Soigne Style Consultants

I’d found myself in such a rut from working from home and being an introvert that I would fret every time I had to get ready to go out for anything, even a quick trip to the office. Amy was able to pull me out of this rut and get me motivated and make it so easy for me to choose great outfits without spending a ton on extra clothes. She helped me find the «holes» in my wardrobe but was able to pull together several outfits with just the clothes I already had! I highly recommend calling her if you’re in a rut with your wardrobe. It’s totally worth it!

My husband wanted to get me a personal shopper for Christmas and found Amy on Unilocal.I am an engineer (jeans/​shirt type) who recently got promoted to manager and wanted to dress a little more professional at work. I hate shopping (can never find the right clothes that fit me) and had no idea of how to ‘put an outfit together’. Amy was wonderful, she met at our house and asked me basic questions to get an idea of what I was looking for. Then she went through my closet to see what I had so far and this was more helpful than I thought it would be. (Thought she would just help me shop).
While going through my closet she did a great job of pointing out the positives on the items I already owned (ie, these are good color choices for you; this would look more professional if you paired it with such-​a-​such, etc). She also helped me trim out the clothes that weren’t working for me. For example, I had 4 dresses but really only 1 fit me ‘correctly’, the other 3 fit, but they didn’t look that great on me and I never knew why. Amy was able to pinpoint the area that wasn’t working (ie for one it was the line that should have been under my bust).
On to the shopping, Amy took me to a couple of places that were tailored to what I was looking for (which I honestly never shopped at before) and she is really good at determining my size and the type of cut that would work for me (ie straight vs trouser pants, which really, I would have no idea there was even a difference!). She was very conscious of my budget and was great at checking the wash requirements (which I often forget to look till I get home… dry clean only? UGH!). She definitely seems to be ‘in the know’ for which stores are having sales and she even knows the differences between makers (brands?). For example when we went to a bigger department store she knew that a certain brand would have the type of clothes that fit me better vs others (vs me shopping by myself would have wasted hours going through every brand section and then giving up after trying ¼ of the stuff). Also what was great while shopping with Amy; each item I was trying on, for example pants, she would tell me what I could pair it with (that top with the blue, with the black cardigan, and your black boots, etc). So I had an idea of how to wear all these new clothes when she was gone.
If you are debating whether to try a personal shopper, I highly recommend it. I was on the fence about this idea but I am so glad I did! I look so great and I’m glad I have more than a couple of outfits to wear to work now.
TL;DR — Amy is awesome, hire her you won’t regret it!

Left to my own devices, I’m a sundress and flip flops kind of girl. But when I need to look more put together (do a better impression of a grown-​up), Amy is my trusty advisor. She has a great eye for the shapes and colors that suit me best, and can accessorize an outfit like nobody’s business. Highly recommend.

To say I was thrilled with the experience of working with Amy at Soigné Style Consultants would be an understatement! My personal challenge with my wardrobe was flat out a lack of vision. I worked with Amy to organize and assess my current wardrobe. We then spent a few hours shopping to find a handful of pieces that would enhance and round out the clothing and shoes I already owned. Finally, Amy put together a fantastic booklet of outfits that I am using daily for ideas and inspiration. Amy was very budget conscious and was not pushy to buy tons of clothes — — that would have been a much easier thing for her to do. Instead, she was careful about picking up a few new pieces so that I could use my current wardrobe in new ways. The other thing I really liked was that Amy was picky about what she let me buy… she was insistent that pieces I buy should be able to serve many different functions within my wardrobe. Finally, she knew just where to shop for clothing and accessories that fit my frame. I have recommended Amy to my closest friends and would definitely encourage anyone who has thought about doing this type of work in the wardrobe to call Amy!

I have used Soigné Style Consultants a few times now, each breathing new life into my tired wardrobe. I still get compliments on shirts that Amy helped me find. Thanks to her, I’ve even developed a slightly better eye for style (going from NONE to SOME was a huge improvement for me!) If I could, I’d keep her on retainer and have her dress me daily but that’d get awkward pretty quickly. Regardless, I can completely recommend her services. If you care about the way you look, it’s worth every minute you spend with her. Take notes.

Amy has been a godsend for my wardrobe and my style. Anyone that knows me knows that my closet is a complete and utter disaster. I have a lot of great stuff, but when I walk into my closet I just shut down and end up throwing on the nearest sundress or warm-​up suit. Amy has shown me how to make looking casual with my lazy Austin style, to looking more fashionista Austin with the right accessories. We’ve gone through my wardrobe and donated things that just didn’t suit my body shape, then added some new key pieces on our shopping excursion. Soigné Style Consultants is really the way to go that won’t break your budget. Need a new grown up professional look? Call Amy. Back on the dating scene after a long hiatus? Call Amy. Just need a makeover? Call Amy. Trust me, know matter how good you think you look, most of us make bad fashion choices even when we think we look all fly. Amy at Soigné Style Consultants will be that honest voice that your friends don’t give you. Now who doesn’t need a little style improvement? It can only make you have some swagger.

I am like most men… I don’t like to shop nor do I have any idea what looks good on me. Amy at Soigné Style Consultants really knows her business. I actually met her through her men’s store Slate which unfortunately closed the first part of 2009 (what a shame!). I am however very happy that she can still shop for me! I had her go through my closet and reorganize plus remove all the out of date clothes (including a suit from 1992!). She also helped me buy shirts and pants that are the right size. Since I lost weight I had been wearing the wrong size and everything seemed to swallow me! Now I look more in shape.
I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personal shopper or just to help you put outfits together.
