“I booked Carole for a Wardrobe Wake-up as I had so many clothes that either didn’t fit, didn’t suit me or I didn’t like any more. She spent 3 hours going through a lot, including clothes, accessories and jewellery. She has a really good eye for colour and, having identified my ‘season’ (Autumn) spent time selecting items that would suit my colouring, shape and style. We also chose a lot of items to be sent to charity shop or dress agency (four big bags.).

Carole is very kind, friendly and helpful. She made some really useful suggestions and was thoughtful in the way she discussed things that might not be right for me. I had been slightly nervous about showing her my old clothes but needn’t have worried. She was considerate and non-judgmental. A very therapeutic and enjoyable experience.

Follow-up was also very useful, summarizing her advice and tips plus suggestions for websites for clothes, accessories and Jewellery, plus make-up ideas. I am now considering a follow-up shopping expedition with Carole. I would highly recommend her as a highly professional style consultant and excellent person to help identify your personal look.”

“Carole – How can I thank you enough…. what a revelation! I feel totally cleansed and ready to fight battle with clothes shops now, armed with your good guidance.

The notes you have given me are perfect and will certainly put me on the right track – next time you see me, you won’t recognise me!

I was waxing lyrical about you last night and will do to anyone who will listen to me…. as soon as you have some cards ready, I will be throwing them around like confetti – you have an excellent skill and your very kind and sympathetic manner only adds to the whole experience – it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you and I couldn’t believe how the time flew by.

Many thanks again and I look forward to seeing you soon”

“I really needed Carole to come to sort out my wardrobe as I had a lot of clothes and had a real fear of letting go of them including quite a lot of my late Mother’s clothes.

I have a sporty/casual wardrobe but needed a smart look for networking other than my usual trousers and top.

I also needed to look my best for Black tie and more glamourous occasions.

I like good quality clothes in natural fabrics, such as pure cotton and wool.

First Carole very carefully and sensitively helped me to sort through my late Mother’s clothes. Mum had bought a lot of very high-quality items and was always very well turned out. Carole offered to take a lot of these to Cinderella Me for re-loving and I kept a few pieces which suited me. She was very aware of my feelings throughout this process and when I had a “wobble” she was right there for me with her comforting arms.

Next, we went through all my clothes. I got rid of a lot of black which doesn’t really suit me. Carole divided my wardrobe into sections including, work, sport, special occasion, Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter outfits. Carole put together outfits for me which I would never have thought of!

Then we organised my holiday wardrobe as I was going away at the end of that week. In future I will be able to pack my case in no time at all as Carole organised my wardrobe with a specific holiday section.

She also advised me on some of the “gaps” in my wardrobe for example to look for white trousers, a fluid pair and a more fitted pair. One of these I was able to buy in Cinderella Me, and the other I found in my wardrobe which I hadn’t worn for absolutely years!! They still fitted me, and Carole showed me various looks I could achieve using my existing tops.

I now find that I have fewer clothes, but more outfits and I know what to buy and what to avoid.

More than a clearing out of clothes for me was an emotional clearing as well. Every woman needs Carole to “hold her hand” through this process.

Thank you, Carole”

“Having spent many years buying clothes that I liked on the hanger in the shop I kept wondering why I never wore some of them. I saw Carole present her Wardrobe Wake up and related to what she said so decided to invest in a session with her.

Carole approached the session in a way that made me feel comfortable…even though I knew I’d be saying goodbye to some of my clothes!

She explained what colours, materials and styles suited me and why and as predicted I had a pile of unsuitable clothes! When I went shopping for the first time after our session, I approached it with a completely different mindset and bought a few items I knew wouldn’t sit in my wardrobe not being worn! I avoided looking at items I liked the look off and stuck to the advice Carole had given. My wardrobe now has brighter colours in it that also work with each other.”

“I had a wonderful Wardrobe Wake-Up with Carole!

Carole helped me to understand the styles that suit me and those which don’t and so increased my confidence in choosing and wearing my clothes. She created new outfits by clever combinations of existing items – a few things that have sat in the wardrobe for 15 years have been rejuvenated! We identified things to sell or give away and Carole suggested a few basics to add to my wardrobe.

I had been nervous about inviting Carole, who is always so stylish, to view my wardrobe as I have a lot of old clothes that I am attached to! However I didn’t need to worry, Carole is sensitive and constructive and it was an enjoyable and exciting afternoon and I feel renewed confidence in dressing for any occasion!”

