Imogen Lamport AICI CIP created

Bespoke Image with a clear mission
– to help people look amazing every
day without stress and confusion.

As a former publicist for Penguin

Books Australia, Imogen worked
with many successful people. She
became fascinated by the issue of
image. Was there a connection
between image and confidence?
How important was image to
success? Could she help someone
improve their image to gain greater
success?

After having children, she decided to leave the corporate world to pursue her true
passion as an image consultant. She studied style and image in depth and learned
what looked good on different body types. She studied colour analysis and realized
how to help people shine with the right colours and contrast. She has been able to
combine her natural talents with extensive knowledge and a scientific approach to
understanding the how and why of style to figure out what works and why. She has
spent well over a decade helping people to look and feel amazing.

In 2004, Imogen started her own business, Bespoke Image. In 2006, her dedication
led her to become President of the AICI (Association of Image Consultants
International) Australian chapter. She worked tirelessly to raise the industry’s
standards of training and professionalism, bringing the AICI’s Certified Image
Consultant exam to Australia. In 2007, Imogen was honoured as Chapter Member of
the Year, and later, as VP of Communications, she created the chapter’s first website
and helped the organization grow substantially. She also spent 4 years (2012-2016)
on the International Board of the AICI as VP Business Development.

In 2009, Imogen was awarded the Certified Image Professional certificate from the
AICI, an achievement that acknowledges a highly competent level of training and
experience. She is proud to be one of only eight in Australia to have reached this
level. In 2019 Imogen was awarded the AICI’s highest award, the Jane Segerstrom
Award, for her innovation in the industry and actively supporting and promoting a
positive image in our society.

Imogen trains image consultants through the Academy of Professional Image in

Melbourne and has developed the worldleading Absolute Colour System of 18 colour
directions... Her successful blog, Inside Out Style, offers valuable information and
tips, and attracts readers from around the world who appreciate her ability to help
them find their style through her online program 7 Steps to Style.

Her work with her clients that gives Imogen a lot of pleasure. Through workshops,
corporate events, media appearances, online programs colour consultations, and
personal shopping services, she shares her considerable knowledge with everyone
from stay-at-home moms to corporate executives. Imogen wants to help you get
dressed, get out the door, and get on with life.

 Introduction
Read the latest fashion magazine and you’ll be told that you must update your
wardrobe with the latest looks. This advice will get very expensive very quickly.

But you know that you need to update your wardrobe to keep yourself current
and modern rather than let your look become frumpy and old-fashioned. So how
do you balance your budget whilst remaining stylish and youthful?

I’m not necessarily advocating buying the cheapest clothes or accessories. Cheap
isn’t necessarily budget friendly. In fact, I’ve seen more wastage in wardrobes
where many cheap items are bought, but they never satisfy their owner and
don’t serve the purpose they were bought for. Instead I’m advocating being
considered. Sure, your budget will come into the equation, but we need to
consider how much value you’ll get from the item before deciding whether it’s a
cheap or expensive item in your closet.

It’s often cheaper to buy better quality that lasts longer, than buying poor quality
garments that are badly constructed and quickly fall apart or pill, sag and bag.
It’s also way more environmentally friendly to do so too

Introduction

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 06
Five Step Formula to Creating a
Fabulous Wardrobe on a Budget
1. Know what you have

2. Know your current lifestyle needs

3. Know who you are

4. Know what you need

5. Know how and where to shop

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 07
 1. Know What You Have

The first thing you need to do is assess your wardrobe. What do you already own? I
can’t tell you how many times I’ve done a wardrobe audit for a client and found
multiples of the same garments. Very frequently my client will say “Oh I forgot I had
that” as we pull one more black cardigan from the back of a drawer. Nobody needs
20 pairs of black trousers or 10 white shirts (unless that is all you wear).

What I notice is that often those with multiples of the same garments feel they have
a lot of clothes but nothing to wear (or are bored with their wardrobe) as they are
wearing the same or very similar clothes over and over again. Instead of having
invested in different clothes they’ve blown their budget on more of the same.

1. Go through your wardrobe, pull everything

(and I mean everything out).

2. Go through each garment and assess it on these criteria:

a. Does it still fit, or can it easily be altered to fit?
b. Is it in good condition?
c. Is it still fashionable?
d. Does it work with your current age and lifestyle?
e. Do you love it?
f. Does it flatter your body?
g. Does it flatter your colouring?

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 08
3. Donate the clothes that fall short.
There is no point keeping a garment that no longer serves its purpose.

