How To Prepare For Your Virtual Consultation
I’m really looking forward to our call! This is going to be great. If you’re the type of person who likes to prepare, I’ve put together some notes on what to expect and some things you can do in advance to ensure we make the most of our time together.
On the call, we will…
Identify and discuss your goals
Review the existing pieces you’d like to be included in your lookbook
Discuss ideal qualities in prospective outfits
Before we meet, you can…
Complete your styling assessment
Set aside some pieces from your wardrobe
Think on/Jot down some notes on some questions
I have put specifics in the notes below. Talk soon!

Complete your Styling Assessment
This will take around 10-15 minutes and it gives me lots of practical information and inspiration to draw on when building outfits for you. If I receive these answers in advance, I can begin a mood board before our call. Reviewing some visuals is a great way to make sure we are on the same page.
Set aside some pieces from your wardrobe
Don’t worry, we won’t be combing your entire closet! I’m specifically interested in items that fall into the following categories:
These pieces fit and I wear them a lot.
I love these pieces but I never wear them.
These pieces don’t fit how I like but I would wear them a lot if they did.
For the sake of time, I recommend laying out these items before our call and choosing no more than 5 items in each category. This will be a judgment-free space and time. It is totally fine if you don’t have any items that fit in one of the categories. Or if the pieces that you wear a lot are not meeting your style or fit goals right now. This part of the process is not for drawing conclusions, simply gathering information to inform the direction we take.
Questions We Will Talk Through
What is the main occasion for this lookbook? What are two crossover occasions?
An example could be…
Main Occasion: Work (Business Casual)
Crossover Occasion #1: Office/Christmas Party
Crossover Occasion #2: Dates/Nights Out with Friends
What do you struggle with most when dressing for your main occasion?
Choose an item of clothing that you wear a lot. What do you like about it? Why do you wear it a lot?
Where do you currently shop the most?
Anything specific you’re really hoping to see in your lookbook? Any questions for me?
This is a friendly reminder that you’re not being graded ;) There are no right or wrong answers.
FAQs
Q: What do I need for the call?
A: We will use FaceTime, so you’ll need a hands-free place to set your phone or computer so you can easily hold up or try on your clothing items. Bring your notes if you took them and your favorite beverage.
Q: What should I wear for the call?
A: I recommend wearing a tank/tee that allows you to easily pull something over it and a comfy pair of pants.
