Testimonials

Cathy

Ali is extremely professional and knowledgeable at finding the best outfits to fit your every day needs. I was nervous about having a stranger and an expert go into my closet since I lack a sense of fashion, but she politely told me what clothes to keep and what not too keep. She also informed me on how I could mix and match my clothes for casual and fancy occasions. The second day that we met she took me shopping. I have never enjoyed shopping for clothes and was amazed at what clothes she...

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 She went into my closets and threw away years of outdated...

T.C.

I'd be the first to admit that I'm a little intimidated by fashion. I'm never entirely sure what's dated, what's current, and what goes with what. Add to that the fact that I'm no good at culling my closet, and you get an enormous closet (with some items more than 15 years old) and "nothing to wear." But after another round of I-just-bought-all-this-stuff-but-I-still-can't-get-dressed-in-the-morning, I finally realized that getting a professional to help me would probably save me both time and...

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....

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...

Sheila

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!

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...

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...

Nancy

I reached out to Ali via Thumbtack and she responded instantly. I had already read about her while Googling similar services in my area. So happy that she responded and we were able to connect. She came to my house promptly as scheduled, chatted with me for a bit as to what I hope to accomplish, my wardrobe style, etc and then she went to town on my closet. Knew exactly what to get rid of, what to consign, what to repair and what to keep. She organized everything, gave me styling tips and left...

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.

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!
