 3 years ago and I really need to find myself again and move forward. Thanks for everything you do, you really do help more people than you will ever know.
Mesmerized ! Not too long at all… I would’ve watched a part two also! My most interesting take away it’s so much easier to see what needs to be culled, when you see the comparison between clothing you’ve selected for Sharon. Vs her closet. Your selections are more figure flattering, youthful and vibrant. The blazer comparison really hit home… bravo Melissa and Sharon as well.
Melissa, you have such a beautiful manner and so supportive with some lovely ideas. You can see Sharon’s confidence grow each outfit. I do love all your suggestions especially the colours and lack of prints. I must say I do prefer full length trousers. Terrific service and video. Thank you 🤗🇳🇿
YES! YES! YES! zone of my favorites. I recently found and have been diving into the past years, watching and understanding. Really helpful to be in someone’s closet and see what they have, and what you are able to do. This is so relatable as we watch, and think of our own wardrobe. Such a sweet lady, lovely! Thanks to y’all for this insightful video, much appreciated.
Thank you for another great video, it’s so nice to see how the change of shoes and Blazers and accessories can elevate the same outfit or make it more casual. Thank you to Sharon for letting us all see the process, she looked lovely in all the outfits and is rocking it at 61, she looks amazing. It looked like you all had a really fun day, please, please keep them coming 🥰
I enjoyed this so much and thought your suggestions were spot on! I will say the floral wedding guest dress gave her a sparkle in her eye, and I really hope she treats herself to it! I am a practical shopper but always buy the wow items especially for events where a lot of photos will be taken. Bravo to the client for opening up herself for us to watch the process.
Sharon's gorgeous.. she looks 50 not 60! I love her personal sense of style too..I'm 40 and her figure is way more in shape than mine. Melissa you are so kind in how you explain things n take the clients likes and dislikes into consideration.. you are a magician in how you tweak outfits to look so we'll styled! Thank you this video was really great ❤
❤loved this video but we need a Part 2!!! Id love to see how Sharon's wardrobe looks now it has been decluttered and hopefully has a few new additions namely the gorgeous mid blue dress (Sensational Sharon ❤) the John Lewis navy blue dress, the blue jumpsuit and the pink top. I think it would incentivise viewers further to see the organised closet and the size of clothing bags being donated to charity 😊 Well done Melissa, Sarah and Sharon. Make this a regular series please ❤
It was over 5 hours worth of filming and people simply wouldn’t have watched all of that so we had to make a judgement call as to what bits showed the best learning. I can tell you there was a very large charity pile and all you missed was her saying ‘yes, let’s get rid of that’ (several times over)!!!!
Sharon was so generous to let her session be filmed. I always learn so much and I am guilty of so many of the same things! Learning to like myself in block colors has been hard but enjoyable, it’s so much easier to get dressed and feel put together. After watching this I have ordered some light colored shoes, I have too many black shoes, and love the way the light colored shoe lengthens any look!
I like how MM usually chooses and recommends colors softer and lighter than black. Since I've started following her advice, I pair creams and whites together and the result it is more modern and flattering
Would love to see a follow up, and more of this type of video - I would have watched for longer!! The navy blazer, jumpsuits and blue drop-waisted dress looked so good! Thanks for sharing xx
Big thanks to Sharon ! Looking fabulous. Loved watching the process. I appreciate your practical,honest and kind approach to your clients. Lots of food for thought.
I always learn so much from watching your videos!! I am in the process of going through my clothing now (out with winter in with spring/summer in the Boston, MA USA area) and I will be looking over my pieces with new criteria. I have waaay too many clothes that I don't wear. Even if they fit well and are flattering, I am always missing the piece to make it an outfit. Thanks to Sharon for being so open and allowing us into her closet and thanks you, Melissa, for helping us all feel better about our wardrobe and how we can feel in it and make it work for so many occasions!!
I've only found your channel a few days ago and have learned more in these few days than I have in 10 years of trying to learn about style. However, I am now extremely distracted when I'm out and about, scrolling social media or even watching TV because I'm analyzing what everyone should be wearing! 😂 I feel like I can even tell what complete strangers are insecure about based on how they are trying to cover themselves up rather than create an hourglass! I'm CERTAINLY no expert, so I can't even imagine how you feel. It's a complete change, and I refer back to the episodes featuring my body shape as I'm decluttering my wardrobe. All of that blabbering to say, your work is truly life changing. I'm excited to dress myself now. Thanks from South Carolina, USA!!! ❤
I really enjoyed this! The lady's work wardrobe was similar to mine before I started watching your channel, lots of black trousers and patterned/coloured tops. They have gradually been culled and I now have lots of neutrals (so much easier to get ready each day) and only a small amount of stripes/polka dots as far as pattern goes. I'm 57 and I feel so much more current for work now and I work with much younger staff so it is confidence boosting.
YOU ARE REMARKABLE!! I am in the US and I am addicted to your channel. I'm currently 61 years old myself and I've learned SO MUCH since I have started following you. Thank-You!!🙂😊
I think the biggest 'secret' in clearing out the wardrobe, is to actually try everything on....if you try it on and really look at yourself, it makes you decide if you still like it or not. Lovely and interesting session again Melissa, I learn more from your shows every time ❤❤
Agreed. Also, as pretty as an organized closet looks, I sometimes stumble across great pairings when I hang things in a different order. By color for a couple of months, then sort by style the next season, then by item (all jackets together, all skirts, etc.).
