Let me guess.
You’re sitting there thinking…
“I want something different.”
“Maybe I want a new career.”
“Maybe I want a side hustle.”
And there’s this little niggling feeling that styling could be for you.
You love clothes.
You love shopping.
You’re the one your friends send changing-room selfies to.
But then the doubt creeps in.
You look at your CV.
You look at your current job.
And you think…
“I’ve never worked in fashion. I’m not from a fashion background. Who the hell is going to employ me?”
And this is where you need to stop.
Because this is the beauty of my training.
You are not doing this to apply for jobs.
You are not doing this to impress an employer.
You are not doing this to sit in an interview and convince someone you’re good enough.
You are doing this to build your own business.
There is no one to employ you.
There is no one to approve you.
You create it.
And that changes everything.
When I First Started…
When I launched Style ME Training back in 2012, I genuinely thought we’d get fashion graduates. I thought we’d have fashionistas walking through the door with sketchbooks and styling portfolios.
We didn’t.
We had mums.
Lawyers.
Teachers.
Nurses.
Corporate professionals.
Normal women with proper careers who just wanted something more creative. Something flexible. Something that felt like them.
And I was one of them.
I came from a corporate background. Very structured. Very “proper job.” I didn’t grow up in fashion. I didn’t work in fashion. I started because I wanted extra income, doing something I loved. Eventually, yes, I left my corporate career and did this full-time — but it didn’t start like that.
Some of my delegates want full-time businesses.
Some want something around school hours.
Some want a side hustle.
Some just want to finally feel confident in their own skin.
There are no requirements.
On My Training, Everyone Starts from Scratch
This is important.
I don’t care if you’ve worked in retail for 15 years.
I don’t care if you’ve never done anything fashion-related in your life.
On my course, everyone starts from the beginning.
There isn’t a “more advanced” room for experienced people.
There isn’t a different course if you’ve got a fashion degree.
We build foundations.
And I teach it as if you know nothing — even if you think you know everything.
Because foundations create confidence.
And confidence is what allows you to actually launch a business.
Small Groups Change Everything
Another thing that makes this different:
My courses are small. 6 to 8 people.
That means I can read the room.
If something needs slowing down, we slow it down.
If you’re flying ahead, I stretch you.
If someone looks unsure, we unpack it properly.
You’re not lost in a sea of people.
And the best part? You learn from each other.
The corporate girl brings strategy.
The mum brings relatability.
The teacher brings patience.
The detective brings insane observation skills.
Everyone who attends at some point of the training thinks they’re “behind.”
And then they realise they’ve brought something unique to the table.
The Hare and the Tortoise
Here’s something interesting.
You’d assume the people with fashion backgrounds launch the fastest.
Not always.
Sometimes the “experienced” ones overthink it. They compare themselves. They want everything perfect before they start.
Meanwhile, the woman who knows nothing but is absolutely desperate to change her life? She launches.
It’s like the hare and the tortoise.
The one with hunger and determination often moves quicker than the one with technical experience but self-doubt.
How quickly you launch your business is down to you.
But you’ll be surprised how often the boldest moves come from the least “fashion qualified” people.
Take Jemma
She’s a Detective.
Not exactly fashion week, is it?
But she asked the most questions on the course. And I loved that.
She’s trained to investigate. To analyse. To pay attention to detail. That skillset? Incredible for styling.
She wanted her own style perfected. She wanted everything spot on. She didn’t just want to “kind of get it.” She wanted to master it.
And she has.
Her background didn’t hold her back.
It helped her.
And that’s the bit people miss.
Your career right now — wherever you are — has given you skills.
Communication.
Confidence.
Organisation.
Empathy.
Resilience.
Analytical thinking.
All of that transfers beautifully into styling.
And Let’s Talk About Accreditation
Now here’s the part that really matters.
You leave my training with an accreditation.
But I won’t give it to you until you’ve mastered it.
I’m not in the business of handing out certificates for attendance.
If you get that certificate, it’s because you’ve understood it. You’ve demonstrated it. You can do it.
So if that piece of paper — backed by proper training — doesn’t prove to that voice in your head that you’re capable…
Then what will?
Because at some point, the only thing left is belief.
The Real Question
The real question isn’t:
“Am I from fashion?”
The real question is:
“Am I ready for something different?”
If you feel that pull, don’t dismiss it just because your CV doesn’t say “fashion.”
You’re not applying for Vogue.
You’re building your own lane.
And I will teach you every step of the way.
From blank canvas… to confident stylist.
No intimidation.
No judgement.
No fashion snobbery.
Just proper foundations, small group support, accreditation you’ve earned, and the tools to build something that’s yours.
