If you’ve found yourself standing in front of a wardrobe full of clothes and still feeling like you have nothing to wear, you’re not alone.
I’m Harriet, a personal stylist with With Style, helping women across West Sussex and the surrounding areas rediscover their confidence through style. Whether you’re navigating a new chapter in life, returning to work, experiencing body changes or simply feeling stuck in a style rut, I’m here to help you create a wardrobe that truly works for you.
My journey into personal styling
Fashion has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always dressing up, organising fashion shows and styling photoshoots with my friends. That passion led me into a career in visual merchandising before completing my degree in Fashion.
Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of corporate roles, travelled extensively and lived abroad. Like many women, I’ve experienced lifestyle changes that have affected my confidence, my body and the way I feel about getting dressed.
I understand how frustrating it can be when your wardrobe no longer reflects who you are today, or when getting dressed feels more stressful than enjoyable.
That’s one of the reasons I became a personal stylist.
My approach to styling
For me, personal styling is about so much more than clothes.
It’s about helping you feel comfortable, confident and authentically yourself.
I don’t believe you need to follow every trend or buy an entirely new wardrobe. Instead, I can help you discover the colours, shapes and styles that suit your body, your personality and your lifestyle, making getting dressed every morning easier and more enjoyable.
Whether that’s through a wardrobe edit, personal shopping session, colour analysis, or simply helping you make the most of the clothes you already own, my aim is to create a style that feels effortless and completely your own.
Alongside personal styling, I’m also a qualified yoga teacher. Yoga has taught me the importance of self-acceptance, confidence and reconnecting with ourselves—values that naturally influence the way I work with my styling clients.
I understand that booking a personal stylist can feel like a big step, which is why I strive to create a calm, supportive and judgement-free experience where you can enjoy discovering your personal style.
How can a personal stylist help?
Many people think personal styling is only for celebrities or special occasions, but that’s a common misconception.
In reality, a personal stylist can help if you:
- Feel like you’ve lost your sense of style
- Wear the same outfits on repeat
- Don’t know what suits your body shape
- Want to shop more confidently and stop making costly mistakes
- Need a wardrobe that reflects your current lifestyle
- Want to stop wasting money on clothes you never wear
- Have had a lifestyle or body shape change that means your wardrobe no longer works for you
- Would like to discover the colours that enhance your natural features
- Find certain items, such as jeans, swimwear or occasion-wear, particularly difficult to shop for
- Have a wardrobe full of clothes but still feel like you have nothing to wear
Whether you’re looking for a complete style refresh or just need a little guidance, my goal is to help you build a wardrobe you’ll genuinely enjoy wearing—one that gives you confidence every time you get dressed.