🎉I’ve been saving this video for my birthday today. Fabulously informative, practical and genuine. H&M are knocking it out of the park this season. Sharon was relaxed and generous opening up her wardrobe to us, a reflection of your professional skills. Great to see your business and following grow.
I’m definitely guilty of hanging on to outdated items, which leaves my wardrobe CRAMMED with clothes and leaves me with “NOTHING” to wear! Those items I haven’t had my wear out of/feel I’ve got value for my money from are particularly hard to let go of because of the guilt I attach to them. Think it’s about time to leave my mistakes behind and move forward following Melissa’s guidelines 🥰!
We have to give the session for free when we film so i'm afraid we can't give too many of these away but there are more to watch as part of our styling courses. x
Being a student from your Stylist as a Career course you provide such great lessons in communication with a client. What a lovely beautiful client, please send our thanks for allowing us to be part of her process ❤
Thank you 🙏 As you will have learnt, communication is just as important as the styling part in making a connection with your client which then puts them at ease so they allow you to help them. X
OMG! I have been watching this channel for a couple of years now. I love everything Melissa does. She and her team are beyond talented. I have been too shy to comment until today. But after seeing Sharon's transformation, I feel compelled to post my first comment. She is gorgeous! And all of the outfits are beautiful on her. I know it can be difficult to choose so here are my favourites: The pink floral dress is a stunner for the wedding! She looks amazing! (The thing about a beautiful dress is that sometimes it creates more occasions to be worn. Kinda like "if you build it, they will come!") The blue is also gorgeous. The colour is so good on her. I would get both! If that's too many dresses, then she should get the blue jumpsuit. She will definitely get wear out of that. The jackets were all great on her. I especially liked the beige blazer and the dark with gold buttons. The casual jackets with drawstring waists were also great for casual days. These jackets make her look so much younger and more stylish. Such a transformation! The shoes, bags and accessories also do miracles to modernise her look. Some great learnings for us all in here! Thanks for creating these videos and sharing your pearls of wisdom.
Thank you for commenting - you never have to feel too shy to do so. I still answer all of my own comments as I love staying close to my audience so I really appreciate the comments. Thank you! X
So grateful to Sharon for sharing with us her wardrobe 🙏🏻 she looked beautiful in all the outfits that you put her in and thank you and Sarah and the team for all your effort and your attempt to make this as real as possible , which you definitely achieved 🥰 great video 🙌
Hey Melissa, I could've watched this all day long, really really enjoyed it. How generous of Sharon to let the camera in. She looked amazing. I keep saying it but gosh you guys are so talented. I've watched you for a long time now but I learn something new every video xx
Thank you, Melissa, Sharon and Sarah. This was such an enjoyable video. The use of bright colours on Sharon worked so well, really suited her colouring, and shows how you can elevate your styling. The blue and floral pink dresses were fabulous. It would be nice to own both but agree with Sharon that there may be limited opportunities to wear the floral dress (although Sharon could use it to make some opportunities perhaps - Ascot or a race day, dinner on holiday in South of France, Wimbledon, cocktails and lunch with girlfriends in a city restaurant, birthday dinners etc). A hard but lovely dilemma to have. I was reminded of Melissa’s tips when watching a 1940s based film, they knew how to wear tailored dresses and look great (whatever their shape and size) - v necks, shoulder detail, shoulder pads, nipped in waists, beautiful draped fabrics. I’m off to the clothes bank and charity shops today following your inspiration 😂
This was amazing! Sharon looked stunning in all your curated pieces. If I won the lottery I would definitely get this done as I have lost all my style and confidence since covid… Thank you sharing this xx
I really enjoyed watching this! It has inspired me to go through my own wardrobe and do some culling, as we move from Autumn into Winter. Am definitely going to find a lovely cream boot to refresh my outfits and will step away from the black boots!
Another fantastic video that shows your audience how a stylist can really help to pull outfits together that align with personal preference and body type. Your approach is very professional, kind, and respectful of the customer. Would love to see more content for petite audiences who struggle with wanting to look sophisticated, fashionable, and at times edgy while avoiding clothing that potentially does not fit a small frame. I look forward to seeing your upcoming content. Thanks for all the effort that you put into your content!
Great video , I’m same age and similar figure. I have been following you for a while Melissa and this January really in earnest trying your declutterring process . Have donated ,gifted ,even sold some designer pieces just not my life anymore. It’s hard to accept your body despite lots of exercise ,healthy eating just changes as you get older but you show how you can tweak things to still look great and not dated. Just moving this lady from prints to monochrome in her true colours amazing transformation . This video has spurred me on to be even more focused and continue to keep declutterring . Thank you
Absolutely loved this video. Please please do more, it's so nice to see that we can restyle what we have already as well as some new additions. We'll done MM!
Absolutely loved this wardrobe restyle Melissa and you certainly worked your magic on Sharon. She’s a gorgeous lady anyway but wow she was even more so at the end. Thank you.
