A Sharp Dressed Man

Jennifer helped me to change not only my wardrobe, but my life along with it.
If you’re considering whether or not a personal shopper or style consultation is worth the time and expense, I will respond by saying the opportunity cost of NOT hiring Jennifer is far greater.
Prior to updating my clothing to a proper fit and modern style, I can only imagine the number of experiences I missed and time I had wasted. In the past…
— I had spent hours in stores searching for clothes that I thought looked right, only to realize later that they didn’t, or worse, NOT realizing they didn’t. (Jennifer rapidly schooled me on my misunderstanding of what «fits» means. The transformation was amazing.)
— I would occasionally step into a more expensive store hoping to find better options, but I would inevitably walk out with one or two overpriced items or empty handed. (Jennifer took my budget into account and got me into some higher-​end brands at huge discounts that look and feel fantastic.)
— I struggled with even the simplest decisions, like pairing shoes to my pants or whether to tuck in a shirt or leave it out, ending up frustrated. (Jennifer patiently considered all my questions and helped me decide what looks best and which shoes and materials are most proper for formal, business, social evenings or casual occasions.)
— Worst of all, I would frequently decline social, business and dating opportunities for years simply because I didn’t know what to wear to the event! When I did go out, I would sometimes notice the looks from people eyeing my clothes and would know that I stuck out like a sore thumb. I promise you, these were not imagined experiences.
And now? This may sound rather overstated, but it’s not: my life is completely different because of Jennifer’s help. I have more confidence and have increased my social life dramatically. I now confidently say, «Yes, I’ll go to that…» networking event or business meeting. I’ve successfully begun attracting the attention of potential business partners and single women interested in dating (without trying). My boss, colleagues, family and friends have ALL commented on my new clothes and appearance. I carry myself with greater esteem and have taken on leadership opportunities at work. I’ve officially lost count of the number of times I’ve heard, «I LOVE that jacket» or «that shirt» or «those shoes»!
I’ve used Jennifer’s service 3 times, not including the couple of random questions I texted to her, to which she responded quickly. First, Jennifer listened to my needs to get an idea of my style preferences. Then she came by my house for a closet edit, followed by Fall and Spring shopping trips to restock my wardrobe.
Not only am I thrilled with my decision and the investment (and it IS in investment in myself, which is already paying dividends), but I cannot fathom going back to shopping the old way. While the education I received from Jennifer has armed me with some ability to manage a shopping experience on my own, I simply can’t imagine bothering to go without her! I used to positively loathe clothing shopping to the extent that I would only go once or twice a year, and then continue to wear those clothes for years and years until they were worn out completely.
Now? I actually enjoy selecting from the menu of clothing Jennifer has provided in order to look my best for ANY event. I know that each time I need more clothes, Jennifer will have pre-​selected a raft of excellent options when I show up at the store, and I will need only check the fit and buy the clothes. She has suggested items that matched and expanded my style-​repertoire, and I will call upon her for all my future style and clothing needs.
You owe it to yourself and everyone around you to become the best version of yourself. There’s no better way to instantly boost your confidence than by looking like A Sharp Dressed Man.
(Please note: this is NOT a compensated review… I just really, really appreciate Jennifer’s work)

Jennifer is really talented. She has a great fashion sense and picked out some amazing pieces that fit my personal style. One of the best parts of her service is she knows where to shop. I got a deal on most of the items I bought. I would highly recommend her.

Can’t say enough. Jennifer is the answer to looking great and making the shopping process effortless. Whether you like to shop or not, she helps you prioritize based on your budget and provides and expert opinion on what looks good and what to avoid. Great experience!

Jennifer was great — professional, knowledgeable, and energetic! She had a good sense of my style and fashion needs, gave me a lot of choices, and was teaching me about styling in the process.
We met beforehand to go over what I was looking for and what I needed in my wardrobe and to take some measurements.
A few weeks later, we met at the store and she had a dressing room full of clothes to try on. Even though my sizes were not standard (falling in between two sizes), she tirelessly went back and forth to find the right fit or to work with the tailor to alter it just right. I went a little bit over what I had planned to spend but I feel like I came away with a great value and a wardrobe that makes me feel excited to get dressed in the morning!
After we were done, Jennifer sent me an email summarizing what I had gotten with measurements so I am better equipped to shop in the future.

A pleasure to work with. Made shopping fun. Got a fresh new look. Was great. Highly recommend. And snagged some complements on my new look at recent meetings.

I desperately needed to upgrade my wardrobe and dress more like an adult, so I sought Jennifer’s help after seeing all the positive Unilocal reviews on here.
While you might end up spending a nice chunk of money between the clothing and her services, I couldn’t have asked for more from her. You get what you pay for.
All e-​mail communications were addressed quickly and professionally and our initial consultation was as convenient as can be. Jennifer met me in my office building and we went through a full questionnaire she had prepared. After getting my feedback and expectations, we set up a date for the shopping.
Upon arriving at the stores, Jennifer had already put in a ton of effort arranging everything before you even get there and this made the process pretty painless. It was a whirlwind of trying on various outfits, noting the fits of the different brands, and coming to agreement on what looks best and what doesn’t.
In the end, I was able to totally revamp my wardrobe and was very happy with my purchases. From begging to end, Jennifer was a true professional and I could not have asked for more. Considering how long the wardrobe revamp will last me (not to mention the value in learning which brands and sizes fit me best), I found the experience worth the splurge.

