Suited to

You have left your corporate life…..(A Thelma & Louise moment……freedom!)
So, now you can really reflect your personality. Your creativity. The inner you. What was that again?

Although your love your skinny jeans on the weekends, somehow they don’t seem right for a business meeting.
Or your body has changed shape so much. You haven’t really spent a lot of time & focus on clothing over the last few years. Money has gone towards other things…..nesting, children etc
You love to look effortless but how do you do that?
You may have too many basics in your wardrobe. Let’s inject a bit more personality.
Or do you have too much personality & feel like a kaleidoscope…..
Or what do you focus on first?

Why would styling with Finesse Business & Style, be for me?

Great question
Jane (our owner) has many decades of experience within the Fashion & Creative industries.
Supporting other business owners, particularly gentle, conscious women light her fire.
She takes the time to really understand the authentic you. One of her ‘superpowers’ is understanding what you are not saying or describing. Even more than what you are saying.
She will be able to help you look at your personal style from a different perspective. It can be so very hard to do that when you are in the thick of it.
Jane has also styled other fashion designers (you wouldn’t think that they would need a stylist) however many of us get caught up in routine. We stick to what we know. Often it takes a fresh set of eyes to show combinations of what we already have.
To inspire us. To challenge our way of thinking. To open our minds.

There are many personal stylists out there.

Gosh, I get that!
Not all of us will suit everyone.
Jane is highly qualified & experienced fashion designer. She has styled gorgeous women for over 25 years.
She approaches each of her clients from the angle of truely understanding the female body & how garments need to be cut to enhance the figure. She has not only designed her whole life but she is a very capable & experienced pattern maker.
Once you understand the theory behind your body shape, you will no longer feel like ‘if I could just change ……’ I would look better.
It is not about changing who you are. It is about working with your assets.
Learning how to disguise certain areas.
Where to lead the eye & shift the focus.

What is the benefit of getting help, is it worth the investment? ·

Most of us can only get so far on our own.
Even if we ‘google’ everything & teach ourselves, it all takes time.
It is hard to be objective, when you are in it & you haven’t done it before.
Paying for advice can propel your business & confidence so much quicker.
Jane’s strengths are to give practical advice to focus on income generating within a short period of time.

I pride myself on being an individual; will your advice just be generic?

Jane feels the same way! She doesn’t want to completely fit in with mainstream. Where everyone looks the same. They purchase from the same sorts of shops. Before you know it, that becomes a uniform.
Let’s tell YOUR story. Our story isn’t a straight line…..it is wonderfully windy & crooked.
So, let's reflect that in your aesthetic.

I am nervous how much it is going to cost?

I completely understand this.
I don’t like to be ‘surprised’ with extra charges along the way either.
Finesse is much more transparent than that!
Our initial communication is complimentary for this reason
Services are based on an hourly rate. As well each have such different requirements & needs.

Is personal styling really that important?

Well, we have heard of the quote ‘you only get once chance for a first impression’
It is human nature that we do judge on our presentation & appearance.
This can directly affect your business or job. Give yourself the very best opportunity.
We spend money on professional advice in other areas of our life.

Can’t I just google the answers?

Perhaps!
However we live in an age of information overload. It takes time to gather information, decipher & interpret what is relevant for you.
Within a short amount of time, you will find the clarity & direction from a seasoned professional.
The other thing is, 30 years experience means that I can quickly focus on your specific challenge, area.
Pay right the first time & save money in the long term.

Will this just be you telling me what to do?

· No, you are paying for professional advice.

· I specialise in empowering you rather than just ‘doing everything for you’.

· I am here to teach & support you.

Is your help one on one or a group situation?

Although Jane does speak regularly to groups. The online appointment is one-on-one.
Her passion is working one on one with female small business owners.
The focus is all about you & your specific needs.

How do you work?

We will have a complimentary talk either by phone or Zoom.
During this process, I will explain how I work. I will also ask you a series of questions so that I can understand your current situation.
This helps me understand you!
You are a beautiful & unique individual.
Each of the services are tailored to your specific situation.
Perhaps you have left corporate, started your own dream business…..now what?
This new landscape can be tricky to navigate!

Do we meet in person?

Depending on where you are based, we can either meet in person or have our sessions via Zoom.
They can also be a mix of the two.