This is the second time I have watched this video. I enjoyed it as much as the first time. I have done a cull of my wardrobe now following Melissa’s advice. Thank you so much for all your ideas and videos. 🌷🌷
As the other lady said, we’re all different and as long as you’re happy with yourself then there’s no changes to be made but equally if you’re not and you’re now inspired then great!
This is such an interesting video, i am surprised there are no more likes! I would have pressed love if i could. It's interesting to see someone's wardrobe and learn why certain items do or don't work and how you can match items. Where someone sometimes goes for a certain style or match items out of habit, it can look so much nicer paired differently or with slight changes such as shoulderpads or a belt, different fabrics and cuts. The client looked absolutely stunning in the items shown! And it's nice to see that also lifestyle has been taken into account. Not just oh this looks pretty but also will she wear it often? In the end everything has its price and you need to get the wear out of everything too :) Thank you very much for this educational video and i hope more will follow.
Sharon has great taste and a lovely figure. You took what she was already working with and elevated it. I like how you also showed her some of the items that she stayed away from would actually really work for her. That cerulean blue was just perfection on her and the floral dress dress in the pinks was stunning on her, I hope she bought that one because it was gorgeous. What a fun client!!
I had been looking forward to this video all last week and it did not disappoint. Thank you so much for asking your client if you could video tape her experience with you so all of us could see how its done and benefit from your expertise! She looks amazing for 61 and I agree with what another person said - she looks more pulled together in solids rather than prints. I picked up so many tips and tricks! Both of you did a great job! THANK YOU!
Melissa : I know that it’s your work but your are a magician 😊 from the outside, compared with your proposals, one can see the « problems » of this wardrobe. Too much black (and it’s not her color) and too much prints / patterns. Your choices were fantastic and she looks stunning 🤩 Excellent video 😊
So nice to see the whole process! You do an amazing job and your client is beautiful! She looks like she could be your sister 😊 Very generous of her to let you film in her house.
What a brilliant example of working with your client👏 It was so fabulous to see the jackets on as opposed to the jackets...loved the bomber jacket on her. Gr8 to see shoe examples & I'm not surprised you are busy as you really offer a wonderful service. Really enjoyed the video, thank you
Absolutely brilliant video. My number 1 takeaway from this video is to forget about the patterns & incorporate more neutral block colours. Also, the style of footwear makes such a difference. A big thumbs-up 👍 I’ve learned SO much. Sharon is a beautiful lady & her “look” is now very youthful. 😊
Sharon you are a stunning lady!! What a wonderful wardrobe, you looked so beautiful 😍 that blue jumpsuit was gorgeous, the colour was so flattering!! ❤
That was such a great video Melissa, I was so surprised she didn’t like the linen trench coat, I thought it looked fab , just goes to show ! As for her short “corporate” jacket I agree it looked dated , it reminded me of Teresa May’s style when she was PM
As usual, so many helpful tips xx I can’t get over how very simple adaptations can completely change the look of an outfit and enhance the figure of the wearer. Another great video.
Part 2 would just consist of Sharon saying ‘yes get rid of that’ and then showing piles of clothes so I don’t think it would add that much value. There’s 28 body shape masterclasses on here so hopefully there’s plenty more for you to watch x
I really super enjoyed this video I like how you made the pieces that didn't quite fit fit and I love how you just really organized this lady's closet to make it be more modern and it was just a really fun great video to get some tips about you know how to style things a little bit better and all together one of my favorite videos that you've done so far
Thank you Sharon for inviting us in and sharing your session! What fun! I felt like I was sitting right there in a comfy chair with a glass of wine hanging out with everybody. ❤ Thank you Melissa for continually sharing such great information. I am always learning from you! You’ve inspired me to make some positive changes in how I view my shape. Oh, and today, I bought some neutral shoes! I’ve always worn dark or black shoes, but it’s Spring and these neutral shoes really brightened up my outfit and my spirits. ❤ Cheers!
What a helpful video this was Melissa. It really helps to understand your process as I go through my own wardrobe and I realize I buy a lot of the same thing and have some real gaps in my basics. Your client is lovely.
Brilliant video, many thanks to Sharon for sharing the experience. Re the work clothes versus home life, I don't wear a uniform but I'm in people's houses and animal/ smoking/ hygiene aroma means there is no way I'll wear my home or social clothes for work, so I migrate things that I am bored with, and once worn for work they can never migrate back. But I think there will be a mighty cull happening now. Thanks Melissa.
I relate to her thinking regarding mixing casual with smart…..I can never seem to feel comfortable doing that also. I think it’s due to our being raised having “play clothes”, “ school clothes” and “ church clothes”. We were not cultured to mix things….probably because there was no money so we had limited choices in each group.
