I was preparing for a trip abroad and wanted to have a chic, effortless and balanced wardrobe for a "shoulder" season. We first looked at what I had in my closet, did some shopping, then put together some fun outfits. It was easy to feel put together and confident. They "travelled well" and every day it was a breeze to get dressed. So very satisfying and confidence boosting. read more

Working with Michelle is fantastic - I've been working with her for more than 10 years, first building a wardrobe and now adding specific pieces. Previously, I would buy clothes that I thought would work and because they didn't, they sat in my closet and were wasted money. Michelle finds things that i would pick out myself that work for my style mantra, my lifestyle and result in many compliments. Strongly recommend her to anyone looking for help finding the right items that flatter the body and compliment the color palette, whether for wear daily and/or for special occasions! read more

Michelle is a wardrobe wizard!! She starts by taking the time to understand your personal style, your lifestyle, and what you're looking to achieve. She helped me clarify which styles and color combinations are most flattering on me and why certain pieces I have bought myself just don't get worn (whether because I don't know what to wear them with or because they're just not right for me). Her guidance is not a one-size-fits-all approach - it is based on a deep understanding of WHY things work well or not for YOU. She helped me edit my closet, fill in the gaps, and put together outfits that I would not have come up with myself. The outcome has been not just a beautiful closet, but a growing sense of confidence and knowledge in how to shop and put outfits together myself. So valuable!! read more

I met Michelle around two years ago. It was a true blessing. Michelle has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. She is honest, reaponsible, ethical, and has an incredible talent for picking out clothes to make you feel beautiful. When I met Michelle I had a closet full of Amazon purchased clothes, mainly the same color and style. Thanks to Michelle, I now have a closet full of colorful dresses, skirts, pants, tops, suits, belts, purses, shoe, and even lingerie! I could not recommend her enough. I am dating again after a divorce from a 19-year marriage. Thanks to Michelle, I show up on each date feeling feminine, put together, and confident. Thank you, Michelle from the bottom of my heart. I wish I would have met you thirty years ago. read more

Michelle is an amazing style guru! I hired her to initially help me make sense of my wardrobe. Her service offering is comprehensive and she reviewed my all my clothes with me, reviewed my colors, and made recommendations for quality purchases based on what I needed. The magic came when I hired Michelle to help me shop for a special event. She brings sass, a great eye, and a love of fashion. Michelle will work with you to find the perfect outfit(s) and makes your shopping experience hassle free. Michelle is professional, fun and super knowledgeable. She is an asset to anyone looking for that fabulous look. Years later and I still feel stunning in the outfits she helped me select. She has an uncanny ability to find that special piece that will leave you feeling simply amazing. read more

Michelle Moquin - 50th birthday- outfit #1 - Personal Shopping Near Me

See all

I worked with Michelle on a color analysis. Our session was such a delight, and really opened my eyes to new possibilities. I feel like I learned SO MUCH! It was a great investment, and I will be coming back to her for more professional wardrobe advice soon. She is smart, artistic and a joy to work with! read more

I have never enjoyed shopping for clothes. I never know what to look for and feel overwhelmed when I walk into a store. And, I don't have the time or energy that I did when I was younger. I have girlfriends that just love to shop and always find what they are looking for. Sometimes I would try on those lovely things they had found thinking it must be great, only to find it didn't work for me. I found Michelle based on a recommendation from a client. I had admired my client's style for a long time and finally asked her to take me shopping with her sometime (so that I could learn the secret). I was surprised when she told me that she hadn't picked anything out herself and that she had worked with a stylist. At first I thought wow, that is an indulgent way to live...but then if I think of all the money (and the time) I've wasted over the years, buying clothes just because they fit rather than because I loved them... so I decided to try it, just once. Well that "once" has ended up being a 3 year relationship. I have found, working with Michelle, that she knows my shape, style and what looks good on me, waaaay better than I ever could. The money I have and will save in the future working with her makes it "worth every penny". I've gone from never being able to find anything I love to, I need to not love something because everything she has picked out is perfect for me. We just had a session and it became a little joke between us that it was good when I didn't like an item - because it was a rare thing. Now I have a wardrobe that I can go to each day and pick out an outfit that I feel great in and I get compliments - amazing! I've gone from not enjoying shopping to getting excited when I schedule time with her with the anticipation of what she has chosen for me. Not only is Michelle a professional, but I also just love hanging out with her, it makes me feel like I'm shopping with a girlfriend, which is great. read more

