Personal Shopping - Personal style coach in Rotterdam, color analysis, wardrobe and shopping services

Personal Shopping Rotterdam

Are you feeling unhappy every time you get dressed, because you have so little outfits that you really feel good in? Is shopping something that slightly stresses you out, or you just simply have so little time for it?

After we worked together, your mornings will start with a completely different mood! You will experience that having zero outfit stress and a great outfit will bring so much energy and ease in your day. It is not just a nice outfit, it will be your secret super power!

Marianne did my styling and summer wardrobe shopping. Even though I’m good with colors, she showed me styles, fabrics and patterns I would have never tried on, let alone buy. Our every experience was great especially for someone who hates shopping like me. She truly gets to know what your likes are, your hesitations about colors and your body shape, your ideas about fashion vs. clothing. She has a color wheel, which is expansive so she really breaks down your exact tone and colors! She hears what you say about how you want your clothing to represent your individual personality (or not😉). She dives into what you would like to achieve from different perspectives. (Eg: for me it was representing who I was as a career woman, mum, artist). I absolutely recommend Marianne

Marianne worked with me, to get clear on the colours and shapes that work best for me. When shopping she picked items I would never have found without her. During the shopping it was so easy for me, I just had to feel if it was a yes or a no. I know what I like when I wear it. But I needed Mariannes guidance with colours and shape. We also worked on outfits and creating a capsule wardrobe. This worked out so well together with the shopping part. I did not miss a thing, and did not feel the urge to go shopping for something new what so ever. I also bought a special events dress with her, that i completely adore. Truly such a good investement to book Marianne. Just go for it and get to know her and her working method!

I had the pleasure of planning my maternity wear with Marianne. In several sessions, I not only learned which colors and shapes flatter my type and figure. I now also have a concentrated selection of dresses that I actually wear every week and enjoy trying out new combinations all the time. What I liked best was the personal shopping experience. Marianne got a great picture of my style and mocked up the right brands and stores ahead of time. So the personal shopping day was very efficient and I wish I always had my personal shopping coach with me who not only brings me the right pieces to the dressing room and guides me to the right stores but also gives honest and valuable feedback on fit and style.

You have less then 7 bottoms (skirts/jeans/shorts) in your closet that you really like. You wear your favourite jeans non stop, due to the lack of other options.
The last time you went shopping in a store was more than a half year ago. It was not as effective and enjoyable as hoped.
You don't like it, the shopping, it is confronting, time consuming and exhausting. And then all this effort and not finding something you love. Really?!
In the morning you grab your usual outfit formula. Which is now getting outworn. And actually you would like to look a bit nicer, just for yourself.
You have plenty of painting, gardening or cleaning outfits. But for a bit more dressy events, you are limited in your options.

How would it be if?

You only have items in your wardrobe that you like, wear and know how to combine.
You would even enjoy shopping, because you go to the right shops, know what to look for and you can discuss with me on whether or not to choose an item.
You have clothes for different occasions in your wardrobe again! Hurray!
You experience joy when opening your wardrobe in the morning. Or when packing your bags for a trip.
You are relieved that the dreaded task of shopping now is finally resolved and you don't have to think about that anymore. Hello energy!

When you go personal shopping in Rotterdam with me:

You will have a dedicated guide for finding items that fit your style, life and appearance. It is me 🙂
You will gain insight in what suits you and how to find it. You will get to know new shops, and learn how to prepare best for shopping.
You will experience overview when getting dressed in the morning. There are some great items to wear, which makes it so much more enjoyable and relaxed.
You get a better idea on how to shop and create a functional wardrobe.
You feel content with your wardrobe and looks again. Hello new super power and hello new energy, because truly outfit stress is draining!

In short: We will shop new items that makes you smile, you can combine easily, and are a great addition to your wardrobe. Finally something nice to wear again!

What does a personal shopping session look like?

We first get clear on you; What do you like? What is your lifestyle and what are your wardrobe needs?

To build a functional wardrobe, it’s essential to consider your values. Your wardrobe should align with what matters to you and reflect your personality . We will have a style consultation and I provide you with some exercises to get clear on your desired wardrobe.

