Karen Lowe Image Consultant & Personal Stylist

I loved my time with Karen. She taught me how to use my old wardrobe in a new way. I also really wanted her help in buying new clothes that would compliment my body AND personality, and she absolutely managed to do that. She understood what I liked and what looked good on me, and helped me understand it too. I felt it was about finding my own style more than keeping up to date with what's cool and hip at the moment. It gave me a real boost of confidence working with Karen, and I'd reccomend her to anyone and everyone. I'm thinking of treating my husband to a session with her as well.

Having a colour analysis and shopping with Karen was the best money I have spent on myself that I can remember. I previously never had anything in my wardrobe that I liked, didn't know what to buy, and found shopping and getting dressed stressful. Karen understood exactly what I needed and we have created a gorgeous capsule wardrobe which I can really easily mix and match from, with so little effort and I feel and look great! My confidence in myself has improved, and I feel so comfy and stylish in a way I didn't know would be possible, in a really low maintenance way which suits me a lot! I feel more like the real me rather than hiding. Thank you so much Karen, would not hesitate to recommend to anyone xx.

Karen was absolutely fantastic and was a pleasure to spend time with! I had a colour analysis which was really eye opening and informative before heading out on a personal shopping trip. I felt that Karen really understood what I was looking for and what I needed help with! Straight away Karen picked pieces that I loved and wouldn’t think of putting together. I came away feeling that I’d found my fashion mojo again, and even felt more confident and full of enthusiasm for fashion again. Being a bit of a denimphobe Karen even managed to get me to buy 2 pairs of jeans which I love. I really feel like a cane away with a capsule winter wardrobe where I can mix and match the items for different looks. I can’t wait to strut my stuff in my new pieces. Thank you Karen! X.

Wow wow wow! Buying 5 hours of Karen's styling experience for my partner, Tracy, is easily the best present I've ever bought her… She's come back glowing from the inside out, radiating a gorgeous feminine energy that's making me purr like the cat that's got the cream! It's proven to be everything I could have hoped it would be for Tracy. Not just an opportunity to review her wardrobe and explore different styles and ideas or the range of new clothes she's now rocking but I can see and literally feel how much more range and confidence it's given her in what she's wearing and how and what really works for her, for herself. Thank you Karen! Money very very well spent. So much more than a styling experience!

My boyfriend bought me a 5 hour session with Karen for my birthday. We spent 2 hours going through my clothes and Karen helped me put together things I had which I’d never even thought of! We identified what was missing and had a fabulous 3 hour shop today. Restricted by Covid there were only a couple of changing rooms but it worked. Karen knee exactly what would work with my body shape and style and sure enough some tops that didn’t look that great to me on the hanger looked and felt fantastic on! Karen really made me feel at ease and I had a really wonderful time. Highly recommend! Thank you, Karen xx.

I booked Karen for a personal shop, as was totally stuck in a rut style-wise. I thoroughly recommend her. It was like going shopping with a friend, a very stylish one. She picked out pieces for me that I wouldn’t have picked myself, but once I got home and tried them all on, they all worked. I came home with a capsule wardrobe collection that I am looking forward to wearing. The fact the changing rooms aren’t open at the moment wasn’t an issue at all, as Karen talked me through how to style the items, dress them up or down and also how to mix and match them. I had a great morning and am definitely booking again for Spring / Summer next year. Thanks Karen.

I’d highly recommend Karen. I had a colour consultation and personal shop session with her and it was a game changer. Although I was nervous about it, I actually enjoyed clothes shopping for the first time in years. Karen is very warm, good fun and easy to get along with. She works with you to help find clothes you will love and help your own style shine through- no forcing you into things you don’t like or wouldn’t wear. It feels like shopping with a very good, and stylish, friend! I came away from it feeling like a new woman and I look forward to shopping with Karen again soon.

