To ensure the efficiency and success of our shopping, we begin with an assessment of the clothes you already have. The wardrobe assessment session is guided by a brief profile you complete before our meeting. We listen to your definition of your style and needs, and we don't push changes on you unless that's what you ask for. You and your juliewatsonstyle consultant will work together to identify what items your wardrobe is missing, then she will create a shopping strategy for you—a customized list of what new clothes you need, and in what stores you're likely to find them in styles that flatter your body and fit your taste. With your budget in mind, your juliewatsonstyle wardrobe consultant will distinguish between absolute necessities, and items that could wait for another trip if necessary.
juliewatsonstyle offers three different types of wardrobe assessments so you can pick the service that best suits your needs:
This appointment is best for women starting from scratch to create an entirely new wardrobe who don't want to build upon the clothes they already have. Prior to your meeting, you fill out a profile, which helps your wardrobe consultant begin to understand your personal goals. A juliewatsonstyle wardrobe consultant meets you at our studio to hear about your specific style goals so she can create your customized shopping strategy. This is also a great option for out-of-town clients who'd like help with their wardrobe but can’t bring their closet to Chicago!
This appointment is best for women short on time. A juliewatsonstyle wardrobe consultant comes to your home and reviews a few of your favorite items from your closet in order to identify your style and create your customized shopping strategy.
This appointment is best for women who want to get both benefits of meeting with a wardrobe consultant—a closet purge and a shopping strategy. A juliewatsonstyle wardrobe consultant comes to your home and together you'll review your entire seasonal wardrobe (spring/summer or fall/winter clothes). Some things you'll need to try on, some things you won't. Based on your definition of your personal style, the consultant will give you respectful feedback to help you understand which clothes work for you, which don't, and why. After this thorough review, your consultant creates your customized shopping strategy.
Your juliewatsonstyle wardrobe consultant will propose a game plan that makes shopping time efficient, focused, and successful. Based on our broad knowledge of the retail landscape, we will only shop in stores that satisfy your lifestyle and fit needs, and fall within your shopping budget. We're never trying to sell you clothes. We work for you, and our recommendations are based on your individual needs. You'll discuss your shopping strategy with your juliewatsonstyle consultant before any shopping to ensure complete alignment of goals and expected outcome.
We offer two options of shopping services: You can choose to shop with your juliewatsonstyle personal shopper, or she can shop for you.
If you'd like to shop as a team, your juliewatsonstyle personal shopper will meet you at the first store we've chosen. We'll maximize your investment by concentrating our efforts on your pre-determined strategy. Together we'll identify what looks great on you, and you decide whether or not to purchase what works. You'll learn about what stores are out there, which are best for you, and why. juliewatsonstyle will save you surprising amounts of time by helping you avoid bringing duds into the dressing room, by pulling the styles and sizes most likely to look great on you, and acting as your personal assistant in all stores.
If you'd like juliewatsonstyle to shop for you, your personal shopper will scour the city for the items needed to fill the wardrobe voids identified on your shopping strategy, purchase them, bring them to our 900 N. Michigan Avenue studio, your house or office for you to try on, and return any pieces you decide don't work.
This appointment is best for clients who want to maximize their existing wardrobe. A juliewatsonstyle look book stylist will 'shop your closet,' teaching you how to look effortlessly put together. We'll reveal looks you never knew you had by reviewing pieces you want to wear more or wear differently, and we'll create a month's worth of unique outfits. Then we'll photograph your new options to create your own personalized look book. Alternatively, this service is perfect for travelers who want to transform haphazard packing into an organized travel wardrobe 'itinerary'!
