I can't say enough about my experience with Kelley. She was beyond great! I signed up for a 4…read morehour personal shopping session with her. I had really high hopes for the shopping trip but a lot of reservations. My wardrobe lacked interest and style and I wanted to have clothes that I liked, but I worried that I would feel pressure to buy things I didn't love or wouldn't end up feeling comfortable wearing. I tried on tons of clothes and Kelley was a true professional. She would wait for my reaction and let me decide for myself. If I wasn't sure, she would honestly give her opinion. Some times she would just say it looks nice, but not great and our goal is to find things that are great. Or the fit is really nice, but the color is very drab and it's not working with my skin tone. Some things were great (the brown leather dress that fit like a glove) and she went out of her way to give me ideas on how to dress it up or down. But at the end of trying everything on, she let me decide what I wanted and didn't try to influence me unless I asked for her opinion. The brown dress was amazing and I wish I would have been able to happily buy it, but I knew it would end up sitting in my closet because I would be too intimidated to wear it. So I didn't get it and that was okay. I also really liked that when we went into a store, we would walk around together and pick out things that I liked then she would walk around and pick out things she thought I should try on. It was nice because we would start with the things I picked out then she would push me outside of my comfort zone gradually instead of just throwing my into the deep end right away. I ended up with two pair of jeans and a bright yellow top and a grey sweater that I wouldn't have even considered trying on, but those are my favorite items now. Kelley was also really good at being honest about the value of the purchases. A great pair of jeans is worth the money, but spending $90 on a gold bracelet that you can get at any accessory store is a waste of money. As I was driving home after the trip, I wondered if I would really like my new clothes when I tried them on again. Buyer's remorse is a common feeling for me after a frustrating day of shopping. I usually spend hours pouring through racks and eventually buy something because it fits but not because I like it then I go home grumpy and add it to my collection of boring clothes. The day after my shopping trip with Kelley, I put on my new skinny jeans and asymmetrical sweater and got tons of compliments at work. I went home and tried on the grey sweater with a black long sleeve t-shirt, my new purple skinny jeans, black knee high boots and a drapey necklace like Kelley had suggested and all of a sudden the purple jeans and grey sweater with no sleeves that I thought were so weird looked amazing. I can't wait for the weekend so I can actually wear the outfit. Not only am I happy with everything I bought, the things I was most hesitant about are my favorite things now. I would highly recommend Kelley to anyone who is looking for a style transformation. I can't wait until I can save up a little more money and sign up for another shopping trip with her. Self esteem and confidence are worth every penny!

Kelley provided her styling services for my birthday trip to Sonoma, CA. Her services were…read moreoutstanding, she took time to learn of my exact plans, down to researching each event spot to see what appropriate style/outfits would be for the occasion. She brought more than enough options for me to identify core pieces for my trip and got me outside of my "box" of what I would normally choose when shopping for myself. And, she nailed the sizes, nothing needed to be altered, etc. She was also very instrumental in handling any returns of any items that were not purchased, and followed through until all returns/refunds were processed. I would highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again! Thank you!!

We picked the dress up 5 days later and OMG it was perfect and altered to fit my wife exactly as the dress was meant to fit.

I've worked with Monica for the past year, and she has completely changed the way I approach my…read morewardrobe and personal style. I'm a man in my mid-30s in a people-facing leadership role, which means I'm regularly in front of a wide variety of stakeholders. When I started working with Monica, I felt like I had fallen into a uniform: slacks, a shirt, and a blazer for work, and jeans and a button-down for a date night. Everything was perfectly fine, but getting dressed felt more utilitarian than personal, and I wanted to expand my style without feeling like I was wearing someone else's clothes. What I've appreciated most about working with Monica is that she didn't simply tell me what to buy. Through quarterly closet audits, we've gone through what I already own, put together specific outfits I wouldn't have thought of myself, and identified the actual gaps in my wardrobe. Over time, that process has helped me develop a much clearer sense of my own style and given me the confidence to move outside of my usual comfort zone. A year later, I have far more variety in what I wear for both work and my personal life, but more importantly, my clothes feel much more like a reflection of my personality. Getting dressed has become something I actually enjoy rather than just another part of my morning routine. I'd especially recommend Monica to someone who feels uninspired by getting dressed every day or has a closet full of perfectly good clothes but still finds themselves reaching for the same few combinations. Her service is about much more than shopping, it's about figuring out how you want to present yourself and then building a wardrobe that actually reflects that. For someone in a visible, people-facing role, that has been incredibly valuable.

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.

For those of you who've spent years cramming yourself into whatever approximation of your size you…read morecould find at a department store, a place like this is genuinely life-changing. Regular fittings aren't a luxury -- they're a necessity -- and stores willing to take the time to actually help you (and know what they are doing) are few and far between. When you're not a standard size, shopping for bras is basically a part-time job with no benefits. So when you find a store that actually gets it, you are winning. And you will never purchase a bra in a box ever again. Alexandra and Janiyah were an absolute dream team. What started as a straightforward fitting turned into something closer to amusement. These ladies are pros. Janiyah knew exactly what she was doing and Alexandra kept materializing out of thin air with another bra every 30 seconds -- like a mystical Bra Fairy. The team kept the whole thing feeling fun and completely unpressured. And their bras are gorgeous. Thirty minutes. In and out. Properly fitted. Laughing the whole way through. If you've been putting this off, consider this your sign. Ask for Alexandra and Janiyah. Prepare to be visited by the Bra Fairy and leave a happier person - the twins will thank you .

I needed to find a strapless bra that would fit under a satin sleek off the should dress same day and Stephanie came through!!! I came here after rushing to another store in silver spring that closed hours earlier than they said they would when I called and talked to someone. Le Bustiere Boutique in Bethesda is nestled in between an alley and another store, but the inside 100% gives the vibe of boutique versus strip mall. They hung a few bras on the wall and then their dressing room is tucked away in the back with an adorable mural of different breasts with an affirmative saying in neon pink lighting. I use a special calculator (a bra that fits) to help determine my size and when I went Stephanie measured me exactly to that measurement. I was shocked because that never happens and it really helped me feel even more confident about my purchase. I was able to get my strapless bra and a new everyday t shirt bra. It's a French brand and I haven't ever had something feel like it's not there when I wear it. 10/10 really like this place and will be back without a doubt.
