Ideas to Inspire Your Style This New Year!
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Why did no one ever tell me that getting dressed could be fun? I already feel so revitalized when I look in my closet!"
I loved this client's realization that putting on clothes every day didn't have to be a chore to get done as quickly as possible! Halfway though her appointment, we were literally playing in her wardrobe, giggling as we put new outfits together from what she already owns. But it was her use of the word "revitalized" that struck a chord - that's exactly how I hope everyone feels when they open those closet doors. That the clothes inside bring creativity, excitement, and joy to your sense of self. And a smile to your face!

New Packages for the Ultimate Styling Experience
The celebrations this week launched not only a new year but new styling service package options! I am really excited about these - they better encapsulate what you've asked for to elevate your style in a way that supports your goals and needs. How I work with you won't change - I'll still be doing closet edits, wardrobe remixes, personal shopping, travel packing, etc, but I'm changing how services are bundled. Here's what this all means!
Wardrobe Revamp: When I'm in a client's closet for either a wardrobe edit (removing the pieces that need to go) or a remix (putting together new outfits from what they already have), it became difficult to keep the two services separate. If I'm going through everything with the eye to keeping a piece or not, I'm going to talk about potential outfits it could work with because I just can't help it! Conversely, if I'm there to create new outfits, of course we're going to talk about pieces that should be moved along. So rather than having those as two separate services, they're now permanently joined at the hip, just as they should be.
But not everyone needs a full wardrobe overhaul, so drawing inspiration from skirt lengths - Mini, Midi, and Maxi! - you can now choose just how much of a revamp you want. No matter which package you choose, we'll go through your closet, clear out the clutter, tidy things up, and create a wardrobe that delights you! All appointments include a pre-appointment consultation, Style Profile Analysis, a custom digital style app with your working wardrobe at your fingertips, and removal of discarded items.
Packages also include:
Mini: You'll get 10 new outfit looks added to your style app
Midi: You get 20 new looks added to your style app, plus we'll audit your wardrobe to determine where the gaps are in your wardrobe and which pieces you might want to add. You'll also get a couple of tools and treats to help your style goals in the future!
Maxi: this is the real deal. You'll get 30 new outfit looks and the audit, plus even more tools, including access to my Finding Your Style course! The best part, though, is that this automatically includes a personal shopping experience to build out the wardrobe of your dreams.
But what if you're pretty good about clearing out your closet and just need to go shopping? You let me know if you're just looking for small collection as a seasonal refresh or for an upcoming trip, or if you need a full overhaul and want to build a new wardrobe from scratch. Your choice for whichever one suits your current situation, but both deliver a very deliberate selection of clothes that fit your style and lifestyle, plus tools and resources to support you. As with the Wardrobe Revamps, all shopping appointments include a pre-appointment consultation, Style Profile Analysis, and a custom digital style app with your new wardrobe that you can access anywhere, any time.
My other services, like travel packing, downsizing & moving, the style app, and mini sessions, are continuing on as before, as is the Style & Shoot package and self-paced Finding Your Style downloadable course. Style is not a one-and-done proposition, so I'll also be offering returning clients a 10% discount + 5 additional looks because why not?! You work hard to maintain your style and I want to make it easier on you to keep it up throughout year.
ANATOMY OF AN OUTFIT
It's time to shake up the outfit inspirations in Style Buzz! Instead of presenting three ways to wear a particular piece, I'm going to pick my favorite outfit of the week and really break it down for you. You'll get a peek into why I've put it together and why it works, what elements could be swapped out, things to consider, etc.
This is one of my unicorn dresses - it's perfect in so many ways. I can dress it up or down, it's great in the summer and winter, it goes with everything but isn't boring, and it's just pretty! I've featured it before, but now that winter has finally kicked in, here's a warmer way to wear it! It's a thinner material so the key is to add layers - a silk thermal underneath and fitted moto jacket over it, plus a scarf in a color pulled from the pattern work nicely. The tights are fleece lined, and by matching the black boots to the jacket, there's a cohesion to the whole look. I paid attention to proportions with the length of the jacket to the hem of the dress, and found that knee high boots look just a good as an ankle bootie. A pair of rose gold earrings completes the look. Warm and comfy!