4. Categorize your wardrobe.

Keep the same sorts of clothes together such as skirts with skirts, trousers with
trousers, tops with tops. Depending on the layout of your wardrobe this will vary
from person to person.

5. Colourise your wardrobe

From white via the rainbow to black, sort your clothes in their categories. You
will find when you’re looking to create capsules later, that this step really
speeds up the process of seeing clearly what you have and what you need.

6. Hang your wardrobe.

The more clothes that you have hanging where you can see them, the more will
be worn and not forgotten. It’s very easy to forget the tops stuffed at the back of
a drawer or cupboard. Get hangers that are all the same so that everything
hangs evenly and cleanly. This is your boutique, make it beautiful and inspiring.

7. Clean out your shoes.

You don’t want to ruin your fabulous look with shoes that have been worn to
death. Go through the same criteria as you did for step 2. When looking at your
shoes.

8. Donate the rest.

Clearing the clutter will make it so much easier to have a fabulous wardrobe
that works for you. Plus, it helps you think more clearly

Now get out your camera or phone app and take photos of what you have left to work
with. You need this inventory to create a catalogue of your wardrobe. This will be a
great reminder when you’re out in the shops.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 09
 2. Know Your Current Lifestyle Needs
How do you spend your time? What you do affects the kinds of clothes you need in
your wardrobe. Are you a stay at home mother? A company director? A part-time
office worker? A nurse? Teacher? Lawyer? Designer? You won’t spend all your time
doing just one activity either. Now it’s time to assess your life. How do you spend
your time?

Your average week looks like

Roles (eg. Mother, Teacher, Activities
Rock Climber etc.) (eg. Cooking, Meetings, Parties)

Week __ 01

02

03

Week __ 01

02

03

Week __ 01

02

03

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 10
Now that you have a clearer picture of how you spend your time, think about how
much time is spent doing each role and activity.

Then write down the percentages of time you spend in each sort of dress:

Percentage of Time Spent in Various Clothing Categories

1. Traditional Business ______________% Suits, collared

shirts, hose, classic shoes etc.

2. Smart Business ______________% Pants, skirts,

jackets, good quality knit tops, twin sets etc.

3. Relaxed Business ______________% Trousers or

skirts with knits – less formal, still smart.

4. Smart Casual ______________% Trousers or skirts,

interesting jackets, cardigans, jumpers, tops, dress jeans.

5. Casual ______________% Jeans, tracksuits, sneakers,

loafers, t-shirts etc.

6. Renowear ____________% Gardening, renovating,

painting

7. Hobby wear ______________% Specialist hobby

clothes

8. Special Occasion ______________% Weddings,

events, racewear, formal parties etc.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM
 Special Instructions
Go back to your wardrobe and compare the percentages. If you spend
50% of your time in Smart Business clothes, then 50% of your
wardrobe needs to fall into that category. Think about where you
struggle to find the right outfit (on which occasions and situations do
you have a hardest time finding the clothes to wear). These are your
wardrobe gaps and where you need to focus your shopping.

01. Write down the areas where you struggle:

02. Write down where you have a much higher percentage of

clothes than your lifestyle requires:

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 12
 3. Know Who You Are

To ensure that the clothes and accessories you buy are not a waste of
money you really need to know what your personal style is today not what
it was 5 or 10 years ago.

So, what first steps can you do to reveal your personal style? First, go grab
a notepad and pen and some magazines or catalogues.

1.What do you like and dislike

Now write a list of all the things you like about clothes, and then a list of
everything you actively dislike, e.g. I like detail, I hate stuff that is completely
plain, I like beading, I hate frills and flounces, I like comfortable, I hate
constricting etc. Write as many of these likes and dislikes as you can. Often it’s
easier to think of what we dislike first. Write down everything, it’s all valid.

2. Start pulling pictures out of magazines or source them off

the internet
Look for clothing that you love the look of – don’t worry if you don’t think it will
suit your body shape or your size, that is irrelevant at this stage.

3. Write a list of words (minimum 6 words) that reflect how

you’d like to be perceived by others
These should relate to how you are as a person e.g. approachable, friendly,
professional, successful, elegant, stylish, creative, avant-garde, bold, feminine,
calm, down-to-earth, warm, polished, funky, etc.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 13
 4. Take out 4-5 favourite garments from your wardrobe
Write down what you like about them (e.g. their colour, shape, fit, feel, fabric
etc). Then write down how they make you feel and look when wearing (e.g.
smart, different, stylish, slim, tall, successful, versatile etc.). Do you notice a
pattern? Are all your favourite clothes comfortable? Are they all different or a
little creative? Do they all have a feminine waisted shape? Are they versatile –
you can dress them up or down? It’s really important to discover what works for
you in your life and with your personality, then you can replicate this success.

