“I call myself a practical girl… I am a mother of two young children, and very involved in their sporting and other school activities. I have a corporate job, which I love and enjoy. In my ‘scarce’ spare time, I like to go to gym, read a book or attend some work or school function. You see – I do not have time for luxury (window) shopping in malls or hour-long browsing through glossy magazines to see what this year’s fashion trends look like…

I have basically always shopped at the same outlets: they offer and advertise good brand names, trendy fashion and medium priced yet durable outfits. I never questioned whether the outfits I bought were really suitable for me. I thought my clothes had to look ok – given that they came from well known shops…

That is until I met Sam, who suggested she should go shopping with me… I explained to her that I do not really have time to shop – so we took out a few hours and off we went…
A new world opened in front of my eyes. Sam suggested we go shopping in ‘different shops’ to the ones I was used to. She made me try on designs and colours that I would not have tried on myself. She told me ‘to work with me strengths’ and to pick clothes that are flattering for my body’s shapes. I bought about 5 items and I must say that I have received more compliments on those than on the rest of my wardrobe – ever…

I believe that Sam’s advice is very valuable. She has taught me a lot about ‘how to pick my clothes’ while still remaining practical and quick. I will definitely recommend ‘Get Glam’ to all my working girl-friends out there…”