I loved working with Michelle for both the Initial Consultation and the Closet Audit. I learned so much more about the shape of my body, the necklines up top that balance/compliment my hips to give me more of an hourglass look (and what necklines to stay away from). I learned what the shape of my shoes should be to give me more height (or to look taller), how to make my closet more functional (so that I now love everything in there), and so much more. Working with her has saved me from hours of trying the wrong clothes or wasting money. And it wasn't like Michelle told me what to do so that I didn't have a voice. She was a great listener, and came with a background of an experienced clothing designer, which simply just took my closet to another level. Totally worth the investment in myself. read more

If I had found Michelle years ago, I would have saved countless hours agonizing over clothes to buy and how to put them all together. I hate clothing shopping with a passion because it's like entering an airplane hangar with a thousand potential targets and not knowing where to aim--I get EXTREME decision fatigue quickly it's a huge time suck when I could be doing anything else I am passionate about the probability of spending a lot of money on a sub-optimal garment is high Michelle: has a very organized methodology for analyzing color, style and body shape is a fantastic listener--she really hears what you want to project to the world and keeps that in mind throughout the wardrobe design process sees beauty and individuality--she has the gift of seeing and optimizing how you are attractive in a way that leaves you feeling authentic and unique I feel GREAT when i get dressed. I have EASE in assembling outfits. Since working with Michelle, I have been told many times by random clients, "You have great style." I enjoyed the actual experience of working with Michelle, I have absolutely earned interest on this investment (having recaptured thought time and decisions from the process of getting dressed) and I look VERY forward to working with her again in the future! read more

Michelle's color consultation, closet audit and shopping session truly inspired me. I learned the " science" behind dressing for my body type and complexion. I finally understand how to make clothing accentuate my best features. I was also impressed with Michelle's professionalism and encouragement. We put together outfits that felt unique and designed just for me. She also works quickly and was incredibly intuitive-99% of everything she selected looked fabulous and fit me perfectly . She was also very respectful of my budget and found pieces that related to each other resulting in a dynamic , fresh new wardrobe ! Why you should work with Michelle: --You will feel excited to survey your closet every and find outfits you love and want to wear --you will feel liberated after purging the clothes that don't work and integrating the cool stuff you don't know what to do with into your wardrobe --you will save time and money after learning about what clothes to look for when shopping and which ones to avoid --you will discover outfits that make you feel truly great about yourself I look forward to working with Michelle in the future! read more

Working with Michelle has been great! For too long I'd been looking at my closet and thinking I had nothing to wear that truly reflected my sense of self and my own personal style. Michelle has changed all of that without my buying anything new in my closet! Our initial meeting was very helpful, understanding the different body types and personal styles and then pinpoint what works best for me and how to define my own personal style. The great part was actually going through my closet and getting rid of what no longer was working for me and then reworking the pieces I did have into several outfits. She took each piece of clothing and created 3 different looks! Now I feel more comfortable and happy with my wardrobe. read more

I interviewed quite a few style consultants before deciding to work with Michelle and I am glad that I did. Michelle is different from all the other consultants that I interviewed because she has a fashion designer background (as opposed to retail) and focuses on your individual body in a more detailed way. She gives you homework and interviews you thoroughly to understand your personality and your needs; she actually measures you head to toe to get a very accurate assessment of your body type, and having the consultation session with her has been very rewarding for me as she taught me a lot about what works,what doesn't work, and why. It was rewarding and I learned a lot! I wish I did this when I was younger as I would have save myself a lot of money spent on clothes that don't work for me. I was so pleased that I had the style consultation! I am looking forward to having more future consultations with Michelle, but we are off to a great start. read more

