May I thank you on behalf of the Lions Club of Christchurch Host for presenting a truly wonderful fashion show last thursday evening. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and I have been overwhelmed with lovely comments from members and friends. Your are so obviously an expert in your field, and we all went away wiser in our knowledge of how to shop for our personal wardrobe.
Beverley Hentschel, President, Lions Club of Christchurch Host
I just wanted to drop a line to say a big thank you for the time we spent 'shopping'. the wonderful feeling that surrounds me each time I open my wardrobe door is more than amazing - it is heartwarming and all encompassing!
Your 'system' works - my purhases blend with each other and I am slowly 'getting it'! Thanks so much.
H Harrowfield, Catering Manager
After a long day of education and discussion, Chryssie’s relaxed and fun approach was just what we needed. Her presentation was very professional and extremely informative. Everyone came away with a clear message about the different styles of dress that exist and ideas of how to make their chosen or preferred style work for them.
Colleen McKay, Manager, Outreach Services, Haemophilia Foundation of
After Gastric By-Pass Surgery and after losing 95 kilos, I was lost and trying to find my own new style – I wanted to look great, and to celebrate the new me, but I had absolutely no idea what colours to wear, what shape I was now that I was no longer an apple, what looked good on me, and what didn’t. Chryssie showed me a new way to shop, she encouraged me to wear the bright colours that really suit me and showed me style tricks to make the most of the good bits that I have now and to disguise the saggy bits that are still there!!! Thanks Chryssie. I get so many comments now when I have chosen wisely when shopping for clothes”.

I have literaly not stopped raving about the course since Saturday! Truly! Staight afterward I did the wardrobe throw out and then purchased some new big ticket items and am planning (as per the workbook) my first shopping day this weekend.
Interestingly I have only a small amount of clothes left now since my wardrobe sort, but have never received more compliments on the ones I am wearing! Knowing how to co-ordinate my oufits has been a huge insight.

"Your obvious energy and ethusiasm was an ideal match for the two-day Summit. I'm sure the participants will long remember their clothing personality, and use their new found skills when shopping to update their wardrobe."

"My wardrobe has gone from a 'fruit salad' to a smaller workable one, where everything goes together. I find that getting dressed in the morning is now a pleasure."
Mary Obele

"I save time when shopping, as I now have a clear focus and only look at what is right for me, not what is in fashion. Also I do not allow shop assistants to influence by buying decision".
Gayle Clarke

"I am enjoying reading your book. The structure is good and it's a pleasure to read. Plus I'm learning new things,I particularly found the personality section interesting. It's amazing how often we go shopping with a friend and adopt their personality in clothing choice."
Lynn O'Shea

"I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your session on the 10th. I was somewhat amazed at how I came to admit to myself the style of clothing that I love, I never really wear. It has given me the confidence to just do it. So I did some shopping on Thursday night and had a good wee spend up. Just a few things - one jacket in particular that I have had som nay comments every time I wear, a feminine scarf and a couple of tops. I will slowy add to this collection".
Alison Smith
University Adminstrator
Hi Chryssie, this week I started a piece of teaching work that was fairly challenging .....BUT I was totally confident in what I was wearing - which was a change from other scary presentations when not only have I worried about my resentation but also my apearance. I seem to have 'got it' thanks to your guidance.

I am in the corporate world now, but never learnt how to shop. Only purchasing clothes when I am desperate and never know what goes with what, sometimes they would sit in my wardrobe hardly been worn. I have positively lost sleep over what I am going to wear at a conference etc, and at times would rather not be invited to go somewhere as knowing what to wear would be such an an issue!!
Chryssie has given me the confidence to shop effectively - using her principles of dressing, and knowing what 'look' I am wanting to achieve, makes it so easy. I know I will successfully create a wardrobe that works without spending the family fortune on myself. My first purchase was a fabulous skirt, which gave a compliment from ny husband which he has not done for a long time, interestingly enough this skirt was worn with a pair of shoes that were about to go to the opp shop along with a top that has hardly been worn. I feel great in this oufit. Thank you so much.

Hello chryssie, I wanted to say thank you very much for the shopping trip last saturday. As always, I learnt a liittle bit more, and fond some more shops worth adding to my list! My greatest compliment was a shop assistant asking me if I had clients I was taking around also!! So I must be learning!
Brenda Neill
"Thank you for a most enjoyable day. For once I returned home without the 'buyers remorse' thoughts like "why is this not quite right for me". Count me in for your next Mystery Shopping day.
