FULL-SERVICE STYLING 101

Maybe you hate shopping, aren’t sure where to start or just don’t have time for it. If any of those sound like you, you’re a good candidate for my full-service styling option. But what exactly do you get with this upgraded service?

Step 1: New Client Questionnaire & Interview

Just like with a Digital Styling, once you’ve chosen a package and decided on Full-Service Styling as your delivery method, I’ll ask you to fill out a New Client Questionnaire. This is a pretty extensive form that will help me understand your styling goals, your shopping history, your budget comfort, your sizing, and more.

Next, we’ll schedule time in person or over the phone for me to ask clarifying questions about your form answers and take a peek inside your closet. This all helps me get a sense for your style & narrow down my search!

Step 2: Inspiration

I like to start with something for inspiration, especially if I’m working on a styling for a special occasion. A dress you’ve worn before and loved, a pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing for months, a celebrity whose style you admire, etc.

Steps 3 & 4: Shopping & Final Styling Delivered

Now it’s time for me to get started doing what I do best! Depending on your package, I’ll start to pull together a number of looks based on your style & needs.

This is where a Full-Service Styling really starts to deviate from a Digital Styling. Once I’m satisfied with the items I’ve selected for you, I’ll place orders from various retailers & schedule a time to come over to your house to try everything on. A try-on session usually takes about two hours and is a ton of fun - so much so, that people sometimes pop a bottle of bubbly and invite a friend or family member to come over for the fashion show! I’ll have everything unpacked and set up for you in the room of your choice, preferably close to your closet, so that you can try everything on and I can style the new items with shoes, jewelry, etc. from your own closet.

Whatever you decide you can’t live without I’ll leave with you then and there, and whatever you decide you don’t want to keep, I’ll take back with me and take care of the hassle of returns for you. Once it’s all said and done, I’ll send you a detailed invoice for the cost of the items you’ve kept.

This option takes all the financial burden off you - you won’t pay for anything until you know you love it, plus you don’t have to worry about missing return windows.

Final Step

I want to make sure you’re 110% satisfied with your final styling. Once I leave your house, I’ll let you know the drop dead date to change your mind on what you’ve kept - whether you’re second guessing a splurge item or rethinking the size you need, if possible I will always try to exchange something for you. I want you to be thrilled with the newest additions to your closet!

If you’re tired of style, you’re tired of life.