I used to get so stressed getting dressed - that all changed working with Michelle! She easily whipped my wardrobe into shape so I can pull out anything now and know it looks great. I thought hiring a personal stylist was way too extravagant for my budget - wrong! She has saved me so much time and money. I walked into a room with all the clothes/hand bags/shoes she had picked out and actually wasn't overly excited about what I saw - but wrong again! She had really listened to me and picked out what would truly work and make me feel great in. The clothes she picked out are my absolute favorites now and I still get excited to wear them - I'm sure it helps hearing "that dress was made for you..."! I'm delighted and surprised how much working with Michelle has made my life easier. read more

I was someone who hated shopping because I had little clue how to find clothes I like and thought it was a waste of time. My closet wasn't very well organized, so digging through clothes every morning was a huge chore. After getting sick of all my clothes, I decided finally that I just want someone to help me get it right once and for all. I'm so glad I found Michelle! When I spoke to her on the phone, she expressed a desire to empower her clients to make their own wardrobe decisions by helping them understand their own styles, and learn the necessary shopping skills. I think she definitely accomplished these goals! Her service was thoughtful from start to finish. She prepped our first meeting by getting to know me and my sense of style--which I didn't think existed--better beforehand. I really appreciated that during our session she gave a lot of info, e.g. color guides for eye shadow, best shapes, fabric, and cuts for my body shape, as well as brands that cater to my body shape. One of the best advice she provided was the exact way to organize my closet. I find my clothes now in about a minute! It's been about a year since I first started working w her, and I actually enjoy shopping now, which would've been unbelievable a year ago. I know better what looks good on me, and how to decide if a piece is right for me. Because of that I can easily ask sales reps to help me find items instead of searching for them myself, saving me even more time. Lastly a true story: a guy literally stopped me on the street a few days ago because he wanted to tell me I "looked too cool". Definitely felt empowered. Thank you so much Michelle! read more

Michelle's definition of my body type, an "Inverted Triangle" !!, was the first step in defining what colors, fit, and styles would most flatter me. Then it was on to my personal style. Her ability to select pieces based on both my body type and style not only simplified the process but made it a whole lot more fun because it's streamlined how I look at clothes across my wardrobe. I'm spending less time putting outfits together, less money, and feeling great about my choices because she's helped me define what is most flattering for me. read more

I met Michelle through two mutual friends and from their recommendations decided to work with her to help me in a few very specific ways: 1) to define my personal style 2) to assemble an age appropriate, versatile and fun wardrobe 3) to gain shopping savvy so I could avoid making the money wasting and mood deflating fashion mistakes that were common in my past. I am thrilled with the results of my work with Michelle. I had so much fun going through the process with her. She was not judgmental or coercive and I truly felt she cared about me and wanted me to be happy with the experience and the outcome. One of the most helpful nuggets that I take from our work together is my "mantra" - three terms that define what I want from my clothes and that will guide me in my future purchases. I recommend Michelle without hesitation. read more

Michelle Moquin is gracious and innovative. She defiantly knows her style. She did a consultation with me and it completely changed how I viewed my shape and how I dress. I also read her newsletter which is filled with style advice. I would recommend Michelle Moquin to anyone who wants to look and feel good in their clothes. read more

Michelle was referred to me by a trusted friend. I have engaged Michelle multiple times to update my wardrobe and add new, stylish items. I highly recommend Michelle for the following reasons: 1. Her approach is extremely time-efficient. As a busy executive, I have no time. She did a thorough analysis of my best colors. Then she went pre-shopping and I met her in a private dressing room. She had arrayed the room with a great variety of shoes, shirts, pants, belts, both casual and formal. 2. She is very personable. This matters. She is honest but diplomatic (when most people would say, "Definitely not" she says something like "Well...you could do that...if you really want..." 3. She is affordable. 4. She stays up to date on fashion and also is cognizant of what is "in" and what is not. 5. She is extremely punctual and reliable. I highly recommend Michelle!!!! Bob F. read more

Michelle gives you a lot of helpful information during the consultation to keep in mind, but never makes you feel like you must take her suggestions. She shared a lot during our session and I learn a lot as well as starting to think about details of clothing I hadn't ever thought about before. I told her what I wanted out of our meeting in terms of a new style, and she came prepared with materials to give me to help me achieve that goal. I really enjoyed working with her because she was funny, energetic, and kind. I am someone who loves shopping but gets overwhelmed by it every time I go. This was until I met with Michelle. Her tips helped me filter through clothing in stores so I wasn't bogged down by everything in the store, but rather was able to locate more quickly the articles of clothing that worked for me; cuts, styles, and colors, because I had a clear idea of what worked for my body type and complexion. This new ability to breeze past and not waste my time on clothing that wasn't my good colors or cuts, restored the experience of shopping as a fun one and not something that was mentally and physically draining. Her expertise of the fashion industry and informative consultation allowed me to fully enjoy shopping again and not only be confident in my choices, but also branch out to colors and styles I hadn't considered before, but I have now confirmed work for me too. read more