“This afternoon I had a very scary but inspiring experience from my friend Carole Greenland who made a ‘start’ on decluttering my wardrobe! I have never taken the plunge to ‘get rid’ ever, so it was a major task for me and for Carole who handled my request very delicately but firm. The experience was like an introduction to my clothes for the first time. Carole also gave her expert opinion on certain clothes matching other items of clothing that you wouldn’t have necessarily have seen for yourself. If you feel like me, unable to let go, give Carole a call at Wardrobe Wakeup. Xx”

“Carole came to my rescue with her wardrobe wake up service. I had too many clothes and didn’t know which ones to discard and which ones to keep. It was all getting too much so my new year present to myself was to book Carole. She quickly helped sort through which ones suited and which ones didn’t . She even used her knowledge of colour analysis to show me what I should buy and what to avoid. We managed to cut my wardrobe in half then she showed me ways of rematching new outfits so I could get maximum use of the clothes I had. Best of all she did it without judgement or condescending attitude. It was a real friend in need situation with practical advice to get the job done. Definitely a service I would recommend every year !”

“Carole’s Wardrobe Wake-up is so empowering. I’d been wanting to do this for years, but was too scared of being judged.

Carole, came to my home and made me feel at ease immediately. We discussed what I wanted from the day (Body confidence, declutter &
education about what colours work for my skin tone and shape for my figure)

I then had a colour consultation, then headed to the wardrobe!

We went through every single item of clothing I owned. My clothes now fit in my wardrobe, I can see them, I feel fantastic inthem and I can mix & match them!

Honestly it’s been one of the best days, and I’m proud for doing this for me.

Carole has so much knowledge and passion she’s non judgmental and has the kindest soul. Highly recommend to everyone.”

“Wow, I’ve just had the most amazing day with Carole Greenland and her Wardrobe Wake-up.

I was feeling a bit disillusioned and fed up of my wardrobe and needed to spice it up a little bit from “mummy” vibes to professional businesswomen/goddess.

It was such a fun day, firstly exploring the colours that suited me then going through my existing wardrobe, finding new ways to mix and match clothing with the colours and style that suit me. I was amazed how much I already had and with a bit of creativity, playing with colours and accessorising it has opened up a whole new wardrobe for me.

Carole did a “gap analysis” and helped find some key elements to complement what I already have.

Carole is so much fun to work with, she puts you totally at ease and knows what makes you look good. She has really boosted my confidence and helped me feel confident, professional, and sexy again!”

“I had a Wardrobe Wake-up appointment with Carole today.

My wardrobe is huge, lots of great items, some going back decades!

My problem was that I had so many clothes I couldn’t see any of them and wear the same things over and over again.

After four hours I have two charity bags and two dress agency bags, and a wardrobe that is organised and useful, with rediscoveries and whole new ways of wearing the clothes that I have.

Thank you so much Carole! I’d recommend this service to anyone who wants help decluttering, or who just wants to see their clothes work in different ways.”

“What a great investment of time and money my sessions with Carole have been!

Having changed country, climate, lifestyle and letting my hair go grey, I had no idea what now suits me or what to wear.

I still need to travel abroad for work and packing took me forever.

Carole showed me which colours now suit me, helped to clear out what doesn’t work and then put fab new outfits together, listing the gaps in my wardrobe.

It was great fun and I now take a fraction of the time to pack and dress and am laser-focused when buying to the rules she gave me.

Super recommend Carole’s wardrobe refresh for all the above and the boost to self-esteem and wellbeing!”

“I have been thinking for many years about having a colour analysis done. With my son’s wedding coming up and looking at my very tired and overfilled wardrobe, I thought it was about time to act, so was very pleased when Carole was recommended to me.

Carole came to my home and spent the day with me discussing the colours and styles that suit my skin tone, body shape and lifestyle. We also talked about my specific requirements regarding the forthcoming wedding celebration.

A large part of the day was spent looking at the clothes I was currently wearing and, perhaps more importantly, those that I wasn’t! It wasn’t difficult saying goodbye to the bulk of the clothes that were filling my wardrobe and Carole took very many away with her, as part of the service, to be donated to charity.

A couple of weeks later I received a personalised follow up letter from Carole, which not only reinforced some of the information we had discussed during her visit, but also included recommendations for clothing items and websites to start me off on my search for the wedding outfit.

Since my Wardrobe Wake Up experience I’ve found a renewed interest and confidence in myself and my appearance and my new outfit is ready and waiting for the big day.

Thank you, Carole!”

“I had a wardrobe wake up with Carole recently and just wanted to share what an amazing experience it was.

We sat down, had a cuppa and a chat and Carole asked lots of questions to find out more about me, my lifestyle, influences, likes and dislikes. It just felt like a lovely chat but Carole was building up a picture of who I was and how my wardrobe could reflect my personality for the stage of life I’m in now.

Having turned 30 recently and starting my own business, I was going through a bit of a transition phase, my work and home life has changed and as a result I have put on a little weight and just didn’t feel comfortable in a-lot of my clothes anymore.

Carole first carried out a colour analysis which revealed my most flattering colours, then we had fun putting them together into colour collections and combinations which I took lots of photos of for future reference.

It was super helpful to have a visual reference like this which I now refer to when I’m shopping.

