What is it like to work with me?

To better understand my process, here are some questions prospective clients frequently ask me.

What stores do you shop in? Do you only shop high-end and luxury retailers?

I shop in a variety of retailers. Fashion need not be expensive to be great. In our consultation we will discuss your style aesthetic, size, silhouette and budget. Based on your desired results I will be able to assess what retailers will provide us with the right choices to fit your lifestyle. I am your personal style guide towards making smart investments with your wardrobe, not just to buy expensive items.

Have you ever styled or shopped for someone with my special sizing? Or my body type?

I work with women of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re tall, petite, plus-sized or between “standard” and plus-sized there are retailers out there to meet your needs. Every body is different and I am here to guide you on what styles and silhouettes look good on your body type. When you work with a fashion stylist you learn to shop smarter and I’ll teach you the retailers that cater to your special sizing needs.

What if I’m left with no clothes at the end of the closet audit?

I promise I will not make you get rid of all your clothes! However if we find clothes that don’t fit or flatter and you haven’t worn them anyway, aren’t they just taking up space? The goal is to create a full wardrobe of clothes that you’re excited to wear. At the end of the audit you’ll have items that you love, pieces you can mix and match, clothes that make you look amazing because they flatter your body type, and I will help you style and accessorize the items so you know how to wear them as a complete look.

Isn’t a stylist just for celebrities? I’m not rich or fancy.

This service is for any woman who wants to show up in the world as her highest, best self. You deserve to look and feel amazing! The clothes you choose to wear send a message to the outside world about how you feel about yourself. Don’t you want to look and feel confident? When you work with a stylist you learn to shop with intention, shop for your body type and silhouette, and you stop wasting money on garments you’ll never wear. Making the decision on what to wear will be easy and effortless. Style is for everyone, not just celebrities.

I hate shopping, Can you just do it for me?

Yes! Virtually and in-person. Virtually I can send carefully curated items for you to check out through an online catalogue you can even access on a mobile device - just click and purchase, and I’ll follow up with you on how to style the new items. When we are shopping together in-person I will put together a list of clothes you need beforehand, then at the store I’ll pull items for you to try on based on our list of must-have items.

How can I be sure that I’ll still look like myself in clothes that I like, not just clothes you like? How can I be sure I’m not going to look like a different version of you?

I have worked with women from all backgrounds, careers, ages, and styles. I’m not trying to make anyone a clone of me and my style. As a wardrobe stylist I am committed to finding your personal style based off your career, hobbies, lifestyle and budget. Your style should reflect who YOU are, how you feel at the moment and where you are going. I will help you to discover a way to dress that feels authentic and exciting for you.

What if I don’t want a complete package? Can I customize services?

My packages are designed to give you the optimal results. I am here to support you along your style journey, to answer questions that may come up, and to make you feel you got the most out of the experience. The price is the same whether you use all or part of the package. If you have specialized needs I can help you come up with a customized package that combines more than one of my services and gives you additional support.

It seems like a lot of money, is it worth it?

Yes! YOU are worth it. Hiring a fashion stylist can seem like a lot at first but you actually save money in the end. You’ll stop wasting money on clothes that you don’t wear, clothes that don’t fit and flatter and that don’t light you up. You deserve to show up confidently in this world whether it’s on a date or at the office. When you know how to dress your personal best with the help of a stylist, heads will turn, people will notice, and you’ll reap the rewards of investing in yourself.

You hardly know me, how can you possibly know how to shop for me and style me?

I know it may seem crazy that someone you just met or found on social media could be able to shop for you but that is why I ask so many “get to know you” questions in my new client questionnaire. We go over the questions on our consultation call so I can see if there’s anything I missed. I want to know your lifestyle, career, your style icons, your favorite retailers, how certain garments make you feel, your personal preferences when it comes to style. I want to know what is working for you and what’s not. The better I get to know you the more successful I’ll be in helping you to curate a closet that makes you excited about getting dressed in the morning.

I just want to feel polished and “put together”, how will you help me?

During our sessions you will learn the basics, put together a capsule wardrobe, learn how to sprinkle in trendy pieces, learn to accessorize, and embrace your style aesthetic so that feeling “put together” will come easily. I will teach you easy style tips to remember when putting a look together or when shopping for new items on your own. I’ll help you catalogue your items and create look books for easy reference when putting an outfit together. I’ll also support you through text or email when you have a question about what we’ve accomplished together.
