What I Learned From Styling My First Few Clients
When I started styling clients, I thought I understood fashion in a pretty straightforward way: good outfits come from good pieces, and good pieces come from good shopping. But working with real women—real wardrobes, real budgets, real lifestyles—completely changed how I see style. Very quickly, I realized personal styling isn’t really about clothes at all.

And while those guidelines can be helpful starting points, they often end up doing the opposite of what style should do: make getting dressed easier.

There’s a lot of noise in fashion. New trends every week, endless “must-haves,” and an unspoken pressure to constantly be updating, upgrading, and reinventing your closet.
