5 signs you need to work with a Personal Stylist
Working with a personal stylist is only a luxury for the rich and famous. FALSE! Actually, it’s a necessity for you IF… You want to be strategic with your image to position yourself for success – but don’t possess the skills to do that yourself You don’t want to waste money on clothes you don’t end up wearing You want to be efficient with your time when it comes to shopping and getting ready on a daily basis It is often more expensive not to work with a personal stylist when you’ve spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars on clothing that’s just hanging unworn in your closet, because you don’t love it, don’t feel good in it and therefore don’t wear it.

So you think it fits? The WOW Factor Part 1
Average, ordinary, invisible. These are NOT words that describe how most people want to look…but many find themselves slipping into this territory and losing touch with what it takes to SHOW UP and be noticed on a daily basis. What’s missing? What we like to call the “WOW Factor.” That little pop to your outfit that makes you memorable.

He wore glasses that were conservative and more of a non-statement than anything else. This was nothing like the same man I had watched perform a song in front of a large audience with a vibrant and engaging presence. I wondered, where was the disconnect? He came to me for personal styling and identity work with the goal of improving his personal image and increasing dating prospects. Before I met with him, I had asked him to bring 5-7 favorite pictures from art, architecture and nature. I call this exercise the Favorites Effect. This simple exercise is remarkably telling. When you describe why you like […]
