Elevating our community through style. Rachel Williams is Eugene's premier stylist for local, sustainable, mindful, and effortless dressing. Let's smash the myth that you need to spend buckets of money, live in a big city, or be a certain size to have great style! Rachel Williams Who doesn't have fun in a limo?! Rachel Williams, Eugene Stylist Stylist standing in front of a clothes rail with a capsule wardrobe on it Rachel Williams, Eugene Stylist The simplicity of a crisp white buttonup shirt (and a green velvet chair!) Rachel Williams Who doesn't have fun in a limo?! 1/6 Originally from Manchester, England (where the worker bee is the city symbol!) but now in Eugene OR, I wanted to find a way to elevate our community and realized that style is a pretty fun way to do that. My goal is not just having people look and feel great and not be afraid of what's in their wardrobe, but to make a financial and ecological impact, too. Shopping at independent boutiques supports small businesses and our local economy while reducing the carbon footprint with fewer delivery trucks on the road. (But if you are going to shop online, being deliberate about buying or renting gently used clothing that doesn't contribute to the climate impact of the fast fashion industry really makes a difference, too.) And then, what about taking care of the clothes you already have? There are specialists and tools that make mending so much easier, and I wanted to get the word out about those, too. Everything we own affects us, so let's work together to wear only those things that elevate us, and in turn we can elevate our community. Also, tea goes best with a biscuit. xx rachel You're women and men in Eugene, Springfield and surrounding areas who are getting frustrated with a perceived lack of good local shopping and the volume of clothes you have but still have nothing to wear. Perhaps you're having a life-renaissance and want to ramp up your style but don't know where to start or how to go about it. And your sweetheart or teenage daughter won't spend a Saturday going through your closet with you (nor should they!). Those nagging questions keep popping up... Won't replacing my whole wardrobe be so expensive and wasteful? Will I have to sacrifice comfort for style? How do I justify getting rid of things that I spent money on or were given to me? And what's the point of being stylish when wearing pj's in public * is kind of acceptable here? I'm not just a consultant; I'm here to be your cheerleader, to give you the boost you need to really look at what you have, what you like, what to let go of, and how to dress the body you have - all without replacing your wardrobe or being uncomfortable. You'll end up feeling fabulous, with your own style and a wardrobe you're excited to wear, and a community that benefits from your mindfulness. *oh please don't! book now Professional Affiliations: Kate Taylor Stylist Society and Preferred Stylist Directory Lauren Messiah Style Boss Academy Hue & Stripe Let's Chat Phone Email 415.305.6500 rachel@eugenestylist.com Proud member of Rotary International

Finding Your Style A Self-guided Course Ask yourself... Do you struggle to get dressed every day? Do you have a full closet but nothing to wear? Are you having a life-renaissance and want to ramp up your style? Do you want to try to figure this out on your own? Are you confused about where to start? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you're in the right place! It's your time to find your personal style! Even though you get dressed every day, you might struggle with knowing what to wear, how to put outfits together, what clothes look best on you, or even where to find those clothes. It's confusing, and it's definitely a frustrating and tiring way to start your day. In a closet overflowing with memories, investments, and former selves, where do you even start? Are your closest family and friends afraid that you'll change and they won't recognize the you they've always known? But maybe change is what you want, and in order to step into the future self that you're becoming, you sometimes have to shed what's on the outside to better reflect what's already on the inside. And literally changing your outward appearance is the first step toward revealing the real you! If you're ready to greet the future with style and confidence but aren't sure about working with a personal stylist, this course was created just for you. It will walk you through how to discover and create your own personal style, done at your own pace and on your own terms. No fear, though - I'll be right by your side the whole way, I promise! During this course, we will dive into the mindset of becoming your own personal stylist. We’ll cover the foundations of fashion, how to support yourself through this process, how to become an expert at styling yourself, and how to show up for yourself in both your fashion choices and your life. This downloadable PDF is 66 pages filled with a step-by-step process for finding your style! It includes links to further resources, and is viewable digitally. Print it out to do the activities, although you might want a separate notebook for some journaling and reflection, as well as to take personal notes. It's interactive and engaging, and you might learn a lot about yourself as you discover your personal style. What a fabulous way to head into your new self! Ready to start?

They're the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe! Make sure they're working for you, not against you. Some tips to make finding the right piece easier: Take your time when shopping for foundations and never settle because you're overwhelmed. Stop and take a breather (or get a bevvie!) if needed. Have a professional bra fitting. Yes, it's intimate and yes, it makes all the difference. Look for quality - price does matter. Take your outfit with you if you're looking for a specific piece to go under it. Shop with a friend to make it a fun outing! Be brave and try a different style or design.

Tailoring isn't just about getting a custom suit made or altering your wedding dress. It's also about fitting off-the-rack clothes to your specific shape. Tailoring takes a good piece and makes it fabulous, and can save a piece that needs repair. To get the most from tailoring: It's a relationship! Start off with smaller, minor alterations to see how they work before you give them a complex piece. Ask for a cost estimate before you go in for your fitting. Wear the proper undergarments or shoes at your fitting, and take any accessories that need to be considered. Be patient and plan ahead. They need time to do the job properly, plus seasonal demand around weddings, prom, and the holidays slow their turnaround times. Find a specialist if your alterations are complex, like beading or silk. Try your items on when you pick them up to make sure they don't need any further alterations. Learn how to do basic repairs (buttons and small tears especially!) that don't need a tailor.
