FAQ

Our clothes are a microcosm of who we are, and the goal of working with a personal stylist is to help clients find the clearest path to expressing that.
Most people’s closets contain clothes from past versions of themselves, things they wear but don’t love, things they have no idea how to wear and a few things they love. That chaos makes getting dressed every day a chore, because there is too much to wade through (figuratively and literally).
How we feel about our bodies is often a blocker for expressing ourselves with our style style. Together, we’ll dig into those feelings and move through them to discover the style of your dreams.
Simply put, personal styling subtracts what doesn’t work and adds what’s missing, so your wardrobe reflects who you are.
-
Yes! This is an important part of my work. A closet edit isn't about being ruthless, it's about being honest about what actually gets worn.
Most closets aren't full of "bad" clothes. They're full of clothes you're keeping out of fear of not being able to replace them or clothes from a version of you that doesn't exist anymore. We go through everything together, and I'll tell you exactly what to keep, alter or let go of, and why.
By the end, your closet holds only clothes you actually reach for — no landmines, no guilt pile on the chair.
-
My vibe is ALWAYS judgment free.
Every body can and should have beautiful clothes. There’s no closet too messy for me to handle.
Whether you follow fashion obsessively or don’t know the difference between beige and tan, I got you.
As long as you’re ready for a transformation, we’ll do big things together.
-
No. Your closet should fit your body now, not a fantasy version six months away.
If your friend told you she was punishing herself for her size, what would you say to her? Denying yourself well-fitting clothes until your body changes is doing exactly that — and change might mean weight loss, or it might mean perimenopause, pregnancy or just life. Either way, it won't happen overnight, so you need clothes for right now regardless.
Isn't it better to wear the right clothes now and spend a little on tailoring later, rather than wait for an unknown future date to love your clothes? We style for the body you're living in today, so you can feel comfortable and pulled-together while everything else shifts.

What I like has NOTHING to do with the work I do with my clients. I personalize each client’s transformation to them – their taste, their lifestyle, their body, their needs, their budget. Each of my clients look totally different from each other when our work together is done because our work is based on their desires and needs.
This is exactly why my process begins with style discovery. We’ll figure out your dream style and edit, shop and style based on that – not what I like!
-
I offer both in-person styling and virtual styling.
Wardrobe Editor is based in Manhattan and can travel to Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, New Jersey, Westchester and Connecticut easily.
Live somewhere else? I travel further for an additional fee, or we can work entirely virtually.
My virtual styling clients are located all over the US, so wherever you are, we can work together.

The Next Edition is a partnership that includes some work you need to do. My Next Edition package takes about 15 hours of your time over 6-8 weeks.
Feel like you don't have that much time? Think about how much time you spend during any 6-week period picking out outfits, being stressed about what to wear to events, endlessly scrolling e-commerce sites when you should be paying attention to what's on Netflix, etc. Those 15 hours will save you WAY more hours over the next few years.

Really don’t have time? My Clarity Edit package takes just one day!

Think about the amount of money you’ve spent on clothing items that you never wore. Now think about how that amount could continue to grow for years if you’re left to your own devices for the next 5 or 10 years. The cost of our work together will be significantly less than that. See the Services tab for package pricing.
You can expect to spend $1,000 - $10,000 on clothes depending on price points and the amount of clothing you need.
Want to wear luxury designers head to toe? We’ll probably go higher than the range.
-
Yes! A new role often comes with a new dress code — spoken or unspoken. I help clients upgrade their wardrobes for leadership, speaking gigs, career changes and executive travel. Think of it as career insurance. You walk into the room looking like the person you are (or are becoming) professionally, without second-guessing if your outfit sends the right message.
-
Absolutely. A move is one of the best times to work with a stylist because you’re already editing and packing. I help clients consolidate closets, decide what’s worth bringing, and build a wardrobe that works no matter where you’re living. Instead of hauling piles of clothes you don’t wear, you start fresh with the ones you love.
-
This will happen and is a normal, expected part of the process. No matter how thorough we both are, there will always be a few things you don’t like and that is OK! As long as you tell me why, I can learn from that and keep refining.
-
Yes! That’s part of why you hire me. I’m not here to let you waste money or closet space on things you won’t wear. If something isn’t working, I’ll tell you, explain why and give you a better option.

I shop online for you and deliver a custom digital shopping list with pieces that fit your style, budget, and body right now. You buy directly, and I’ll guide you on what to keep, what to send back during our try on session. No more scrolling endless pages or guessing if something will work — I do the legwork, you get the good stuff.
If we’re working together in-person, you can choose to shop virtually (with an in-person try on with me) or in-store.
-
I know you’re busy, so I offer client appointments 7 days a week, both during the days and evenings. We’ll find a time that works for your schedule.
I love chatting with my clients via email, text and DM and generally reply as quickly at most times. My digital communication guidelines are:
Working Hours: Monday - Friday: 11am - 7pm
I will respond to all messages within 12 business hours
