Rachele: From Fuzzy to Focused

“I had two reasons for working with an image consultant; my daughter was almost three, so it was time for a refresh and the company where I work was going through an acquisition and the dress code changed. Both personally and professionally it was the perfect time to make sure my outside matched how I felt inside; after all, there is only one chance for a first impression!

While I was eager to work with someone, I thought I wanted to wait until I got into better shape; I didn’t want to go through the pain of trying on a lot of items. Buying jeans and pants can be traumatic for me; trying on several styles to find something that fits right, and not being able to visualize what might work with a bit of altering.

The Michael Bruce Styling team is very professional, highly efficient and made the experience fun. They showed me how to work with existing pieces from my closet and helped me clear the clutter. They made a daunting chore, easy and quick, I saved hours of time and hassle! Since I hate browsing for clothes, it’s very worthwhile to hire a professional. I can purchase what I need for the season, I have a better understanding of my body type and I know how to dress up or down outfits depending on my day. Prior to working with the team, I only had a fuzzy understanding of my style, they helped me focus and curate what my style is so I can present a consistent and clear image.

The experience was worth the time and expense. It’s so empowering to look more like who I really am! Knowing what to wear and how I look each day is one less thing I need to worry about. And Bruce and Pamela really got me; I don’t think I could possibly have had a better experience. I feel wonderful and am eternally grateful.”