5. Collect some more pictures that represent the words you

wrote in no. 3

6. Apply the words you chose in the last step to each picture.
Write down your Style Words – these are the words that sum up you, the ones
that really excite you.

Here are four examples of tunics with jeans, but each has a very different
personality style:

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 14
 4. Know what you need
Now you have a picture of how you spend your time, and your wardrobe
requirements, plus you know what you currently have in your wardrobe, it’s time to
start creating wardrobe capsules and figuring out what you really need.

What are wardrobe capsules? They are a collection of garments – around 6 -12
garments that can all be worn together and mixed and matched. These few
garments will create a myriad of outfits and will help you create a fabulous
wardrobe on a budget

In a wardrobe capsule you may have:

a. Skirt
b. Dress
c. Pants
d. Tops
e. Jacket
f. Cardigan
g. Jeans
h. Shirt

Each garment needs to work with the others. Pick 1 or 2 neutrals and 1 or 2 colours
that all work together and create a variety of outfits using these capsule pieces.

It’s time to head back to your wardrobe with your Style Words at hand. Go through
the clothes you have left, pull them out, try them on start creating outfits that shout
your style words. You may find that you can create two or three outfits but maybe
you need a jacket or cardigan to go over the top of that dress, write down these
garments that are the missing links to your fabulous wardrobe. You might find that
you have the basics but are missing the accessories that will finish off your outfits.

We don’t go to the supermarket without a shopping list, nor should we got clothes
shopping without a list, that’s how we end up with multiples of the same garments
and a wardrobe that still doesn’t work for us.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 15
Once you have shopped your own wardrobe you can then take your shopping list
and go shopping, but not before then. Shopping your wardrobe forces you to be
more creative with your clothes.

Can you layer a long sleeve top under a sleeveless summer dress and wear it in
winter?

Can you layer a couple of fine wool knits rather than add another cardigan or
jacket?

Can you create accessories groupings in colours to wear with neutral outfits to
make it look like you’ve got a different outfit on?

Let your creative juices flow, try a whole lot of outfits on, yes some won’t work, but
you’ll discover that some do and look great and you’ve not spent a cent (surely a
great thing for your budget). Don’t forget to try on the jewellery, scarves, shoes and
handbags too as they are icing on your cake.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 16
 Capsule Wardrobes
If your wardrobe looks something like this, it won’t work for you. These clothes are
all orphans. They look great by themselves but don’t work together.

If you have a wardrobe that looks like this you may have lots of clothes, but you don’t
have anything to wear. What to do? You’ll need to take the pieces you love the most
and create capsules around them.

For example, take the floral shirt top left and create a capsule surrounding it:

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 17
And easy 32 outfits in this capsule alone.
1. Red skirt, white top
2. Red skirt, white top, pink jacket
3. Red skirt, white top, green cardigan
4. Red skirt, red top,
5. Red skirt, red, top, pink jacket
6. Red skirt, floral top
7. Red skirt, floral top pink jacket
8. Red skirt, floral top, green cardigan
9. Red skirt, white top, floral top
10. Red skirt, red top, floral top
11. White pants, white top, pink jacket
12. White pants, white top, green cardigan
13. White pants, white top, floral shirt
14. White pants, red top
15. White pants, red top floral top
16. White pants, red top, pink jacket
17. Jeans, white top
18. Jeans, red top
19. Jeans, floral top
20. Jeans, white top, green cardigan
21. Jeans, floral top, green cardigan
22. Jeans, white top, floral shirt, pink jacket 23.
Jeans red top, floral shirt, pink jacket
24. Jeans red top, floral shirt, green cardigan
25. Blue dress pink jacket
26. Blue dress, green cardigan
27. Blue dress, white top
28. Blue dress, red top
29. Blue dress, jeans, red top
30. Blue dress, jeans, white top
31. Blue dress, jeans, pink jacket
32. Blue dress, jeans, green cardigan
33. Etc.

And don’t forget your accessories. A couple of

different coloured scarves and shoes can
change the look of your outfits again.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 18
 Now, let’s take another garment from our mismatched wardrobe and expand that
into a capsule. Take the black and white jacket, also include the red skirt, jeans, white
and red tops and white pants from the first capsule and add black pants and a black
skirt, red dress and teal top. Another 32+ outfits in this capsule

Now take the teal and turquoise skirt from the mismatched wardrobe, and include
the pink jacket, the jeans and the white pants from the first capsule, teal top from the
second capsule, add in a teal floral top, white cardigan, and the navy and turquoise
top and navy jacket for a smart casual capsule.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 19
Taking the soft peach silk shirt from our original wardrobe and the black pants and
black skirt from the second set, we’ve added in a sequin trim cardigan and black
dress, and of course, don’t forget an evening clutch. Here are 9 outfits to wear out to
more formal events.

