All About Wink
A little bit about me and what Wink to the Wardrobe is all about
Hi, I'm Karen
a Personal stylist and founder and owner of ‘Wink to the Wardrobe’, an online boutique with a difference!
I’ve have always loved styling, so much so, I turned my experience working in women’s glossy magazines and photo shoots, into a midlife career, retraining and qualifying as a Personal Stylist. Getting to know my clients, understanding their individual needs and being able to offer tailored advice, I discovered I love helping women boost their style confidence and rediscover their fashion mojo when life has taken over.
It started with a Wink...
In 2018, I started @winktothewardrobe to create a community and a place to share my styling tips and then in 2023, at the age of 59 yrs, I took the plunge and launched ‘Wink to the Wardrobe’, an online boutique with individual styling advice. Each season, I personally select key pieces from independent designers and labels for their quality, affordability, wearability and of course style. I’m also always looking out for pieces which are a little bit different, and in some cases items that you are unlikely to have seen before, and strongly consider how the clothes might work together in different combinations, maximising their potential.