Omgoodness! I just found your channel today, and I have ALREADY learned so much! Thank you Sharon for being the beautiful model in this video. My jaw dropped when Sharon had that pink floral dress on. If it were my daughter’s wedding I would DEFINITELY have purchased that one, although I do understand if Sharon doesn’t have times where she could wear it more, it is ( I’m sure) not an inexpensive dress. Everything that you had Sharon it, looked wonderful. Is it possible to do a part 2 to this video? You have found yourself a new subscriber….i LOVED this video! Thank you for all of the tips.😊🇨🇦
This content was very good at the lovely ladies house who looks great only item I don't think goes is the cream bag with the wide body cross I think there too wide could just be me. Great content Melissa keep it up
Really great and informative. Will be looking again at my wardrobe with new eyes. Just a few new pieces can really unlock unworn sections of your clothes, along with the styling tips 😊
Thank you for this video Melissa - brilliant! I hope Sharon takes on your advice - when I saw her in the bomber jacket I actually said "wow" out loud. She looked 10 years younger than her already youthful look. I watch all your videos but this one has inspired me the most. The word "dated" hit home for me - so easy to see with the way you compared before and after looks. Thank you both for sharing :)
I've been watching your channel for maybe a year now, and at first I didn't think your system would work for me. I like bold colors, and lots of them. I certainly am not shy of patterns, either. However, I have slowly narrowed my color schemed to focus on 3 main colors that coordinate and it is working even for me! Thanks for all your great videos! Also, Sharon was great. I enjoyed seeing how well you work with clients.
This was so much fun to watch and learn. I love how British women dress and their beautiful style. All her new dresses and blue jumpsuit look gorgeous on her. She is a pretty lady anyways but you made her look 10 years(at least) younger and her blue eyes and smile popped. Great job! Really enjoy your channel.
She starts off with a gorgeous figure! I love her in the trench coat and in the wider pants vs pegged leg. So flattering and modern! Thanks for sharing all this💙
Your video of Sharon's recreation of her wardrobe was very helpful. I am now going through my clothing and see how I can upscale my clothes. Thank you very much!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Sharon looked great and was really brave to let us into her house. She looked great in all the outfits you suggested. Absolutely ace Melissa. 🌷🌷
So much more instructive than just filming in your studio or the shops. The dark blue John Lewis dress would be perfect for a wedding and many other occasions.
Very fun to watch…she was lovely and you made some brilliant points that we can all learn from! Especially that sleeveless top at the end. It was nice looking - but for all the reasons you stated - it wasn’t ideal. Well done and keep them coming please!
How wonderful this video was for the way you approached everything. I can now look at my closet and cull in a thoughtful way. I agree with Sharon, we hold on to items that become sentimental. I am 65 and my lifestyle has changed. Just to see how one can elevate a look even with the simplest of jewellery or belt etc. Melissa I have been watching for a very long time now and have adapted your tips, enough to be complemented by sales assistant in dept. store. 😊
Really helpful vid Melissa. Gave me the inspiration to get in and whittle down even more of my already whittled down wardrobe sine I’ve become an MM fan!!!
Wow this was wonderful, and Sharon was amazing looked great in so many of the outfits but ii especially liked the blue dress. I too have "work " clothes generally items that have been in my wardrobe but arent nessarily what id choose to buy now, i work as a library assistant and have found clothes get spoiled i.e scagged on books cd boxes etc not sure how i could combine my work and everyday life more seamlessly, though often dont feel comfortable going shopping / having coffee with friends straight afrer work perhaps you could help in one of your future videos please ?
The H&M blazer is a winner. I have that exact blazer ( I’m 153cm tall). It is amazing over all the others I tried on from many stores. Perfect with everything.
Thank you all for the lovely comments. It was a fabulous day and Melissa made it fun and relaxing. I have taken such a lot of valuable information and top tips from the session and would definitely recommend it! Huge thanks to Melissa and Sarah who put such a huge amount of work into helping us women feel positive about ourselves ❤️
Ahhhh, thanks Sharon, you were wonderful! 😘

Sharon looks wonderful in the blues and pinks, very flattering for her colouring. I would love a part 2 where you show what new outfits she decided to keep and the end result of her wardrobe cull. I am also 61, so it’s great to see a styling client the same age as myself.
I was thinking exactly the same.
She looks so much better in the solids rather than in the prints. She is stunning in that blue dress and in the blue jumpsuit! What a beautiful, classic look she has. Very helpful video ☺️
Oh thank you!
I think as we get older we rush to florals but need to go with small less busy florals. solids are timeless imho
Oh dear. The upvotes for this video aren't 10% of the views. We're definitely forgetting to smash that 'like' button in appreciation of all this hard work! It truly does HELP the CHANNEL, folks!!! 😊
THANK YOU for saying that. You are SO RIGHT. All I’m asking that people press the thumbs up, share, subscribe and it really does help us. Thank you 🙏 for recognising this x
@@mmpersonalstyling Some people watch a video several times but of course can only vote once. How about repositioning the Thanks button?
You are absolutely right!
I think quite a few people watch UA-cam videos on their TVs which means they can’t press the like button on videos (even if they wanted to!) 🫤

Isn't she just! Such a lovely lady too - we had lots of fun together!
I could watch these all day!!!such a fab video and so much to take away from it 😊 thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

This is one of the best shows! Excellent and pertinent information that helps me and my wardrobe. Great job by you and your team.

Wow the very first dress looked completely different as soon as Melissa worked her magic! 😮
Sharon's gorgeous.. she looks 50 not 60! I love her personal sense of style too..I'm 40 and her figure is way more in shape than mine.
