What is a personal stylist?

As a Sustainable Wardrobe Stylist, I specialize in sustainable styling. I work with clients to define their personal style, including editing their existing closets, curating outfits for everyday life and special events, finding eco-friendly pieces to fill the gaps, and ultimately shifting their mindless shopping habits in general.

We all live very different lives, but we all share one thing: every morning, all of us wake up and get dressed (think post-pandemic) for our day. BUT - did you know that the majority of women have difficulties doing that simple task? Why is that? Truth is - it isn't so easy.

There are dozens of reasons why it isn't, but here are just a few:

• We have too many clothes in our closets that our minds become overwhelmed when making the decision of what to wear.

• We're not really confident in our personal style, so we compromise what we wear to get the approval of other women or the men in our lives.

• Our closets are full of items we don't wear because we felt pressured into buying what was "on trend" or "on sale."

In short, my mission as a personal stylist is to ultimately help you find your own style, and make getting dressed every morning effortless and enjoyable.

Why do I need a stylist?

There are many reasons why you may feel the need to hire me as your stylist. Here are just a few of the reasons my previous clients have invested in my services:

• "I don't know what flatters my body."

• "I recently had a baby and have no clue how to dress my postpartum body."

• "I don't know what my style is! I feel like I'm all over the place!"

• "My closet is full of clothes I don't wear, so I need someone to help me clean it out and tell me what should I keep or toss!"

• "I feel like all my friends have better style than me."

• "I just went through a divorce and I want to feel better about myself again."

• "I received a promotion in my company! I need a wardrobe that reflects my new job!"

• "I'm sick of my current wardrobe - trash it all and help me start fresh!"

• "I'm married with kids, AND work full-time - I don't have time to shop let alone dress myself. HELP make it easy for me!"

Can I afford to hire a personal stylist?

Yes, I have a range of packages and hourly rates that can be customized to a variety of budgets. The purpose of my services is to awaken your own creativity and confidence, so you have all the tools you need once I leave. It's a minor investment that brings a major life change. Hiring a personal stylist is as affordable as getting your hair colored, buying designer clothes, laser hair removal, or hiring a personal trainer.

Can I hire a personal stylist if I want to lose weight first?

You deserve to look and feel good regardless of the size you are wearing. Don’t put your life on hold until you reach your goal weight! I want you to enjoy your life now, feel beautiful, wear that dress and put your swimsuit on - the only thing stopping you is confidence and that is something I know a lot about fixing!

Can the experience be successful if I am not very into Fashion?

Not everyone shares my passion for fashion but everyone should care about the first impression they make. 55% of first impressions are made by what we see and you may not be interested in the latest trends hitting the runway, appearance is always very important in a professional or business environment. My focus isn’t fashion its style - finding and developing your personal style and bringing it to the world the best version of yourself.

I have a hard time finding clothes that fit me. Will you be able to help me?

Yes, I work with clients of all shapes and sizes. I shop and style for petite, plus size, tall, and everything in between. Your body is a powerful machine and you should be thankful. I want you to embrace your shapes and dress the way you want! I will teach you everything you need to flatter your beautiful body!

How A Personal Stylist Can Help A Teenager?

A personal stylist for a teenager can help them navigate one of the most tricky life transitions. I have a pre-teenager, and seeing her go through it reminded me of what I went through as a teenage girl. Friendship groups are so important and, feeling like you are part of the gang in how you look is equally important. Coupled with body changes and outside reactions from other people, it can be very overwhelming.

When I help adult clients, I help them understand their silhouettes and colors to create flaterring outfits. For teenagers, the styling approach is different because their bodies may still be changing, and we don’t want to trigger body dysmorphia issues. Through my teenage styling experience, I will help your daughter identify her best colors and what she likes the most about her body. I will guide her to develop her sense of style and teach her how to shop and style-flattering outfits to boost her self-esteem.

During the experience, we go through their existing wardrobe, removing anything that does not work and offering suggestions of what they might consider adding to their closet.
