Working with Naina was an incredible experience…read more Going into the experience I was hoping to understand 1) how to reshape my wardrobe to have all pieces I was excited about, and knew how to style, b) how to shop more intentionally and experience less decision fatigue when shopping, c) learn how to play around with layers and know some new brands that were high quality but wouldn't break the bank, and d) feel confident in being able to identify the kinds of clothing cuts that would flatter my figure (general guidelines of what to stay away from, what to gravitate towards, etc.). Naina provided all of this hands down, and more. An added bonus was I learned a lot about how to transition outfits from day to night - how to use pieces in many more ways than one. After our session I was able to confidently clean out my closet and identify clothing pieces for donation, have some go to brands to buy the pieces we identified were missing, and my favorite part I had a digital look book going. It is such a great point of reference and makes getting ready so much easier. I also really appreciated how Naina's advice and insights were not anchored on uber trendy fads. I felt like I was learning how to dress with a classic, modern feel but while also learning how to have my own personal style (I really love color and fun textures in clothes and she helped me learn how to build that in). Everything clothing and wardrobe is finally fun for me, instead of a point of stress and feeling "meh". I will also say, Naina made herself available for a month after our sessions so we could keep emailing, adding links to the Pinterest board we created, I could show her pics of the outfits I was styling on my own, and get feedback. This was awesome - really helped build up my confidence that I was able to integrate the new things I learned and could take the new approach and run with it! I cannot say enough good things - don't hesitate working with her!

Naina goes through the effort of getting to know your ideal style, working with your existing clothes and helps you look polished and sharp for any occasion.

I hired Monica because I was facing major transitions in my professional and personal life, and my…read morestyle didn't align with the path I was on. Monica certainly helped align both so that new opportunities became available to me, and I appeared confident in every room I showed up in.  With Monica's guidance, I learned to be more intentional about my outfit choices, to create a strategic framework for my purchases, and to find balance between the clothes that I wear professionally and socially. Prior to working with her, I had too many clothing options and nothing ever seemed quite right. She helped me realize that by making purchases based on (many) singular events, I wasn't giving myself the mental or physical space (in my closet) to see what I actually had and how I could use it in multiple ways. She fundamentally changed how I shop for clothes!  Lastly, the "emergency styling service" was an absolute lifesaver when I was tasked to interview a well-known author on a massive stage. We had less than 3 days to find something, and Monica worked her magic by going to the store, finding the perfect pieces, and having the established relationships to get the suit fully tailored in less than 24 hours. I appeared at Capitol One Hall in Tysons looking like I was already in my next career, and I will forever be so grateful for that moment and the spark she helped me to find.

I feel like a new woman after working with Monica. The pandemic put me in a rut with my sense of…read morestyle. I no longer wanted to sit around in sweatpants but the clothes I had were not doing it for me anymore. Monica saved the day. She educated me and turned me from frumpy to fashionista! I have colors and style--and great fitting clothes. She even helped me with a wardrobe edit that it is so easy for me to pick out clothes within seconds versus the painful minutes I would spend and dread in my closet. The consultation I received from Monica was truly transformational for me that I feel more polished and confident whether I'm lounging at home with my bae or getting ready for an on-camera or in-person meeting. Looking forward to working with Monica again in 2023!

A lot goes into the fashion consultation, but luckily she provides a binder with all of your information for later referral. I learned what colors truly enhance me and have swatches to take shopping with me! I used to get frustrated shopping not knowing what would look good, but now I have confidence to shop knowing what will look good on me no matter what. Online shopping is easier too! Doing the fashion consultation was an investment that lasts much longer than the latest fashion trend. Katelyn is easy to talk to, friendly and flexible. Highly recommended!

Rather than imposing one specific standard, her focus was totally on what made sense for ME given my life and my style.

I would highly recommend Katelyn to anyone!

This particular day we were in desperate need of groceries because I was in bed sick and could not get up and needed my husband to watch our two little kids so I could recoup! It left me wondering when we would be able to get the groceries we needed. After seeing how using BTR saved us this time and allowed us to focus on the other tasks at hand without worrying about when we would get to the store, it left my husband and I with a feeling of relief and the service was spectacular with fulfilling that need efficiently and beneficially. I would highly recommend this service to anyone! You can't place a value on time! Not only was it helpful, but made my life and my husbands so much easier!

My time with her included going through my existing wardrobe, and creating outfits I would have never thought of - all with things I already owned. We also did a bit of shopping together. after spending a lot of time defining my style and my wardrobe objectives. I don't have a lot of time to rifle through racks and racks, and Megan took me to several stores, walked right in, and found the pieces immediately. In the end, I purchased almost everything she suggested, and, more importantly, have actually worn them! If you are in need of defining, or revitalizing your look, you cannot ask for better than Megan. She is attentive, sensitive and informed - a great combo when you are trusting your appearance to someone else. I have received more compliments since being styled by Megan, than I have in my entire life!

She's creative in how she puts pieces together, and always knows how to accessorize to make the look more "you". She's also great at looking at clothing on racks and knowing right away whether it will flatter your body so you don't waste time trying on clothes that aren't really made for you, and that results in a MUCH more feel-good (and efficient!) shopping experience than if I were just on my own, wasting time trying on stuff that isn't right for my body. She makes you look and feel like a million bucks without the price tag! Invest in a session with Megan- trust me, it is worth the money!

She will treat your clothes like they are priceless gems! I hired Elizabeth for a closet consultation. She spent several hours with me putting together full outfits straight from my closet. She took pictures of each outfit so I would have a reference in the future. In one session, she created 37 "NEW to me" outfits. She is very creative and keeps up with the latest fashions. She then gave me a iist of items that I needed and it was quite a short list. This is a great service because it saves you money over the long run.I thought I needed an entirely new wardrobe but really I had everything I needed in my closet already. She also does shopping trips and will do group trips as well. I cannot remember the exact cost for the closet consultation but I want to say $300. Also, if you host a consultation at your home for your friends where they watch your closet get made over, she typically gives a discount.
