Dressing appropriately for different life situations doesn't have to be daunting.

With a little planning and understanding of each occasion's requirements, you can present yourself in the best possible light, no matter the event. That's why when we bring on a new personal styling client, shopping isn't the first step -- talking is.

Everybody’s got one – that perfect piece that lives in the back of your closet just waiting for the day when you’re perfect enough to wear it.

Let's chat about something we all do every day, but might not think much about – getting dressed. You have to do it. Every day. And even more than taking a shower or grabbing your first cup of coffee -- it has the power to affect your mood for the rest of the day.

You’re all picky!

And I love you.

Now, with all this pickiness, how do I make sure I find my clients dozens of clothes that make their hearts sing?

Learn all your pickiness during the first two Phases in my LGY Styling Process to deduce what trends, retailers, and styles will give you the look you want quickly and fit your body comfortably to make outfits easy and attractive.

Short term, it is easier to wear the same thing than deal with cleaning it. Long term, you're like I was: bored, annoyed, and overwhelmed when you just want to get dressed and feel happy to start your day. Which is why in my LGY Styling Process we edit your closets before we shop and make sure we keep anything that can be used for your ideal outfits.

I choose the exact items you need according to your body type so that you have your ideal closet and personal style built for you with zero time spent shopping on your behalf. You receive a selection that has you saying crazy things like “omg I loved so much I don’t know what to return” and “everything fits so well”.

No matter how many times you read must-have lists, when it comes to making outfits or shopping for clothes, you aren’t confident it looks as good or aren’t sure how to pull “it” off like you hoped. The problem isn’t that you don’t have the right body or that everything is designed to work better for another type of person.
