What Clients Are Saying...
– about working with Julie –
I highly recommend Julie to help you create the look and feel that best represents you and puts you in a positive light wherever you go. I moved to a new area and had also been struggling with finding new clothes as I had lost most of my items in a fire. I had to start from scratch so I reached out to Julie to help me build a wardrobe that best represented me and would not need a large investment up front. Her expertise and being able to work in my budget was so useful. I feel empowered and authentic with the pieces that she helped me choose. AND she found items for ALL of my life’s needs – social, home/lounge, business, night-outs…all in one shopping day! She made me feel special and has been supportive of not just my clothes but my lifestyle. HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! Hazel-Ann McLean, TriVerum
“Julie is a pleasure to work with. She has such a great reputation that I hired her to consult with my wife. My wife is thrilled to be able to work with an expert who understands not only fashion but also how each person looks in different colors. I have also had the pleasure to hear Julie speak on several occasions. She is a tremendous speaker and she is able to teach fashion and color with a killer sense of humor. I highly recommend her.” Victor McCall, attorney
I was frustrated with many of the clothes in my closet. I have bought pieces over the years that I thought I liked, but they ended up rarely being worn because they didn’t go with my other clothes, or they just didn’t “feel right” or “look right”. Then I heard Julie give a presentation on the art of dressing well. Everything she said made perfect sense. After Julie helped me learn what colors look best on me and what style of clothes work best for my body build, I now feel confident in the clothes I buy and know that they will look great on me. I’ve cleaned out my closet of clothes I rarely wore, and now have items that I really like…. and, I know that I look fabulous in them! Thanks Julie. Elisa Blackwell
“Guys/gals, are you wondering if you have the wardrobe “game plan” to get you where you want to go personally and professionally? You need to hire “Coach” Julie Thurburn of Colour IQ to make sure you make a “winning” appearance every time you go out. Don’t take my word for it. Just meet with her and you will be glad you did.” Robert Sage, WP Enterprises
“I have seen Julie change people’s lives with her insight, not only with practical image advise but also by gently addressing issues like self esteem and negative self talk that can eat away at one’s self confidence. She helps them rebuild that from the outside in with velvet persistence (because sometimes we need that) and a warm heart. I have learned much from her.” Susan Turner, Director, Mary Kay Cosmetics

“Julie has a keen fashion sense and style interpretation that gives her counsel and guidance a very realistic approach to an individual’s personal appearance that will maximize a person’s positive visual first impression. Her enthusiasm and professionalism gives added impact to her work and make her a valuable resource for any individual or business.” Marc Jensen
“Julie… I truly enjoyed our time together. It was very beneficial to have my closet organized before Julie came so she could eliminate the wrong items quickly. Julie showed me that I was wearing the wrong season and since changing to the correct season, I have received more compliments about me, rather than the clothes I was wearing. Julie also pulled clothes that were according to my style, which I didn’t even know about. It was also very comfortable that Julie left me to choose the clothes that I would decide to buy and take home, so I didn’t feel pressured to buy more than I could afford at the time.” Trisha T
“If you want success in the way you dress, call Julie today. Julie is an expert in style and will help you understand your personal style and how to put your best foot forward. I hired Julie to help me determine how to look my best in every situation…work, leisure, activities with my children. She took the time to get to know me, understand my needs (and budget) and she taught me how to choose clothing items that would be best for me. Since our initial meeting and shopping experience, I have received numerous compliments from friends, family and co-workers on how great and professional I look. From hair to heels, Julie’s suggestions and recommendations have been right on target. Hiring Julie was the best decision and investment I have made for myself. I even like shopping now…it’s actually fun. I highly recommend Julie Thurburn.” Jennifer Schmiel
“Julie uses creative solutions to teach her clients how to accentuate the positive, and be more confident. By hiring Julie I saved time as well as money. I’m no longer going to purchase the wrong styles or colors for my professional wardrobe. Julie is fabulous at assisting with closet organization which is one of the best results from our partnership. Everyone deserves to learn what looks best on them and which styles to avoid. I have recommended Julie to numerous colleagues, friends and acquaintances. Self-assured professionals understand that getting advice is smart! Julie’s advice is accurate and detailed, and I look forward to continuing our partnership.” Michelle Botzau
“Although I saw the value of proper attire – and have encouraged clients to follow the old adage: “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have” – I had no idea of the huge impact that colors make on this decision. Since my consultation with Julie, I have noticed my clothing truly enhancing my natural features – it gives a much more dramatic, consistent, and effective “presentation” that ties everything noticeably well together. People have actually made comments about my look, and it’s a wonderful feeling. Now that I am “aware” of how this works, people that are ‘off’ really stand out to me. Julie – advertise more!!!” David Mettler, owner, David Mettler & Associates
“Julie’s Fabulous You program made me feel confident, centered, grounded and in alignment with my personal presentation in a way that I never truly identified before working with Julie. Her expertise is invaluable and I highly recommend this service.” Crissy Broeske
I was always struggling to find the right colors for myself. As an active adult I dreaded shopping for clothes because I would get frustrated not knowing what looked good on me. Julie found my best colors, and working with her was a great experience. I love to shop for clothes now, and I’m more confident in how I look. Mary Cox, active adult
“I would like to recommend Julie Thurburn as a personal coach for young ladies of all ages. She took time out of her busy schedule to meet with my Girl Scout troop. The girls range in age from 10-12 years. All had just entered middle school in the 6th grade. As many of you know, this can be a very scary and hard time for a young lady when she is moving from being a “little girl” to a “young lady”. Julie was great with the girls. She worked with them as a group on their leadership skills, how they hold themselves and how the present themselves to others. The discussion went from how to speak to how to dress. Then she also took time to work with each young lady personally so they all had the attention they needed. I had an email from one mom who said that her daughter ran back upstairs to address what she had on when she was headed out to see some past customers (who she sold cookies to) ! One of the girls told me she used what you taught her to help sell more cookies, and then this past week some of the girls sold Raffle tickets for Attitude and Attire Charity and helped raise over $870! The hosts of the event all said they were extremely surprised at how they, the girls, acted and how they presented themselves. Julie was great!!!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!” Amy McElya
“I attended Photo Fabulous because I wanted to convey confidence and courage in my photos. I thought I might get a few good photos I could use for promoting my business. Instead, I got MUCH MORE; professional and beautiful photos that captured the connection between myself and the other women in the event! I was surprised by my ‘Ah Ha’ moment while practicing poses in a mirror. Giving me permission to accept my inner beauty and confidence was strangely difficult. The fabulous women at this event worked with me until I felt more comfortable with the process. The poses were creative and unique, I felt confident, and the photos turned out wonderful. I am looking forward to joining the next event – and I recommend you join me!” Cindy B
“Everyone should take this class. It opens your mind to the point of believing ‘I am beautiful. I can and will take better pictures’. Mothers and daughters should take this class as it’s an awesome way to spend time making memories. Memories that will last a lifetime.” Laura B
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for helping me take a photo that portrays the real me! I’m eternally grateful!” Michelle S
“I’ve had the privilege of attending two of Julie’s events. They were not only informative, but FUN! The Photo Fabulous event was not only informative on how to pose for pictures, but how to apply that in real life photo opportunities (i.e. events, group photos). In addition, we took home some fabulous head shots. I’ve had many head shots taken in the past, but with the training from Julie and her team, I know I could do it on my own in the future.” Anonymous