Overall, we’ve added 19 garments and with those including our original 3 garments
that we loved from our original wardrobe we’ve created 100+ outfits without
breaking a sweat!

Hopefully you’ll discover at least a few of these 19 extra garments already in your
wardrobe when you start looking carefully, what is not there are your holes that you
will need to put on your list.

There are even more mix and match options mixing up elements from each of these
capsules as you can imagine (e.g. the white cardigan in the third capsule could also
be included in the other capsules). This is the basis for creating capsules in your
wardrobe to give you multiple outfit options.

You will find you need different capsules for different aspects of your life. Try and
create at least one capsule for each of your Roles (that you wrote down in Step 2).

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 20
For those roles that take up a larger percentage of your time, then you’ll need 2, 3 or
4 capsules to give you more variety. It’s better to have 2 great capsules than 4 that
don’t work so well.

Ensure that each garment you keep and use in a capsule is a great colour and style.
There is no point creating capsules with clothes you don’t really love and that don’t
flatter you or fit your lifestyle. If you’re not sure what suits you think about investing
in an image consultation to help you find out what really suits you today.

As you’re creating your capsules, take photos of each of the outfits, or use one of
those new phone apps so that you have an easy reference guide so that you can
quickly figure out what you’re going to wear of a morning and know that you look
great.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 21
 5. Know How and Where to Shop

You’ve now shopped your wardrobe, created the capsules you can, but you’ve
probably discovered some holes that need to be filled to really make your wardrobe
work for you.

Because you’ve done all this great homework, your shopping will now be carefully
planned and analytical rather than emotional and unfocussed. This is great, your
chance of wasting money has been reduced astronomically.

Budget
Before you take your list shopping, you need to decide on your budget.

How much should you spend? That question is very difficult to answer, but no more
than 5- 10% of your annual income. The higher you are up the career ladder, the
higher the quality of garment you need to purchase, but these should also last longer
and you’ll get better cost per wear for each garment.

Look at all your other costs of living and allocate a budget to your wardrobe. You have
to start thinking about your wardrobe as an investment rather than a cost and invest
wisely. The clothes you wear and image you project can really help you achieve your
career and life goals. Don’t underestimate the power of your clothes, but don’t
overspend and go into lots of debt. Clothes wear out and go out of fashion, so you
don’t want to overcapitalise on your wardrobe either.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 22
Now split your annual budget up into seasons. Depending on the part of the world you
live in you may need to split your budget into two or three portions to cover the
seasons Summer, Winter, Spring/Autumn. If you live in a climate that has a long winter
and short summer, put more of your budget toward your winter wardrobe.

It’s unlikely in one shopping trip you’ll find clothes for seasons other than the one
you’re currently in and the next. So put aside some of your money for a shopping trip
in another few months’ time when the seasons and store stock has changed.

Where to Shop
Now it’s time to do some research. If you look at the pictures you pulled in Step 2,
were there any that came from local shops or labels that you can easily find?

Maybe you need to go online and go through the websites of your local stores. Most
chain stores have their garments on the web these days. This is a great way to look at
the shapes and styles of clothing to see which shops are most likely to work for you
and what you need.

Don’t mind spending time searching? Think about thrift shops, outlet shops, discount
designer stores, swap markets, eBay...

When to Shop
Try and avoid peak shopping times such as a Saturday afternoon. Instead, if you can
go shopping when it’s quiet in stores (my favourite time and day is a Tuesday morning,
it’s known as retail dead time). That way you get the regular staff (not the weekend
casuals) and you get all the attention you desire.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 23
 Check out the stores catalogues, they usually advertise sales a week before it starts,
find out when the clothes you want to buy will be reduced.

Ask local boutiques to put you on their list to contact you when they have a sale.

Try factory outlet stores, these days with the quick turnover of fashion you’ll find that
outlet stores have very recent stock in them.

Know what to splurge on and what to save on. Which fashions will last longest, and
which will be gone in a short period of time? The more extreme the fashion, the
shorter time it will be around, so if you really want a little bit of a trend, go for it, but
buy cheap in a store like Target.

