If you read my recent post, When life gives you lemons, you will know that I have had some on and off issues with my internet connection over the past month. This is precisely why it has taken me such an incredibly long time to write this post, but earlier this month I set off to Topshop with Bec from Frocks and Crumpets and our friend Jayne, for an afternoon of Personal Shopping.
For those of you who may not have heard about it before… Topshop/Topman offer an amazing (and complimentary) Personal Shopping service for both men and women.
After making an appointment, we were sent a quick and simple email questionnaire asking for details, such as our likes, dislikes, style icons, sizes etc, which gave the Topshop peeps some insight on what we might be looking for.
On arrival we were met with our own individual rails of clothing to try on, specifically picked to our styles, needs, likes and dislikes etc. Our looks were pulled by the gorgeous, lovely and stylish Yianni, (who is a close friend of mine, and pretty much one of the few men I trust enough to choose clothes for me). Whilst we sipped on cider and ate delicious little “LiLT” cupcakes made by Box Brownies , Yianni run us through each look, giving us ideas on styling, mixing and matching and set us off on our merry way to play dress ups in the spacious changing rooms.
We had a ton of laughs, there were some spot on hits, and some pretty hilarious misses, but what was really great about it was the opportunity to step outside the comfort zone and try on some pieces which I would not normally go for (like the lacy skirt which I’m dying to wear).
There is absolutely no pressure to buy, and they also offer the service for the dudes (served with beer, brownies and x-box). So if you’re looking for a bit of a change in your shopping experience, a different take on “your style”, or some help build your wardrobe, definitely give the Topshop team a go. xo Luci
