Testimonials

Sheila R

Ali was wonderful. We spent two hours going through my clothes and organizing my closet. Made piles for tailor, donation and consignment. Well worth the money - have some new ideas for outfits and feel like I have a new wardrobe without going shopping. She's also available to go shopping - will do that in the future for more fall clothes. Highly recommend!

Debbie

I heard about Ali from a friend who lives in Boston. I live in St. Louis, so I asked Ali whether she would offer me consulting services over the internet and phone. I had recently started a new job and needed to update my professional wardrobe. Ali was enthusiastic, flexible, efficient, and sensitive to my individual needs. I gave her some basic information about my lifestyle, wardrobe gaps, and budget and sent her a couple photos of myself. She talked with me about ideas over the phone and...

Martha

Ali is so talented! I was getting so tired of wearing my uniform of black pants/top/jacket to work so I asked her to help me brighten up my look for summer. She went through my whole summer wardrobe and shoes, quickly deciding if I should keep the item or give it away. Then we went shopping at Bloomingdales particularly to find work dresses. She has such an eye for choosing clothing that will flatter and look beautiful. I was able to perk up my whole closet both work and casual in an...

"Right Up Your Ali" is not just a cute play on words for Ali's business: it defines the way she approaches her clients! From the first time we met, Ali "got" me she understood what kind of style I (hope to) have. By asking just a few questions including where I generally shop already, what kind of lifestyle (job, weekends, events) I have, what styles I like -- she has helped me figure out how bring the style I want to life. Over the past couple of years, we have found everything from a dress...

Karen

I had a great experience working with Ali. It was easy to schedule the appointment. Ali came to my apartment one weekend afternoon to do a wardrobe review. I found it quite helpful as I'm in the process of losing weight and I needed advice on what still worked and what needed to go. Ali worked fast! We went through my whole closet in 2 hrs. We purged a lot and kept a lot. Ali gave good advice, was pleasant and fun to interact with and did a great job helping me determine what's next. She was...

Amy

Worth every penny! In just under 3 hours, my closet is now color coordinated, and arranged by season, and a work-only section. With everything so organized I feel like my wardrobe doubled, even though I am sending a huge pile of clothes off for donation. Ali worked with me to make choices about keeping some items I was ready to get rid of by showing me new ways to wear them. And, we talked about a few key items I might add to my wardrobe.

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...

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...

Sarah

To anyone who doesn't understand why you might pay someone to go through your wardrobe and shop for you, I understand. You spend enough money buying clothes, how could you pay for someone to pick things out for you doesn't that seem lazy and extravagant? The short answer is NO. For starters, what Ali does, I couldn't do and even if I could, it would take me all day to even come close. I show up and she already has things picked out and what I LOVE is she is the first one to be completely...

Tricia

Ali - I really liked that you didn't want to ditch everything that I own and worked with what I had. You didn't try to impose " your" style on me. You were very easy to talk with about style and you had great suggestions on what things to add and where I could shop for those things. I also appreciate that you recognized that we don't all have the same "budget" for clothing and I didn't feel that you were "high end" only. You suggested other reasonable options like Banana Republic and J.Crew....

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!