Melissa you are so kind in how you explain things n take the clients likes and dislikes into consideration.. you are a magician in how you tweak outfits to look so we'll styled!
Thank you this video was really great ❤
Thank you, that’s really generous of you to say so and I really appreciate it x
❤loved this video but we need a Part 2!!! Id love to see how Sharon's wardrobe looks now it has been decluttered and hopefully has a few new additions namely the gorgeous mid blue dress (Sensational Sharon ❤) the John Lewis navy blue dress, the blue jumpsuit and the pink top.

I like how MM usually chooses and recommends colors softer and lighter than black.
Since I've started following her advice, I pair creams and whites together and the result it is more modern and flattering
That's great to hear. Ps. You're talking to Melissa, I always answer all of my own comments!!
Same, I actually just bought a pair of cream sling backs. I’ve only ever bought black shoes and now I see how they make some outfits look heavy.
Would love to see a follow up, and more of this type of video - I would have watched for longer!! The navy blazer, jumpsuits and blue drop-waisted dress looked so good! Thanks for sharing xx
Big thanks to Sharon ! Looking fabulous. Loved watching the process. I appreciate your practical,honest and kind approach to your clients. Lots of food for thought.
Thank you so much!
Love these in person “in the closet” style videos!
I would watch an entire series of videos like this!
That’s nice, thank you
I just want to say how much I appreciate it that you INCLUDE the prices of your services on your website Melissa 🙌🏻
I always learn so much from watching your videos!! I am in the process of going through my clothing now (out with winter in with spring/summer in the Boston, MA USA area) and I will be looking over my pieces with new criteria.

I'm CERTAINLY no expert, so I can't even imagine how you feel.
It's a complete change, and I refer back to the episodes featuring my body shape as I'm decluttering my wardrobe.
All of that blabbering to say, your work is truly life changing. I'm excited to dress myself now.
Thanks from South Carolina, USA!!! ❤
Thank you so much for those generous comments. I’m pleased you found us!!! Xx 😘
I really enjoyed this! The lady's work wardrobe was similar to mine before I started watching your channel, lots of black trousers and patterned/coloured tops. They have gradually been culled and I now have lots of neutrals (so much easier to get ready each day) and only a small amount of stripes/polka dots as far as pattern goes. I'm 57 and I feel so much more current for work now and I work with much younger staff so it is confidence boosting.
Glad to hear it x
BEST VIDEO EVER! Sharon is such a beautiful woman. I know this was a ton of work to film, but I’d love more of this kind. Hugs
Glad you enjoyed it!
YOU ARE REMARKABLE!! I am in the US and I am addicted to your channel. I'm currently 61 years old myself and I've learned SO MUCH since I have started following you. Thank-You!!🙂😊
Wow, thank you! 🙏
I think the biggest 'secret' in clearing out the wardrobe, is to actually try everything on....if you try it on and really look at yourself, it makes you decide if you still like it or not. Lovely and interesting session again Melissa, I learn more from your shows every time ❤❤
Agreed. Also, as pretty as an organized closet looks, I sometimes stumble across great pairings when I hang things in a different order. By color for a couple of months, then sort by style the next season, then by item (all jackets together, all skirts, etc.).
🎉I’ve been saving this video for my birthday today. Fabulously informative, practical and genuine.
H&M are knocking it out of the park this season.
Sharon was relaxed and generous opening up her wardrobe to us, a reflection of your professional skills.
Great to see your business and following grow.
Happy birthday!! I’m honoured that you’d spend your birthday listening to me!!! Hope you had a great day and thank you for following us x
I’m definitely guilty of hanging on to outdated items, which leaves my wardrobe CRAMMED with clothes and leaves me with “NOTHING” to wear! Those items I haven’t had my wear out of/feel I’ve got value for my money from are particularly hard to let go of because of the guilt I attach to them. Think it’s about time to leave my mistakes behind and move forward following Melissa’s guidelines 🥰!
Go on, you can do it!!! X
This was so much fun to watch. I hope more of your clients will allow similar insight into your sessions.
We have to give the session for free when we film so i'm afraid we can't give too many of these away but there are more to watch as part of our styling courses. x
Probably the best styling video I have seen.
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe that but you know what? You’ve made me day saying it anyway!!! Thank you xx 😘
She looks amazing at that age and the new outfits really freshened her!
Thank you 🙏
Being a student from your Stylist as a Career course you provide such great lessons in communication with a client. What a lovely beautiful client, please send our thanks for allowing us to be part of her process ❤
Thank you 🙏 As you will have learnt, communication is just as important as the styling part in making a connection with your client which then puts them at ease so they allow you to help them. X
OMG! I have been watching this channel for a couple of years now. I love everything Melissa does. She and her team are beyond talented. I have been too shy to comment until today. But after seeing Sharon's transformation, I feel compelled to post my first comment. She is gorgeous! And all of the outfits are beautiful on her. I know it can be difficult to choose so here are my favourites: The pink floral dress is a stunner for the wedding! She looks amazing! (The thing about a beautiful dress is that sometimes it creates more occasions to be worn. Kinda like "if you build it, they will come!") The blue is also gorgeous. The colour is so good on her. I would get both! If that's too many dresses, then she should get the blue jumpsuit. She will definitely get wear out of that. The jackets were all great on her. I especially liked the beige blazer and the dark with gold buttons. The casual jackets with drawstring waists were also great for casual days. These jackets make her look so much younger and more stylish. Such a transformation! The shoes, bags and accessories also do miracles to modernise her look. Some great learnings for us all in here! Thanks for creating these videos and sharing your pearls of wisdom.