When we agreed on the style and the shopping list ( for example a nice dress for work and some more casual outfits for at home), I will go pre-shopping in Rotterdam for you. Based on your style and appearance I select several shops, and check out their collection. I make pictures of the items I think would be nice to try on.

When we meet for shopping, we first have a coffee together to share out some more info. Then we go to the shops, we will take around 3 hours, and visit around 3 stores.

We will try on a lot of items – and I will give you tips on combinations too. When you like an item, it is up to you to decide whether you want to buy it.

After 1 week , I will check in with you to hear how you still like your purchases, and I can answer the styling and combination questions you might still have.

FAQ

How do I prepare MYSELF for the shopping session?

For yourself – put on some make up – and wear comfortable items that you like. You will be switching outfits a lot. So make sure you had enough to eat and drink before hand. Since we will be walking a lot, some comfortable shoes, like sneakers are great.

And make sure you have a small bottle of water and a muesli bar in your handbag.

Why do you charge more then other personal shoppers?

Fair enough, if you google around, you will find that there are personal shoppers that charge less for a shopping trip.

However – their approach is very different to mine. Some just show you some shops they like for you, to get to know the smaller boutiques. And they will help you on the spot with picking outfits for you or giving advise. Which is a great option too, if you are looking for a more low key experience.

What I do – I go pre-shopping for you at different locations in town. So I am sure I will only show you the best there is for your life, shape, likings, and what looks good on you. This make all the difference between an fun an good experience, between a transformative and perfect one! It is super effective and stress free for you, since we will be able to shop a larger selection at once.

How much money do I need for shopping?

This depends ofcourse on how much and what you need.

Around 400 to 800 would be a good range.

I normally do not shop at fast fashion brands.

Everyone can shop, why should I hire you?

After you got to know your best colours, know which style you like best and what works for you. And after you edited your wardrobe and created outfits.

This might be another question.

Why the hell would I invest in something everyone can do? For that money I can buy a lot of items myself.

And actually, it is not like that. Not everyone can shop. Well everyone can go to Zara and just buy some random stuff worth of 447 euro.

But would you like the items that your husband picked for you?

First of all – It takes a lot of time. So if you are working and a mom, this is what you have little, right?

Secondly – It takes a lot of energy. Especially if you do not know where to shop, and what to look for, it is exhausting. It will be such a tiresome process to go to the city and look for something new if you do not know where to start at first.

And my guess is that you rather have a nice lunch with a friend then to go through town to find the perfect items for your wardrobe. And then returning with 2 random shirts.

Third. You are unconsciously programmed to reach for the same items. Most heard comment after shopping with me is. I would never have picked this, let alone try it on, and now I just love it!!

So in my opinion, it is 100% worth it, but hey, I would not be able to sell it at all if it was otherwise 🙂

       I highly recommend Marianne! Her color analysis is eye-opening and she has a great eye for what looks best on people. When I had trouble matching favorite statement pieces, she suggested colors I never would have considered but look amazing and complete the look better than I could have figured out myself.

I appreciate that she also understands the roles of working in the corporate world, being an entrepreneur and being a mom - she understands the different roles we dress for and helps to develop a wardrobe that reflects our personalities AND fits the demands of each person's lifestyle. Very worth the investment, since she will save you time and $$ helping you to buy what you need and love instead of too many items that don't quite work. And to help streamline your current wardrobe and create outfits out of what you have.

      I went to Marianne for a colour analysis few weeks ago, because I always struggled with feeling "off" in most clothes and makeup colours but couldn't figure out why.

Marianne was very warm, welcoming and extremely competent. I told her about my issues with the colours and we categorised some clothes I brought with me to the seasons and then started with the draping.
I could clearly see the differences in my skin with each drape and got all my best colours in a palette to take with me.

The resulting palette was really surprising to me because my wardrobe colours were very different - which explains why I always felt so weird in my clothes.
In my palette I feel so much more confident because my skin looks a lot brighter and more even.
Also I noticed when shopping last time it went a lot faster because I wasn't in this indecisive situation whether to buy something that I now know doesn't suit me.

