Dress With Confidence
These 4 elements run through all of my work, and depending on how deep you want to go, will determine the right level for you to work through them.
In the summer of 2019, I needed a Plan B.
It was a Friday morning, and plan A was to complete a colour analysis and style personality session that afternoon, followed by a wardrobe audit the next day. My client lived 180 miles away. She’d booked a Colour, Personal Style & Image intensive with me after completing a taster course the previous year.
As I arrived on her doorstep, after the 3-hour journey, it was clear that she wasn’t feeling great. But she told me she hadn’t cancelled as she was really looking forward to our couple of days together. We had planned a deep delve into her personal style so that she could make her wardrobe her friend.
She’s an intelligent, competent, confident woman generally, VERY good at what she does for a living, yet felt a level of embarrassment about her perceived inadequacy in the style department.
I could see lightbulbs popping as we chatted over coffee.

“It’s built my confidence, taught me to plan my wardrobe, shown me that it’s ok to be me and let my personality out.”
It was a few weeks later when Plan B came in.
The situation was one of those ‘what does this make possible?’ times.
We successfully carried out the rest of her package over the next few months by using Zoom.
“It’s built my confidence, taught me to plan my wardrobe, shown me that it’s ok to be me and let my personality out.”
Thankfully, it all worked out really well in the end.
It also inspired me to trial a new way of working. If it had worked for her it could work for others too…I set about scribbling ideas and putting a plan together.
And now, after trialling my ideas for the past year my 4 step system has had its very own makeover and I’m ready to launch my signature programme for 2021 and beyond!
I’m very proud of what I’ve created and genuinely feel that I have the ingredients that are a perfect blend for my clients; enabling me to offer a comprehensive service to suit different requirements.
So here I am, presenting to you my tried and tested Drab to FAB! 4 Step System for Personal Style & Image Confidence.
These 4 elements run through all of my work, and depending on how deep you want to go, will determine the right level for you to work through them.
Lisa Newport’s Drab to FAB! 4 Step System for Personal Style & Image Confidence
1: Style Speaks This step is about working out why you like what you like and WHAT your PERSONAL STYLE actually is.
When you have this bit sussed all of sudden it becomes clear why you have things in your wardrobe that you never wear and why that necklace that aunty Bridget bought you for your 40th birthday has never seen the light of day. You’ll be able to stop wrestling with those hangers in your wardrobe as you no longer compromise and have a streamlined wardrobe that makes you smile when you open it.
2: Colour Talks This step is about working out YOUR best colours to wear and how to put them together, so they truly ENHANCE your features.
When you have your colour, palette sorted you will save time and money because the items in your wardrobe will all coordinate beautifully, shopping becomes easier and more focused PLUS you’ll have a radiance about your skin and your eyes will sparkle. You’ll be leaving the boring black behind as you feel invigorated and excited to bring colour into your world.
3: Figure Flattering Style This step is where you learn about YOUR body type, shape and proportions so you can select styles that work with you rather than against your natural shape.
When you know about style guidelines it becomes obvious why that jacket has never looked right on you but looks amazing on your friend Karen. You will be able to quickly and easily filter out those less than confidence building clothes that really aren’t doing you any favours.
4: Lifestyle This step is where you begin to analyse HOW to make your wardrobe work for you in a practical way so that the contents are earning their keep.
When you start to look at your lifestyle needs and shop savvily to there’s no more buying for buying’s sake or having loads of nice going out clothes but nothing that lights you up for work. You’ll know where your wardrobe gaps are, and shop with focus, so that you end up buying fewer items but actually loving and wearing those that you’ve got.

So, you see by working with me, at whatever level, you’ll be able to stop the mindless rifling through the rails and scattergun approach to clothes shopping. No more wasting money on things you won’t wear. You’ll have a clear idea of what you like and why you like it, an insight to your personal style choices. You’ll buy fewer items, yet wear more of your wardrobe, become style savvy and enjoy expressing yourself.
All this, on top of gaining CONFIDENCE that could then open up the doors to so much other stuff in your life- how exciting!
