Ann

I met with Ali to go over my closet and try to update a tired feeling wardrobe to fit a body that had gained weight after several serious medical problems. I used to have what I thought was a decent sense of fashion but at this time I sure wasn't feeling terrific, to say the least. I was ready to do something about my wardrobe at long last but felt unable to just do it myself. What could have been so difficult instead turned into a totally delightful experience with Ali! She is amazing -...

Jocelyn

I am a stay-at-home mom, needing functional but wanting classic-looking clothes, and Ali went through my closet piece by piece, helping me figure out what to keep and what to purge. She showed me how to put some outfits together in ways that I hadn't thought of, and showed me how, with the addition of a few key pieces, I could create a wardrobe that would really meet my needs. We looked up some stores online, and found some that carry tall clothes that I had never known about. We also picked...

Shahpari

Hi Ali, You are SUCH a star! I can not believe you managed to find me the absolute last Donna Karan skirt in petrol green from last season AND in my size, petite! I would have been so happy if you had even found a small or medium and would have altered it. I now have a complete outfit and am SO happy about it. I had been hunting everywhere for it and asked the sales associates in London to call everywhere, but they could not find it or, could not be bothered as all the items are on sale and...

Karen

Ali is one of the best presents I got for myself! I am a shopaholic with obsessive compulsive disorder! Closets full of clothes, many with tags still on them, and clothes I had before my daughter was born (she is an adult now) in complete chaos. With all this shopping and clothes I could not part with - I often felt I never had anything to wear and panicked when it came to packing for a trip. I usually wore the same things all the time. Enter Ali! She made me feel immediately comfortable and...

Marsha

Ali is a very talented observer of fashion, with her keen eye for style, current but excellent quality that will always be in style. She has a talent for everything fashion..to excellent tailoring, shoe and handbag repair and restoring. She will also take you to the right restaurants for lunch after a hectic day of shopping. She was most helpful to me when I got divorced and moved from a home with many closets to a studio apt. She went into my closets and threw away years of outdated...

Jamie

Going through my closet and shopping are typically stressful and overwhelming for me. Ali made the experience fun! She was quickly able to assess my look and my comfort zone. She then helped me find clothes that are fashionable and consistent with who I am. I know we found some pieces that I treasure and I know that getting dressed each day will be so much easier

Jerry

I am most certainly a stylishly-challenged nerd, far more comfortable in tattered jeans and a big floppy sweatshirt than khakis and a sports coat. Picking an appropriate outfit for different occasions has always mystified me. I am more likely to win the lottery than identify a good combination of colors and patterns. I think you get the picture. Both my interest and aptitude in fashion is low. Imagine my "thrill" when my wife presented me with a birthday gift of what she described as a few...

Bonnie L

I received a Right Up Your Ali gift certificate for my 71st birthday from my daughters. They were tired of avoiding my pleas for fashion help. I was so nervous at the thought a stranger seeing my closet and all the clothing I have accumulated over the years. Ali arrived at my house and I was stressed. She quickly put me at ease by talking and asking me questions. She went through my closet of clothing and shoes. It seemed so easy to decide what I needed to keep and what would be donated. I...

Rebecca

Cleaning out my closet is a job that I dread. I decided that it would never get done unless I got help. That's where Ali came in. What to keep? What to throw? With her very calm, non-judgmental manner, we went through clothing, shoes, and pocketbooks. Though some items were truly old, she just quietly commented that maybe this one or that one was "a little dated". She listened to my hesitations on some, and respected my reasons for keeping the odd piece or two. However, I also respected her...

Susie

From the start, Ali made me feel at ease. She took a moment to get to know me before we hit my closet. She did not ask me to part with clothes that were still wearable, but did have a good sense of what was truly outdated or didn't look great on me. Ali showed me how to put outfits together and organized my closet so that I wouldn't overlook items that could go together well. It was like discovering a whole new wardrobe! She also suggested what to tailor and a few items to buy to round out my...

What Do I Do?

I Upgrade Your Closet Inventory!

How often do you stand in front of your closet asking that question? Oh yes, that’s your closet. The one that’s full of clothes. The clock is ticking. And you have nothing to wear. So you pull something, anything, out, put it on, and perhaps you spend the rest of the day feeling just a little self conscious. Are these pants flattering? Do these things work together? Are they appropriate? Do they fit well? Are they too tight? Are they a little uncomfortable? Why, when you have a closet full of clothes, is it so difficult? And no matter how often you shop, no matter how much money you spend, why are you standing in front of your closet again wondering what to do?

I work closely with top retailers to find what is right for you and to get the right fit. Here is a sample of the services I offer. If there is something I didn’t cover, just ask!