Awesome. Simply awesome.
Growing up, I had never been too worried about what I wore. To me, clothes were just clothes and I didn’t give styling much thought. So when I moved to the Chicago area a few months ago and a few of my friends recommended some style updates, you could say I was a bit surprised. The more I thought about it, the more I decided a wardrobe update was clearly needed, and after some searching around I found Jennifer. I’m so glad I did! Jennifer had ideas and styles for me to try on and her pre-​shopping made my experience a painless one. Because of her, I was able to find styles that were tailored just to me. Shirts and pants that were in my price range, contoured to my body, and felt GREAT. Not only did Jennifer give her honest opinion on clothes, but she happily gave me suggestions for which clothes went well together and which to stay away from (and I needed some definite direction here). Overall, I feel so much more comfortable and confident in my new clothes, and I have no doubt Jennifer was the right woman for the job.
If nothing else, it’s worth noting that I rarely use Unilocal and this is my very first review. Jennifer deserved every bit of it.

Well this review is LONG overdue (Jennifer, I apologize) but there is not enough I can say about the experience with Jennifer. I found her two years ago and was reluctant to try her out, or any other personal shopper, because I was worried that she couldn’t really find good outfits for a man in his mid 40’s. Boy was I wrong! Not only did Jennifer put me in styles that really complimented my frame and skin tone, but she was able to transform my style from one that was non-​existent to one where I am not ashamed to go out in public and show off all the clothes she picked. I receive so many compliments, I have lost count. Going out socially doesnt bring me apprehension because I know I have something that looks good and I look good in it.
I wholeheartedly recommend anyone try out her service as you will not be disappointed. She is WELL worth the expense and you will be so happy in the end. I use her frequently and look forward to each session we have together. She is going to transform my entire wardrobe. Her knowledge is top notch. Never doubt her, trust her, and LISTEN to her. She is the best!

I hired Jennifer to help my husband shop for a new wardrobe. She was fantastic! Seriously folks, she was professional and was able to understand my husbands style and requirements in one meeting. All of the clothes she picked out were perfect and we were both so pleased with the results! A new wardrobe from underwater to suits in 3 shopping trips !! And this included fittings. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough. My husband looks charming and handsome in his new clothes, and best of all the FIT! No more saggy pants and baggy shirts! Thanks Jennifer!

important facts about me: I’m a slob, I like way oversized clothes, and I hate shopping. I’m definitely missing that gene. I may as well be color blind in terms of putting stuff together.
I had a great experience with Jennifer. I received a consultation as a gift and Jennifer listened to my likes/​dislikes and then explained why she would choose certain clothing over others. All of it made sense. The shopping day itself was about as painless as it could be (I hate shopping so having everything picked out ahead of time was pure fried gold).
I also learned a ton about clothing from Jennifer — like the difference between a dress shirt and casual button down shirts (seriously, I’m that style-​stupid. Jennifer had her work cut out for her.) She also taught me what was appropriate to wear for particular occasions.
Christmas Eve — I looked great. Sport coat (now i know the difference between a sport coat and a suit coat), great shirt, and spankin pants. Lots of complements.
Plus I’m much more confident about wearing clothing that I would have never even considered before because I didn’t know how to size it correctly, or when to wear it, or what to wear it with.
This was a big investment but it was worth every penny.
Thank you Jennifer!

Gentlemen,
If you feel that no clothes fit your body, if you are sick of trying on shirt after shirt, if you are sick of settling on clothes only to get rid of then after 2 wears – there is hope. You need to stop what you are doing and call Jennifer now. Jennifer knows what she is doing.
I was skeptical when my wife told me that she got me a personal shopper. I thought I would be blowing a lot of coin, only to get things that didn’t fit right. I was convinced that I needed custom clothing. Jennifer not only worked in my budget, but taught me about the brands and clothing that would fit me. I showed up at the store and had a dressing room pre filled with clothing that actually fit right. It was single handedly the best shopping experience that I have had.
Ladies, I strongly suggest you call Jennifer for you significant other today.

To preface this review, this was my 1^st time working with a personal shopper and I am not a very fashion-​savvy gentleman.
Thus my seeking out Jennifer’s services in the first place.
After a call to setup our appointment Jennifer met me at a coffee shop nearby to do an initial consultation to discuss my goals, her methods and take measurements etc. We agreed upon a date to meet at local shops to hammer out a new wardrobe collection that I needed. When I arrived at the store to meet Jennifer she had many items already picked out between the two stores that she had picked out to visit and she made certain that any item that was missed at one location was covered at the next. During my experience with Jennifer It was clear that work method was very savvy, quick thinking and on point. It was obvious to me that she had listened to my taste preferences and knew how to blend those with her own taste and knowledge to find what I was looking for. I found Jennifer’s service to be in a word, awesome. We had a lot of ground to cover and she was very expedient and attentive throughout. In the end I spent a bit more then I had budgeted for but I also I got more then I expected (turns out I had a bit of hard time choosing between blazers and just bought several of them) :) Overall I would highly recommend Jennifer’s services for any guy who is looking for a personal shopper to get quality service from and someone who is professional, a good listener with great taste and vision.

