Teresa Wood

I am a Professional Stylist with a passion for helping women discover themselves through fashion and style to express who they are on the inside:

“Style is more than what you wear, it’s about telling your story”

I am a strong believer that style is achievable for everyone regardless of age, size, status or lifestyle. There are no rules or restrictions except for the ones we place on ourselves.

I particularly enjoy working with women over 40 to help them embrace their own style and feel visible, confident, and empowered.

For me, fashion is a passion that has developed and grown over many years which ultimately led me to becoming a stylist. I am inspired by the many aspects of styling and fashion, from the freedom it allows people to express themselves, to the beauty and creativity it provides, and how it can transform a person’s confidence and personal well-being.

I can help you cut through the noise and confusion of shopping and provide you with the guidance and knowledge to choose and wear clothes that flatter your body shape to help you feel great about yourself and your outfit choices, for every occasion. It’s about helping you to shop with confidence rather than stress.

Having developed my own style over many years, I have personal insight into understanding and identifying with the many style issues women face, especially as we age and experience changes in our body shape and self-confidence. As a mature age stylist, I have helped many older women with their style needs and know firsthand how social pressures and self- judgement can influence what we wear and how we look.

Describe my style:

Eclectic, Creative , Classic, Minimal I would describe my style as modern classic with a bit of edge. My outfits are inspired by my moods and mixing timeless classic pieces and fashion pieces with detail, that gives an outfit a point of difference. I am just as happy dressing up or dressing down. I have a love for layering textures and wearing high/low fashion - mixing classic pieces with basic pieces and accessories and making the style my own. Rather than follow trends I like to draw my ideas and inspiration from current and past trends and everyday street style.

3 fast facts about me:

1. I’m a homebody at heart but love to travel.

2. I am a lover of art, nature, animals, photography, and architecture.

3. I believe age is no barrier to style or achieving anything else you want.
