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 got right to what I was looking for from her services.
She quickly helped me lose the clothes that I did not need, or that just did not work, advised me on what to do with them, determined what clothes needed to be tailored so, they would work (Ali told me exactly how she would modify them and gave me the name of a great tailor) and organized my closet in a way so, I see my clothes in a coordinated way.
She helped me rediscover some of my best clothing that I never wore anymore because of a career change and taught me how to wear them in my current lifestyle.
After our first session, I could not recognize how clean and functional my closet was and how excited I was to start getting dressed again. Ali suggested just 3 things I needed to complete my wardrobe and instantly update many things I have. One suggestion was a pair of boots and Ali actually found the perfect pair for me, on sale, and brought them to me. I love the boots and cannot believe how they have changed the way I look and feel. I would have never have thought of it and I consider myself fashion savvy.
I was so excited about our first session that I asked Ali to come back and help me shop in my closet. She put together both classic and on trend outfits that I would never have thought of with her great fashion sense and expertise. We wrote down many of the combinations and I often refer to my notes. I am wearing clothes that I never knew what do with (results of a lot of impulse shopping) in the way I always wanted to, but, needed Ali’s fashion skills. She helped me accessorize and gave me some fashion fundamentals that have allowed me to revisit my clothes again and actually wear them. I have so much fun dressing everyday and am enjoying all the compliments!
My husband even noticed the change in my everyday dressing and commented on how much he liked it. He said he wished he felt better in his clothes, that were not his work suit uniform. He was definitely in a rut; Dad jeans, etc.! For the holidays I gave him a casual clothes intervention with Ali. He loved it! Ali made him feel completely comfortable and they went through his clothes (she also quickly went through his work wardrobe and made some helpful suggestions) and got a sense of what he was looking for and his style. They went off shopping and he came back a complete and coordinated wardrobe all in one afternoon! That is exactly how my husband likes to shop. He enjoys wearing his new clothes, that he would never have seen himself in and looks great.
Whether you need to build a wardrobe or make your clothing work in new ways, Ali can do it. I was really impressed with how comfortable and confident she is to work with and that she can adapt and work with different age groups, body types and budgets.
I highly recommend her and you will look better and save money when you use her services that she customizes to work for your individualized needs.
