Meet Stephanie

For years my closet has been stressing me out: it was cluttered, full of things that I no longer wore but was not certain if I should get rid of (now that I am becoming a more "mature" woman), and had no rhyme or reason to it. I invariably would wear boring outfits (jeans paired with any top that was within reach) everywhere I went. What a gift to myself to have found Sitting Pretty! Aside from Stephanie being a delight to spend time with (and, let's face it, it does take time to go through an entire closet), her organizational skills, attention to detail, professionalism, energy level, fashion sense, and tactful honesty is off-the-charts. She was empathetic about my choices to keep certain special pieces while being very honest about what was outdated or no longer flattering. I got rid of about 10 bags of clothing (which I have not missed for a minute) and have a newfound love for the clothing that remained since she was able to come up with beautiful combinations that I would never have thought of myself. I have actually SAVED money by using her services: I have not needed to buy any new clothing since I now "shop" in my newly organized and beautiful closet filled with her customized outfits. I would highly recommend Stephanie's services for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one.

I love your thoughtful selections!

This was my first time experiencing a closet edit. Stephanie was very professional and knowledgeable. She asked very thoughtful questions to help draw out what I liked and didn't like in my wardrobe. We spent a lot of time getting rid of things that did not fit, were old or out of style. With the clothes that were left she put together beautiful outfit combinations that I would've never thought of. She also helped me build a list I should consider purchasing to maximize my outfits. I was very thankful for the help.

 Stephanie did an amazing job first personal shopping for me and then curating outfits for general work use and special events. She took the time to talk to me and find out my style, and sent me thorough links to outfits from several stores that fit my style. She then came over to my home to help me coordinate the outfits and organize them within my closet, pulling items to match that I did not even know existed in my closet! She works with a smile, and with extreme kindness and enthusiasm about what she does. She is a professional and seeks perfectionism by making sure the outfits worked from head to toe, and making suggestions of items I both needed and didn’t need when she was here. Thank you Stephanie I can’t wait to wear my new outfits! You are amazing at what you do! I highly recommend!!!

 Stephanie is terrific!  I needed help updating my wardrobe in anticipation of a new job.  Stephanie came highly recommended by a neighbor, and I now see why!  She took the time on the front end (at no charge) to get to know me, my style, my budget, and my wardrobe goals.  She then did a terrific job of finding me new, work-suitable pieces that fit within all of those parameters, but also sometimes stretched a bit past my prior comfort zone (which was one of my goals with this endeavor).  Stephanie did this through a combination of online shopping (i.e., sending me clear, easy-to-use emails showing photos of, and including links to, a variety of pieces at each of six separate stores) and an in-person shopping day at a high-end department store (where she pre-selected items for me to try on and then helped me through a whirlwind try-on session at the store, where I tried everything on and then she and I worked together to narrow down the "looks great" set to those I would ultimately buy).  Throughout, Stephanie was honest with her feedback, full of energy and excitement, and very good at finding items (in store and online) that were in my wheelhouse, both style- and price-wise.  Working with Stephanie was a ton of fun, and I'm happy to report that I've now found myself a stylist to work with for the long haul, as I continue to need new items and updates over the years!  A very satisfied customer!

 First and foremost this was an empowering experience. I was able to work with Stephanie to build a wardrobe that works with my body as it is today and works with where I live. Stephanie was able to work with most of what I already have and was able to tell me both what I need to add and what I needed to get rid of. It was a respectful and comfortable experience and I’m so grateful to her for sharing her knowledge with me. I’ve already use two of the outfits and I felt so good!! I felt like I fit in with the people around me, it was so wonderful. I look forward to doing the same process in the fall. If you’re on the fence about using her services I’m here to push you off the fence! Just do it!

 Stephanie is my fairy godmother!  She came to my house and we tried on everything in my closet. She assembled and snapped photos of outfits she created from my clothes that I will feel fabulous in. She efficiently helped me sort the weeds out of my wardrobe, guiding me on what to donate and keep. She left me with a garden of flowers that I now enjoy admiring every time I open my closet. I will feel like the belle of the ball for everything from everyday casual to elegant black-tie.   Stephanie displays the utmost in professionalism, courtesy, communication and genuine interest in curating outfits I’ll feel amazing in. Within a couple days of wardrobe editing, she sent me an extensive list of links to items that would patch up the holes in my wardrobe. She suggested innovative ways to elevate my outfits with things like scarves, layering tees and tanks, and proper shoes to complete the look.   While I was shopping online, she was available by text to help me refine the selections, choose sizes and colors. She responded to me faster than my kids do!  I will look and feel like a million bucks thanks to Stephanie. Now I know what it’s like to be a celebrity with a personal stylist. She knows my likes and dislikes, my body type and budget. I’ll never buy another scrap of clothing without consulting her.   I can’t wait to have Stephanie back for Round 2 of working my new pieces into my edited wardrobe and finding a couple gems to add to my collection every season.   I wish I had met Stephanie years ago before I bought things with no guidance. Her expertise and passion for fashion is readily apparent. And I am delighted I made a new friend as well. She felt like a cherished sister with her honesty, enthusiasm, and candid recommendations. She is on my side and I know people will tell me, à la Billy Crystal, “you look marvelous!” And I’ll feel it too!   I’m so grateful she was recommended to me and I have already recommended her to all my friends, female and male!

 Stephanie, I just wanted say thanks so much for yesterday! It was really productive and I so appreciated your process of moving through my various wardrobe needs. 

-Jonathan S., closet edit & outfit curation

I feel so much more confident dressing thanks to you. You helped me embrace my style and not try to be anyone’s else style. 

-A. Goldstein, wardrobe management

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She helped me pick out many options and didn't leave until I felt good about my choices and myself.  Highly recommend - do this for yourself!
