WHY FITTING SESSIONS AT HOME ARE NECESSARY



I personally love spending time with my clothes and trying things on, different ways.

I do understand though, this is not for everyone, as I hear this constantly from woman I work with.

This is the first thing that woman avoid to do, as it is tiresome, can't be bothered, it is not a priority or they don't want to spend the time doing so.


A mi personalmente me encanta pasar tiempo con mi armario, probarme toda la ropa en sesiones de pruebas, creando conjuntos.

Lo que pasa que entiendo que esto no es para todo el mundo, porque oigo constantemente de las mujeres con las que trabajo que es lo primero que intentan evitar. Es cansado, da pereza, no es una prioridad o no quieren pasar ese tiempo probándose ropa.


Let me tell you though, if you are reading this, or you came to any of my events, you like fashion and care about yourself somehow, so I am afraid to say, this is the first thing we need to do in order to get it right, avoid as many purchasing mistakes as possible, and even before decluttering your wardrobe.


Déjame decirte algo, si estás leyendo esto, o has venido a algún evento mío alguna vez, te gusta la moda, y te cuidas y te importa como sales a la calle. Así que siento decirte que es lo primero que tienes que hacer para evitar tantas compras erróneas como sea posible, e incluso mucho antes de hacer limpieza de armario cada temporada.


Fitting sessions are nothing new, from content creators, influencers to actresses in getting the outfits just right according to the style it needs to be achieved, so don't be shy, and don't leave this out just for instagram, do it with your own clothes too!


Las sesiones de pruebas no son nada nuevo, desde los creadores de contenido o influencers, hasta las actrices al hacer películas e ir a eventos, con el objetivo de conseguir el estilo o el mensaje que se quiera transmitir. No dejes sólo a instagram que haga esto, empieza tú, con tu propio armario.


If I have not convinced you yet, doing fitting sessions at home gives you MASSIVE benefits and save you money. Here is why:


Si no te he convenido aún, hacer sesiones de pruebas con tu armario te va a dar GRANDES beneficios y te va a ahorrar dinero. Aquí van seis razones:


1- THAT ONE PIECE YOU WANT TO BUY...

You may not need it yet. When you start analysing and trying things on in your wardrobe, you may realise you actually don't need that specific piece and you already have plenty of outfit combinations for a specific item.


1- ESA PRENDA QUE QUIERES COMPRARTE...

Resulta que igual no la necesitas todavía.

Al empezar a hacer pruebas analizas tu armario sin darte cuenta, y puede que te des cuenta de que esa camiseta de cierto color que tienes en mente para ese pantalón concreto, no la necesitas y ya tienes un montón de opciones para el pantalón.


2- HAVE A BANK OF OUTFITS TO REMEMBER AND READY TO GO.

Take a picture! when creating an outfit.

It is actually a fact, that the less you think an outfit, the more creative it appears.

I am sure you have those moments, when you are rushing out the door and you put whatever you grab first hand without giving it too much though, and yet you look in the mirror and realise that is a cool combination it never occurred to you before.

While this is true, taking the actual time to think combinations in advance, it will save you lots of time for those other occasions when you need to look polished and may not be so spontaneously creative in a rush. Try it!


2- TIENES UN BANCO DE CONJUNTOS LISTOS PARA SALIR POR LA PUERTA.

Hazte fotos, cuando hagas un conjunto que te gusta.

Lo cierto es que es un hecho que cuando menos lo piensas, mas creativo te sale un conjunto a veces. Algunas veces has salido de casa sin pensar mucho que te ponías y resulta que pensaste que esa combinación de prendas nunca la habías pensado antes.

Eso es verdad, pero esa suerte no siempre pasa, y al hacer sesiones de pruebas te garantizas tener un banco de ideas ya creadas para otras ocasiones en las que no estes tan creativa al salir por la puerta.


3- YOU SPOT WHAT YOU ARE MISSING.

This is so useful ( and obvious) ! you really spot right there and then what you are missing when putting outfits together, are you struggling with shoes? bags? coats? basics? more colour?

Doing fittings gives you sooo much information, you could not believe it, try it!


3- TE DAS CUENTA DE QUÉ ECHAS DE MENOS.

