Coquette Style

I was sort of skeptical to use a personal shopper. I wanted to make sure the person would understand my style and budget. Stephanie did just that and beyond. She really listened to what I was looking for during our initial consultation. She looked through my existing clothes, asked lots of questions, and took copious notes. I gave her a budget of what I wanted to spend and off to shop she went. When she returned a few weeks later she brought me lots of clothes to choose from. I tried them on, some new outfits, and some pieces to complement what I already had. Stephanie was honest about what worked. She gave me tips and pointers on what to pair together. And most helpful, she gave me ideas about how to better accessorize any outfit (not my strong suit). I love my new clothes! I would recommend Stephanie to anyone wanting to spruce up their wardrobe, does not have time or like to shop.

I am wearing a cute little black and gray silk dress that Stephanie found for me. I wear it with flats and black leggins, and belted. I just got yet another compliment on the dress. Really, everytime I wear this dress I get at least two compliments. I love everything Stephanie has found for me.

I’ve worked with Stephanie at Coquette Style a few times now and have been really happy with the service. I had been feeling like my clothes were tired and ill-​fitting after my second child was born, and didn’t really have time to shop. Stephanie came to my house and went through my closet with me and confirmed that my wardrobe was lacking. She made a list of things I needed and went shopping. A few weeks later, she was back at my house with dozens of things to try on, and an hour later I had a lot of great new stuff. It works pretty well — you only pay for what you actually keep, plus a 15% markup. It might take a couple of tries for her to figure out your fit and what looks good on you, and there is no pressure to keep anything she brings. If you are not 100% sure, she won’t let you keep it. You also pay her an hourly fee for the time she is at your house (but not for her time shopping). And the best part? Stephanie is a SERIOUS bargain hunter. Sometimes the stuff she brings me is from Loehman’s or Nordstrom Rack and marked down 40−60% or more from the original prices. So that 15% markup is usually more than paid for. Since I have been working with Stephanie 1−2x per year, I have been getting regular compliments on how I look. People always think that I’ve lost weight — but mostly, it’s just that I now have flattering clothes that fit.