Thank you for commenting - you never have to feel too shy to do so. I still answer all of my own comments as I love staying close to my audience so I really appreciate the comments. Thank you! X
So grateful to Sharon for sharing with us her wardrobe 🙏🏻 she looked beautiful in all the outfits that you put her in and thank you and Sarah and the team for all your effort and your attempt to make this as real as possible , which you definitely achieved 🥰 great video 🙌
Hey Melissa, I could've watched this all day long, really really enjoyed it. How generous of Sharon to let the camera in. She looked amazing. I keep saying it but gosh you guys are so talented. I've watched you for a long time now but I learn something new every video xx
Thank you 🙏 for sticking with us so long, we very much appreciate it x
Thank you, Melissa, Sharon and Sarah. This was such an enjoyable video. The use of bright colours on Sharon worked so well, really suited her colouring, and shows how you can elevate your styling. The blue and floral pink dresses were fabulous. It would be nice to own both but agree with Sharon that there may be limited opportunities to wear the floral dress (although Sharon could use it to make some opportunities perhaps - Ascot or a race day, dinner on holiday in South of France, Wimbledon, cocktails and lunch with girlfriends in a city restaurant, birthday dinners etc). A hard but lovely dilemma to have. I was reminded of Melissa’s tips when watching a 1940s based film, they knew how to wear tailored dresses and look great (whatever their shape and size) - v necks, shoulder detail, shoulder pads, nipped in waists, beautiful draped fabrics. I’m off to the clothes bank and charity shops today following your inspiration 😂
This video was so helpful! Thank you, Sharon, for inviting us into your home and wardrobe. I am super inspired to go through my closet and update it.
What a lovely, beautiful lady. She is never 61!!!
Thanks for this great video, Melissa!!! So interesting to see your work at a clients house.
😘
You are so welcome!
This was amazing! Sharon looked stunning in all your curated pieces.
If I won the lottery I would definitely get this done as I have lost all my style and confidence since covid…
Thank you sharing this xx
Thank you so much! 😊
I really enjoyed watching this! It has inspired me to go through my own wardrobe and do some culling, as we move from Autumn into Winter. Am definitely going to find a lovely cream boot to refresh my outfits and will step away from the black boots!
Great to hear 😊
This was a brilliant video would love to see more of these x
There’s more of these as part of our styling courses online x
Another fantastic video that shows your audience how a stylist can really help to pull outfits together that align with personal preference and body type. Your approach is very professional, kind, and respectful of the customer. Would love to see more content for petite audiences who struggle with wanting to look sophisticated, fashionable, and at times edgy while avoiding clothing that potentially does not fit a small frame. I look forward to seeing your upcoming content. Thanks for all the effort that you put into your content!
I’ve done lots of videos using petite clients, here’s just one to get you started! ua-cam.com/video/vrIjyfj9NVg/v-deo.htmlsi=MPIzm6KtE91AJg4K
Great video , I’m same age and similar figure. I have been following you for a while Melissa and this January really in earnest trying your declutterring process . Have donated ,gifted ,even sold some designer pieces just not my life anymore. It’s hard to accept your body despite lots of exercise ,healthy eating just changes as you get older but you show how you can tweak things to still look great and not dated. Just moving this lady from prints to monochrome in her true colours amazing transformation . This video has spurred me on to be even more focused and continue to keep declutterring . Thank you
Keep on going, sounds like you’ve made a great start already, well done x
Absolutely loved this video. Please please do more, it's so nice to see that we can restyle what we have already as well as some new additions. We'll done MM!
Thank you! Will do!
Identified so much with Sharon thank you to her for letting us see this transformation ❤❤
Great choice of outfits and lots of practical, helpful advice from Melissa. Sharon looked amazing!
Absolutely loved this wardrobe restyle Melissa and you certainly worked your magic on Sharon. She’s a gorgeous lady anyway but wow she was even more so at the end. Thank you.
Oh thank you!
This is the second time I have watched this video. I enjoyed it as much as the first time. I have done a cull of my wardrobe now following Melissa’s advice. Thank you so much for all your ideas and videos. 🌷🌷
You can do it! Pleased you enjoyed x
Those black blocky shoes should definitely be binned in favour of the slender flats. Makes an amazing difference x
I’m 61 and Sharon’s lovely figure makes me realise I need to look after myself better ❤
We're all different and comparison is the thief of joy. She's beautiful but I'm sure you are too!
As the other lady said, we’re all different and as long as you’re happy with yourself then there’s no changes to be made but equally if you’re not and you’re now inspired then great!
