AHH SO AMAZING!! I am SO excited to start my new wardrobe adventure!! I really do feel with all the advice I have learnt from you I can start to feel more confident, happier, energised and more youthful. I feel as though I need to recap the whole programme! I couldn't stop watching all the videos. I found everything so inspiring, but now my mind is blown.... Thank you all so very much for creating a course to help us feel like ourselves again! If I can achieve what you have created for your lovely models, I know it will be transformative for my lifestyle!!!! Thank you

What a fantastic informative and enjoyable course, the videos really helped in seeing real people and their clothing challenges . It shows and explains everything really well . The perfect thing about this course is I can go back and review the parts again I am not so sure about and all throughout there are discussion points where if you have a question you can post this in the discussion area in each section with a picture if you want to . Replies are quick and the information really helpful .I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about styling yourself . This course especially for me will undoubtably help me in not wasting time and money buying numerous items of clothing that nearly always get returned, or are never worn and desperately trying to figure out what I can wear with what and finally having a wardrobe that everything will mix and match. Getting dressed and finding something I feel good in and like will be a doddle.

Melissa and her team did a great job in putting this course together. I have been looking online on how to update my wardrobe for the past two years and when Melissa Murrel mentioned this course, I jumped right in. Best money well spend. And I'm already seeing results with my wardrobe declutter. I can now shop with confidence, if need, and definitely style myself. Loved Melissa YouTube videos this goes beyond it and is great for anyone looking to update their style.

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. I’ve taken several styling courses over the years and this is by far, the best one ever! I’ve researched other stylists and have not found anyone that explained the subject the way MM does. Her tricks just work. They work on my body and I am about to CONFIDENTLY shop for stylish clothes that fit my body and my lifestyle. Thanks ladies. Side note: the beautiful Ellie, that I am just in awe of….we have almost exactly the same measurements!! That made me cry bc I’ve never felt as beautiful as I think Ellie must be. Maybe I’m closer than I thought. Maybe I’m good just like I am. 💕✨🌟✨💕

The only bad thing about this course is the realization of the mistakes I've been making all these years! I've been totally clueless about my body shape, what to buy and how to build up a wardrobe that makes every day life easier and more stylish. Since doing the course I have been shopping and found it a completely different and better experience. Choosing the right clothes can be overwhelming but with what i have gleaned on the course its a doddle! I'm finding it so much easier to put stylish outfits together that suit me. This will save me so much money in the future - no more waste and getting ready stress.

This course is like having Melissa in your pocket! It’s amazing how what might seem little changes can make such a huge impact not only on how you put together your outfits but also how you look and feel. . I love how the neutral theme forms the foundation of the wardrobe and them colours are added accordingly to the event or desired look. I always avoided cream/white as I felt it made me look washed out, but I now realise mixed with the right coloured clothes and accessories ( who knew gold jewellery even suited me!? The last time I wore it I was 21!) I have learned so so much about dressing for my shape with this course and highly recommend it to anyone who is feeling a little flat about their self image, wardrobe or confidence. One of my biggest takeaways has to be the nude accessories advice… changing the texture and designs according to the look. Holiday packing used to be such a pain, but now all i need is one flat , one heeled pair of shoes and a neutral bag or two and they go with all outfit!s. I have to say this course is worth every penny. What price can you really put on feeling good and confident in yourself and your clothes?? X

I found this course invaluable; you could not help but want to read on! It has covered all aspects of styling that you would expect and more! From shapes, lifestyles, self-esteem, confidence, underwear, decluttering, the list is endless and there are even things I had never thought about but are so simple in styling yourself. The videos, photos, fact sheets, top tips, first class. My only regret is that this course was not available thirty odd years ago! The amount of shoe leather I would have saved trogging round shops, the time returning items, (un-shopping as my husband called it), the money I would have saved, but also, I would have enjoyed the experience, rather than dreading it! The course had a natural approach and was also fun, the number of times I laughed to myself knowing that I would have done that, or that is me all over! My congratulations Melissa and to your Team, a well thought out, put together course which can only go on to encourage, uplift, promote self-esteem and confidence in the everyday woman, you have achieved your goal! Bring on that next special occasion!