I booked Karen for a wardrobe visit and then a 3 hour personal shopping trip. I felt really out of touch with my clothes and dress sense and Karen spent the time getting to know what I liked and didn't like and came up with suggestions that would work. Not only did she show me how to change the way I wear my current clothes, she showed me new styles to try. I loved every minute and have some amazing new outfits for day and night! Karen really knows her clothes and styles and would highly recommend her services. I'm going to look forward to hopefully seeing Karen again! X.

Karen made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable, I had a brilliant day out and came away with clothes which I love. She encouraged me to try things slightly out of my comfort zone whilst still listening to my opinion. If you need a bit of clothes inspiration I would highly recommend going shopping with Karen.

Firstly, Karen came to our house for a wardrobe consultation. That gave me ideas of how to combine my clothes in a different way and add another twist to my style. After that I spent a morning shopping with Karen and it was such great fun. I’m looking at dressing now every morning (or preparing it in the evening) in a completely different way. After using some of her ideas, I not only look but feel much more sophisticated whilst being true to myself.

After having children, I hadn’t been shopping properly for nearly 5 years and I was living in jeans and t-shirts. I was starting to feel particularly anxious about dressing up and going out. Karen was brilliant- she really helped me identify my style and gave me the confidence to wear beautiful clothes again. I’ve had so many compliments since shopping with Karen and I highly recommend her service. Thanks.

I loved every minute with Karen. I live in sports clothes and anything comfortable. Karen showed me how I could still be comfortable, but with a stylish and cool vibe. From showing me how to pair clothes/colours/coats to effortlessly choosing clothes for me to try on and compliment my own things. She showed me how to alter items to fit better - genius, and how much taller, longer, and better put together I could look. Karen is gorgeous, she's warm, funny and most certainly on it when it comes to fashion and girl power! If you are looking for a little inspiration to pep up your wardrobe, Karen is your woman. Personally, I can't wait to enjoy the experience again :).

I'm so glad I had the courage to get in contact with Karen. I have been going through a roughly time medically and needed something for myself. A had the full works; colour analysis, wardrobe consultation and personal shopping day its the best money I have spent. I had a great time shopping and being brave with my clothing choices. The great thing about Karen is she will look for things that will enhance your existing wardrobe and you are under no pressure to buy a whole new set of clothes. Karen is conscious of budget (even if I wasn't) and I am getting many compliments on my new clothes. I have even booked in for Autumn/winter this year (2019) as I have had such a great experience.

I’m not particularly motivated to go shopping alone because I struggle to know what suits me, what colours to choose, and generally feel a bit unsure of myself in new clothes. I’m also wary of picking things that I’ll later reject, only to have to return them. I can easily walk into, around, and out of a large department store convinced that there’s nothing in it for me. When I do buy clothes, I often by something similar to what I already have, so over time my wardrobe becomes a collection of the safe and the similar. To make it harder still, my partner (who is a great help) hates going shopping and quickly tires of my endless indecision – clearly the time had come to try a different approach, and this is where Karen stepped in. After arranging a time and place to meet, Karen quickly spotted me at the agreed location and suggested we spend a little time over coffee to discuss what I was hoping for and any likes or dislikes I had. Karen made it incredibly easy, asking some simple questions and listening patiently to my responses, clarifying anything that I was unclear about, and quickly building up an understanding of my needs and budget. After coffee we set off and started looking at the clothes – rails that I would probably have walked past became places to stop and consider the options. Karen’s earlier questions helped guide the initial choices, and her positive enthusiasm for the clothes soon eased my concerns and I agreed to ty some things that I wouldn’t normally pick. After a few initial suggestions from Karen I felt more confident and able to pick some things myself. After a couple of trips around the racks, first for tops, then trousers, and finally shoes, we had amassed a collection of items to try. I was fortunate that, at the time I’d chosen, the store’s private changing room was available for us to use making it easy to collect multiple items before having to try anything on. With Karen’s help I progressively tried on different colours, combinations, and styles – quickly rejecting those that didn’t work, and narrowing down the choice to those that did. Each time Karen offered her considered opinion – what worked, what didn’t, why it suited me, or what to change to make it work better – never did I feel like I was being “sold to, ” it was just really helpful advice and feedback. I have to admit, it was pretty cool to be able to stand in front of the mirror wearing something completely different to what I’d normally wear and admit to myself that I looked cool. At the end of the day, with Karen’s help, I had a completely new collection of clothes that could be swapped around to create far more combinations than I had expected. Karen’s careful approach meant that I would also be able to combine the new items with my existing wardrobe, thanks to the time she spent early on understanding what I had already and what I was looking for. Shopping for clothes in the past has been something that I’ve mostly avoided except out of necessity. Shopping with Karen was a great experience and I feel like I’ve come away with a wealth of advice and understanding about what suits me so that I’m better equipped to shop for myself. Karen was incredibly patient, brilliantly helpful, never pushy, and always prepared to answer my questions. I felt at ease throughout the whole day, and I can honestly say that the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable – and when the time comes, I’ll be getting in touch with Karen again for a top-up. If, like me, you’re open to trying a few new things but need some professional advice to get you started I absolutely recommend Karen.Moreexpand_more

