I would love to welcome you to Image Matters!

It might be your first visit or, you have rediscovered me! I am still out there helping women of 40 plus discover the joy of dressing well. I have had the privilege of dressing 1,000’s of women and a few 100 men over nearly 30 years.

Clothing and colour is an expression of how we are outwardly feeling

Image Matters - Wardrobe planning

Prior to my image consultancy training, I was in the beauty industry. I trained with Colour Me Beautiful, the market leaders in colours and style training in 1996, winning numerous awards through the years with them. I have always appreciated how important psychologically it is to feel good about yourself and the confidence that brings.

Clothing and colour is an expression of how we are outwardly feeling and it tells me a lot about an individual from the way they dress and the colours they choose to use, or not! These observations help me to understand you very quickly and allows me to seek out clothing that will bring you joy and confidence. 

I have been extremely privileged to assist many individuals at the start of their journey, back to joy and confidence from separation, divorce, severe illness, depression and many a tear has been shed as we gradually rebuild you! This has resulted in many lovely testimonials and referrals throughout the years. However, it isn’t all gloom and doom! Many come to me with happy life changing events, a new job, promotion, marriage, a significant anniversary or birthday.

Whatever your reason for being here, I look forward to having a chat about how I can help you regain yourself esteem and rediscover ‘the joy of dressing well’, in your life.

How can I help?

  • "Jane transformed my image with an in-depth examination of my life, hobbies and aims. It wasn’t just about clothes as it went on to inspire me and change my direction in so many aspects of my life. Don’t underestimate the impact she will have!"

    Rosemary Verlander-Smith

  • "Jane has a great talent for finding the right clothes for you - picking the colours that really suit you and is always there to give helpful advice when you need it."

    Diane Butler

  • "Jane worked with me during a time when I decided I wanted to feel good in clothes and experiment with colour. I didn’t feel particularly confident choosing and it took me a long time to decide what to wear. After working with Jane I have seen the benefit not only personally boosting my confidence but professionally too."

    Danielle Daykin

  • "When you meet Jane, it’s like shopping with a friend…. Jane just ‘gets’ what you need, and can pick out what works for you with ease. Jane has such a friendly, informal, no pressure approach that makes shopping fun. I love what I’ve bought and get lots of compliments when I wear them!"

    Helen Shelswell

  • "Jane knows exactly what you like and also knows what suits you. On top of that she remembers what size you are! She is proactive in suggesting things and has great customer service."
