STYLING SERVICES

Closet Consultations

Got a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? Heather will go through your entire wardrobe to identify the pieces that work for you and those that don't. Choose from two levels of service according to your needs.

Option #1: This is a straightforward vetting of all the items in your closet. You'll get advice on what should stay and what should go, and why, as well as helpful insights into the best colors and styles for you based on your lifestyle, preferences, shape, etc. You won't try on everything, but be prepared to put on a few items to see how they fit. You'll also receive Heather's valuable advice on "defensive shopping." This is a good option if you want to try out her services. A session usually lasts about two hours.

Option #2: This includes the same thorough vetting of your wardrobe as option #1, but Heather will also create new outfits with what you have left. This is helpful if you don't have a lot of money to spend on new pieces right now or if you think you can get more out of your existing wardrobe but aren't sure how. Plan on three to four hours.


Shopping Guidance

If you get overwhelmed easily while shopping, feel like you buy the same things over and over again, or just don't know what you should get, Heather will come with you and help you through the process. She'll introduce you to the concept of "defensive shopping," explain how to get the most out of a shopping trip, give feedback on your choices, and guide you to smart buys based on your budget, taste, and lifestyle. Rates vary; contact Heather directly for details.

 

Personal Shopping

The ultimate luxury! After getting to know you and your style with a closet consultation and a shopping session together, Heather can do your shopping for you, bringing items to your home or office for your approval. Monthly or seasonal retainer service is also available.

 

One client's testimonial:

"Heather left me armed for the most important (and at the same time daunting) task of 'bringing it all together.' A little over 24 hours after our session commenced, I had not only a laundry list of pieces to look for when shopping but actual pictures of what she thought would work with my style and existing wardrobe. You can't ask for much more than that!"--Camille, Fox River Grove