This is such an interesting video, i am surprised there are no more likes! I would have pressed love if i could. It's interesting to see someone's wardrobe and learn why certain items do or don't work and how you can match items. Where someone sometimes goes for a certain style or match items out of habit, it can look so much nicer paired differently or with slight changes such as shoulderpads or a belt, different fabrics and cuts. The client looked absolutely stunning in the items shown! And it's nice to see that also lifestyle has been taken into account. Not just oh this looks pretty but also will she wear it often? In the end everything has its price and you need to get the wear out of everything too :) Thank you very much for this educational video and i hope more will follow.
Thank you for your lovely comments! x
Sharon has great taste and a lovely figure. You took what she was already working with and elevated it. I like how you also showed her some of the items that she stayed away from would actually really work for her. That cerulean blue was just perfection on her and the floral dress dress in the pinks was stunning on her, I hope she bought that one because it was gorgeous. What a fun client!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the fall and blue dresses. Especially the floral. However i completely understand wanting to only have versatile pieces.
I had been looking forward to this video all last week and it did not disappoint. Thank you so much for asking your client if you could video tape her experience with you so all of us could see how its done and benefit from your expertise! She looks amazing for 61 and I agree with what another person said - she looks more pulled together in solids rather than prints. I picked up so many tips and tricks! Both of you did a great job! THANK YOU!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching x
Melissa : I know that it’s your work but your are a magician 😊 from the outside, compared with your proposals, one can see the « problems » of this wardrobe. Too much black (and it’s not her color) and too much prints / patterns.
Your choices were fantastic and she looks stunning 🤩 Excellent video 😊
Thank you so much, really appreciate your kindness....
So nice to see the whole process! You do an amazing job and your client is beautiful! She looks like she could be your sister 😊 Very generous of her to let you film in her house.
Thank you so much!!
What a brilliant example of working with your client👏
It was so fabulous to see the jackets on as opposed to the jackets...loved the bomber jacket on her. Gr8 to see shoe examples & I'm not surprised you are busy as you really offer a wonderful service. Really enjoyed the video, thank you
Thank you so much xx 😘
Absolutely brilliant video. My number 1 takeaway from this video is to forget about the patterns & incorporate more neutral block colours. Also, the style of footwear makes such a difference. A big thumbs-up 👍 I’ve learned SO much. Sharon is a beautiful lady & her “look” is now very youthful. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
So interesting. I see how all the patterns make for a wardrobe with little mix and match options, and how the plain lights make such a difference.
What an amazingly perfect figure she has! The blue jumpsuit is my favorite 🤩
Sharon you are a stunning lady!! What a wonderful wardrobe, you looked so beautiful 😍 that blue jumpsuit was gorgeous, the colour was so flattering!! ❤
Thank you so much!
Sharon is stunning! You are so right that her proportions are perfect. Great session as always. Thanks to you, Sharon, and the team.
That was such a great video Melissa, I was so surprised she didn’t like the linen trench coat, I thought it looked fab , just goes to show !
As for her short “corporate” jacket I agree it looked dated , it reminded me of Teresa May’s style when she was PM
😂😂😂😂 Theresa May!!!
As usual, so many helpful tips xx I can’t get over how very simple adaptations can completely change the look of an outfit and enhance the figure of the wearer. Another great video.
Wish there was a Part 2 - this was so useful!
Part 2 would just consist of Sharon saying ‘yes get rid of that’ and then showing piles of clothes so I don’t think it would add that much value. There’s 28 body shape masterclasses on here so hopefully there’s plenty more for you to watch x
I loved this video! As I do all your videos. Always learn something!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The blue dress and blue jumpsuit looks great ❤
Thank you!!
I really super enjoyed this video I like how you made the pieces that didn't quite fit fit and I love how you just really organized this lady's closet to make it be more modern and it was just a really fun great video to get some tips about you know how to style things a little bit better and all together one of my favorite videos that you've done so far
Oh wow, thank you 🙏
Thank you Sharon for inviting us in and sharing your session! What fun! I felt like I was sitting right there in a comfy chair with a glass of wine hanging out with everybody. ❤ Thank you Melissa for continually sharing such great information. I am always learning from you! You’ve inspired me to make some positive changes in how I view my shape. Oh, and today, I bought some neutral shoes! I’ve always worn dark or black shoes, but it’s Spring and these neutral shoes really brightened up my outfit and my spirits. ❤ Cheers!
That’s great to hear x
What a helpful video this was Melissa. It really helps to understand your process as I go through my own wardrobe and I realize I buy a lot of the same thing and have some real gaps in my basics. Your client is lovely.
Thank you. Yes she was lovely x
Brilliant video, many thanks to Sharon for sharing the experience. Re the work clothes versus home life, I don't wear a uniform but I'm in people's houses and animal/ smoking/ hygiene aroma means there is no way I'll wear my home or social clothes for work, so I migrate things that I am bored with, and once worn for work they can never migrate back. But I think there will be a mighty cull happening now. Thanks Melissa.
I relate to her thinking regarding mixing casual with smart…..I can never seem to feel comfortable doing that also. I think it’s due to our being raised having “play clothes”, “ school clothes” and “ church clothes”. We were not cultured to mix things….probably because there was no money so we had limited choices in each group.