I can definitely recommend going to Marianne for the analysis ❤️

      I attended Marianne's Color & Style workshop last weekend and had a great time learning more about color theory. Marianne was lovely - highly skilled in color analysis/style coaching and supportive in responding to our questions and common challenges regarding our clothing/bodies/self-esteem. As an expat new to Germany, I also found it really helpful that Marianne was able to conduct the workshop in English.

      (German below) I did a wardrobe edit with Marianne. My wardrobe, like many others wardrobe, is full with things that I wear rarely. I wanted to have a wardrobe that is not very crowded but full with things that fit me nicely. With the wardrobe edit, we filtered out the things that do not fit me, she also showed me how I can combine some pieces that I bought but never knew how to wear. She found my body type, showed my tricks how to hide the parts I don’t like and highlight the parts I like. We also did a color session. Marianne helped me to find the color palette that fits me the best as well. Although I knew a couple of colors that suited me, she found many more that I never tried. It was also very useful to see the ones that do not fit me well at all. I will be able to avoid unnecessary purchases from now on. I will be now able to filter the things that don’t match me and moreover, it will be easier to create outfits since the pieces in my wardrobe will be in harmony. The color palette Marianne gives is much more detailed and tailored to the individual compared to what one will find on the internet websites. Also in the process, she taught me how to train my eye for finding the pieces that fit me, so I will do a much better job in shopping! I highly recommend Marianne!

Ich habe mit Marianne einen Wardrobe Edit gemacht. Mein Kleiderschrank ist, wie der vieler anderer, voll mit Dingen, die ich selten trage. Ich wollte einen Kleiderschrank haben, der nicht sehr voll ist, aber voll mit Dingen, die mir gut passen. Mit dem Wardrobe-Edit haben wir die Dinge herausgefiltert, die mir nicht passen, und sie hat mir auch gezeigt, wie ich einige Teile kombinieren kann, die ich gekauft habe, aber nie wusste, wie ich sie tragen soll. Sie fand meinen Körpertyp heraus und zeigte mir Tricks, wie ich die Teile, die ich nicht mag, verstecken und die Teile, die ich mag, betonen kann. Wir haben auch eine Farbsitzung gemacht. Marianne half mir auch dabei, die Farbpalette zu finden, die am besten zu mir passt. Obwohl ich schon einige Farben kannte, die zu mir passten, fand sie viele weitere, die ich nie ausprobiert hatte. Es war auch sehr hilfreich, die Farben zu sehen, die mir überhaupt nicht stehen. Von nun an werde ich unnötige Käufe vermeiden können. Ich kann jetzt die Dinge herausfiltern, die nicht zu mir passen, und außerdem wird es einfacher sein, Outfits zu kreieren, da die Teile in meinem Kleiderschrank miteinander harmonieren werden. Die Farbpalette, die Marianne vorschlägt, ist viel detaillierter und individueller als das, was man auf den Internetseiten findet. Außerdem hat sie mir beigebracht, wie ich mein Auge schulen kann, um die Teile zu finden, die zu mir passen, so dass ich jetzt viel besser einkaufen kann! Ich kann Marianne nur empfehlen!

      Doing a colour analysis with Marianne has been one of the best investments in myself I've ever done. In a personal and welcoming setting she uses various drapes to pick the colours that suit you best and explains why this is the case. The passport I've received after the analysis has been super useful, as I've already thrifted some pieces in my best colours for a recent holiday capsule and am now able to easily spot the colours in my season(s) in clothing stores. This makes shopping much more relaxing and fun, and it is great knowing which colours make me 'shine'. I highly recommend choosing Marianne for a colour analysis!

      I recently had a color analysis session with Marie and it was truly enlightening. She expertly assessed my undertones and  created a personalised palette for me that complements my features. I left happy and confident that whatever I will buy from now on will suit my complexion and brighten my face. I am extremely pleased with Marie’s services and expertise. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking certainty about the colors that work best for them.

      Time and money well spent to build confidence and efficiency in building a wardrobe. Now I know what works and what doesn't.  Sadly, some current favorites will have to go, but I can feel good knowing the replacements will look even better. Love my little take away book of colors created just for me. Can't wait to bring it shopping. Thanks, Marie!