What to Buy
Look at the care label before you buy. If it’s dry clean only, stay away, you’ll be blowing
your budget on upkeep, or you won’t wear the garment because you know it must be
dry cleaned, and that’s just going to be waste sitting in your wardrobe.

Garments that are more classic or creative will last longer. The classic will last because
they don’t change so much year to year. The creative because they’re a bit outside of
fashion, not ‘in’ so not ‘out’ in a short period of time. Garments like trench coats and
straight skirts will stay in fashion way longer and are more budget friendly than cape
coats and gypsy skirts.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 24
 Obvious patterns can also date a garment (unless it’s a
classic print like stripes, checks, animal prints). Florals are
always around but change markedly from year to year.
Neutrals will last longer, spend more money on them as
people notice the garment less, so you can get more wear
out of it. This is why we love our black pants, or denim jeans.
We can wear them day in, day out and nobody notices we’re
wearing the same garment over and over.

Try and find fabrics that can work through multiple seasons.
This will get you more wear over a longer period rather than
fabrics that are obviously either very light or very heavy
(though you may find you need a few garments that fulfil
these criteria).

Look for high quality garments, good construction, great

fabrics. This will help your garments last longer and be
better on your budget in the long run.

Only buy shoes that can be improved. These are man-made

materials, once they’re scratched or scuffed, can’t be
polished and improved. Sure, they’re cheaper than leather
to start with, but in the long run you will have to throw them
out much more frequently which is not good for either your
budget or the environment.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 25
Splurge on
Look at the care label before you buy. If it’s dry clean only, stay away, you’ll be blowing
your budget on upkeep, or you won’t wear the garment because you know it must be
dry cleaned, and that’s just going to be waste sitting in your wardrobe.

Quality jackets and pants in great neutral colours that work with your existing
wardrobe

A great bra or two. Foundations matter, a great bra will make your waist look
slimmer.
Good quality stylish shoes and boots that you find comfortable to wear for
years to come.

A trench coat that you’ll wear season after season, year after year.

Signature items. Do you always wear belts? Get the best quality you can find.
Known for your animal prints? Don’t buy ones that look cheap.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 26
Save on
Costume jewellery. There are so many great places you can get costume
jewellery these days for little. Jewellery can add interest and detail and focal
points to your outfit and is important, but no need to buy everything in solid
gold and diamonds!

The latest fashion trends. Yes, sometimes it’s great to update your wardrobe
with a new piece that is of the moment, but don’t spend too much, these
garments won’t be the ones you’re wearing in a few year’s time

Patterned items. We get sick of patterns more quickly than solid colours,
plus they go out of fashion faster. So, don’t blow your budget on a patterned
garments, the only exception to this is if it’s a classic pattern such as stripes
or animal print (and that’s one of your signature prints).

T-shirts that quickly can stretch out of shape or become discoloured.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 27
Some Final Tips
Alterations
Fix and alter what you have first rather than spending money on new.
Often changing the buttons on a garment will give it a new and higher
quality appearance. Get rid of those cheap plastic buttons and replace
them with a higher quality button and your garment will get a new lease
of life.

One of my favourite fixes for a knit top sleeve that is too long, rather
than take it to a tailor, I just run some stitches up the seam and pull a
little to create a small gather, that shortens the sleeves. You can also do
the same on the body of the knit top by creating ruches that go up the
side seams if the top is too long.

Get yourself a lint shaver and regularly go over your knits. Particularly
around the under arm and sleeve areas which tend to gather pills quickly
because of the friction of your arms rubbing against your body. This will
keep knits looking fresher much longer.

If you find that the waist band on skirts and trousers gapes, take your
garment to an alterations person, this is easily fixed and when it fits well
you’ll love wearing it a whole lot more.

One of the most common issues with fit is too long sleeves. Overly long
sleeves will make the whole garment look too big. Get your jacket sleeves
taken up by a professional so that it’s beautifully done, and you’ll find
that the jacket looks a whole lot better on.

Repair
Get your shoes repaired – new soles and heels on shoes plus some polish
will bring shoes back to life.

Boots are an investment piece. Regularly polish them and resole every few
years. You’ll easily get a decade out of them if you look after them.

WWW.INSIDEOUTSTYLEBLOG.COM 28
 Don’t Forget Your List The most important budget friendly shopping tip is to stick to
your list. Not buying for emotional reasons (and this includes
boredom) will really help to keep your budget under control.
When you know what you have and what you need. When you
understand your style words and what suits you, then it’s so
much easier to say no to all the garments that don’t work for you
and keep on searching til you find those pieces that are just right
for you and fill your wardrobe needs.
