I have always struggled with my clothing, even though I love to shop and try all of the trends. Purging, organizing and putting outfits together has never been easy, and I have over the course of them last several year tried to employ various people to help me with this. I’ve known Taissha (Tai) for a while now, and decided to reach out to her as one last attempt at my wardrobe and closet. I told her my goal was to love EVERYTHING in my closet, because at the time, while I had a ton of clothing I really didn’t like most of it. Taissha was attentive to everything I said and took notes and spent quite a bit of time with me via FaceTime prior to coming over. She helped me get rid of a ton of items, some of which she brought to various organizations for donations and got them out of my house. She was able to work with the clothing I had, as well as make suggestion of things I may want to add to my wardrobe. I’ve always had a specific thoughts towards items of clothing pertaining to seasons and she helped me get away from that! Doing this with her has helped me shop differently and really think about what I am actually going to wear versus what I think I will wear! Doing something like this has definitely been worth it!

Polina, thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you and I’m so glad I was able to help you with your shopping habits. My goal is to help people build better wardrobes and get them to love and want to wear every piece they own!

I had a great experience working with Taissha! I needed help updating my wardrobe with quality, age appropriate pieces. We took inventory of what I had, what needed to go, and what was missing for a complete, functional closet. With the personal shopping option, Taissha sent me a great assortment of items to choose from keeping my budget in mind, sending multiple options at different price points so I could decide where I wanted to be conservative and where I wanted to “splurge”. She also sent a checklist of exactly which items she felt were missing and needed to be added to my closet to make it complete. She was very accessible if I needed a quick reality check on an item I saw and wanted to purchase (targeted marketing sales are a weakness of mine). My closet is so much more cohesive now, and I’ve added high quality pieces I know I will wear for years because they’re classic enough to stand the test of time and be mixed and matched with basics or trendier pieces!

Tai is incredibly knowledgeable about all things fashion and has a realistic approach when making her style recommendations. She asks all of the right questions and can tell when you feel good about a piece or an outfit versus when it's not the right option for you even if you're not sure. I also really appreciated Tai's attention to detail and direct feedback during the closet audit which made the whole experience productive and transformative. Within 45 minutes, Tai uncovered which styles look best on my body and make me feel the most feminine, which was something I struggled to identify on my own. I love my newly refreshed closet! Now when I'm shopping, I am better at seeing the difference between a compulsive buy that will sit in my closet and collect dust vs. a strategic buy that I'll love and get lots of use out of. I highly recommend working with Tai!

I first partnered with Taishha in April 2021. Over the last 2 years I had dropped about 30 pounds and was a totally different size. I thought since I was going to have to redo my wardrobe, I would use this opportunity to create a capsule wardrobe, but I knew I needed direction and would benefit from the help of a professional stylist, enters Taissha.
Over the next few weeks, we cleaned out my closet, she created a curated shopping list for me, I went online shopping and we had a big dress up session where I learned how to pair items together, how to wear them and came to understand my body better.
I turned 50 in June and am quite happy with the simplified wardrobe she helped create for me. I am now the 2.0 version of myself. Working with Taissha is an investment in yourself.
I highly recommend Taissha. She is friendly, stylish, listens to your wants, but pushes you out of your comfort zone to open your eyes new styles and is honest with you.

Working with Tai was wonderful! She is quite knowledgeable when it comes to fashion and current trends. I was a bit nervous at first because I wasn’t sure that I would like the styles that were recommended but once Tai showed me how to wear certain pieces to make an outfit look clean and complete, I was more than happy! She is also very personable and easy to communicate with while still being 100% professional. I feel so confident about all of the new outfits that I have and I can’t wait to wear them all! I loved this styling experience and though I initially planned for this to be a one time thing, I plan on continuing to work with Tai so that I can continue to build the wardrobe that I have always dreamed of!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My goal is to help you identify your style so that we can build a wardrobe that you love. While doing so, I will make sure to stay within your budget. All of my packages are customizable and can be tailored to your needs while keeping budget in mind. I'm also running Holiday specials and packages starting as low as $75.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is to book a consultation (free of charge) so that I can get to know you better. The consultation will help me understand what your pain points are so that I can come up with a solution that best fits your needs. While my clients look to me for advice as an "expert," I look at this as a partnership in helping you build the wardrobe you deserve.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Keeping up with the latest trends has always been a creative outlet for me, so finding a place where I could share my favorite style moments is what drove me to create a style blog called The Forefront. It was a destination where readers could discover trends, jewelry, brands, and more. During the time I began managing my style blog, I would get questions from Family and Friends regarding their style, where to shop, and what pieces to buy. That gave me insight into styling and led me to transition into Wardrobe Consulting.
