Hear what students have said about this amazing course:

"​I really enjoyed this step by step approach to creating a winter capsule wardrobe.
​Marie-Anne keeps the principles of French Style to the forefront of her delivery. It was interesting and informative."
​- Sue
​"I really enjoyed the Winter Capsule program. It made me aware of what my core wardrobe is, how versatile it could be, what I need to upgrade, and what might be missing. And Marie-Anne reminds us to continue to write in our Style Journals...although I have been keeping up with it, and find it an invaluable companion to all of the courses and programs. Perfect practice makes perfect! Thank you, Marie-Anne!"
​- Shawn Jamehdor​
"Finding Marie-Anne's YouTube videos (and through these her e-courses) has been a revelation!​
As I approach a new phase of my life , coming to the end of my career and looking forward to more free time , I have begun to think about what I want for myself in the future. My life up until now has been spent working and bringing up a family - now I'm looking forward to doing a little more for myself. I have been re-evaluating my lifestyle, diet and hopes and dreams for the future so that I can make the most of the time ahead.
​I am finding Marie-Anne's approach both inspirational and fun! Her videos touch on all of these goals. I am looking forward to building my wardrobe by investing in quality items that will make me feel good about myself because they suit me and will last for years to come, making the most of my hard earned cash! I have learned so much in a short time and feel that I now know where to start. Thank you Marie-Anne!"
​- Alison Leveridge
I appreciated that this course focused on the philosophy of a French wardrobe​​
"Even though I had a solid understanding of French style and capsule wardrobes before doing this course from prior reading, the assigned homework and live activity finally motivated me to put these ideas into practice. Also, I appreciated that this course focused on the philosophy of a French wardrobe as a whole, quality, versatility, budgets etc. over a rigid grid to make outfits from a strict number of pieces. Was worth my time and money. Gotta go make and journal some outfits now."​
​- Lisa Sinervo
"I have read Marie-Anne's book about French chic and style, which was an amazing journey with so many useful tips how to think of my wardrobe, which is the weakest (versatility) and which is the hardest (good colours) points of it. After that I had no doubt, that I would like to improve thoughts and even , because I have learnt from her, that it is the best investment, to invest in myself. If my wardrobe well-organised then my thoughts as well. Thank you Marie-Anne."

Very often I get comments and messages from clients, students and even just viewers of my YouTube channel setting out their style journeys and how their lives have been changed forever by authentic French Chic.
I recently had an exchange of emails with just such a lady. We will call her Alison. She has given permission to share her journey in the hope that her experience can help others find the true healing power of style.

"Dear Marie-Anne
I had no idea when I began my journey with you, that the experience would have such a profound effect on my life.
For a long time I purchased fabric and clothes in the moment, only according to their colour and feel, and then wondered why my wardrobe was so confusing, and why there was nothing in it I wanted to wear.
After a personal tragedy at a young age, I side-stepped my grief by finding fabrics and patterns to sew. This became my way of soothing survival. I went on to spend my working life in clothing factories. My closet rippled with the effects of this. It went very deep.
I had begun to get a nagging feeling that I had been operating at a fraction of who I was - and dressing at that fraction.
I knew the time had come. I had wanted to take your rectangle body shape course for about a year, but low esteem again, prevented me...so I took the plunge and enrolled...even then I was still ignoring my body.
It has been a huge snowballing of following your work Marie-Anne for about two years. I got the "intellectual hang of it", but I could not apply any of it to myself in my wardrobe....that was when the "why" really began to surface...the why became the vocal of why can’t I dress myself... why can’t I get this wardrobe sorted! Why doesn’t this go with this, and then the clanger.....other women can dress themselves and look confident, so why can’t I?
Marie-Anne, the why came out of complete frustration!!
I then had a complete realisation. “Its all in the closet - all of it!”
And the course all made sense, and seamlessly as I watched, I began to see my body, and its shape, and how to dress it...even with the type of fabric…that's when the shift happened Marie-Anne....I began to see dressing my body, as being separate from clothing/cloth being my  security blanket...it all began to fall into place...I could see where my wardrobe had been and why...and I could see how my body had been ignored in all this.
I came to see that what hung from my coat hangers were moments of grief, which have absolutely nothing to do with dressing myself. I lived in jeans, and I think that was how I had tried to mitigate all my closet confusion.
After asking more and more Whys, my closet had its say - "You put your low self esteem in here, and then you shut the door!"
So now Marie-Anne when you speak of  quality, being organised and decluttered, I will no longer say, “that's for others", instead I will say to that voice "be quiet, this is vitally important, and I need to listen".
I thank you so sincerely Marie-Anne that your care and dedication to our closets has led me to mine...I am shaking as I write this!
The trauma is coming out of mine, and a "me" is going in there instead. I have work to do, that I am sure, will be so liberating and so healing.
So in summary...I had forgotten I had a body to dress...and somehow in the ether, you somehow, through your course gave me permission, or okayness to accept my body and showed me how to dress it. My wardrobe at that moment became so simple and easy...it was unbelievable and wonderful at the same time…so, so cathartic....and the relief, that something which was so difficult for me could suddenly be so easy.
This has been a truly "true" experience, and I have enjoyed our time together.
I won’t be the same again Marie-Anne, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to find my courage.
This is my new found courage.
Who knew I could be this brave?
Not me!
Thank you for this gift.
Alison"

​Alison also shared a poem she had written about her experience, which I will treasure for ever:
Your rectangle course, somehow mirrored my body back to me...
I had not seen my body clearly.
It was under the fabric pile somewhere, being soothed, and I had long given up looking for it...
So, "where are my jeans, lets go" became my fail safe strategy.
But I got tierd of that..
I have lived there for too long.
Why, do I do what I do ?
I have no idea...
Why have I no idea...
I never dreamt my wardrobe could be any different.
Marie-Anne says it can
Why don’t you listen to her ?
It’s because I can’t find my body
She talks about those bodies, but you see I lost mine.
I left it under a pile of fabric somewhere, and I have forgotten what it looked like.
​
I hope you will also find the true healing power of authentic French Chic and let me be your guide
​Best Wishes
Marie-Anne

In this video I, myself, model the trends you SHOULD NOT WEAR, all in the name of giving you the best French Chic Style advice on the net.
We all want to look young, stylish and on trend yet some fashion trends are not a good look at any age; however when you are over 50 they definitely make you look like you are trying too hard and that is definitely not French Chic.
Let me know in the comments what you think - do you think I get away with some of the looks or none of them? I'd love to hear what you say.