I had two amazing sessions with Karen. During our first consultation she delved into my wardrobe and came out with a pair of legs and a waistline I didn't realise I had! Karen also helped me to mix and match my existing clothes to make great outfits for all occasions. Our second session was a fabulous personal shopping experience (normally I hate shopping! ). Karen filled in the gaps she had identified from our first session and chose items that I would not have considered if I had been shopping on my own. Karen has a true gift, she is able to recognise and match individual personalities to style. She is a kind, witty and professional person and I would strongly recommend using her services.

I spent 3 hours with Karen personal shopping. She was absolutely brilliant, helping me define my style and picking out clothes that I would never have chosen, but which worked really well. She gave me lots of tips and advice about how to make my wardrobe work for me. And on top of it all she was lovely and charming and great fun to hang out with. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic experience…has changed my outlook on colours and fashion and made me feel like a new person. The colour analysis was so insightful and shopping with Karen was a real treat. She is understanding and supportive yet clear and authoritative in her advice. My new wardrobe is both stylish and functional, fitting the many aspects of my lifestyle - busy mum, professional and country girl! Thank you so very much, I cannot wait for the next shopping trip!

I absolutely loved the two sessions I had with Karen. Having her expert advice and 'eye' whilst going through my wardrobe was great and her positivity made me feel much more confident about my wardrobe and how I can put outfits together. The shopping trip was amazing, Karen helped me find items and put together looks that I would not have considered before and I feel so excited to put it all together over the next few weeks. She is also a really fun, upbeat and chatty person so it was a bit like shopping with a friend!

I received the wonderful treat of a colour and wardrobe analysis, along with a personal shopping session with Karen for my 40th birthday. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish, and I’ve come away feeling that I’ve discovered my own unique style and have a new found confidence and enjoyment in what I wear. Karen's warm and friendly approach, as well as the extent of her knowledge, meant that I felt at ease from the very start and that she really understood me and what I needed from the experience. The colour analysis was so interesting and gave me a clear understanding of what colours I can wear, and when going through my wardrobe Karen gave me lots of great tips on new ways to wear my existing clothes. The personal shopping experience was so much fun. I’ve come away with a fantastic range of clothes which all work together - and I love them! I can’t wait to choose what I’m going to wear each day now. Thank you so much Karen xx.

After my wife’s sartorial transformation following a successful consultation with Karen, she suggested it was about time I updated my tired and dated wardrobe. As I’ve gotten older my sense of style seems to have disappeared, along with any fashion-based self-esteem. However, following an initial consultation and very successful (not least, incredibly enjoyable) shopping trip with Karen, my wardrobe is now full of colours and styles that I wouldn’t normally think of wearing. Karen was able to push the boundaries, suggest things that suit me as an individual (body shape, eye colour, hair colour etc. ) and everything I came away with can be mixed into various combinations of different outfits, all of which I love! She’s also given me the confidence to be more adventurous the next time I go shopping, which is great. So if you open your wardrobe, look at a rail full of clothes and think you’ve got nothing to wear, give Karen a call – you won’t regret it!
