     Your Personal Lookbook

    Sending you out into the world on a daily basis feeling like your authentic self and projecting confidence. 

Our work together will consist of three elements:

 
 

LIFESTYLE AND WARDROBE SYNC

I visit your closet in person or via Zoom. We start by talking through your daily and weekly schedule to ensure that your wardrobe is right for the life you are living right now.  Nothing makes it harder and more frustrating to get dressed than a mismatch between the items in your closet and the events on your calendar.  We will talk through any special occasions you have upcoming in the next 6 -12 months and any specific needs for your wardrobe based on your field of work.  I’ll take a few basic measurements (bust, waist, and hips) and note your height so that you have the data you need to shop and use brand size charts effectively going forward.  We will also talk through your color palette and “style words” to help you get clear on your best colors and give you some vocabulary to define your personal style.

 
 

CLOSET CURATION

Then we will dive into your closet together and review what you own and where the gaps are.  I will have you try on many of the items in your closet, looking at functionality and fit and making suggestions about how to edit what you own to make your wardrobe work better for the life you are living now.  As we work, I’ll make a list of any gaps I see in your wardrobe.  When we finish, you will be ready to consign or donate the items no longer working for you and you’ll likely have a few pieces to take to the tailor for fit adjustments.  Within a week of our appointment you’ll receive a style memo from me.  It will contain a recap of our lifestyle/wardrobe sync, your color palate and style words, and a specific list with suggested links for items I recommend you purchase to fill in any gaps.  I can make recommendations about what is worth consigning and where to do that, as well as offering tailoring recommendations.

 
 

YOUR PERSONAL LOOKBOOK

Once you have had a chance to digest the style memo and make any planned purchases, I will come back to your closet in person or virtually.  We will integrate the new items with your existing audited wardrobe.  As we work through your closet I will style outfits for you and photograph those looks.  After this appointment I will send you those photos so that you can save them in an album on your phone and use them as your own personal lookbook.  You won’t have to guess what you should wear for a big meeting or what to pack for an upcoming trip.  Just flip to your saved album and put on (or pack) that outfit.