Wow! I had Michelle help me with my wardrobe recently, and I was delighted with her expertise, creativity, and great attitude. I wish I had her with me every time I open my closet, or shop for a new piece of clothing! She offers a range of wardrobe services, and I hired her to assist me in shopping my own closet, a great service to have in a tight economy. She did a thorough evaluation of my fashion sense and personal style via a comprehensive questionnaire before she came for an initial wardrobe consultation at my home. We both agreed upon her assessment of my style type, and how best to use her considerable talents. I have a lot of clothes, and often feel overwhelmed with the task of putting together new outfits. She helped me to recognize the necessity of adding some basics to a wardrobe that is mostly comprised of fun and unique pieces, and worked with me to find new possibilities among the things I already own. She also made some very useful suggestions about how to better organize my closet, which has taken a lot of the frustration out of getting dressed every day. I recommend her highly, and look forward to using her services again in the future. I've already told several people about her, and those who have hired her were also delighted. read more

This is my second year working with Michelle. Last summer she helped me establish a basic wardrobe and colors that work well for me. I loved every minute working with her, and completely agree with other reviewers who say she is very fun, supportive, and not at all judgmental. This month I needed to find an outfit to wear for a wedding I'll be attending soon. Michelle not only chose a terrific and very appropriate outfit (within my budget), but she also found a few other dresses that will serve me well and expand my wardrobe possibilities. I realize again that working with Michelle is not just about getting shopping help, but truly is an investment in myself. Michelle chooses clothes that are not simply in style, but that bring out the best in her client. I am extremely pleased with her service and recommend her without hesitation! read more

When I hired Michelle, I thought I was doing something extremely lavish. I had no idea she would bring me back to life! I had just started a business, was overwhelmed and had very little time to manage my personal affairs. Michelle took me through a careful exploratory process to get to know me and my personal style, and with that she was able to craft a look that perfectly suited me. Most important, Michelle listened and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease every step of the way. She far exceeded my expectations. Michelle will transform your outside into the person you are on the inside in a seamless, stress-free process that will leave you wanting more! I cannot give her a higher compliment, and I cannot wait to work with her again. read more

Like most men I don't spend a lot of time thinking about colors or designs or shopping for clothes. But I am spending more and more time in Hollywood for business where my Clash t shirt and 501 jeans are not always the best choice. After one meeting with Michelle I knew I had found someone I could trust to help me look great even in the "image is everything" capital of the world. read more

For my birthday, my wife gave me a style consultation with Michelle Moquin. At first I wasn't sure I needed to update my wardrobe. But when I met with Michelle, I was so impressed by her skill and expertise, as well as her warmth and humor, I decided to make some improvements. One thing I really appreciated was the time and money Michelle saved me by pre-shopping the Nordstrom Men's Sale to select the clothes I needed to round out my wardrobe. I arrived to find a dressing room full of clothes and within a few painless hours I was done! Her guidance and no-pressure approach ensured that I bought what fit and looked best. Now I get compliments daily. Best of all, I feel more confident about what clothes to buy. Working with Michelle was worth every penny. I highly recommend her. read more

I agree this is the best present you can give or receive! Michelle is truly exceptional at her work. Her focus, attention to detail, knowledge, ability to teach, systematic approach while yet still maintaining the artistry and individualization all comes together to provide an amazing experience. You will be well equipped to make great choices, look your best and enjoy reflecting your personal style. I would highly recommend Michelle! read more

