In
today’s very image-conscious world, a wardrobe makeover with
the help of a personal shopper can offer a decided advantage. Dressing
well not only communicates taste and style, but also gives us a
powerful sense of belonging wherever we are. For all your
activities -- business, leisure, special events and travel -- I
can save you time and energy. Let a stress-free, confidently
stylish new you step forward!
 If
you are...
- Just too busy to shop for clothes
- Dismayed by the chaos of your closet
- Overwhelmed by the array of fashion choices
- Somewhere on the style-scale between REI
and Versace
- In need of a
semi - or total -
wardrobe revamp
Let a professional wardrobe stylist bring you...
- Experience from over 20 years as a Hollywood
costume designer on films - Wayne's World - and hundreds of TV commercials - Lexus, McDonald's, Jenny Craig, Budweiser, Playstation
- Insight from wardrobe consulting and personal
shopping for select private clients (men, women, even kids!)
- Enthusiasm, organization, and a sense of
fashion both timeless and contemporary
- Respect for your image, comfort
and budget
Here's
how it works...
- We discuss your lifestyle, personal preferences
and needs
- We review your closet (organizing optional) to keep what works, store what’s worthy
and get rid of what’s tired (expect ruthless editing)
- We go shopping together, or I pre-select items in stores in the
Seattle or Bellevue area before you arrive to try them on, and then you buy what you love
- Or, I go shopping alone with your wish list,
bring items to your home or office to try on, you reimburse me for keeps
and then I return the rest
