There are many reasons why you may want to rebuild your wardrobe. Whether you need a fresh start, your body has changed, you are in search of a new personal brand, or you’ve always hated shopping, this process will get you back on track to loving yourself and your wardrobe.
This three step process is guarenteed to:
Wardrobe Consultation + Closet Clean Out
$549 for a 4 hour closet clean out ($100 for every additional hour)
The closet clean out service gives you the ultimate fresh start and helps you build the right foundation for your wardrobe. Finding your new personal style and feeling your best starts with shedding some of those old items that no longer serve a purpose.
The clothes that will no longer be staying in the wardrobe will be taken to a local consignment shop or donated. If you earn money back for your clothing items, that amount will be credited towards your next styling service.
Online Shopping List + Ordering
Full List: $600 for a list of 25-30 items
Mini List: $300 for a list of 12-15 items
After the closet clean out is complete, we will take an audit of your current wardrobe. From there will be make notes including what to purchase. We will then use these notes to create a very intentional and personalized shopping list. These items will compliment the pieces that you already own.
After receiving your online shopping list, you can pick and choose what you would like to purchase. This allows you to be in control of your budget and gives you a say in what you decide to purchase.
In Home Styling Session + Lookbook Creation
Full Styling Session: $500 for a 2.5 hour in home styling appointment
Mini Styling Session: $250 for a 1 hour in home styling appointment
(both options include a complimentary digital lookbook)
Once you’ve reviewed your shopping list and ordered your new pieces, we will schedule your next in person appointment. This appointment will entail making sure what you ordered fits correctly, is flattering and would be good investments for your wardrobe.
After reviewing what arrived in the mail, we will start creating outfits with your new items and the items you already own. Want to remember these looks? Don’t worry, we will photograph each outfit for you and put together a digital lookbook for you to reference in the future.
We will wrap up this appointment with a 30 minute closet clean out to get rid of any items that stuck around and no longer need to.
This three step process is a great starting point for most clients who have never worked with a personal stylist. However, you do not need to do all three of these steps. Book an introductory call with us and we can help you determine what the best services would be for you!
TESTIMONIALS
Where do I start?
Whether you are 100% ready to go or you have a few questions for us, you can get in touch by filling out a form on our contact page. You can expect to hear back from us within 1-2 business days.
Does the personal styling fee include the cost of new clothing?
The prices listed on our website only cover our services and expertise. You will be responsible for purchasing the clothing items, however we will work with you to find items within your specific budget.
How far do you travel for appointments?
We will travel as far as needed, however we do charge a travel fee.
If we are traveling via car more than 25 miles outside of our home office, it will be a base fee of $30. If you are living more than 40 miles outside of our home office it will be a base fee of $30 plus an additional fee of $.75/mile.
If a flight is needed, we ask that the flight is covered along with an additional travel fee. More information will be provided upon request.
What stores do you shop at?
The stores we choose to shop at depend on our client’s budget, personal style, and size. However, it is a priority of ours to find stores that offer a great experience and product. We prefer to help our client’s buy quality over quantity.
If we are providing you with a virtual shopping list, we will review the store’s return policy ahead of time to make sure you have a seamless online shopping experience.
How much money should I budget for new clothes?
This depends on what you feel comfortable with and the size of the shopping list. We offer full virtual shopping lists of 20-25 items as well as mini shopping lists that include 7-10 items.
For a full shopping list (20-25 items) I would recommend budgeting $1,000 ($50/item x 20 items) -$3,750 ($150/item x 25 items).
If you prefer a higher end shopping list with designer items I would suggest budgeting $5,000-$10,000.
You are not required to purchase the entire list or to spend a certain amount.
How much time does the three step process take?
The timeline will fluctuate depending on your flexibility and how busy we are during that specific time of year. However, from step 1 (closet clean out) until our final step 3 (in home styling), this process will roughly take 4-6 weeks.
How far out are you booking?
We are typically booking 2-3 weeks out. If you have weekday availability during regular business hours (M-F 10am-5pm) we can schedule you sooner rather than later. If you need weekend appointments, it may take additional time to schedule you.
Do I have to pay for all of the services at once?
You do not need to pay for all of the desired services at once. We invoice per service and do require that the invoice is paid before the appointment time. So if you are interested in our 3 step process, we would invoice you $549 before your closet clean out, $500 before the shopping apt or list is created, and then another $500 invoice before your final styling session in person.
This process allows you to spread out the three payments over the course of 4-6 weeks. However, if you would like to keep it simple and pay for all three services at once time, that is an option as well.
Do you have experience working with people of different sizing or body challenges?
100% yes. This is what makes our team great at what we do! We believe to be a great personal stylist, you should have experience working with different sizes, body shapes, and physical challenges. We work with all people, of all ages, and all sizes.
How does the virtual shopping list work? Who handles the returns?
We will use our wardrobe checklist to create a very intentional and personalized shopping list. These items will compliment the pieces that you already own. After receiving your online shopping list, you can pick and choose what you would like to purchase. This allows you to be in control of your budget and gives you a say in what you decide to purchase.
The online shopping list will be created using a Google doc. This will allow us to communicate with each other about the list. There is a place for you to check off what you decide to purchase.
You will be in charge of making the purchases online and you will also be responsible for any returns or exchanges that need to take place. We will guide you in making these decisions and help you stay organized with your orders along the way.
What does a long term relationship with your team look like?
We suggest that all clients work with us for a year to begin with. That could look like completing our 3 step process or working with us on our capsule wardrobe offerings.
After completing our initial three step process, we suggest returning from another season. We recommend that all clients work with us for a fall/winter session and spring/summer session.
Once you have completed both seasons, we recommend mini shopping lists seasonally. These mini lists include 7-10 new items to keep your wardrobes updated and fresh.
We have some clients that prefer to shop on their own, and have us come over for a monthly or bimonthly lookbook session.
We are also available for any event/special occasion styling requests. Whether it’s a photoshoot, gala, wedding, vacation, you name it and we’re happy to work with you!
What happens if I am not satisfied with this process?
We have a satisfaction guaranteed type of business and we believe in our ability to help people. If you are not pleased with your experience, we ask that you be open and honest with us first. We will go the second mile and do what we believe is fair to turn your experience around. If you are still not pleased with our extra efforts, we would refund your payment.
This has not happened with any of our clients thus far and don’t believe you would be the first. If you would like to read some client testimonials, please reference our Google reviews.
