I was a little nervous/hesitant going into this, I've never really paid too much attention to my…read moreclothes. But my wife, who was a former client of Andrea's raved about the service and the results. And so I decided to give it a go, and I'm really glad that I did. Andrea is a joy to work with and a very cool human being. She is an expert at assessing the person, understanding their tastes and needs, and walking through the process. Great communication, too. The result is that I have a wardrobe that I really like (it feels like "me"), my wife thinks I look great and I'm getting complements at work. I also understand which colors are my friends and which to avoid. And for the first time, I would dare to say that I have adopted a sense of style. Only took 50 years :) Andrea is a pro, and what she offers is a true life upgrade. Do yourself a favor and give her a call. And this would be an extremely cool gift for your spouse or a friend in need of a little bit of "help". Thanks, Andrea. You're awesome.

My Closet Cravings had a HUGE impact on my life and is a permanent line item in my budget. I was in…read morea total Banana Republic rut and needed a big change to find myself again after years of overworking and neglecting my appearance. Sydney was a dream to work with and helped me: -Purge clothes that were bad choices for my figure -Understand what looks good on me regarding fit, style -CREATED new outfits out of stuff I already had and would never have thought to wear together -Learn about new places to shop for both stretching your budget and for splurging -Save a ton of money by shopping with me and helping me buy the right things vs. things that would just later hang unworn in my closet Sydney is extremely talented and so gentle and kind to work with (critical attributes for someone who is watching you try on clothes!) I've recommended her to tons of friends and colleagues and not one has been anything other than ECSTATIC about their experience. As they say, two thumbs way up!

If you like to dress well, and your paying attention, there are still limits to your ability to…read morepick things out that represent you well. This is why you need an expert - to daringly try things out that you normally would not pull off the rack and try on. In my case, I can go for days buying suits, dress shirts, jeans, stuff I have been wearing for years but what about that other look? What about that cardigan? If you look like a fool, you want to know before you make the purchase. :-) However, if you look great, you have level'ed up and can't wait to wear it out. I highly recommend this service. It is like getting hit over the head with a "I-look-frickin-awesome-stick" You can spend the money with this service and look good, or you can go it alone and look average at best.

Laurel is worth every penny. I'm a guy who loathes clothes shopping, and this was not only…read morepainless, but fun! Laurel's system is brilliant, from the initial questionnaire to the closet consultation, and through the shopping session itself. I felt like she really understood my likes and dislikes, had a real sense of how much I wanted to change my look and what I wanted to retain. The only hard part was choosing from all the great stuff she picked out for me. I'm psyched to start wearing my new clothes - which is a feely I've rarely had before! I can't recommend Laurel highly enough. Thank you Laurel!!

A friend of mine always looks snazzy and put together. I asked her what her secret is and she said…read morewith a smile, "Thea Wood." I recently worked with Thea and she has truly changed my life. I walked into our consultation needing guidance on how to put together a polished and approachable look. She delivered that and more. Her demeanor is warm, friendly, down to earth and fun. During our meetings I felt like I was chatting with a friend :) She is compassionate and understanding of the struggles I felt about my body. Society isn't kind to women with curves and as someone who struggled with eating disorders her whole life, I had been beating myself up about my appearance. She approached those concerns from a loving place and has helped me look at clothing sizes in a more healthy way. In an industry that typically shames women for their "inadequacies" Thea helped me feel good myself. I love my color wheel and it's already proven so helpful during my most recent shopping trips. The color analysis alone is a smart investment in yourself because it enables you to successful select clothes/accessories that truly compliment you and get you the most bang for your buck overall. I also did the body consultation and learned so much about what types of clothing works best on my figure. She created a lovely book for me to use as a guide and I adore it! I really enjoyed working with Thea and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to give themselves a gift. We get help for all other areas of our life ( ie:personal trainers, nutritionists, hairstylists, and doctors)...why not get help in creating your desired look? Do yourself a favor and reach out to her :) Thank you, Thea!

I've gone on and on about Thea since I first started working with her, so I figured I'd get on Yelp…read moreand make it official. I always like to have a little self-improvement project going on in my life, and since I've just moved to Austin, and a lot of things are correspondingly very new for me, I thought it would be a great time to focus on the way I present myself, and project my personality, to others. Consulting Thea was, for me, the right choice. Hands down. The Service: Thea has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She reaches you with a seamles blend of professionalism and warmth. Her passion for style is visibly apparent, and her enthusiasm for helping you look your best is contagious. The Product: I love my color fan, and I take it everywhere with me - it's beautiful, first of all. On the more practical end, it's easy to use, and Thea has helped me to understand why certain colors work better than others, and how to use them, and what to look for. My style guide is detailed, personalized, and easy to use. Finally, the clothes I've bought with Thea..... well, I'm beyond happy with this. She takes the time to get to know you - your personality, your lifestyle, your goals - and she uses this to customize your shopping experience. In the clothes I picked with Thea, I don't feel like someone else dressed me. I feel like someone else guided me toward what I really wanted and needed, but never would have found on my own. The Bonus: I've learned so much about myself in the process.... so, if you really embrace the process and open up to it, you're really working on yourself both inside and out. Best of luck! Thanks, Thea!