Then we went through my wardrobe – I was ready for a good clear out and Carole really helped me to categorise clothes and accessories into piles “to recycle” “to sell”
and “to keep” – then we went through the to keep pile and Carole showed me how to pair items together perfectly for my body type showing me what features to look for and what to avoid. She also identified gaps in my existing wardrobe and made recommendations of what I could purchase that would go with the things I already have and elevate some of my existing pieces.

It was great! I came away for the experience actually knowing what to look for when I went shopping. And feeling inspired and confident to go out and try on clothes that would actually flatter my curvy figure rather than hide it.

After the day itself, Carole sent through all her tips, tricks and recommendations of clothing and accessories to purchase so I have this reference for future.

The whole day felt so empowering and gave me such a confidence boost. I now have the confidence to be creative and pick bold colours and styles that I know will look fabulous.

I’d recommend this for anyone, but particularly those who are going through or have recently gone through some sort of transition, whether that’s work, relationship or your body. It’s a great way to promote healthy body image and stop trying to fit into clothes that don’t work for you and start wearing things that make you feel (and look) fabulous.

Thanks so much, Carole, I am now recommending you to everyone I know!”

“I met Carole at a ladies’ lunch recently and when I learned she was a stylist who could come to sort out my wardrobe I was both excited and relieved. You see my lifestyle has changed over the last few years and I felt that I’d lost my way with regard to my personal style.

I booked an appointment and before her visit I told Carole that I didn’t really have too many clothes and I seemed to wear the same ones on repeat.

Carole did a colour analysis to see which ones suited me most and then we went to look at my clothes. I was wearing a bright pink jumper (which turned out to be a shade that didn’t complement my colouring) with a pair of black jeans. Carole found a blouse in my wardrobe and suggested I put it under the jumper, collar out, cuffs over the jumper sleeves and hem showing at the bottom. I immediately looked more ‘put together’ with just a simple addition I would never have thought of.

The next couple of hours were great fun, Carole showed me how to put outfits together that I would never have imagined for myself, I kept saying ‘I’d never have thought of putting this with that.’

It turns out that I have far more clothes than I realised and I now have the tools to be more creative when I put an outfit together.

Following my wardrobe wake-up Carole sent notes on what styles suit me most and suggested footwear and accessories that would look good. There were links to her suggestions which were so helpful as I often struggle to know where to find what I want.

Carole certainly woke up my wardrobe, she’s a fabulous stylist.“

“I recently underwent a ‘Wardrobe Wake-Up’ from the lovely Carole Greenland, and boy did I need it. I knew I had a pile of clothes in my wardrobe that didn’t suit me, and even though I wasn’t wearing them, I just couldn’t throw them out! It’s been very cathartic to work with Carole and clear out that stuff.

Carole was brilliant and put together outfits I never would have considered; she has bought to life tops and trousers I had long buried under other clothes. I now have a whole ‘new’ wardrobe of outfits from my existing clothes.

It’s not often I buy new clothes, mostly as I just don’t enjoy it and can never find anything I really like, so Carole has recommended a whole load of stores I’ve never heard of whose styles and colours fit perfectly with what I am looking for.

We had a great afternoon discussing styles, colours, shoes, accessories and even make up – I never thought I would enjoy it so much, it felt like a real treat.

Carole has followed up our appointment with a very thorough email outlining all that we ‘discovered’ with a whole host of links to stores and her recommendations for a few essential purchases that I can’t wait to go out and find.

Thanks Carole for an extremely enjoyable and highly beneficial afternoon!

I can highly recommend Carole if your Wardrobe needs a Wake-Up too!”

“If you want to wake up your wardrobe and have a fun time with friends then I can highly recommend wardrobe wake up. Carole has a natural
flair and creativity when it comes to clothes and accessories. She’s fun, chatty, kind, non judgmental and our consultation time passed really quickly.

We spent some time understanding which colour palette suited me best and which colours were neutral and highlighted colours

The best part was when Carole matched items in my wardrobe and put together style combinations which I had never thought of. It has really made me think to use my whole wardrobe and enjoy my clothes rather than getting stuck in a rut. Thank you Carole.”

“Booking a Wardrobe Wake Up was truly one of the best things I have done.

After reaching my forties I felt a bit lost in what my style was now and had fallen out of love a little bit with clothes and wanted some advice on colours and styles and started looking for personal shoppers when I came across Carole’s website.

Carole is such a lovely person and made me feel at ease straight away and she also highlighted how you dress is a creative experience not just about looking good. I was also delighted to realise I had many more outfits in my wardrobe than I first thought and now understand why certain things sometimes don’t just look right. I am now looking at outfits in colours and styles I would never had considered before Wardrobe Wake Up.

It was a very liberating experience and I highly recommend Carole’s services to anyone looking to enhance their look or get that spark back. :- )”
