Local stylist-type recommendations?
Hope you can help me with a recommendation here ladies.
My sis and I have long wanted an excuse to get at my mom's closet of Cosby show sweaters, Hawaiian print pants, and other such sins. She admits she knows nothing of fashion, how to dress her body and has repeated mentioned her need to purge her closet so this won't be hugely offensive to her.
For Christmas we wanted to do something about this. We're open to anything but would love the "What Not to Wear" experience (minus of course the insults and humiliation) of closet cleaning, info on body-type dressing and picking out some core stuff.
Does this person/service exist? Recs?
Re: Local stylist-type recommendations?
I have never worked with her but Kathyrn Martin is a friend of a friend.
Also, I like the personal shoppers at Nordstrom. Especially when they load up a dressing room with all sorts of things and give you honest advice. Plus it is free :-)
If you're familiar with Flylady (a DIY organizational guru), her style affiliate "Missus Smarty Pants" has a blog and several services where based on pictures/questionnaires she'll analyze your body type, best colors, and take that into account with the seasons to guide your closet purging and fashion choices.
It looks more DIY (you have to take her personalized e-mailings and put them to work yourself), but it seems really affordable. Body or color-typing for $10, regular personalized e-mails sending you what works for you $10 for 3 months or $40 for a year. I think I'm gonna do it for myself actually.