Michelle was totally fun, professional and right on target during the entire style revamp process I experienced. She worked with my busy schedule as we planned our sessions over a period of several months. It gave me time to absorb the new information and "try on" the new knowledge about my style. Once assimilated, the information changed everything I do when deciding my wardrobe and accessory changes. Michelle is personal, super fashion smart, kind, but honest and very comfortable with her self and her clients. I recommend any of her style sessions, or what the hec, do them all! You won't regret it and you will be wiser and more savvy than ever before when it comes to looking and feeling good and showing it to the world. read more

I have worked with Michelle several times over the years and I can tell you she has completely changed my relationship with my closet. Prior to working with her, I constantly struggled to find things that fit and looked good on me. Pulling together outfits was so time-consuming and just not fun. When we first started working together, MIchelle taught me what looked best on my body and she helped me identify my unique style. Before working with her I had no clue about either of these issues and that is one reason why I often felt frustrated and unhappy with what I was wearing. Next, we went through my closet - keeping those items which looked good on me and were consistent with my style. We tossed a bunch of stuff that just no longer served me and got in my way. Michelle also helped me identify the things that were missing in my closet. This was illuminating. Then we went shopping! Michelle found so many beaufiful things that helped fill in the gaps in my closet. It was a lot of fun and an experience not to be missed by anyone. When I got home, I couldn't believe how different it was to get myself dressed - EASY and EFFORTLESS. Unbelievable! I just can't recommend her enough. read more

Michelle is amazing. I trusted in her process and left a three hour shopping excursion with amazing pieces within my budget. I was so surprised by how spot on her choices were for me. read more

Michelle is fantastic! Her eye is laser-sharp and she does wonders with closets. I can't even count how many times I said "I never would have put that together." She also pays close attention to budget. Well worth the time and investment! read more

I can't say enough good things about Michelle and her services! She's attentive, insightful, listens to my needs (as opposed to having her own agenda) and was able to uplift my "clothing" confidence in order to look and feel my best. In general, after 30 or so years of wearing a uniform of jeans and t-shirts, she has made even the thought of spending time in a clothing store bearable. I'm now able to see myself branching out into other styles - not because I felt pressured, but because I was inspired by Michelle's creativity, honestly and general sense of FUN when it comes to clothes and their function in daily life. My one wish is that I could have her by my side whenever I get dressed! No question about it...Michelle is a true professional worth every dollar spent. read more

Michelle can save you money! How, she has helped my wife get rid of clothes that don't work any longer, but more importantly she knows what will work now and in the future. I've hired Michelle twice over the past few years to work with my wife and mother of two kids. My wife needed help know what to buy and what to pitch. She and her her services are worth every penny. read more

I worked with Michelle several years ago when I was taking over my firm from my business partner. The process of cleaning out my closet, determining my shape and style, and shopping for a new base wardrobe was amazing and eye opening. Michelle provides a lot of insight in a relatively short amount of time, and helps one develop a lot of confidence in dressing professionally. I learned one of the most important keys to wardrobe success during that process. While you are trying something on at the store, ask yourself, "do you love it?" If you answer yes, then you should probably consider buying it. If not, leave it. You will save yourself a lot of money and feel so much better about how you look. Thanks, Michelle, for everything! Amy read more

I had been wishing for help with a closet clean-out. Most of the clothes I have are long-wearing and good quality, so I have had the same things for years, but wasn't feeling the love. We'd moved to a place with a much smaller closet, so the desire for help become more urgent. I was introduced to Michelle, and saw some of her work on behalf of other clients, and was very impressed. What caught my attention about Michelle's work with her clients was how perfect the style guidance was for the individuals I met. Michelle makes you look your best, not someone else's best. I signed up for her introductory session and closet clean-out. The introductory meeting exceeded my expectations. The closet-clean-out guidance was a fantastic experience. I now have a closet of pieces that fit now, look great, have ideas on other ways to put things together, and I know what to get when I go shopping. Looking forward to having a shopping experience with Michelle in the future. I highly recommend Michelle Moquin to anyone who wants to look their best, whatever their personality, body type and style! read more

