Jessica

I was nervous about having someone in my closet, but knew something drastic needed to be done. I couldn't keep wearing my boyfriend's clothing and thinking I looked stylish. Ali quickly put me at ease. A couple of quick questions and into the closet we went. In no time flat she worked through my whole closet with me - discarding, organizing and revitalizing. Items I never wore she gave me the confidence to wear and worked them into outfits. She also didn't make me throw everything out, I still...

"Organizing is simply something that does not come easy to me. I love having things perfectly organized but, no matter how many magazine articles I read, I find it a struggle to tackle a project. I recently did some work to my house and needed to move things out of my closet. I was overwhelmed at the thought of having to move things back. I certainly didn�t think I could ask anyone for help either. One of my friends told me not to think about it for another second, but, to call Ali. When I...

Sarita

It's been over two months since Ali and I spent 2 hours playing in my closet. I say "playing" because that's what it felt like -- I had so much fun! I am grateful to her on a daily basis. I walk into my closet and feel like I'm in a boutique -- it's so well organized! And I can pull an outfit together in no time! What is even more remarkable is that this was accomplished without my having to buy a single item. I was quite certain that my wardrobe was incredibly outdated as I tend to be a bit...

Kate

Working with Ali has been such an amazing experience as she takes the time to understand what you are trying to accomplish with your personal style and then helps you build it. It is great to be able to work with someone who can share with you what types of clothes, styles and colors will look best on you and also has the ability to shop within a budget as well. I view Ali as my trusted advisor when it comes to my style and I know this because my experience and time with her are not just when...

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...

Wendy

For 20 plus years, I had felt drab and uninspired about my clothes and my appearance. I finally made the decision to hire a stylist, someone who could help me to achieve a better look and to feel more confident. I found Ali and she is wonderful. She is a perfect advocate for someone like myself. I wore the same old clothes, and I had lost my motivation to explore my own closets and see which of my clothes I could preserve or rid myself of. Ali is perceptive and she will get a feeling of who...

Sue

My husband and daughters gave me a gift certificate for a closet and wardrobe makeover with Ali for Mother's Day. To be honest, I was a bit stressed out by the process. But the minute Ali arrived, I was completely relieved. Ali was so helpful in clearing out the clothing that wasn't doing me any favors and in helping me think about what new things I need to complete my wardrobe. But she did it all with an awareness of who I am and what my lifestyle is. We followed up the closet makeover with a...

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...

Elaine

I accomplished more in enhancing my wardrobe in 2 hours with Ali, than I would have managed in 2 weeks on my own. That alone would have made her worth every penny. Better still is that with her advice and support, I have more confidence that not only will I not regret any of my purchases now that they're home, but I'm genuinely looking forward to showing off my improved 'look' this summer! I never felt rushed but somehow we managed to cover a lot of ground in our time together. She just made...

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...

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!