I’ve worked for Nordstrom for two years and have had the pleasure meeting and working for Jennifer. She has a great eye for fashion with knowing all current trends. Every single guy she shops with she nails it.
She brings shopping to a whole new level. **She keeps it fun**. Jennifer’s got a great personality and very kind. If your un sure about style or fashion Jennifer is your go to. I highly recommend her!!!

I’m going to start by saying that going shopping with Jennifer was the only time I actually enjoyed shopping. She makes it fun and has such a great sense of style.
When I arrived at the store, Jennifer had lots of outfits already picked for me. After about two hours we narrowed them down to what looked and fitted the best. I have to say that I get lots of compliments about the way I dress. She even suggested a hairstyle that looks great. By the way, really listen to her, she knows what she’s talking about. She will teach you how to shop for the right clothes.

Jennifer is excellent, professional, smart, and has impeccable taste. I personally hate shopping for clothes which is why I sought her out, but was still weary of this process. She made it painless and, frankly, a joy. I worked with her to update my winter looks after starting a new job, and I will be using her again this summer.

Jen,
Great experience! You surprised me with the volume of apparel you pre-​selected, your tenacity for value and your native intelligence of «all things retail.» I felt as if I had an «insider» working on my behalf who knew me. The comments and inquiries from other shoppers clearly validated the premium experience I received as a result of your experience and work on my behalf. Plus our banter regarding what «made the cut» and what «got tossed» was not intimating. My opinion mattered yet you pushed me and I’m excited about wearing stuff I would have never «seen myself in.»
Count me in from skeptic to advocate… for your service but more importantly, your personal interest in my expression of style/​fashion and all the Stonies you worked with here at One Smooth Stone. You brought a renewed passion for style, fashion and fun to our culture that has been refreshing.
Thanks again.
Kevin

This review is way past due, but I see the results of this service everyday. I met with Jennifer in June and immediately felt comfortable with my decision. She put so much effort into trying to give me what I wanted, while making it seem effortless.
First, Jennifer met me for a consultation and was prepared for anything I wanted to ask. She is very knowledgable about what she can offer and what differs her from her competitors. I threw out my desires and she threw some questions back at me. Very professional, but very casual and confidence affirming as well.
Next came the shopping day. After a few emails and strategizing when to shop based on upcoming sales, we both met for a long, but not long enough day (can’t believe I say this now about shopping lol). She knew my budget, she knew my time, she knew me. She had already gotten to work, she was knowledgable about the store (s) and had me try on everything before buying it. TIP: listen to her, she has a great sense about shopping and what you may like. You can pick up a few shopping tips for next time too.)
IN THE END, I am still happy with my purchase and the service I received. Thank you Jennifer.
P. S. Soon after the shopping experience, a lot of personal tragedies occurred and that is why this review is so late. But I want to give a endearing thank you to Jennifer because she helped me not have an additional problem (s) with my wardrobe. Be confident in what you have to wear can be a real comfort when the unknown comes knocking at your door.

Don’t really want to share my secret but you have to give credit where credit is due. I needed an upgrade and have been thinking about how to make this happen for quite a while when I received a business oriented «Groupon» like coupon. I bought it, let it expire as usual but Jennifer allowed me to extend the deadline which surprised me but I’m glad she did. I was buying the wrong sizes and though my tastes didn’t get blown out of the water, she pushed me to expand my thinking, after all that what she does. I will say that though we still have another round of shopping she’s been worth every penny. Dude, I shouldn’t let you in on my secret but she’s really good. And she’s a smart shopper. I think I saved enough money buying clothes, especially considering how I shop to pay for her services. Saved time and money.

I was in a wardrobe rut and needed a independent third party expert to help me out. During consultation Jennifer asked all the right questions and got a pretty good read of me. She suggested a stress free shopping trip and indeed it was. I abhor clothes shopping so all I had to do was show up and try a bunch stuff on, easy! She even found some great deals so it didn’t get too spendy. Now I have a whole new set of wardrobe building blocks to mx and match for the summer. Done, whee!

My friend Brian who stayed with us recently had to travel in to Chicago on very short notice. He wasnt happy with the clothes he brought for the 5 days that he would be here. He found Jennifer from a recommendation of a friend. He took a cab straight to Michigan Ave from the airport to meet her at a department store.
He was so thrilled with the clothes… the price… and the fact that he was able to make it to dinner (a wee late) that he plans on making it a habit EVERY time he comes to Chicago.. He looked pretty damn good I have to admit. He picked up a bunch of evening clothes and some day staples.
Only one complaint… He bragged about how damn good he looked all weekend. … it really got annoying… so we kicked his ass out of the house a day early. ;)
Regardless, he was so impressed (we all were) with how easy it was… and the outcome… I felt compelled to write a review.
