Mode In Style

Val came over and spent about 40 minutes with me talking about my current style and what I wanted to accomplish from our sessions together. She asked a lot of great questions and seemed to have a good idea of my style and needs.
The closet purge was next. It was refreshing to get a second opinion on items that I was not sure I liked anymore, and on what pieces go with what. We took out a couple bags of clothes and shoes to donate, and put together a bunch of outfits in order to figure out what to shop for on our next get-​together.
On our next visit, Val met me in San Francisco and we started at the DSW for shoes. I’m a size 5 so it’s tough for me to find anything stylish. I loved that place and we ended up buying about 5 new pairs of shoes.
I had a gift card at Macy’s so we did the majority of our shopping there. Val was great at finding the items on our list and picking out new cute clothes for me to try on. I tried on a bunch of items that I would have never picked out for myself — and bought them.
I would definitely recommend Val’s services. She has a lot of great energy, priceless fashion advice, and she’s a pleasure to spend the day with shopping!

So, I went shopping with Val yesterday. I am getting ready for a big trip and wanted some fun things to spruce up my wardrobe. When I worked with her before, we went through my existing clothes. This time she took me shopping. I was on a tight budget, and she worked with that. She was able to pull tons of stuff for me to try on. The worse part is that I liked mostly everything she picked but had to narrow it down because of my budget. She calculated everything so I new exactly what I was spending. Less than $ 200 later, I am a very happy girl with a fresh, new outlook on my wardrobe once again. Thanks Val!!!

Val is an incredible spirit with a fun fashion sense. She can help with whatever is troubling you in the clothing department — cleaning out your closet, rediscovering things you thought you’d never wear again, or going shopping for something special. She’s budget conscious and is great at getting you to try on things you might not pick for yourself but look great. I was feeling pretty bored of the things in my closet and shopping in general. For not very much money she was able to really spruce things up. She’s also very helpful at showing people how to dress for their body type, not cardboard cutouts from magazines. Consulting with Val is definitely worth a try and not the prohibitively expensive experience you might think it is.

There is not a city big enough for Val and her personality! She’s full of life, energy and the pursuit of your greatness. She genuinely cares about people and thoroughly evaluates how she can help you to look better, feel better and put your best foot forward!
As a Yoga instructor, I found myself in Yoga pants, a t-​shirt and a sweatshirt combo pretty much every day. So my goal was to look cuter «on the go» and on a super low budget! We purged my closet (great call), talked about my needs, my lifestyle, my image and then went shopping.
Before we left I was thinking, this is so not going to work. I hate thrift store shopping, I don’t fit into anything and everything is out of date.
Much to my surprise there were tons of cool finds! I walked out with three bags of clothes and most of it I NEVER would have picked off the rack! Val is great at putting items together and accessorizing.
Val listens and reads your reactions through this process to help guide the way. She also understands how to keep you enthusiastic… shopping is hard work! Val is wonderful at encouraging you to think beyond your box too.
I’m so grateful to have had this experience!

My husband gave me a day with Val for my birthday – this was the best birthday present ever! Val was great – honest and supportive. She helped me buy several nice pieces for my wardrobe, and her advice and insight made me look at my existing clothes differently. It was a fun day and I’ll never shop the same way again.