I called Raquel because I wasn't happy with my wardrobe. No matter how much money I spent on…read moreclothes and shoes I never seemed to have the right thing to wear. Raquel taught me so many things in just a few hours of time together. It was an amazing value and I'm saving money already by not spending it on the wrong colors, shapes, styles, sizes and I think about new items in a different way - how much I love it and how many different items it goes with in my existing wardrobe. I see which items have the most value and which are expensive mistakes that wouldn't be versatile enough to wear with other items in my closet. How did it work? The approach she used in my case was to review colors (by my request) and then Style, Shop, Style. She put together a bunch of outfits from head to toe with accessories and shoes out of my closet, before I bought anything. The next step was to go shopping - she made a shopping list based on wardrobe gaps that were preventing me from making more outfits. Then we met again to style the new items. She made multiple outfits from each of the items. We set aside some items for hemming and tailoring - which I've already gotten done. I learned how to put outfits together in a batch so I don't agonize over outfit making in the mornings when I haven't had coffee. And she sent me photos of almost 40 outfits she put together in the two styling sessions. I used those photos to pack for a 10 day business trip. I picked out which outfits I wanted for different situations on the trip, and packed all the items including jewelry and shoes and I knew what to put together each day. It was so easy! I think the best part was going from not having an outfit at all to being so put together that I get compliments every day. While I feel much more self-sufficient, I still have some changes to make in my style. I want to take this to another level and I'll be working with Raquel again to achieve that very soon.

Like some of the reviewers here, I'm not naturally fashionable, so I thought I might have been a…read morelost cause for Raquel. Not so! The assignments she had me complete got me thinking critically (as in, analytically, not in a mean spirit...) about what I wear, well before our consultation. When she tackled my closet, I was surprised by the versatility of my existing, and fairly minimal, wardrobe. And while I was a little anxious about someone coming over and going through my clothes and style with a fine-tooth comb (kind of a personal thing!), Raquel was non-judgmental and enthusiastic; it was like having a friend over. Glad I did this, it was a great investment!

I confess, I have a problem. I'm a matchy-matchy dresser. I know how to pull together an outfit,…read morebut it's always super expected, not very exciting, and color matchy-matchy to the extreme. I decided to take a little risk and see if my style could be updated without having to get a whole new $5,000 What-Not-to-Wear wardrobe. Enter the most talented Jennifer Young. Jen is a Partner Stylist with Edit by Lauren. She came to my house for a one hour closet consultation. And whoa - this girl is GOOD! In our one brief, fast moving hour, she pulled together 21+ new outfits from the clothes in my closet that I would never have thought to put together, complete with shoes, accessories, and purses. Later in the day, I received a personalized photo collage so I could remember the combinations and the next day I received a shopping list, complete with online links, so I could get the few pieces I need to extend my wardrobe and make the clothes I have go even further! That was four days ago and I've never felt so fabulous! Each day it is so fun to pull out my pictures and get dressed with confidence. And my husband is a huge fan - it didn't require any new clothes to get 21 new outfits. He said I should have her out quarterly. I can't wait! And I'll also be hiring Jen when I need help with a special occasion outfit or a travel wardrobe. One more thing - Jen is delightful to work with. She was fun and professional, incredibly encouraging - which is important when dealing with something so personal as someone's clothing - and she even helped me figure out how to wear a boxy, too-big-for-me 1980's Benetton sweater because she could tell I loved it and didn't want to part with it. Hire her - I promise it will be well spent time and money!

As the owner of a business in the interior design industry, it is especially important that my…read moreclients see me as "well-styled" when I arrive at their home for a consultation. Not always an easy task! I needed help in editing my closet--getting rid of things that no longer fit or had gone out of style. Then I needed help to confidently style outfits that would help me look my best every day. That's exactly what my afternoon session with Jen Young did for me. I've always had a pretty good feel for what looks good/flattering on me, but have lacked imagination in my dressing routine. Jen put together dozens of new looks for me, using what I already had in my closet, complete with accessories and jewelry. It has been a fantastic time-saver for me in my dressing routine, and the boost in my confidence is absolutely priceless. But just boosting confidence in one's appearance is only part of the benefit. Anyone who owns a business or is hoping to rise in their career path knows the importance of making the right impression. Purchasing a style session with Forever Styled is an investment that will pay long-term benefits. This is about way more than just looking good...it's about helping pave the way to a more successful career. Heads up, ladies! (and gentlemen!) Jen Young and Forever Styled is ready to help you "get your clothes on"!
