DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE MISSING THE FASHION GENE?
It’s so easy for your friends and colleagues to put together polished outfits, but whatever you try your outfits just fall flat. You may have tried subscription boxes, hunted pinterest for outfits ideas, went shopping for a bunch of new pieces (but shopping stresses you out too), … you’ve even bought the whole entire outfit the mannequin was wearing at a mall store. But nothing seems to work. Every time you get invited to go somewhere it causes you and your family stress. You own plenty of nice clothes, but you can’t put together outfits that you are excited to wear.
What if I told you there was an easier way…
A strategic style plan and the end result is having preplanned outfits that look great on you!
WHO’S IT FOR
Female leaders that are tired of being overwhelmed by their closets. You can put together a killer proposal like nobodies business or plan a seminar with 500 attendees with your eyes closed, but can’t put together a polished outfit if your life depended on it.
You love strategy, order, and facts… and fashion is the exact opposite of everything you enjoy. What if there was system to get dressed… a formula that once you learn it will always be relevant to you, even if you lose weight, change careers, or you switch hair colors!
HOW IT WORKS
Week 1 - Who you are, Who you need to be, & Who you want to be
What you wear is the largest part of non-verbal communication and a tool to get people to know, like, and trust you.
· Through my proven method, we define and refine your personal style
· We discuss your professional & personal goals (dress for the life you want is a real thing)
· We outline 5 different situations that happen in your life and discuss how you want to look, feel, and accomplish in each of them (we will use these later to create outfits)
Week 2 - Style Discovery
· Style clarification- you receive a moodboard which is pictorial view of how I see you dressing in all of your life situations
· Learn how to dress for your body type. Everyone has their own unique formula to dress proportionally so you can look your best
· Learn which colors make you look like you just went on vacation, and which colors to avoid because they make you as if you forgot to put on make-up
Week 3 – Shop Your Closet
· With my guidance we go through your closet and find pieces that you own, but may not be using as efficiently you can.
· Through technology, I help you figure out if you should be keeping questionable items and show you new ways to wear them.
** if you don’t like anything if your closet and want a complete overhaul, we will use this time to work on that**
Week 4 & 5 - Shopping
· I create a shopping list of items that will elevate your wardrobe
· Using my virtual closet app, you receive links of where to purchase the exact items to purchase… of course, keeping in mind your style, budget, and what looks good on you
· Review of the items once you receive them, to ensure everything is flattering on you
Week 6 - Outfit Creation
· Creating preplanned outfits using the pieces you already own and your new items
· Planned outfits for each previously outlined situation will be available on your mobile device.
· All outfits will be created keeping in mind your personal style and to flatter your body type

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Melanie is a true professional who absolutely KNOWS how to style her client’s. I’ve not had any sense of style or ability to figure out what works for my body type. After losing a very significant amount of weight I decided NOW was the time to invest in me. I couldn’t have made a better choice and I am even complemented on my outfits now (that’s never happened). If you’re unsure about hiring a virtual stylist choose Melanie, you will not be disappointed.” Nikki F; Prescott, AZ
" Ah! That makes sense to me now. And I love these colors! I read through your guidelines more thoroughly this morning and I'm loving what I see. I feel like you've confirmed some things that I kind of knew but wasn't totally confident about (like colors) but then opened my eyes to some things I wasn't aware of (for example, I've struggled with cardigans but hadn't thought to try cropped ones) " Christie L; Boston, MA
“Honestly Melanie, I had no idea how important my coat was in my day-to-day until I talked to you. I’m so happy with my purchases. I keep thinking now about mustering the strength to embrace accessories and focusing the right colors for clothes. I’m so excited to keep working with you!!" Erin H; Chicago IL
“Melanie changed my life!!! I had no sense of style and zero interest in shopping or fashion, I thought I was hopeless(!!), but I decided enough was enough dressing like a slob every day. Melanie helped me build a whole new wardrobe and showed me the most flattering clothing types, colors and patterns for my body and skin tone. She is one of the kindest people who is truly great at what she does. She's patient and challenged me to step outside my comfort zone without ever being pushy. She really understood me, my age, the time in my life I was going through and what I was trying to achieve; She never pushed a style on me that wasn't me or that I wasn't comfortable with. Melanie made the entire process so comfortable and judgment-free and was the easiest person in the world to talk to and confide in - I felt like I could trust her and talk to her like a close friend. Not only do I feel more confident and put together in my outfits, but I look at clothing completely differently now - I can go into a store and recognize what could look good on my body and I actually enjoy shopping and finding pieces that I can feel good about wearing. I love getting dressed now and thinking about how to put together outfits. Everything I've gained is far beyond any outcome I could have ever thought possible when I first went into the process. Hiring Melanie was one of the best decisions I've EVER made and has completely transformed my life - if you are even thinking about hiring a stylist don't hesitate another moment to see what she can do for you. I have recommended her to all my friends and family, and cannot wait to hire her again for my next season's wardrobe!!!” Sara T; NY, New York
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m busy… Will I have time for this?
Yes…. you may need to make some time, but all of this can be done around your schedule and is broken down into bite size manageable steps. Remember this is important stuff and will save you time in the long run. Looking polished and feeling confident in your clothing is what helps you land the next client, meet a new connection, and you get to stop wasting your time figuring out what to wear.
What if we have a different style?
This process has nothing to do with me and my style and everything to do with YOU... your goals, your lifestyle and your style!!!!
I would say about 5% of my clients have a similar style/ lifestyle to myself... and even the ones with a similar style dress a little differently than I do. I work with clients whose age range from 20s-70s, they live all over the county, and have completely different careers ( CEOs, work from home Compute Programers, Scientists, Lawyers, and Surgeons to name a few)
It's my job to help you define and refine your personal style... I take the information you give me and ask lots of questions... I am also REALLY good at reading between the lines and figuring out things you are not able to verbalize. There are also a few check points throughout the process to confirm I am understanding your style :)
I’ve tried subscription boxes and they stressed me out… how is this different?
Using subscription boxes is like talking to a friend when something is troubling you instead of going to a therapist. A friend will support you, let you talk about it, and maybe give you some ideas but they’re not going to ask you the profound and important questions that a therapist would. Similarly, these subscription services are going to ask surface-level questions and give you surface-level suggestions. You will not learn how to do the work for yourself to make a real change in your wardrobe.
How much will it cost for the clothes to take my wardrobe to the next level?
When we start this process we put together a budget and discuss what you typical spend of specific items. Since this is an educational process, I will show and explain the differences between items in different price points especially if it’s an item you will expecting a lot from like a perfectly tailor pair of black pants. I have clients that have spent $500 on new items and others that have spent $2,000. Through this process, I always try to make the most of what you already own and stick within your budget.
What if I don’t like any of my clothes and want to start from scratch?
I’m sure you have a few pieces that can transition into your wardrobe, like a black t-shirt and a sweater. If you it’s best on focusing on new items, then we can definitely do that.