Esto es tán útil, y tan obvio. Realmente te das cuenta de que echas de menos al vestirte. ¿Abrigos? ¿zapatos? ¿bolsos? ¿colores en la parte de arriba? ¿menos pantalones negros?

Hacer sesiones de pruebas te da tanta información que no te lo vas a creer. Pruébalo.


4- YOUR SHOPPING LIST, DONE!

When you spot what you are missing, write it down! That way, when the time comes to go shopping you will not buy stuff randomly, because you will have a list of prepared ideas in your head, of what items will maximise your wardrobe.


4- TU LISTA DE LA COMPRA, ¡HECHA!

Cuando te das cuenta de lo que te falta, escríbelo. Así, cuando llegue el momento de ir de compras, no vas comprar sin sentido, sino que tendrás en tu cabeza una lista de cosas que mejorarán tu armario para maximizar su potencial.


5- FOCUS ON YOUR NEW FOUND STYLE OR ELEVATED STYLE.

This is taken from my experience working with woman who want to move from one style to another.

I will put myself here as an example. I naturally gravitate my outfits to be , I call it very Topshop-y girl.

This to me, it means, young and casual but in a way I don't identify very much with anymore.

By doing fittings though, I realise I still do tend to built in this style! All of us gravitate naturally towards a certain way of dressing, but different changes in our life make us want to change or elevate our style.

In my case, I have now very clear what style I want to go for, so when I see the outfit very TopShop like, I can refocus the outfit and amend it to the new style I have in mind which will suit me much more these days.


5- TE HACE CONCENTRARTE EN TU NUEVO ESTILO

Por experiencia de las mujeres con las que trabajo, que quieren moverse de un estilo hacia otro.

Aqui me voy a poner de ejemplo. A mi me encantaba la tienda TopShop, y cuando hago sesiones de estilo, me doy cuenta que naturalmente sigo haciendo los conjuntos en ese estilo de la tienda. No hay nada malo, pero ahora tengo muy claro el estilo al que quiero moverme, y hacer pruebas me da la oportunidad de cambiar el conjunto y adaptarlo a mi nuevo estilo.


6- REALISE IF YOUR WARDROBE IS MATCHING YOUR LIFESTYLE, RIGHT NOW.

This is a really good one. By doing this exercise, I often realise I have quite a few bits to go brunching around, and events and meetings, yet I barely have comfy clothes to go to the park five days a week with a two year old toddler.

Feel related? Doing fittings helps you realised what your lifestyle actually is right now, and spot the pieces that you need to include even if you don't want to.


6- DARTE CUENTA DE SI TU ARMARIO REFLEJA TU ESTILO DE VIDA ACTUAL.

Haciendo sesiones de pruebas, me doy cuenta que tengo varias opciones para brunches por ahí, eventos o reuniones de trabajo, sin embargo, no hay ropa para ir al parque con mi hija de dos años cinco veces por semana. ¿Te sientes identificada? Hacer sesiones me ayuda a darme cuenta de qué parte de mi estilo de vida, esta ausente en mi armario.


I understand doing fittings requires to have an idea of what you want in your head in terms of style.

If you need more help with this, don't hesitate to contact me and say hi and we can work this out together.