Michelle Moquin is most definitely a rare gem. I hired Michelle to help me find some clothes for a photo shoot that would ultimately live in a magazine and the internet for a long time. I didn't want to mess around and attempt to style myself (even though, I'm "not too shabby" on the dude scale of dressing myself). I've known Michelle for years, and she has worked with my wife with stunning results. Ms. Moquin is simply uncommonly talented at the art of pairing clothes with your true self. The fact that she is a perennially positive and engaging individual really helps the process. I realized quickly that I had some responsibility in this relationship. I had to be open and honest with myself, and be open to Michelle's suggestions. We've all seen those "makeover" shows, and sometimes we kid ourselves when we need to get over it and wear the right sized clothes! So, yes, there is something quite therapeutic about working with Michelle, as well. Trust her. Let her pick the colors. She knows what she's doing. She has a great sense of style herself! If you're reading this yelp, I encourage you to just "go for it". It's a wonderful thing to do for yourself, and it's quite wonderful when others get to witness a smartly dressed you. Michelle Moquin. Helping people dress responsibly. She did that for me. read more

Michelle is amazing! I have very little fashion sense and my wardrobe was in dire need of a complete makeover. Michelle helped my "cull" my closet, and put together outfits with the remaining clothes to create my own new look . We put a list together of missing items, she pre-shopped for me and had the clothes ready for me to try on. She was right on the money! I now have a working closet and feel great about the way I look. Thanks Michelle!! I'm ready to shop with you again! read more

Just wanted to add that Michelle also does a great job providing style advice in a group setting. She recently did a session with roughly 50 employees at my company that was a huge hit. She gave general style tips and then did impromptu style consulting with 5 employees from the group--color, silhouettes, etc. She is amazingly talented. read more

Michelle is SENSATIONAL !! Not only is she brilliant at what she does, which is multi faceted, she is an absolute delight to work with. I love clothes and have a lot of them. While I felt I had my own personal style, I had a hard time getting dressed because I had too many clothes in my closet. I needed help creating a closet that was palpable and functional. Michelle helped me above and beyond. She helped me to see why things I wasn't wearing didn't work. She helped me see my body and its proportions and how best to flatter what was important to me while maintaining my own style. She helped me purge pieces I'd been 'hanging onto' but never wearing, resulting in a closet where I could "see" what I had. Michelle did my colors and taught me about the importance of "the basics" as well as introducing me to a whole range of colors I wouldn't have known could be so flattering on me. Being somewhat of a clothes freak, Michelle transformed my life in such a way that my life has become much calmer and simpler while still being super fun!! Michelle is insightful, savvy, supportive, encouraging and absolutely lovely to work with!!! read more

Michelle is a true find. I learned a lot about what looks best on me and what colors to choose. She initially took the time to gain insight into my lifestyle and personality. She then took my measurements from head to toe and gave me a sense of what styles, colors and designers would suit me best. Having this information has given me great ammo for shopping for myself. I did a shopping session with Michelle and it was such a treat! She prepares for the appointment by asking what you already have, what you need and what you are looking for. She builds upon that and then adds an extra flair of what she thinks would look great on you. The outfits (including shoes and accessories!) she put together in a few hours would have taken me forever to find. If you hire Michelle, you will end up saving precious time and getting clothes that truly compliment you. I have received many compliments on the clothes Michelle has picked out for me. I feel inspired and excited about my wardrobe again. Michelle has an expert eye. She is honest, intuitive and kind. Without reservation, I highly recommend Michelle! read more

Michelle is a true ROCK STAR. She takes the idea of color and clothes and whirls them into style...a style to call your own! She is the most energetic person I have had the pleasure of working with in a very long time. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She is very knowledgeable but even more important, she is very intuitive. No closet should be without her expertise. Everything comes together and she takes the stress out of shopping and dressing....and who doesn't need less stress in their life! read more

Michelle was my stylist angel who jumped right in and helped me prepare for an upcoming photo shoot for my business. I joke that I was raised by boy-wolves and that I really needed a stylist, but never thought about actually affording/hiring one. Michelle was worth every penny and really helped me to understand what was in my wardrobe and what was not; what looked and felt good on me and what did not. It was a fun and fascinating process working with her and I feel so educated and empowered going forward. I had a "Michelle Moment" at a holiday party recently, when someone I hadn't seen for a while came up to me and complimented me on my look. The words she used could have been EXACTLY what Michelle's mission is: the colors I had on, the pairing of the top with the cords, my hair and (minimal) make-up all came together for a fantastic look. Michelle is a joy to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more
