Marie-Anne Lecoeur Ecourses

I've already written more than fifty pages in my style journal in less than three weeks, and that was before I finished skimming the Style Journal ecourse this morning. I watched all the videos, but skimmed the pdfs. I will go back through it, using the prompts I might not have actually already accidentally incorporated in the journal. I have been an impatient person for results at other points in my life, but this has brought it home even more to me (I have gotten a little better in recent years) that one needs to put in the time and the work, and reflection, to make a metamorphasis (sp?) . Although I seem to have no problem with thinking of things to write in my journal, I will come back regularly to this course to flesh out my writing with your encouragement, tips, and prompts that have been provided. I've already seen improvement in how much more selective I am now with my shopping. Merci beaucoup!

I loved this course. I never thought about starting a style journal and it has really been such a great journey. I am becoming a better shopper because I am thinking out each idea and planning my wardrobe as I go. It is a great course! Sheila Rachal USA

By writing in my style journal and really being honest with myself I have realized how hard I’ve been trying. Trying too hard to look younger, to look sexy, to please men, to fit in with rich New Yorkers, to be accepted by my family...my top three benefits from this course have been 1) stop wasting money on clothes that are to please others 2) start saving for classic quality clothes and my kids future, and 3) stop trying so hard from the outside in, start shining from the inside out. I would recommend this course to any girl who grew up feeling less than, not as pretty, unsure of herself...it is important to start at the truth, Marie-Anne will take us across the finish line, she’s there to help us emerge from our dark cluttered closets as butterflies🦋

Marie-Anne Lecoeur gives some great tips on keeping a style journal. It will be very easy to refer to it once in a while as one's journey with style progresses. I highly recommend this comprehensive course.

A style journal is probably the main tool for all these other classes. It’s too easy to passively look at images online, in print or in person and not incorporate any ideas into one’s actual style. I often see something I find attractive and forget about it soon after. That’s why I decided to take this course, to be a bit more experimental and take photos of my own outfit attempts and journal my hits and misses for future reference. 

 Although Marie-Anne suggests using a hand written journal, I decided to set up a website (blog) on my local computer to organize my thoughts and images. Because it’s only on my computer, it’s private and I don’t have to worry about copyright issues with inspirational photos I add. I used two free applications, Wordpress (from wordpress.org) and MAMP (mamp.info) to get things up and running. There are free tutorials on YouTube that can assist if you too decided to go this route. Pinterest of course is another option for photos.

 If you take this course, you too can feel the warmth and encouragement Marie-Anne conveys to her students as you work your way through the modules. She’s funny yet serious, but also accepting and someone who will encourage you to improve while not being overly judgemental.

I have followed Marie-Anne for many years; however, this was the first time I have taken one of her classes. It will not be the last! Her energy and enthusiasm is inspiring, and it was so much fun to connect with a community of women who are on the same journey. The Style Journal Ecourse is a truly worthwhile experience.

After doing this course i have more confidence in making decisions about my choices, i have learned to discern my choices more and have an idea of what is missing, why its missing and what i can do next. it made me realise that i am naturally stylish but forgot myself. in the evenings i now sit and write in my journal and all sorts of things come to my mind, its like a form of therapy that helps me get things in order. my closet is organised and i feel excited when i open the doors now. when i sit down to journal i put on some music ,open the closet doors and think and write away for ages, i would not have done this without the course and Marie Annes encouragement .

I’ve been following MAL for about 4 months now, and learned and done so much already. Although I started keeping a little journal as she suggested, I tried this course to benefit even more. I did another pass through my closet with this course and saw that I had some “delayed downsizing” still to tackle. I did quite a trip down memory lane by journaling about my early days of special shopping trips to “The City”, and then to compare that to my new reality of anytime, anywhere, everything available and possible at any time shopping. Those good old days were so fun and exciting…. Trying to get that back again!