  • Do I need to be actively involved in the process once I purchase the Style Breakthrough service?
    Yes. This service is designed for individuals who are truly ready to commit to discovering their authentic style and breaking free from impulsive, unfulfilling purchases. We work with clients who are at a stage in their lives where they want a more intentional and sustainable approach to their wardrobe. By trusting the process and fully engaging in it, you’ll achieve lasting results—a style that feels effortless, cohesive, and truly you.
  • Will I have to get rid of all my clothes?
    Not at all! The goal is to work with what you already have and refine your wardrobe, not to start from scratch. We’ll assess what truly aligns with your style, what can be repurposed, and what might not be serving you anymore. The process is about intention—curating a wardrobe that supports your style, not just replacing everything for the sake of it.
  • Will the Style Breakthrough service change me into someone I’m not?
    Absolutely not! This service isn’t about forcing you into a specific style or making you dress in a way that doesn’t feel like you. Instead, it’s about uncovering and refining the style that already aligns with who you are at this stage of your life. Think of it as a process of self-discovery—one that empowers you to feel more confident, authentic, and in control of your wardrobe. You won’t be told what to wear; rather, you’ll gain clarity on what truly resonates with you, so getting dressed feels effortless and right for you. This is about embracing your style, not changing it into something it’s not.
  • Do I need to be passionate about fashion to benefit from the Style Breakthrough service?
    Not at all! The Style Breakthrough is for anyone who wants to feel confident and authentic in what they wear—whether or not they follow fashion trends. However, this service is about more than just clothes; it’s about shifting your mindset around style and shopping. To truly benefit, you need to be open to change. If you’re ready to break free from old shopping habits, stop wasting money on pieces that don’t work, and build a wardrobe that reflects who you are, this process will give you clarity and confidence. But this may not be the right fit if you’re looking for a quick fix without a commitment to real change. Style isn’t about following rules—it’s about redefining your relationship with your wardrobe and embracing a new way of dressing that truly serves you.
  • Is the Style Breakthrough service only for people who feel lost in their style?
    Not at all! While the service is perfect for those who feel disconnected from their wardrobe, it’s also designed for anyone who wants to refine, refresh, or evolve their personal style. Whether you’re going through a life transition, seeking a more cohesive wardrobe, or simply wanting to shop with more confidence and clarity, the Style Breakthrough will help you build a wardrobe that truly represents you. It’s about making style effortless, authentic, and aligned with who you are—wherever you are on your style journey.
  • Why should I book the Style Simplified session instead of jumping straight into a full service?
    The Style Simplified session is a great starting point because it allows you to gain essential insight into your wardrobe and style goals, without committing to a larger service right away. If you’re not sure where to begin or feel overwhelmed by the thought of a full transformation, this session helps break things down into manageable steps. Think of it as a powerful checkpoint that gives you the information you need to move forward with confidence—whether you choose to continue working together or implement the insights on your own. If you’re ready for a shift but need help figuring out where to focus, this session is your ideal first step.
  • What can I expect to gain from the Style Simplified session?
    n this session, you’ll gain clarity on your current wardrobe’s strengths and weaknesses, a deeper understanding of your shopping and style habits, and a personalized action plan for moving forward. You’ll walk away with key takeaways that will help you avoid wasting money on pieces that don’t serve you and begin creating a wardrobe that aligns with your authentic self. It’s a highly informative session, and by the end, you’ll feel empowered to make better shopping decisions and be clear on the direction your wardrobe needs to go to reflect who you truly are.
  • I feel overwhelmed by my closet. Can the Style Simplified session help me with that?
    Yes! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your closet, the Style Simplified session is a great way to gain clarity.

We’ll focus on simplifying your approach to style, making the whole process less stressful and more aligned with what actually feels good for you. However, please note that we need to focus on one season at a time. If you have a large wardrobe, we’ll begin by breaking down your favorite pieces, and I’ll provide exercises to help you continue the process on your own. The goal is to create a manageable, actionable plan for your wardrobe that’s tailored to your current needs. By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident and in control, with a clearer understanding of how to move forward without feeling bogged down by unnecessary items or decisions.

  • What if I don’t like the style you suggest for me?
    There’s no one-size-fits-all “look” that I impose on clients. This process is collaborative, and everything is built around your personality, preferences, and lifestyle. You’ll be involved every step of the way, ensuring that your final style direction feels natural and authentic to you. My role is to guide, refine, and bring clarity—not to dictate or change who you are.
  • What is a Wardrobe Audit?
    A Wardrobe Audit is a deep assessment of your current wardrobe to ensure it aligns with your personal style, offers versatility, and works cohesively as a whole.

Using a structured methodology, we evaluate your wardrobe for consistency in style, cohesiveness, variation, and balance—even if those terms don’t mean much to you yet, don’t worry! The process is designed to give you clarity on what works, what’s missing, and how to make getting dressed effortless. By the end of the audit, you’ll gain a clearer sense of direction, ensuring every piece in your wardrobe contributes to a style that feels natural and empowering. If you’re tired of feeling like your closet is full of clothes but nothing quite works together, this is the step that will change that.
