HIRE NEJLA! Just do it. If you're like me, hiring a stylist seemed like a totally unnecessary…read moreexpense. A huge splurge. I'd always said I'd do it someday, as I kept dressing in whatever had survived since college. I'm a 35-year-old professional; I needed to level up! I hired Nejla for a closet cleanse, four hours of shopping, and a look book shoot so I could remember how to put everything together. One thing I was dreading was the six hours of hanging out with a stranger, making small talk. I should not have worried! She's so personable and easy to talk to. Nejla is very budget conscious and got my comfort level/budget up front. When I mean a new wardrobe--we bought everything from shoes to rompers. It was worth every penny, but more than that I so appreciated Nejla's approach. She talked me through the whys of what she was selecting and left me feeling super empowered too. Even our salesperson at Nordstrom was like a buddy by the end of our trip (4 hours flew by, which I couldn't believe!). Do it, you won't regret it!!

Cultivating my own personal style was something I always struggled with (probably due to the fact I…read moregrew up wearing uniforms to school, but I digress). I became even more fashionably lost during the pandemic -- after all, like many people I spent 2 years working from home and wearing nothing but leggings. I landed my dream role working at a fashion magazine last summer, and I wanted to walk in feeling confident in what I wore. Nejla absolutely came to my rescue. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little hesitant at first, but Nejla was professional, and quite frankly calming from day one. Her method is well thought out and really works. We got rid of dozens of pieces during my closet clean out that no longer served me, and during the shopping process she not only leaned into clothes that I was drawn to, but also got me out of my comfort zone. She had me try on pieces that I never would've imagined wearing (this is where you really have to trust the process), and now some of those items are staples for me. I've always hated shopping -- and i know a lot of people can relate -- but she makes it an incredibly fun experience, and the four hours FLEW. My favorite part, though? Putting together the lookbook. After our shopping spree she put together 60 (!) outfits and curated them in a shared photo album so I can go back and find inspiration when I need it. Okay I lied -- my favorite (and the most invaluable) part of the whole experience is the confidence I gained in myself. I never received compliments on my outfits in the past and felt a little mismatched. Since working with Nejla I now walk into any room feeling like a million bucks, whether i'm at the office, on a date, or just hanging out with friends. And without fail, I get compliments on almost every single outfit. Nejla helped me become more like myself in a way that I never thought was possible. For that I am forever grateful.

Being in a finance job, young, a working mom, and petite, I needed items that would look professional yet stylish, and that would actually fit well and would be simple to pull together.

I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a complete closet makeover to a seasonal refresh. We have done both and each time I was very happy. Thank you Amanda!

Ali helped me liven up my wardrobe, all within my own budget, and was so much fun to work with. I can't wait to work with her again in the fall. Thank you, Ali!!

When we got to the store she had already pulled a number of outfits which started a conversation on what be liked and what he didn't like.

After a mere 2 hours in the dressing room we left with an entire new wardrobe, a "look book" of outfit photographs (so he will remember how to put it together at home) and a new friend that we will call on again when we are stumped for how to take our wardrobe in a different and more stylish direction!

After years of wearing startup T's and shorts, I left the startup scene and joined a corporation…read morewhere there is an unspoken dress code and shorts are frowned upon. The new job came with a nice pay bump so I figured I'll dress nicer. I reached out to Katie when I was visiting New York and she was able to squeeze me into her schedule within a short notice. As someone who never really shopped, I really didn't know what to expect. Katie held my hand through the process and the whole experience blew me away. Before meeting Katie, I filled out a form that asked me who my role models were, who I thought looked really good in TVs and movies, and other personality questions so Katie could get a feel of the kind of personality I want my style to convey. I really wanted a Harvey Specter look. HA! When Katie and I met, I confessed all my physical insecurities to her. Specifically, I had short stubby legs and finding jeans had always been a problem. Some jeans make my legs short and others make my legs look fat. Fortunately, Katie listened without judgement and none of my shortcomings unfazed her. After about 20 minutes of chatting and getting to know each other, we started shopping and I had the best time of my life! Katie and I waltzed into Banana Republic and Katie immediately grabbed a handicapped fitting room (there were no handicapped person in the store). She asked me to try on some stuff and while I was putting them on, Katie disappeared and returned with a pile of jeans, pants, and shirts. In my past shopping experience, it usually takes me hours to find jeans that fit. So when everything Katie picked fits my body type, I became the happiest person in the world! I eagerly tried on everything Katie brought into the fitting room and we spent most of our time going through the styles and colors and finding the right combination that would make me look my best. By the time we were done, we had a huge clothing pile of maybes and definitely-nots. After Banana Republic, we shopped at Bloomingdales in the same process. I would spend all my time trying on clothes in the fitting room while Katie looks, gives feedback, and brings in more and more clothes. We looked at styles and picked the most flattering styles for my body. By the end of the shopping experience, I had a head to toe wardrobe combination for every occassion (formal, business, business casual, casual, and very casual). Complete wardrobe makeover! Its been a little more than a month since my shopping experience with Katie and I can honestly say Katie had changed my life for the better. I get complements on my new look and I became more confident. After looking my best every day, I started developing a sense of what looks good on me and what doesn't. I didn't know how to shop before meeting Katie, but now I have a good idea of what to look for. Thank you Katie.

This review is LONG overdue! I hired Katie a couple of years ago now to help me get rid of so many…read moreoutdated and old clothes that I had such a hard time letting go of. Purging felt SO good (we must've gotten rid of 10 bags of clothes, shoes, accessories, etc) and once she helped me pick out new styles and put together fresh outfits it made me realize how nice it was to finally move on from the past (and helped me to see that in fact so many of my old outfits weren't working/didn't suit my body) Working with Katie definitely created a shift in my life that I wasn't expecting! It brought on a lot of confidence and made me open to new things in my life in general. Katie really has a gift and I'm so glad I went through that experience with her! Also because she helped me see what outfits work for me, now I tend to buy better quality pieces that work and I don't have excess clutter.

TIffany deserves the kudos (and 5-star rating) for the amazing advice and guidance she gave me in…read moremy Wardrobe Rejuvenation session. Before my session, she sent me a questionnaire to get a sense of my budget, my current style, and what I really wanted to get out of this time with her. Although I knew that the answers to my questions would help her learn more about me, the questionnaire was also beneficial for me to understand what direction I wanted to take my style to next. Tiffany was also very flexible in her schedule and fit me in a time that was convenient for both of us. The Wardrobe Rejuvenation session was an opportunity for me to look at practically every piece of clothing I owned with Tiffany and make a decision on what stayed and what went "good-bye". I was basically getting a good start on my spring cleaning early! As we were going through my wardrobe, Tiffany also showed me ways I could use clothing I already had to make brand new outfits. It was like getting new clothes without spending the money! I enjoyed how she took pictures of these new outfits so I wouldn't forget them. Most importantly, throughout this time, I felt that Tiffany really listened to me and understood the style I wanted to have. She never pushed me to try something that wasn't in my taste or that I wasn't comfortable with. Afterwards, Tiffany put together a thorough list of pieces to consider investing in for my future wardrobe. What was great about this list was that it includes pieces that not only were in my style but also in my budget. And she also included the pictures she had take of my new outfits from the session. The session was worth every penny - it was a great investment in my wardrobe, and this time with Tiffany taught me things I would've never learned about my personal style if it wasn't for her. Now, I go shopping, keeping in my the tips and advice she's given me. Thank you, Tiffany! I'll be contacting you for another session very soon!
