I thought I was doing fairly well working with my (overflowing) wardrobe and trying to do clean outs every now and the reality was that was getting a little on top of me!

I knew Sue Bollinger, had the ‘Wardrobe Audit’ as one of her Authentic Style services and I’m SO pleased I decided to go for it!
Sue arrived to our session armed and prepared with bins: donate, sell, mend, sentimental, etc, and we quickly got stuck into it. I tried on stuff and she helped ME decide what worked, what didn’t and why – suggesting ideas I hadn’t thought of before on ways to put things together as well as ways to wear things I love but don’t get around to wearing! FUN!
Sue quickly saw which items I felt more comfortable in and we ditched the items that I liked but didn’t love! It was liberating. It didn’t take long to determine the looks I love and it was so great to get tips and tricks for combining what I have with fun & funky ideas! You know those things you absolutely love, can’t part with, but never actually wear? Sue showed me ways to make them WORK!! (SO HELPFUL)
Sue also followed up with an email detailing the ideas we came up with and tips for moving forward! My wardrobe is now ORGANISED!!! I now have less clothes but way more clothes to wear! AND Sue and takes away the clothes for donation for you! So I don’t have to have a huge bag of stuff sitting in the back of my car for months! 🙂
Highly recommend!!
My husband gifted me a shopping experience with Sue from Authentic Style.

I shop for the whole family and rarely for myself other than functionally. It’s not something that I enjoy.
Sue had done a lot of recon through various shops before our appointment.This made my shopping experience very efficient and productive. I particularly needed a formal dress as ‘Mother of the groom’ and was stressed about what to get.
Sue made this so easy! It was so successful on many fronts. Can’t recommend Sue enough especially if you are looking for something special. Thanks Sue!
I am currently on a journey of embracing myself and who I am as a person in 2023. As part of this journey a big part has been learning to embrace my body shape! This is where Sue @ Authentic Style has set my 2023 off to the best start EVER!

Clothes shopping is my least favourite thing to do! I find it incredibly depressing and end up hating myself, promising only to eat lettuce leaves and run marathons!! All of which NEVER happen! 🙂
I wanted to start 2023 differently this year, starting with a wardrobe audit and shopping session with Sue!
The wardrobe audit was excellent! It was an incredibly cleansing and freeing experience! As I tried on everything in my wardrobe, it was great to have Sue’s expert eyes and perspective on how to match different pieces to create a whole new look and style. Outfits that I never knew existed all from within my current wardrobe!
Sue then took me on our shopping trip! Sue made it fun and the way she handled my apprehension and emotions in the dressing room with such empathy and professionalism was so reassuring and encouraging! Sue showed me colours, shapes and styles I had never previously considered. Sue turned my worst nightmare/fear (of clothes shopping) into a ‘dream come true’ experience!
I am feeling fabulous to start 2023 with lots of comments on my new ‘Authentic’ style! I am feeling confident and for the first time in my life (45yrs) learning what it is to embrace my shape and loving it! I highly recommend this investment in yourself!
In two hours, Sue had completely transformed my wardrobe with clothes that made me feel confident and like a new woman.
Vanessa, 43 (Sunshine Coast)
But it didn’t end there because Sue then emailed me, a few days later, a list of the styles we bought and what suited me and what to avoid when shopping on my own.
This gorgeous lady is a superstar when it comes to clothes this is definitely something I plan to do with her once a year.
She made me feel incredibly comfortable and made sure I was honest about the outfit I was wearing at the time. For the first time in my life, shopping was fun again!
Sue is the ultimate personal stylist!
Renae, 47 (Toowoomba)
Her creativity and knowledge around styling is outstanding. Sue works with your body shape and helps you understand what flatters and enhances not only your shape but your personality too whilst being mindful of budget and your comfort level.
Sue encouraged me to try styles I would normally stay away from, with surprising results. She is insightful and cohesively integrated new pieces that will work with my existing pieces. She gave me valuable suggestions on how to style my new pieces to either dress up or dress down giving more than one way to wear. Also how a simple accessory like a belt or statement necklace can take me from frumpy to fab. Sue was so fun to be with, I didn’t want my style session to end!
After spending time with Sue I am excited and have a renewed enthusiasm for clothes shopping. I am so happy and confident wearing my new outfits (did I also mention the compliments I’ve been receiving). I can’t wait for another session with Sue when the season changes.
I would recommend Sue to anyone who’s wants a positive, fun styling experience with a special touch!
My styling sessions with Sue from Authentic Style have been both delightful and helpful. She has shown me how to experiment with style and colour. It’s a fun and informative experience not to be missed.
Lorelle, 77 (Brisbane)
I am 62 years old and I really felt it. I fell into a world where I didn’t really wear anything but shorts and tshirts. Added to that I didn’t really like how I looked or felt anymore. Yes I was overweight and definitely out of shape. Without realising it, I thought I was lucky because I could buy big clothes to hide it all. I am thankful I met Sue from Authentic Style. I felt an immediate bond and quickly developed a trusting relationship.
Pauline, 62 (Sunshine Coast)
To kick it off, we spent time going through my wardrobe, it was scary as I uncovered clothes that I had not worn for many many years but I had kept them just in case. When we finally sorted it all I only had a small amount of clothes that truly fitted me and made me feel good. This was a really important step.
I had to learn what style of clothes were the best fit and the look that I was wanting for me. I didn’t want to look like mutton dressed as lamb but I wasn’t ready for the real old grandma look.
Sue took me on a shopping trip, well it was more like an expedition. It was something that I was absolutely dreading as I have always hated clothes shopping with a passion. We had a great day and I soon started to learn that I just needed to trust an expert to give me the new direction I needed.
It is now 12 months on and I am still using my new clothing style and wellbeing skills to move forward. Some days I look in the mirror and I can’t believe how much better I feel, no more hiding under layers of big clothes.
Thanks Sue you have definitely changed my life for the better.
Sue is a ‘natural’ when it comes to personal styling! She made me feel totally relaxed and showed me what and how to dress for my shape rather than styles! For the first time ever I actually enjoyed clothes shopping! 🙂 I felt fabulous in what I was wearing!!
B.P., 45 (Toowoomba)
Sue made my shopping experience fun and light hearted!! Sue has such a gifting in styling and I recommend everyone shout either yourself or a friend this amazing fun experience with a styling session with Sue! You will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!!!
I had such a fun day with Sue! Initially I was very unsure about going… I had a small budget, didn’t want anything fancy or trendy, just regular day to day clothes I felt good in.
Elizabeth, 48 (Brisbane)
She definitely delivered, with quality clothes that will last years without looking dated.
Sue gently nudged me out of my comfort zone with her suggestions, helping me how to be open to new cuts, fabrics and styles that still felt like ‘me’, but were fresh and provided an edge for my already established wardrobe. Laughed a lot, had a great day…. certainly took the stress out of my usual clothes shopping experience.
Thanks Sue
Sue took the time to get to know what I liked and disliked in terms of fashion. She then challenged my preconceptions as she guided me through Myers Ladies Fashion.
Paula (Toowoomba)
Before I knew it I was whisked into the change rooms trying on a selection of outfits that she recommended and that I would never have dreamed to don! There were some outfits I would have rejected thinking the colours didn’t suit me, or they were too young or too fitting. However I am so glad Sue pushed my conservative ideas because I came out with some outfits that I feel so good in.
I feel younger when I wear them because they accentuate my good features. I have to say Hubby was pretty impressed too. I really recommend having a session with Sue. She is a delightful, challenging, witty Personal Stylist. I am sure I will be seeking some #AuthenticStyle therapy again!
