FAQs
I’m done trying to figure out my wardrobe on my own. Where do I start?
Book a Discovery Call.
We’ll talk about what makes getting dressed frustrating and what you actually want to change. I’ll explain how I work and which service, if any, makes the most sense for you.
What if I don’t have a style?
You probably do, but you just don’t know how to define it.
A lot of my clients know what they don’t like. They usually have a few things they reach for over and over, can point to outfits they like on other women and know when something doesn’t feel like them. And that’s a good starting point.
Part of the work we do together is making sense of all of that—identifying common threads, understanding what you actually like and turning it into your personal style that works for your body and life.
Are you going to make me get rid of everything and start over?
No. This isn’t What Not to Wear.
I’m interested in figuring out what—if anything—is already working for you, what could work better with different styling, what’s run its course and needs to go and what’s missing.
Depending on the service that’s right for you, you may not purchase anything new at all. And if you do, the focus will be adding the right things so you can do more with what you already own.
I hate shopping. How much shopping is involved?
Then let me do it for you.
More of my clients hate shopping than like it. They hire me because what they find in stores feels either too old, too young or somehow just not right at all; shopping online is overwhelming; or they’ve tried shopping sales, ordering subscription boxes, Googling, asking ChatGPT and everything else, but their wardrobe still isn’t working.
For services that include shopping, I handle the searching and curating. You make the final choices about what to purchase.
I feel anxious about being judged (my body, my closet, what I’ve been wearing, my Amazon purchases).
This is a judgment-free zone.
You don’t need to lose weight first. Your closet doesn’t need to be organized. You don’t need designer clothes or a certain budget. Nor do you need a firm sense of personal style.
You hire me to meet you where you are and figure out what works for the body and life you have today.
I’m a budget shopper. Are you going to recommend things I’d never spend money on?
Setting your budget is part of your homework.
Before we even begin, we get very specific about all the things—likes, dislikes, aspirations and what you’re comfortable spending. It can vary by category, too. Maybe you’re willing to spend more on shoes, but you refuse to spend $100 on a t-shirt.
I’m not here to convince you to spend more than you’re comfortable spending. I’m here to help you spend your wardrobe budget intentionally on things that work for you right now.
How does virtual personal styling actually work?
Very well, actually!
My process is designed to work virtually, which means we don’t need to stand in your closet together—or even in the same country—to figure out your style, shop or create outfits. You’re busy, which is probably one of the reasons you’re here in the first place.
The exact process depends on the service, but we’ll work together via Zoom video calls and digital tools—including a virtual wardrobe you can access from your phone, tablet or laptop—throughout the experience. You’ll receive clear instructions at every step.
You can see the full breakdown of what’s included and how each service works on my Services page.
Can we work together in person?
If you’re located in Berlin, Germany, portions of your service can be done in person, by request.
For clients elsewhere, my services are designed to be completed virtually. If you’d prefer to have me come to you, that can be arranged with travel expenses added to your service.
Do you earn commission from the clothes you recommend?
Sometimes. I may earn a small affiliate commission from qualifying purchases made through links I provide, at no additional cost to you.
But I don’t recommend pieces based on commission. If the best jeans for you come from a retailer that doesn’t offer commission, I’ll still recommend those jeans to you.
Your style, fit, lifestyle, preferences and budget are the priority.
What does the styling process look like?
It depends on the service that’s best for you.
Some clients already have plenty of clothes that they like, but they just need help turning them into outfits. Others need to add a few more pieces to what they already own to complete their wardrobe. And some are ready for a more exhaustive overhaul.
That’s why I offer different levels of service versus offering a one-size-fits-all approach. At the core of every service? You—what you like, what isn’t working, your body, how you spend your time and what you want to feel like when you get dressed.
