WHAT JULIE OFFERS
WARDROBE CLEAROUT
Julie will use her fashion stylist experience to help you clear out your wardrobe. This is an important step to help you feel more confident, put together and powerful when you get dressed every day. It will also help you create more outfits with less items and you’ll have all the necessary pieces in your wardrobe that fit your body shape and go together perfectly.
Julie will meet you at your home and do a thorough assessment and clear out of your wardrobe. She will check which pieces are unflattering, don’t fit or don’t serve a purpose in your closet. This includes clothes, shoes, accessories, and bags.
Based on what’s left in your wardrobe, Julie will then advise you on how to best coordinate these items into a workable, fashionable look.
Together with you, Julie will then plan your new wardrobe according to your lifestyle and budget. She will take items and colours you already love into consideration and will then draw up a list of items that need to be purchased.
This process is estimated to take 2 hours depending on the size of your wardrobe.
SHOPPING CONSULTANT
The perk of being a fashion stylist is that Julie can go shopping with you and help you choose fashionable items for your wardrobe. It will take the stress out of making all the choices on your own and you’ll have the guidance and support to steer you in the right direction with your decisions.
Julie will meet you at a convenient shopping centre (Cavendish Square, the Waterfront etc) having done a pre-shop to ascertain what is in stores and relevant for your wardrobe.
She will assist you by selecting items for you to try on in store and give you an honest and insightful opinion regarding the fit and style for your body shape.
Together, you will make a selection of the most appropriate items and purchase them (working off the list created during the wardrobe clear-out).
This process is estimated to take 3-4 hours.
VOUCHERS
Perhaps it’s not you who is looking for help with your wardrobe or style but a friend you feel could benefit from Julie’s fashion styling services. This is why Off The Rails created gift vouchers. They are wonderfully thoughtful and a fabulous and unique gift for a special birthday, Christmas present or any kind of celebration.
The voucher includes a wardrobe clear-out and shopping consultation with Julie herself. Say hello to newfound confidence with your fashion choices and style! Contact Julie for more details.
Please note that Julie works within the seasons in terms of what is available to purchase.
FASHION WORKSHOPS
As an experienced fashion stylist, Julie has hosted various workshops, presentations, and events over the years where she discusses the latest fashion trends and how to assemble a stylish and functional wardrobe using items from various vendors and retailers. You’re guaranteed to have fun with Julie’s bubbly personality as she explains how you can upgrade your look.

The focus of these workshops is for Julie to inform women what the key items for the season are, how to put them together in a stylish yet functional way and how to incorporate them into your existing wardrobe. The aim is for you to walk away feeling more confident knowing what and how to wear the latest trends.
Julie uses merchandise from well-known retailers as well as a few boutique and designer stores. She displays clothes visually on a grid, so her audience has a full understanding of how various clothing items work together.
Workshops can be tailored to suit the clients’ needs in terms of age groups, income, work status, gender etc. Please contact Julie for a quote.
Julie also hosts her own seasonal workshops bi-annually (winter and summer) in Cape Town to her own client database. Not only does she do a fashion presentation but she invites a range of vendors to the events to display and sell their latest trends for the season. This gives you the opportunity to do some shopping right after Julie’s informative presentation so you can get your hands on the latest stylish looks right there and then.
Please contact Julie if you’d like to be added to her database.
“Before Julie helped me, getting dressed every day was a constant frustration, clothes all over the bed and floor despite having a cupboard full of them. Julie brought structure and clarity to my wardrobe, and for the first time ever, I went shopping with an actual plan. I finally have a wardrobe where everything works together beautifully. I absolutely love my new look!”
