A NOTE ON OUR VALUES
We are conscious of the environmental impacts that the fashion industry and over-consumption practices have caused. Our goal as your personal stylist and shopper is to ensure that we don’t make the problem worse.
I love clothes passionately.
And it’s because of this passion, that I feel a strong responsibility to educate my clients not only about how clothes can transform your image, but what clothes have done to our planet. This means being aware of the complexities of the fashion supply chain from manufacturing to end-of-life. It is an extremely complex topic that requires layers of nuance and open-mindness.
Clothes don’t just appear or disappear. Clothes are not disposable.
And we as consumers, are the ones who buy them.
We have so much power in that.
In this day and age, it seems impossible not to buy into a fast-fashion trap. So my goal isn’t to eliminate shopping, but instead to make sure you think about it differently: investing in higher quality items, finding the right items to suit your lifestyle and preferences, prioritized over flattery or trend. Because I know from personal experience (and through watching my client’s transformations!), that when you invest and love your clothes, you actually wear them.
It can be daunting to think about decluttering your closet and the amount of waste you could produce, but rest assured, I will work with you to ensure we are making the most of what we can use. I’ll make sure you have the knowledge you need to create shopping habits that ensure a longer life to your treasured items.
We can be aware of our impacts and do our part, while also shopping and elevating you. That can mean anything from getting you to invest in a few higher quality options instead of ten, or wearing an item once more than you normally would, or passing on a shirt to a friend.
Where I can, I’ll give advice on how, what and where to sell your things, how best to manage waste that cannot be reused, and on how we can rewear or re-fashion your items into something you can love again.
We’ll work through it together.

We’ll determine your curated style & true needs based on your personality and lifestyle.
I believe in buying better:
We will only buy pieces that fit into your lifestyle or elevation goals.

Together, let’s Reoutfit and change the way we view styling.
Every month we send a portion of our service fees to support The OR Foundation, a nonprofit focusing on environmental justice, education, and circular fashion.
I’m passionate about their multimedia project Dead White Man’s Clothes, which highlights the global fashion waste that ends up in Accra, Ghana. As a personal stylist, it is my aim to help educate my clients on how we can extend the life of our clothes and reduce the post-consumer clothing waste problem.