I’ve always loved Melissa Murrell’s real style for real women who live real lives. However, I was initially hesitant to invest the $$ in this course. Eventually I had to be honest with myself and admit that I had already wasted tens of thousands over the years in poor clothing choices and despite shopping for almost 50 years, I still didn’t have a thing to wear! So I signed up and I’m so glad I did. I’m now in the middle of a ruthless wardrobe purge, which I’ll confess I have done many times before and always ended up in the same pickle 6 months later. The difference this time is that I now have substantial knowledge behind what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and a new-found confidence and vision of how I want to dress and how I want to present myself to the world. I’m petite, with the added bonus of 25kg of steroid medication-induced weight gain. I’ve also moved from the city to a coastal town where my lifestyle is quite different. After completing the Personal Styling course I now know how to make myself look more balanced and current, and how to create a wardrobe that matches my body and my lifestyle. Thank you so much, Melissa and Team.

I am a busy store owner with 3 young adult children. Somewhere along the way, I have lost my sense of style. Typically I try on 3-5 outfits, get frustrated and depressed, and feel unattractive and self-conscious when I finally choose something. After working through this course, I have only clothes I love and that fit me. I have different shoes, accessories, etc. that allow me to quickly choose a dinner outfit, church outfit, or casual weekend outfit. I get dressed in record time, and I feel and look amazing! My confidence level is through the roof! Gone are the days of long, frustrating shopping trips and even more frustrating time spent dressing and redressing. Melissa, I can't thank you enough for giving me back my valuable time and self-confidence all while saving me money (I now wear ALL of my clothes, shoes, and jewelry because they all work toether).

I had mostly resigned myself to just dress in a way that was nice “for my age” until I this course. Usually I would just have a few “outfits” that I could wear and feel confident, but I mostly had random items of clothing. I didn’t know what I even needed to buy to style what I already owned, and I felt overwhelmed when I went shopping. This course taught me so much in an efficient way. I was already at my max with work and family but this course is so well put together, I was able to make it through fairly quickly. Melissa's videos are short and well edited and the material very easy to incorporate into my lifestyle. She also has a way of making a person feel good about themselves rather than just seeing what we may wish looked better. I was finally able to tackle my closet and know what to let go and what to keep. I could figure out what I was missing for my actual life (and height and weight). The tips and tricks alone were worth it because they helped me to really love so many items I already had. I just feel so much more confident and I have gotten so many compliments on my outfits. I wish I knew this years ago!

From our fully-accredited, Personal Styling for a Career course

"I've just had my first paying client!"

Grace

Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had to write and tell you that I've just had my first paying client - I still can't believe it. I loved it and she was so grateful, I really felt like I helped her. I never thought I could actually do this. I can't thank you enough for giving me the confidence to believe in myself. Now I've got to prepare her pinterest board and send her an invoice (thank goodness I've got your templates!). Beyond excited.

"I never dreamt I could turn this love into a career"

Clare

My story is all too common; I fell into a job after leaving school and 20 years later I was still there. I’ve always loved clothes and place a lot of value on the confidence the right outfit can give you. I never dreamt I could turn this love into a career but I’ve done it! At first it was slow and I did the first handful of wardrobe edits for free but I’m now working full time doing what I love. Thank you Melissa, you delivered way more than just a 'styling course' you literally taught us everything we needed to know and so much more - I was very impressed and very grateful. A great time had by all.

"It was a lot to learn but so much fun to do"

Rachel

The MM Styling Academy, Melissa and her team literally imparted every ounce of knowledge they had on us. It was a lot to learn but so much fun to do. For me the best part of the course was all the valuable tips you gave us which only your years of experience could teach and that no book I’d ever read had ever mentioned. Priceless. I can’t promise that I won’t be giving you a call when It’s time to do my receipts though! Best wishes, It’s the best few days I’ve had in a very long time!

"It's not about the clothes; it's about the confidence"

Katherine

Everyone said I could do it and it’s not that I doubted myself, it was more the rut I was in! When I decided to grasp at the opportunity to change careers and embrace something I'd felt was natural to me, I was soon reassured I had made the right decision. Listening and learning to how Melissa made such a difference to a lady she re-styled totally impressed me. There was such a clear message of - "it’s not about the clothes; it’s about the confidence you can give someone with the right selection of clothes". I've carried that with me ever since. Thank you for everything you taught me.

"The education, expertise and experience ..."

Emma

Before I was introduced to the MM Styling Academy I struggled to believe I could ever enjoy a livelihood that combines my love of style and clothes and affords me the flexibility I need as a busy mum. They gave me the education, the expertise and the experience to establish a personal styling business which I now run on my terms around my family life.

"How to style every different body shape"

Heidi

The course was exactly how you described; really informative, fun and with lots of practical examples and exercises. I came away with every bit of information I needed to start up on my own, as well as all of the knowledge on how to style every different body shape. I’m nervous but excited and I wanted to thank you for giving me the experience and all the tools to do this.