Omgoodness! I just found your channel today, and I have ALREADY learned so much! Thank you Sharon for being the beautiful model in this video. My jaw dropped when Sharon had that pink floral dress on. If it were my daughter’s wedding I would DEFINITELY have purchased that one, although I do understand if Sharon doesn’t have times where she could wear it more, it is ( I’m sure) not an inexpensive dress. Everything that you had Sharon it, looked wonderful. Is it possible to do a part 2 to this video? You have found yourself a new subscriber….i LOVED this video! Thank you for all of the tips.😊🇨🇦
Hello and welcome! Thanks for watching x
That was very interesting! I always take something home from your videos. Thanks a lot!❤
So nice of you, thank you x
So enjoyed this video! You did brilliantly Melissa and Sharon was a star!
Glad you enjoyed it
This content was very good at the lovely ladies house who looks great only item I don't think goes is the cream bag with the wide body cross I think there too wide could just be me. Great content Melissa keep it up
Really great and informative. Will be looking again at my wardrobe with new eyes. Just a few new pieces can really unlock unworn sections of your clothes, along with the styling tips 😊
Exactly right x
Thank you for this video Melissa - brilliant! I hope Sharon takes on your advice - when I saw her in the bomber jacket I actually said "wow" out loud. She looked 10 years younger than her already youthful look. I watch all your videos but this one has inspired me the most. The word "dated" hit home for me - so easy to see with the way you compared before and after looks. Thank you both for sharing :)
Thank you for continuing to follow us! Ps. I loved the bomber on her too!
I've been watching your channel for maybe a year now, and at first I didn't think your system would work for me. I like bold colors, and lots of them. I certainly am not shy of patterns, either. However, I have slowly narrowed my color schemed to focus on 3 main colors that coordinate and it is working even for me! Thanks for all your great videos!
Also, Sharon was great. I enjoyed seeing how well you work with clients.
Great to hear! X
This was so much fun to watch and learn. I love how British women dress and their beautiful style. All her new dresses and blue jumpsuit look gorgeous on her. She is a pretty lady anyways but you made her look 10 years(at least) younger and her blue eyes and smile popped. Great job! Really enjoy your channel.
Thank you for your lovely comments x
She starts off with a gorgeous figure! I love her in the trench coat and in the wider pants vs pegged leg. So flattering and modern! Thanks for sharing all this💙
Your video of Sharon's recreation of her wardrobe was very helpful. I am now going through my clothing and see how I can upscale my clothes. Thank you very much!
You are so welcome!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Sharon looked great and was really brave to let us into her house. She looked great in all the outfits you suggested. Absolutely ace Melissa. 🌷🌷
Thank you so much! 😊
I have worked with Ros via several zoom sessions and it’s been immensely helpful. I really enjoy this type of video. Thank you.
That’s amazing to here, she’s great isn’t she x
So much more instructive than just filming in your studio or the shops. The dark blue John Lewis dress would be perfect for a wedding and many other occasions.
Really enjoyed watching the process. Sharon is lovely and so sweet for allowing to record it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the pink floral on your client and the blue jumpsuit is great!! Also love the black double breasted blazer in the neutral outfit.
Thank you so much! 😊
Wow! She looks radiant in bright colors!
Brilliant video! You really brought Sharon’s style up to date with some tweaks and styling tips. She looked amazing! 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow she looks amazing at any age but incredible for 61. Well done to Melissa too, this was really informative. Liked and subscribed
Thank you so much and welcome! 🤗
Very fun to watch…she was lovely and you made some brilliant points that we can all learn from! Especially that sleeveless top at the end. It was nice looking - but for all the reasons you stated - it wasn’t ideal. Well done and keep them coming please!
Absolutely amazing suggestions and tips to dress up Sharon to a greater degree. Ur amazing Melissa and ur team tyty for all ur tips
How wonderful this video was for the way you approached everything. I can now look at my closet and cull in a thoughtful way. I agree with Sharon, we hold on to items that become sentimental. I am 65 and my lifestyle has changed. Just to see how one can elevate a look even with the simplest of jewellery or belt etc. Melissa I have been watching for a very long time now and have adapted your tips, enough to be complemented by sales assistant in dept. store. 😊
That’s great to hear, everyone loves a compliment and wish people gave them more as it really can lighten up somebody’s day x
Brilliant video…… what a lovely lady
So much great advise
Loved it ❤
So glad! X
Really helpful vid Melissa. Gave me the inspiration to get in and whittle down even more of my already whittled down wardrobe sine I’ve become an MM fan!!!
You got this! Xx
Wow this was wonderful, and Sharon was amazing looked great in so many of the outfits but ii especially liked the blue dress.
I too have "work " clothes generally items that have been in my wardrobe but arent nessarily what id choose to buy now, i work as a library assistant and have found clothes get spoiled i.e scagged on books cd boxes etc not sure how i could combine my work and everyday life more seamlessly, though often dont feel comfortable going shopping / having coffee with friends straight afrer work perhaps you could help in one of your future videos please ?
The H&M blazer is a winner. I have that exact blazer ( I’m 153cm tall). It is amazing over all the others I tried on from many stores. Perfect with everything.
