WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
I have felt SO GREAT getting dressed.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Rachel. I was in a rut before working with her, to say the least. I have a three year old and have been working remotely for two years, so I had been dressing primarily for comfort/convenience and she helped me do still those things while still looking put together.
I have felt SO GREAT getting dressed lately. I have worn more of my clothes/shoes/jewelry in the last few months than I have in the last 36+.
I have struggled cleaning out my closet in the past and she really helped me focus on what my style is, how I want to present myself to the world, and ultimately what I feel my best in. She also did a great job selling some of my old pieces that still had life!
The shopping trip was also just what I needed to add some fresh splashes and find what sparked joy and rounded out my wardrobe. I put together a lot of my own looks now using her trips/tricks and will text her for quick "approval" or advice (ie: which shoes?! tucked or untucked!) If you are feeling like you could use a style pick me up, working with Rachel is worth every penny!

Rachel puts you first, even when you aren’t putting you first.
I decided to work with Rachel because I was feeling a little lost. I needed extra support—an outside voice and an outside perspective—to put me back in touch with myself.
Rachel made sure that we were focusing on what actually matters when it comes to a building a wardrobe. We weren’t talking about sizing or brand names or tips and tricks to make me look thinner—we were talking about the deeper philosophies behind how I want to show up in the world. What I want to communicate. What clothes can do for me. How my clothes can serve the larger purpose of my style.
Rachel acted like a translator, taking pieces of what I know and what I like and turning them into a cohesive closet that I don’t think I ever could have put together myself! She really listened and reacted to my gut instincts, but she wasn’t afraid to share her own opinions or her expertise alongside them. She kept us committed to one mission and one mission only: expressing my style. That’s the beauty of this process—Rachel puts you first, even when you aren’t putting you first.
I know that I’m going to take some major learnings away from this process, and that I’ll be able to come back to Rachel in multiple different chapters of my life as I need to rekindle my connection with my style.

I feel lighter and happier!
I worked with Rachel to do a closet cleanse as the seasons are changing, and I feel so much lighter and happier thinking about my fall look! Before we got started with my actual clothes, we sat down and talked through my style vision which really helped create clarity around how to proceed when letting go of clothing, and also when shopping. While doing this, I realized how easy Rachel was to open up and talk to, I had been nervous about having her in my personal space. She explained if an item doesn't match the vision, then it doesn't belong in my closet.
As a graphic designer, I take a lot of pride in the items in my closet as it's a creative outlet and a direct reflection of who I am. I had problems overthinking my style to the point of always choosing the "safe" things the last few years, but now I have a clear vision to be bold, unique, intentional, edgy, and feminine. As a graphic designer, I know showing up with a look I feel confident in will show in my communication with clients and in interviews. This was such a positive and valuable experience, thank you Rachel!

I have a renewed sense of joie de vivre.
If you're like me, maybe you thought you knew how to get dressed. I had a closet full of stuff that mostly fit, was mostly inoffensive, and was mostly comfortable. But it didn't really reflect ME—at all. I didn't know it could. I didn't realize how much potential I had lurking in my closet to be unleashed! Since working with Rachel I have (1) an organized, inspiring closet (2) jeans—multiple pairs!!—that actually fit and look amazing (3) a bunch of items that I can mix and match to looks that feel like my own (4) more confidence shopping for items on my own (5) more trust in my own fashion instincts and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I have a renewed sense of joie de vivre. I'm showing up differently and it feels great.
If you're feeling a little lackluster, like you're not showing up in your full power—and you don't know why—hire Rachel. She's sweet, smart, charming and make the whole vulnerable process of wardrobe reinvention FUN.
Thank you Rachel! I can't wait to work with you again!
She brought out natural style instincts in me!
Working with Rachel was a total inspiration! I had never worked with a stylist before so I was not sure what to expect. Rachel went above and beyond with her organization, communication and styling tips. We spent 3 hours together auditing my closet and finding ways to combine my current wardrobe into new styles. It was amazing to learn from her and I feel like she brought out some natural style-instincts in me that I never knew I had.During our session, she was positive, honest, respectful and creative. Our session felt like a smart and worthwhile investment for me in my personal voice, confidence and expression. Highly recommend!

It's so much easier to decide what to wear every day!
Rachel took the time to really help me not only understand my style, but discover the 'why' behind why I loved the looks I loved.
She opened my eyes to all the ways I could embrace my style with the clothes in my current closet, and thoughtfully suggested key items to add to my wardrobe. I can't tell you how valuable it was to work with Rachel for taking both my personal and my professional style to the next level.
Now it's so much easier to decide what to wear every day, and I feel a lot more confident in putting together outfits. Rachel is also super sweet and a lot of fun - working with her is like grabbing coffee with a friend and talking about clothes!

Your ‘self’ will thank you!
Before I started meeting with Rachel you could probably call my style "whatever fit" and ensured I wouldn't get sent home from work for being inappropriate. Rachel never made me feel like that wasn't a style, or that I looked frumpy (which I know now that I did), but started simple.. suggesting a couple colors that would look good with my skin/hair color and then started asking a couple probing questions that got me thinking how easy this could be. She was quick to learn my tastes and showed me a lot of ways to put outfits together that made me feel really good about myself and that stirred me to workout even harder and keep feeling that strong sense of "self."
After a couple visits she knows she can get me to try on a couple things outside my comfort zone - and thank goodness - because they look amazing and are some of my favorite pieces! If you're on the fence about hiring a stylist...just meet Rachel once. You'll be all in and your "self" will thank you!

