  • Linda D.

    Wardrobe Consulting

    I had a wonderful time working with Val. I came to her in need of work clothes, amongst some more stylish weekend wear and a few outfits for going out socially. I had lost some weight and desperately needed an update. In just one weekend I already feel so much more confidant about my image. It's unbelievable what a weekend with the right stylist can do. Working with Val is the best gift I could have given myself for the holidays and I cannot wait to see what we get next time. If you're thinking about working with a personal shopper don't hesitate. You won't regret working with Val. She's a gem.

    Hi Linda, Thank you for your kind words. I am so honored I got to be a part of your transformation process. I look forward to helping you rebuild your wardrobe and continuing to guide you and encourage you to try new things. See you soon!

  • Courtney M.

    Val worked with me to edit my closet, then shop for missing items. She was extremely professional and offered great suggestions. Val is resourceful, efficient, and terrific to work with! I was hesitant to work with a stylist but it was a great investment.

    Thank you, Courtney. I enjoyed our time together very much. Your closet is now not only organized, but filled with a great variety of sharp and stylish pieces that suit your lifestyle and your taste. Enjoy them all! I'm always here to help and hope to work together again soon!

    Wardrobe Consulting

    Based on my requirements, Valerie fulfilled every one of them. I needed a more professional looking wardrobe that I could mix and match. And I wanted to add color to my look. Her selections were spot-on and within my budget. I can't thank her enough. I love my new wardrobe. Val is the best! I highly recommend Shop with Val.

    Wardrobe Consulting

    Valerie has been excellent to work with so far. She is the epitome of professionalism, she is ruthlessly efficient, and she never misses a detail. I trusted her to replace my entire wardrobe and she delivered!

    Adam, you are a true rockstar! I can't believe we managed to build you a wardrobe (essentially from scratch!) in one (long!) day! Thank you for being so open-minded and patient throughout the process and putting your trust in me. You are truly a different person after this transformation, and I am so excited for your new beginning as you show off the best version of yourself. It's been an honor working with you.

    Wardrobe Consulting

    Val arrived early and selected all the items I tried on, making the most of our time. The items were versatile and allowed me to combine them for many different looks. Most of all, she worked with me to achieve a look that was stylish and yet comfortable for me. I highly recommend her.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
    Unlike many competitors, all of our rates are available on our website, shopwithval.com. There are no hidden fees. Wardrobe updates are available for $460 and include up to four hours of shopping. Other services like a Closet Consultation are offered at a flat rate of $395 (including up to 3 hrs) and a Home Rescue Visit (2 hr in-home session to build you a lookbook) is offered for $260. The best part is that if you are interested in more than one service or looking to work together on a regular basis, we offer a number of discounted packages that allow you to save up to 25% simply by purchasing your services together.
  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
    When working with a new client we like to learn as much as we can about them so that we can customize a plan that is catered to their needs. We send new clients a detailed questionnaire so that we can gather information regarding style preferences, measurements, and budget. This information allows us to select stores and designers that we feel would be a good match.
  • How did you get started doing this type of work?
    In 2010, our CEO, Valerie, was hired to help a friend in need after she had put on some weight and found herself in a style rut. After just a few hours together, she walked away with tons of new pieces that she kept saying, "I would have never picked this out myself, but I love it!" She was standing up a little taller and full of smiles and confidence. After having great success with her friend, Valerie realized it was time to put her shopping and styling skills to good use to help others the same way. A few months later, Shop With Val was born.
