Introduction: My work stands out from others because I'm all about cultivating relationships with my clients. It's really important to me that my clients feel comfortable and not only have a fantastic experience with me, but come out feeling great about themselves. I get to know all of my clients as we work together and I can decide what will compliment their body and their personality. I make sure to style them in looks that suit them, not me, not just because it's trending. At the same time, staying current and modern. We work together in transforming their outward appearance with a more polished look increasing their self-confidence and positive attitude. It's all about helping them stay authentic to who they are and creating their own personal style. I love versatility, in life and clothing. I like to get the most for my money so I make sure to find pieces that can be worn many ways. I show my clients how to get multiple looks out of one piece by accessorizing and styling. I full-heartedly believe that your wardrobe and your style directly reflects who you are, your lifestyle, and how you feel about yourself. You should be wearing the clothing not the other way around. I am extremely passionate about helping others. I love the look on my clients' faces when we are done working together and they realize how great they look and feel! Most people just need a little insider information. It warms my heart!

Wardrobe Consulting

I absolutely love working with Allie. I tend to dress on the safe side so I told her my goal was to be a more fun version of myself. I needed great work pieces but I didnt want them to be boring so I knew this would be a challenge. She was able to hone in on my own personal style, mix the funky pieces that I love, and help me translate the trends in a way that worked with my body type. I told her exactly what I was looking for and she hit the nail right on the head! Almost everything she picked for me was exactly what I wanted!! I really love that she is always looking out for me! She'd text me when she something she'd think I'd like...."I think you'll love this!" and tell me where to get it. She knows exactly what she is doing! I love having her as my stylist and wardrobe consultant.

When I hired Allie I wasnt really sure what to expect but I knew I was in need of a change and needed help building a workable wardrobe. Based on the goals that I set with her in our initial consultation she had a creative vision. First we tackled my closet. By the end we had 4 huge bags of clothing! She enlightened me on how to wear the pieces I already own and make them more on-trend. We set a shopping list for staple pieces. When we were out shopping she would explain each piece and how I would style it for everyday or special events. Some of the things that I wasnt so sure about on the trip I actually went back a week later to buy without her. She let me decide and never pushed me into anything, which I loved! Allie made the experience enjoyable for me with her humor and positive attitude. She continues to give me advise and tips even after our session ended. I am still able to send her pictures of things before I buy them because I know how much she cares about each and every client and how they look. I love getting compliments on my outfits. One of my new co-workers said to me the other day that she loved how funky my style was! The outcome of this whole process was absolutely priceless.

Allie has a great sense of style and understanding of my needs as a retired, young, senior. I am still very active, but also need more than just sportswear for those dinners and evenings out. Allie is terrific at understanding my fashion needs and how to help me make the best decisions for my body type. She is outstanding at coordinating what I already own with new style and design trends. In the long run, with Allie's expert advice, I have made "smart" decisions about my wardrobe that have in fact been more financially wise too. I highly recommend her. Not only will you look and feel great, but the money she'll save you by not making costly wardrobe errors might come in handy elsewhere.

Allie is a tremendous asset as a Personal Stylist. She came in and gave me a closet audit identifying pieces that need to go and where my gaps are in my wardrobe. Allie was very helpful in selecting fabrics for my custom shirts. Her measurements were spot on and the shirts came out beautifully. She has a very good eye for details, right down to the buttons we selected for the shirts. Allie also was a tremendous asset on a personal shopping occasion going from store to store with me, helping me fill out the gaps in my wardrobe. While I was in the fitting room, she would provide me options from the floor on various outfits that go together. In the end, my wardrobe is complete and very flexibly. I am a very satisfied client of hers and can highly recommend Allie for your wardrobe needs.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Wardrobe clients will sign into one of my signature style programs. Once they complete their initial program they have lot's of options for continued support. All programs pricing, exclusive seasonal discounts and freebies lives on my website so make sure to explore :)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Everyone is different and has different needs. I would say the most common process would be as follows: Clients will book a 30 discover call to chat. This is where we get to know each other and clients share their style goals. Once they register into their program I share my questionnaire which helps me understand who they are as a person. We schedule our in person sessions and virtual upfront so we have an outline to follow over the next few months. Some fun notes of the process are listed here: The wardrobe audit is where I review clients' entire wardrobe and discuss how to style pieces, what they should donate and what they need. I take pictures of looks they love to create a look book for them to keep as well as I make a list of must-have wardrobe items to round out their looks. Next, based on the list I created, and within their budget, I research stores and plan a shopping trip to get those "must-have" pieces. We have lots of fun with virtual lookbooks and finish up with an in-person style session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