I learned a ton along the way!
Rachel Michael combines humor, compassion, and super savvy fashion sense in her personal styling service. From the closet cleanse, where I tried on every piece of clothing in my closet so we could discover which pieces made me shine and which I didn't feel great in...to the personal shopping experience, where Rachel identified fun pieces for me to try based on the goals I shared and her creative syle ideas...to the lookbook, which combines pieces I already had in fashion-forward ways that I would never have imagined, I am 100% satisfied with her service. Truly personalized, and I learned a ton along the way!

I have more creative ways to wear my clothes.
Personal styling is the future of clothes shopping. Gone are the days toiling between racks and hundreds of websites steeped in buyers regret and indecision. No more having to guess what to wear or what pairs well. No more long lines waiting in overcrowded department stores. Rachel has taken care of all the stress for you.
Its a focused, intentional and efficient service to dress and shop for ones self that saves money and time in the long term while being wonderfully and authenticly you.
I'm very fortunate to have tried her full session package that includes: wardrobe edit, shopping spree, and 2 hour styling session with items in my closet. My closet looks completely different: clean, organized and accessible with pieces I absolutely love. I have more creative ways to wear my clothes so I dont feel like I'm repeating the same outfit over and over again.
Rachel has me hooked and I don't want to go back.

I went into my job interviews feeling confident!
Before working with Rachel, my feelings toward shopping were that I don't want to do it…ever! I was drawn to Rachel because she's always wearing a smile and has an extremely helpful and positive outlook - she makes it feel possible to find clothing that you feel good in. I was also drawn to her because she, in her own words, has been every size. She understands that shopping isn't easy for most women because they don't fit the mold of how standard/off the rack clothing is made.
Even though I was on a schedule the day we met to shop, I still felt relaxed. I was confident Rachel would push me to try new things but wouldn't push me to wear anything I didn't feel great in. She is great at feeling what you're feeling when you're trying on clothes. Any time I didn't feel great in a piece of clothing, she immediately encouraged me to disqualify the item. She was so kind, relaxed, and fun to be with. I walked away with a great business casual outfit for interviewing and went into my job interviews feeling confident!

I get so many compliments on my clothes!
I didn't really have a "style" before working with Rachel. I didn't focus on what I liked, it was more just if it fit and would be work appropriate. Rachel opened my eyes to what I truly like in my wardrobe and has helped me become confident in myself. I enjoy going to my closet everyday and picking what to wear instead of dreading it.
Rachel is so personable and down to earth. She didn't make me feel bad about anything I had in my closet, instead she made me look at what I had in my closet in a whole new way. She helped me see items that go together that I would have never put together myself.
I get so many compliments on my clothes, and it's all due to Rachel. With her expertise and professionalism, you can't go wrong working with her! Enjoy every moment being able get her advice, you won't regret it.

Getting dressed each morning is so effortless!
Rachel made my experience of dressing each morning so effortless! I had an over-crowded closet filled with pieces I didn't wear. She gave me options for pieces I couldn't figure out how to pair, and just made the decision unemotional for me.
My closet is so pretty and clean now! I've kept it that way for nearly a year. So grateful for this process! Rachel is awesome.

I found my style!
I have always had a difficult time discarding clothing items that were still in good shape and still fit well despite no longer being at the height of fashion. Having facilitated my wardrobe redo by checking the contents of my closet, Rachel quickly grasped my style preferences and was able to give solid advice on new purchases that complimented what I already owned. In addition, she encouraged me to branch out and include some new colors along with styles that were a bit different from my standard choices.
What I most appreciated about Rachel was her ability to understand my needs and budget as well as her understanding of why I liked what I liked......She always willingly worked within my boundaries. Rachel is a warm, caring professional who will help you find your style and have it reflect who you are!

She took A LOT of the work out of getting rid of clothes.
I was five months postpartum with my second kid. I had met Rachel and we connected instantly. I told her my goal for the new year was to overhaul my wardrobe to fit my evolving style and body. We did just that.
She visited my home and we dove right into my wardrobe. She left me feeling comfortable letting go of clothes that no longer fit me, brought me no joy, and were simply worn out and time to let go. She was very prepared with bags to toss clothes into. She took all the purged clothes with her.
She took A LOT of work out of getting rid of clothes that no longer serve a purpose. That is half the battle of overhauling a wardrobe. A year later my closet is still clean and organized.
Since my closet cleanse we've gone shopping and that experience was great. My only wish is that I would have been in a better mental state over my body after kid two. However, she made me feel comfortable trying on clothes past my comfort zone to find pieces I love.
Since doing business with her I've shed ALL of the baby weight and then some. Her social media has been great education on utilizing my existing wardrobe in a new way. I am having a blast with this and I can't wait to go shopping again with her... VERY Soon! Thank You Rachel.

I now have confidence that what I put on looks good!
The Shopping Experience was with out a doubt the best shopping experience I've ever had, and Rachel did so much pre-shopping it was easy to quickly hone in on the styles that not only fit my body but that I also didn't know that I liked! The 'virtual closet' and follow up checklist included in The Shopping Experience gives me the confidence to now experiment with what I already have in my closet.
Rachel is so easy to talk to and work with! Her knowledge and confidence gave me the confidence to ask style questions that I didn't know I cared about. I care so much more about what I put on when I go out, because I now have confidence knowing that what I put on looks good.
