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. The best part is, that after a styling session I felt like I had just gone shopping in my own closet! I use her advice on a daily basis, and will be asking her for more help in the future !

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.

Rather than imposing one specific standard, her focus was totally on what made sense for ME given my life and my style. I am very happy knowing that now everything in my closet fits and looks good, and along the way she created a specific "wish list" to help focus future shopping efforts. I would highly recommend Katelyn to anyone!

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!

At first my husband was skeptical. His Statement was: "why would I spend money on a service that I…read morecould do myself?" 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.
